In addition to not moving, Maria rarely even smiles.  She looks like she just wandered in and is wondering what's going on.  Michelle, the tall Black model, rarely smiles and usually looks like she's mad about something.

Some of those models are mad because they're hungry. I'd also be mad if I had to wear sunglasses at night. Or indoors.

@Desertdi: I'm still laughing at your flamenco comment. Imagine a model breaking into dance (think: "Bamboleo!") during a Susan Graver presentation. "This is so kooky!"

Re: Model just stands there

[ Edited ]

I have noticed for many years that Maria moves very little.  I kind of assumed that she might have a problem such as vertigo or dizziness.  Pivoting, as the models do, 

cold trigger that response.  Just a thought.

The models are instructed on what to do when they come out on to the set. They're models it's their job to just stand there. The producer/director tells them what to do.  In speaking about Maria, I've never seen her not smile.  I've seen her move to the forefront during a presentation.  She's gorgeous.

 

I don't care for the whole sunglasses thing.  It started with Issac and I noticed that they doing it with other brands.

 

I really, really don't care for the "let's go stand over by the models", it always looks awkward when the host and the vendor transition  over back to the racks.

Has anyone else noticed the model Maria (dark hair Maria) just stands there smiling when modeling clothes. The other models turn around so u can see the back of the clothes anyone else notice this?


That is why I love me some Katia when she models.  She acts like she's on a Paris runway modeling couture clothing. 

She is the Naomi Campell of QVC!

I don't mind them going over to show me things with the models if they are actually going to do something useful in the presentation. One of the things I don't like about the new fashion set is that there is so much "distance" in the way they show things that it is hard to decide how things look I agree with another poster who mentioned the sizing issue -- if the model or host is not wearing a correct size (too small for instance) and it is obvious then it makes it difficult to make a decision on sizing if I do want to buy. Actually since IMO the Q has had major issues with their sizing in all of their clothing lines including shoes, I may watch the fashions go buy but I don't buy like I once did because I've been disappointed too often.

I don't like it at all when the Petite model SITS modeling. Some things you like to see how it holds up to sitting, but I want the Petite model to stand.

The models are supposed to be professionals and know how to wear and show off the fashions  to the customers. IMO QVC models are  prima donnas, the vendor should never have to ask a model to turn around or move or walk to show off the clothes.Kate is the only model who really shows the clothes off, too bad she doesn't represent most of us. Tracy the petite model is another one who really shows the clothes off, but she rarely works. Meredith the petite model who is my size and build shows the clothes very well most of the time. The clothes should fit the models and not be pinned or altered so the customer knows what they are getting, it's not a photo shoot.
