My shade of nude is please, put your clothes back on.

When an undergarment is described as "nude", everyone knows it's a light tanish color. I see no reason to make it a major racial issue.

Years ago, she referred to "nude" as your shade of nude.

That has stuck with me ever since I heard her say that.

How intelligent - and inclusive.

I miss her as a host.

I remember her on HSN-terrific host.
I used to call her Big Red. She was a fabulous host.

There was another red haired host named Rachel Huber and I called her Little Red.

Rachel Huber was my favorite host over there. I also like Bill (when he was a host ) and Colleen,

No one made it a "major racial issue". Someone merely pointed out that "nude" is subjective. Apparently there are major manufactures who get it and are commited to providing "nude" shades for all women. Inclusion isn't the "major racial issue", the lack of inclusion is the "major racial issue."

@Kachina624 It's not a major racial issue. What it is -- is a very important representation issue. Talking about inclusion is not at all the same as talking about racial issues. Are you saying if a vendor's nude color was a bronze, caramel, or mocha shade, that would seem all inclusive? What we got used to does not make it right, at any time. They are resting on old time standards that were never meant to be inclusive. That's the problem.

"Nude" is an antiquated name when marketing absolutely did not consider diversity at all -- companies simply did not care. Other companies purposefully did not want to look like their products were being bought by diverse populations. I know, I used to work in the marketing department of a major company in the 80's & 90's and was specifically brought in, as an African-American woman, and asked if ads and brand names were inclusive. I was insulted, benignly of course, more than once, but I had to educate on the professional, financial, and marketing aspects of "inclusion in the modern age." Yeah, that's what it was called. So, still seeing nude 30 years later is ridiculous. More people of differing backgrounds at the decision table bring more insight to decisions like these.

Bill still hosts!! He is on HSN for some silver and on TSC for diamonds.

@Caaareful Shopper - Nicely described! And I will say that as one of the palest of the pale, "nude" is tan/brown for me and doesn't match my skin tone at all.

This.

When you say "nude", it is usually referring to a certain range of light beige shades in most minds.

Well, what does a darker skinned woman wear for a no show undergarment?

Black?

Nope. Not if she is on the lighter end of the deep tones.

White? Nope. White shows on everyone. That's why skin colored underwear exists.

I like seeing and hearing several colors that reflect many skin tones. It's more variety - and inclusiveness - for everyone.

Yeah to the companies that see this!

It's more profitable to be inclusive so on that basis alone, it's something that needs to be done.

No one will want to buy from a company that makes them feel like an outsider or that they have to settle for something rather than buying what they really want.
