Q Talk

[NanaS]

Have you noticed several hosts will remark that this vendor or that vendor is a neighbor of theirs or a "good friend"? They all seem to know each other and the hosts seem to bring in friends of theirs to sell their products. Some of them must live really close to the studio as they seem to be there all the time !

What do ya'll think?

really?

Who cares where they live.

I noticed that they have formed friendships with the vendors...or so they say...could be good press....

There are some that are not so close....I recall hearing the gal from Legacy Legwear say she had to fly in from Connecticut....she was there for one showing and then was going back home....that made no sense to me...she said it was a two hour flight coming and going....

I haven't seen her in a while...maybe she tired of that long trip for a five minute slot....

I wonder if some of the Designers have a place in N.Y. and in Pa....the likes of Joan..Dennis...Judith...the Honora guys...Susan....Renee...etc....I can't imagine them driving back and forth...

I'd be friends with all the vendors too if I had endless supply of ""freebies"" like the hosts. I remember Kathy Levine talking about how her basement was wall to wall with TSV's and other items from vendors.

I don't think the question the OP asked was strange. I've often heard the hosts comment on the vendors living near them or mentioning that they see them at public places in their neighborhood. I guess this goes back to the discussion that has been on the forum about the hosts sharing too much information.

You DO realize that the hosts don't do the contract negotiating and schedule what products eventually end up on QVC .... right?

IMO, wanting to know where people live makes you sound like a creepy stalker ...... where they live is none of your business.

Unfortunately, the hosts' constant sharing of information about their family, friends, towns where they live and places they frequent results in a curiosity. If they didn't make so many personal statements maybe people wouldn't be so curious. I don't think the OP sounds like a creepy stalker; rather someone responding to information provided by someone else.

If I recall correctly, Lisa lives in David Venable's sub-division. She said that he told her about the houses in his neighborhood and she ended up buying her new home there.. You do hear a lot of back & forth from hosts saying they ran into a vendor shopping, out to dinner etc.. I don't see it as a negative thing. Goodness, they all know each other....geesh.

I suspect the vendors/reps who are fixtures on Q have a pied a terre if not their primary residence near the studio. Some vendor representatives appear to actually be QVC employees and probably live locally. I'd guess the hosts and the vendors and representatives who spend a good bit of time in the area could well live in the same neighborhoods or frequent the same establishments, though I think it probably also makes for a 'feel good moment' when they imply to the audience that they're all just one big happy family.

I think I read here that in the last year or so Susan Graver and her husband moved from New York to PA so she would be closer to QVC. Guess so as she is on almost every day. I know David V. has mentioned that Tara from Temp-tations lives in his neighborhood. I think some of the vendors have formed friendships with the hosts. Jill and Carolyn Pollack from Southwest Jewelry, Marybeth with Marie Osmond, etc. Laura Geller seems to socialize with Lisa and some of the other hosts. I think LG lives in New York.
