Where Are They Getting These New Models From?

They don't seem to be very experienced at their job.

They need to start somewhere. Maybe, practice will help. I know I couldn't do it.

I would certainly change the channel if I was friustrated with the models.  It it was wearing me down, I'd stop watching.  Why subject yourself to that?

I don't recall saying I was frustrated or that it was wearing me down.  I think that was you.

You have to be referencing that one with the shifty eyes and no smile during the jewelry presentation. Wow she was interesting. Had to be her first time on camera, she had no idea where to look, which I don't understand.

I felt bad for her.   She seemed very uncomfortable.   Didn't know what to do with her hands or where to look.   The more experienced models make it look easy!

 

I remember back in the 1990s, I was asked by my employer to go have professional photos done.   I had several clothing changes and was required to strike particular poses and HOLD it while the photographer took a picture from different angles with different backgrounds and lighting.   I knew then I could never model for a living and never questioned their enormous paychecks!

she was a model? i had the volume on mute, and when i saw her, i thought she might be BB's sister. they kinda look alike. and when i saw how uncomfortable she looked, i really didn't think she was one of the models.

I remember that back in the day when QVC first started, they had the BEST jewelry model ever.........her name was Candy and I don't think she was really a model,but worked a behind the scenes job at the Q.  She used to do the 18K gold and DMQ shows with Jeff Hewson.

We're so used to models on QVC who have been around for 10+ years that it's easy to think they have no responsibilities beyond showing up.  "Anybody can do that job."  but only with training and practice -  and potential to start with.

Well, "new" does = not very experienced.
