Where have the Plus sized models Gone?

I was watching an 11 minute video of a Linea jacket. The regular models were there from the onset of the presentation. The "Plus" sized model came out at the 8 minute point. Why ?

I do not watch QVC very often, but recently when I have, I noticed that the larger girls linger at the back of the set, or stand behind a couch.

I think there use to be more plus-size models, too. Some presentations don't show ANY! My biggest complaint is that all the plus-size models are apple-shaped...it's very hard to tell what something will look like on my pear-shaped 1X/2X self!

I very much disagree. I see more average sized, average looking models on the Q than ever before. Louis gets the first line models, so if you only watch him, then that's who you would see.

Everything looks fantastic on the tall, thin models. Not everything looks good on bigger women. They should at least have a 1X model out in every outfit. Why do we need to see the same thing on 3 skinny people?

Didn't you get the memo that it's illegal for anyone to wear anything bigger than a size 12 in this country? (written with a very sarcastic tone)

I don't watch live QVC but I do haunt the AS IS and CLEARANCE sections looking to buy something on sale. It would seem the "left overs" are the smaller sizes and the average to larger are most likely there when I look. Seems the Q does not want to recognize that we are not all small or XS or XXS gals.

They use "brunette Maria" a lot.

Good Afternoon - Has anyone heard anything regarding Mary Beth Roe? I know she was in an car accident. Just was wondering how she is doing, as there haven't been any blogs or posts regarding her condition.

Yes but even she is a XL, it seems now thats as high up as they go. I remember when they did have a really cute 1X model and she was on all the time, years ago. Then she left and that was that. Oh and there was that, I think, plus size model Issac would use all the time but I haven't seen her for quit some time now either.
