it has invaded my tv because i am too lazy to reach the remote and switch over

Who in their right mind wastes their money on this utter shite?

I can actuall visualise the sort of person. It is not a flattering image.

no. "kipling" bags.

they are awful. and in seriously dodgy colours,

Oh and royal wedding Monkey keyrings. though how big your keys need to be to require such a sized key ring i will never know.

honestly the stuff is vile and so expensive given how minging it is.

I dont know how much they pay these women to wax lyrical about how lovely these things are bt its not enough.

I do know someone in RL that buys from these...I think she fit's your "image" to a tee. She asked me a couple of months ago about something she saw on the channel..I looked it up on the net and found a better one cheaper..! I feer the Q stands for Quantity NOT quality!

The scary thing is that if you watch it long enough it all starts to look good... Blush

i think they are a "unique selling point"

weirdos people collect them apparently.
They all have names.


Just what would you do withi those bags? they aren't meant as handbags for grown women are they?

Oh.
I cried last year because I couldn't afford a fancy doormat from QVC.
I was unwell at the time.

I do love QVC though, but only the make up/cleaning/cooking hours.
They make all the stuff look so good, and it keeps me company in the night when I can't sleep.

Sometimes they have on creepy doll hour though. What's that all about?
And then people phone up and talk about the dolls as though they are real.
Yikes.

15 MO DD2 manages to key in the numbers for QVC type channels (and more often than not Ocean Finance) and from what I see I feel really sorry for the presenters having to spin out their enthusiasm for the stuff.

Can't beat the bloke screwing in the trampoline leg on QVC in the apprentice one year Grin

i appear to be in open mouthed horror like fascination.

I keep watching awaiting the next horror.


seriously turn it on and find me one outfit, just one outfit that you could wear with any of those hideous bags.

they keep saying things like "adjustability" like that is a real world.

and as for them being £65 in the shops...who are you kidding! no stores sell these things surely.

I'm think airports mad.

Would be great to have all those compartments and standing up capacity.

Oh lawks.

I'm going to bed before I get itchy fingers.

Ooh I can pay for it twice? Confused

How do they model those bags without laughing?

Now that's acting, they deserve an Oscar.

(we'll not talk about the Royal Wedding biscuit tin that I bought from the hospital shop)

Best thing I saw on QVC was a shiny shirt with a tiger on it - the presenter danced the hanger around and exclaimed 'Look how playful it is!' Hmm

Seriously though my friend (who does fit quite well with OP's description Smile ) buys this shite. Then she sells it on e bay for a huge profit! I don't think i would have the guts tbh - as tempting as it is!!

Shiny shirt?
Tigers?

Would you wear a wolf fleece over it in the cold weather?
