As we don't know exactly why Ali Young has an underactive thyroid it's really difficult to draw parallels with any personal experience with a similar diagnosis. Some people will have more severe symptoms than others without necessarily having a less active thyroid - for one thing because one person's "normal" is not the same as another's.

I agree with Donna that if Ali wants to detract attention from the eyebags she gets, she should, in theory, know the right tricks to achieve this.
 
the tv is a bummmer. she more than likely looks good in real life then bum the camera
 
All very interesting. I met Tova a few years ago on a cruise ship, she was lovely doesn't really speak the same as she does on QVC very down to earth in fact. She never walked by anyone who wanted to chat, dressed down during the day wore very nice gym type outfits. We were next to each other having a manicure and she chatted away for the whole hour. She also remembered my name when we next saw each other.

Say Ali K on a BA flight she is so tiny and acted a bit like a superstar! The cabin crew made a bit of a fuss over her. One of the, was saying how much she liked Dimoneeeek. Ali said yes it's very nice cut glass. Think the girl was miffed as she was saying how beautiful it was������.

So her sitting there in EEK shows and telling us that her husband(which one??), bought her diamonds and they looked no where as good as item is she selling and cost thousands is lies?:mysmilie_15: She thinks its just glass, oh dear. I remember in the old days of EEK they said it was grown and the hardnest was the same as say a sapphire or ruby 9 on the scale. Assuring us it would crack or shatter.

Is this her Gerald Ratner moment?
 
I am so shocked she denigrated eek. She always fronts the shows, wore it for her wedding and waxes lyrical continually. Thought it was laboratory made crystal not glass.
 
Looks like she has become a bit smug after her wedding .Even before she did strike to me as being snobbish .
 
I know things affect us all different, but I've had an under active Thyroid for about ten years, I've taken Thyroxine for the same amount of time and I don't have bags, so it proves that all these lotions and potions that you need to remortgage for do not work, all I use is a moisturiser and (ahem! if I say so myself) I have no lines and lovely skin (not down to genes because my mother had horrible skin)

I was also diagnosed with an underactive thyroid last year and am on Levothyroxine tablets and I've not got any problem with eye bags either, but I suppose the condition affects different people in different ways. I tried all the 'prestige' bands of skin care when I first discovered QVC but none of them made any difference to my skin. I now use a high street moisturiser which costs about £3 and it must be doing something because a guy thought I was in my 40s yesterday. Add about 20 years and you're nearer the truth.

Personally I think too much onus is put on getting rid of wrinkles, eyebags etc and I'd prefer to grow old gracefully (or disgracefully) without swelling the coffers of QVC on lotions and potions that don't necessarily work.
 
And getting back to the topic :wink: there are 3 presenters I wouldn't want to spend time with, but there are quite a few that I'd enjoy having a cuppa with.

I would have a coffee with a some of the presenters. Some I certainly would not entertain but I'm sure a few would surprise you. After all it's only a job they are doing, they can't be that bad in the real world, LOLOLO! :mysmilie_17:

Don't bet on it. They could be on THEIR best behaviour for telly and be even more obnoxious in real life!
 
The demands of selly telly are such that it's going to attract a certain type of person: bombastic, self-important, confident to the point of arrogant and constantly monitoring their image and 'brand' in order to further their own fame. They are also motivated solely by money, despite the protestations that the various pots of grease they sell are 'life changers'.

These characteristics are not ones I'd personally seek out in a friend so I suspect that they're as revolting off screen as on. Plus they'd be awful company because they'd be too busy talking about themselves ad infinitum to show any interest in anything/anyone else.

CaL did you just write the job description for the next Q presenter vacancy?

Do you think I should market it to them? "Are you full of your own self-importance to the extent that you don't really realise that there's a whole other world out there that doesn't revolve around you? If so, then why not think about joining our 'team' (in the loosest sense of the word) at QVC? You must be able to wax lyrical about anything and everything and have but a passing acquaintance with the truth. Ethnic minorities (we've ticked that box, thanks), those with regional accents (ditto) and those over a size 8 need not apply."
 
I'd assume that like most people, away from their job they hate the general public.

Hate anyone that is in a position to pass judgement on them. Viewers, forumers, bosses etc.

I think there is only one who puts time and effort into trying to suppress any point of view that is not glowingly positive about all things QVC...
