I think Liz being a very successful beauty editor,having written over 24 books and having some very "influencial" beauty contacts - including the "beauty bible" ladies doesnt help their relationship and her award from the Queen (MBE?/OBE?) for her contribution to beauty/business wont have helped either? I also got the impression AY didnt rate the brand and still do at times especially when she says "can be used as an introduction to cleanse,tone and moisturise" or "use the Decleor Aromaescence(sp?) to take Skin repair up from a cold cream to a hard working anti-ageing cream"? As Sazza said she has hosted LE shows for the last couple of years(i always thought she had been"told" to?) - but LE has been with QVC for over 11 years, so what happened to the first 9 which she never hosted including TSV's ? When AY is hosting her "high end" brands - Gatineau,Elemis,Decleor etc she gushes about them and mentions the awards thay have won(the awards are usually on display) but doesnt have the same "gushiness(if this is a word)" when hosting LE shows. That said i hope Alison is keeping well(as we all know she doesnt keep well at times). Linda
