Kipling TSV 14/02/25

Is it just me or does it sound like Jill Franks has had an Invisalign (or something else) fitted/done? I could definitely hear a new lisp during the TSV presentation. Just me?

Yes, I noticed that too! Also she couldn’t wait to tell the Judith Williams man that she’d got a dreadful cold (after she had greeted him wth the obligatory hug and kiss!) then proceeded to snort and rub her nose while the camera was close up to her face. What was all that about? I never heard her mention it on any other show she’s done. Perhaps she didn’t like the fact that JW had the ‘flu, or something, and wanted the attention instead of her.

“then proceeded to snort and rub her nose” - I hope not lol

 

[Marina]

I thought she should have been wearing a mask.

I thought she should have been wearing a mask.

Or stayed at home so that everyone else at QVC, who hasn’t already had it, didn’t catch it.

I notice she's whistling when pronouncing some words.

Anything with an ‘s’ sounds like a ‘th’. At first I thought she was concealing a sweet or something in her mouth and it was driving me mad! But then she drives me nuts on a regular basis

I bought my first ever back pack - the tsv last year - in cream and I love it. But not this one, it looks huge and at my age I don't carry my life around like a snail.

‘Carrying my life around like a snail’ that did make me laugh! I never wear a backpack as being the most suspicious person on the planet I would think someone is stealing my tissues, hand wipes , lip gloss etc.

 

[Dylina]

Is your tote bag tiny?

I do have a tiny tote bag. My sister calls it my mouse tote.

I think you're right. Pickpockets have the lightest touch and if backpacks have a zip compartment, it's asking for trouble in a crowded area. Even if they steal only a lip gloss, you still feel violated.

What is it with QVC kipling colours ?
They are flipping awful and not a patch on how they used to be. Weird .. they seem to be given the dregs … inmho of course

I’m sticking to Amazon and eBay established sellers … QVC are more than established but their exclusive colours an styles are not great

I think they use up excess fabric stock on these offers?

I was watching at midnight and thought she'd come straight from having some kind of cosmetic tweak - fillers or botox around the mouth lines. The left side of her mouth looked very stiff. It didn't sound nasal or like stuffy sinuses, it was like she could hardly move her mouth. It was so excruciating to listen to.

I wouldn’t know … they look drab and awful and they’ve got a thing about leafy patterns at times .. maybe it’s just me ..

She had voice problems the other year and off for months. When she came back, she was always sucking a sweet.

Some of the patterns are described as 'feminine,' but imo they look 'childish'.

I had a Pacsafe bag years ago when I travelled. It had a load of security features on it that I wish were available on more mainstream brands. I suppose if it's a toss-up between a fashionable bag that'll put you at risk of losing stuff or a boring secure one it'll be down to how much you value form over fashion.

When I was younger I'd travel without worrying about security. Now I'm older and wiser (and a worrier!), I wonder what the hell I was doing

 

[merryone]

I can't be doing with "organiser" bags they're just as bad if not worse than just throwing everything into a large bag and rummaging. I can never find anything if there's too many compartments. The amount of times I've checked the same compartment 2 or 3 times is nobody's business! Don't like Kipling anyway, 'cause you're paying for a name and a furry monkey!

Didn't have the programme on long enough to notice that always switch off when she is on.

Years ago the prints were really lovely. I still have a cabin bag of large white flowers on a silvery background (choice of lilac with white flowers) . Then I have a large cream tote with gold leather handles and lilac lining. Also 3 sequin (yep sequin) cross bodies for evening in cerise, green and silver. All so different. Now they're all sludge colours and funereal prints that are depressing.

Is it Kipling young designers who aren't creative enough - or are they so into their casual camouflage wear, that anything "pretty" is beyond the pale for them ?
