I consider her the original tat peddler adding in a touch of dubious influence over the less canny viewer with the daft fairy dust etc.
I’m with you brissles, I’ve aged this past year, I’m 63, and look better with a bit of weight on. I wear lip salve under my lipstick and it never bleeds, blusher I haven't worn for decades but have considered trying again to rid the ghost look, sparse eyebrows are a bugbear but since using paler shade I’ve been happier with result and it’s less painstaking.Clearly she was having a 'moment' on air, but who hasn't been horrified by seeing themselves in a shop mirror or recoiled at a terrible photograph and wondering who the hell that old woman is ?
I noticed the deterioration once I passed 60, but now I'm over 70 the hooded lids are making me look like an aged oriental lady, and even putting make up on is becoming a challenge. Instead of 'shoving' lipstick on its more of an art lesson trying not to make the lipcolour bleed, then recolouring eyebrows is not easy when the natural line is motoring through a deep wrinkle, and then there's the blusher - too much and hey its Coco the Clown, too little and you don't walk past the Funeral Directors in case they're having an Open Day !!!!
So I can sympathise with her particularly when you're sat next to a young, nubile and beautifully made up model - which, once upon a time, was you.
Earlier this week I watched a snippet of an interview Judi Dench did with Gyles Brandreth last year, she's in her mid eighties, her face shows this & she looks as though someone's tried to draw her many times but not erased the pencil marks they don't want. However, she is beautiful, her bone structure is wonderful & the minimal amount of make up she wears is enough. You're a kitten compared to that lovely lady & I'm sure you look glorious, Coco the Clown my foot!Clearly she was having a 'moment' on air, but who hasn't been horrified by seeing themselves in a shop mirror or recoiled at a terrible photograph and wondering who the hell that old woman is ?

I use an eyebrow powder & put it on with a narrow angled brush.I’m with you brissles, I’ve aged this past year, I’m 63, and look better with a bit of weight on.

God 'elp us!Just had a mooch on Kirks Folly facebook page and there`s lots of people wetting their knickers in the excitement of having them back on QVC UK. She`ll be blowing fairy dust from here to kingdom come !
She’ll have to have a hell of a puff on her; guessing she won’t be flying over, so she’ll have to blow it across the Atlantic…Just had a mooch on Kirks Folly facebook page and there`s lots of people wetting their knickers in the excitement of having them back on QVC UK.

A lot of what they did stayed more on the sentimental, positive-thinking side of things, though. I have to say I don't remember it being like a fairy-believing cult. A lot of people like the idea of magical beings, without ardently believing in them. Take unicorns, for example. I'm sure there's still a market for KF products and, I suppose, we can't expect everything to be to our own tastes or preferences - it would be a pretty boring world.Her products were marketed as being magical, mystical, lucky, healing etc. You can’t make those claims now. Fairy dust was blown at certain callers for good luck.Viewers used to phone in to say they believed in fairies, and saw them regularly, and were actively encouraged to do so. It was like some sort of cult, with pictures of the parties that Jennifer Kirk used to hold at her home, grown women prancing about dressed as fairies, and I’m sure there were men dressed up as ‘fairy kings’. Quite disturbing! Q don’t allow Lola Rose to talk about the properties of their various stones, as they tried to go down that route some time ago. Anna occasionally manages to get in a hint , with ‘look on our website’ for information.
