Models turn B/As

[Brissles]

I might be wrong but is Charlotte on with Will presenting Denim & Co. one of the qvc models ? Is this the way forward now, the models pitching up as a presenter. I know one or two have moved over from the catwalk but it ls happening more now.

I think they’re struggling to find decent new BA’s. Sam Ovens moved across to presenting and she’s great.

It has been like this for years on QVC. Way back, Claudia was a model then became the Tech BA then moved to full-time QVC presenter. She left in the end to launch her own very high-end jewellery brand.

Not a model but actress Jill Franks started on QVC as a fitness BA then became a presenter on QVC.

Frankie made the switch, but unfortunately wasn't great.
I recall Deborah-Ann stepping in for the Bare Minerals show as a one-off.

Sam Ovens describes the pieces she sells in detail. One complaint: her excessive and unnecessary laughter. On the whole, the women on QVC laugh too much. The men don't. Smiling, showing they are happy to be doing their job is great, but giggling and throaty laughter is out of place, imo.

Agree. Kim still does it, though she's toned it down. Are we females still guilty of trying to please and be pleasing too much to get people on our side and in their case, buy more? Over-laughing doesn't have this effect, though, it just irritates.

I didn’t know Claudia and Sam had been models. Both very watchable. I hadn’t noticed her laughing but now I won’t be able to see anything else. As for Kim, she’s just very strange. It’s as if she’s painfully shy and overconfident at the same time. I suspect she’s shy and deals with it by knowing every detail of every stitch on her clothing. Then again she doesn’t pause for breath and wants to maximise every second of air time. She’s a complicated lady.

Yes she has been presenting for awhile now.

I'd rather watch Jenny Blackhurst present her range. Kim is hard to listen to for a whole show.

 

[Turandot]

I don’t know why they don’t use Carla Lazlo more. She always presents well and knows her stuff.
Maybe it’s her choice. I know she loves her cruises.

 

[donna255]

Yes, Carla loves her holidays. Good for her. So no doubt only takes the hours she wants to work. I know quite a few people on here used to say she should be a full-time QVC presenter, but I doubt she wants to. I have seen her on one of the Jane McDonald travel shows in with a group of other women enjoying a holiday. We went oh! Did you see Carla?

 

[ERICS MUM]

I think Carla was doing an acting course so presumably she’s getting other types of work nowadays, leaving less time for QVC.

 

[Toril]

I like Charlotte and Sam because they go into detail about the things that they are presenting. I no longer buy clothes from QVC, although I do sometimes have those shows on in the background, and both of those are good at what they do.

I think many years ago Carla Lazlo and Abby Hornet were both presenters on the original Ideal World. This was before they employed the ex Bid TV charlatans/buffoons.

She was a bit OTT today with Julia

I agree, they are both pleasant to watch and do what they are supposed to.

I prefer Carla

Nana Aquia on GBN was on Bid tv in her early career. I remember her because she always had a blue streak in her hair (or wig). Things that you remember eh ?

It's funny isn't how they never say 'Here's Jenny Blackhurst who, along with Carla Lazlo, is the BA for Kim and Co'. They are never referred to in the same breath and I do wonder if Carla is at home seething when Jenny is on and vice versa.
