You don't have "the jacket"?

I plead Guilty! I'll never be accepted by Q's own chat forum at this rate, will I?

The pink striped top that Julia was wearing looked washed out colour wise. Someone on another Facebook page said that Ruth will be leaving the world of fashion early in 2026. True, or gossip?

Regarding Ruth's 'expert' status, to me it seems just like the Beckham kids syndrome - an 'expert' at one thing after another. As one thing pales (or fails!) they turn to something else. People who've spent years in a trade (like the fashion business) must laugh their heads off at some of what these so-called experts say.

Lauded as 'Experts', but in many cases with no background in the field, no training, little experience, etc. They must sit and think 'OK, now what's next?'

As long as you don't say that DL looks like a silly tw*t in the jacket you'll be OK with them!!!

The same with Amanda Holden. I can imagine her thumbing through an enormous factory catalogue of Chinese furniture/homeware products and putting a sticker on the ones she thinks will go down well on QVC. She'll add a few bells and whistles to make it her own design, and Bob's your uncle - a set of velvet trunks.

She said she was designing for next year

Read that she has left QVC

These channels will always offer the Z listers, partners of the famous (or formerly famous), etc. the opportunity to market the end result. Joe Public, who is likely to be really talented and have put in the hard graft, might never get the opportunity, even though Joe Public might have real talent. All so shallow and superficial, especially when someone is just putting their name to something.

Don’t forget the Bee? Wasn’t that her ‘symbol’? About as original as everything else.

It was a ladybird.

And Julien McDonald and the bloke with Persil teeth - Ryland - Ryan ? All stuff from the Chinese pick n mix warehouse with a branding name on.

Must take us for idiots.

It was a ladybird.

Of course! Much more original?!

 

[Toril]

Amanda always says that the ladybird signifies something special to the family on her shows but doesn’t say what it is. However it is relatively easy to find what it could be on the net. If that’s what it signifies then I understand.

Good luck, maybe? She needs all of that if she manages to continue her line of goods on QVC!!

No, it wasn’t for good luck.

A few years ago I bought the set of her three nestable boxes, in graduating sizes, and they’re still going strong but that’s the only item of hers that I have bought. I’m not “into” neon signs, metal trunks etc, but I was pleased with the boxes that I purchased. They were a lot cheaper than the current price so, from memory, I think they were probably a TSV.
