* Logging #QVCchat to: [#fashions]
<theark> i thought so but was not sure
<DiDi> I have medium brown hair...but yellow undertones in 
my skin and blue-gray eyes.
<Peggy-WI> do you look best in jewel tones/white/black, 
etc??
<sunflowersam> i am dark blond with grey eyes - what does 
that make me peg?
<theark> i am not sure...but i like blue and purples
<Peggy-WI> sun -- without "seeing" you -- is there a 
definite contrast between eyebrows and skin?
<sunflowersam> yes
<Peggy-WI> do you look better in pastels or darker tones?
<sunflowersam> dark
<Peggy-WI> then most likely a winter
<sunflowersam> ok
<Peggy-WI> those that look good in olive green (yikes) are 
most likely autumns
<oriole-> I look like I've been dead three weeks in olive
<theark> me too
<fogtarra> LOL
<Peggy-WI> ori - only three weeks?
<oriole-> hahahahahaha
<Peggy-WI> more like 3 years for me!
<sunflowersam> brb
<oriole-> I have dark brown hair (this week), med. 
complexion, med. blue eyes... face looks best when wearing a 
red blouse, but rest of me looks best (slimmer) in dark 
colors. Does that make me a winter, too?
<oriole-> k
* fogtarra thinks what why looks bad in that blouse yeterday
<Peggy-WI> by the way -- thanks for having this on a 
Wednesday so I could participate
<oriole-> I'm so sorry - I had no idea that Wed was better 
than any other day for some folks
<Peggy-WI> ori - yup!
<fogtarra> yes thanks
<geewiz> But ori, your pic on the qvc home page, you seem to 
have red hair
<Peggy-WI> ori - I do volunteer work on Tuesday nights
<oriole-> it was red then, wiz :)
<oriole-> I didn't know.  I really am sorry.
<geewiz> ok
<Peggy-WI> np
<geewiz> Yes, Wednesday is better for me, too
<Peggy-WI> I've just d/l the log for the others
<oriole-> Now that we've discovered what season we are.... 
should we do anything special to promote those features?
<fogtarra> yes
<sunflowersam> back
<oriole-> wb sun
<theark> wb
<geewiz> ok
<Peggy-WI> wb
<sunflowersam> tnx
<oriole-> or... is there anything we definitely should not 
do?
<Peggy-WI> ori - very simply - accent the positive
<Peggy-WI> camoflauge the negative
<oriole-> a push up bra for all seasons?
<oriole-> hahahahahaha
<Peggy-WI> don't think I spelled that right
<Peggy-WI> hehe
<geewiz> I'm no expert, but to share one important thing I 
learned while getting my colors done....
<theark> we dont count off for spelling :-)
<oriole-> tis okay Peg - we can't read right anyway
<Peggy-WI> thx ark :))
<geewiz> If you wear glasses, make certain they are the 
right color for your face.
<Peggy-WI> hehe
<sunflowersam> yes gee - go ahead
<Peggy-WI> gee -- color & shape of lenses
<geewiz> Yes, shape as well
<oriole-> If I alter my makeup I can alter the color glasses 
I wear
<fogtarra> one of the best things can do on glasses
<Peggy-WI> ori - me too
<fogtarra> is use anti-reflective coating
<fogtarra> so glasses not as noticable
<geewiz> Yes, fog, you are sooo right
<Peggy-WI> my frames are goldtone but should be silver tone
<fogtarra> and see eyes more
<fogtarra> glasses should be treated as jewelry
<Peggy-WI> without glasses or contacts - my eyes don't see 
at all!
<oriole-> Uh oh... then I'd be in trouble, tarra!
<fogtarra> why ori
<oriole-> well.... if I have several boxes full of jewelry 
and I treated glasses like jewelry, I'd need quite a few 
pair!
<DiDi> LOL!
<fogtarra> thats right ori
<Peggy-WI> hehe
<oriole-> let's see.. I have a new suit - think I need a new 
pair of frames
<oriole-> hahahahahaha
<theark> LOL!
<Peggy-WI> hehe
<oriole-> Anyone buying clothing from Q lately?
<theark> not me
* fogtarra sends ori one of her 1300 frames from store to 
slect from
<oriole-> thanks tarra!
<fogtarra> i have not brought anything
<Peggy-WI> ori - some urban wool
<geewiz> It's so hard to decide on lenses, when you can't 
see what you are buying!!
<oriole-> you're right, wiz!
<geewiz> Frames, I mean
<oriole-> I never bought urban wool.  Is it nice?
<Peggy-WI> i love it
<Peggy-WI> very "upscale"
<fogtarra> is it itchy like wool peg?
<geewiz> Peggy, describe the feel of the fabric, is it soft?
<Peggy-WI> very soft - not "itchy" to me at all
<DiDi> Several people on the bb seem to like it a lot.
<Peggy-WI> and I'm allergic to life
<oriole-> I'm not allergic to anything, but I am 
uncomfortable in heavy clothes
<Peggy-WI> ori - the sweaters are not at all heavy
<Peggy-WI> for that matter - the jackets aren't either
<oriole-> thanks peggy - I surely thought they were just 
from looking at them on screen
<geewiz> How about the suit-type jackets?  Have you tried 
one?
<Peggy-WI> the sweaters I have are the jersey turtlenecks
* oriole- is sweating just thinking about wearing a 
turtleneck
<Peggy-WI> gee-jackets are fine too (at least to me)
<sunflowersam> same here
<Peggy-WI> hehe
<Peggy-WI> It's currently about 50 here
<oriole-> it's 65 here now
<Peggy-WI> definitely sweater weather
<sunflowersam> a turtleneck suffocates me in any weather
<oriole-> at 50?  I'd need CPR
<oriole-> hahahahaha
<DiDi> I'm jealous. Still summer here.
<theark> here too didi
<Peggy-WI> ori - you sound menopausal!
<Peggy-WI> hehe
<oriole-> I've always been like this. Menopause should be a 
real treat!
<theark> hehehe
<Peggy-WI> maybe you'll cool off!
<oriole-> hahahahaha
<oriole-> I wish!
<oriole-> Anyone buy any other clothing lately?
<Peggy-WI> ori - come visit in January -- bet you won't be 
warm
<oriole-> I'm sure :)
<oriole-> If it wasn't for all the snow you get, I'd 
probably love the climate
<Peggy-WI> ori - actually we haven't gotten A LOT of snow 
for a few years - just cold as you know what!
<oriole-> hahahahaha
<fogtarra> so that wool is warm enough in that weather?
<Peggy-WI> I'd say you know what but you'd kick me out!
<oriole-> maybe that and a down coat, LOL!
<Peggy-WI> tarra - about 10 layers of it!
<fogtarra> ok
<oriole-> hahahahahaha
<oriole-> the kicks are set so if I am afk and a jerk comes 
in, they'd get auto bounced
<oriole-> you could always come right back in if it 
accidentally went off
<Peggy-WI> hehe
<oriole-> Nobody seems to be buying much clothing... any 
particular reason why not?
<fogtarra> what have you gotten in clothes lately ori
<DiDi> I bought too much this summer...now I'm broke.
<oriole-> that's a good reason!!
<DiDi> Also found better sales at Dillards.
<theark> well i do not work outside of the home so I really 
dont need it
<sunflowersam> nudists?
<oriole-> hahahahaha
<theark> LOL
<Peggy-WI> anybody get the Chadwicks catalog?
<fogtarra> i have not seen anything new offered
<oriole-> Ark, I don't need it either - that was never the 
point <g>
<fogtarra> yes peg i got it
<theark> lol ori
* DiDi doesn't need a reason to buy clothes ;)
<Peggy-WI> lots of nice classic clothes in it -- ALL size 
ranges too
<sunflowersam> i have to wear uniform for work - so I don't 
need much either
<oriole-> I wear a uniform, too
<Peggy-WI> I have to wait until I get my winter stuff out -- 
can't remember what I have
<fogtarra> for the first time in my life i wear clothese
<geewiz> I'd rather spend my money on jewelry
<Peggy-WI> CRS you know
<oriole-> an hour of upscale uniforms might be an idea for Q 
to try
<sunflowersam> lol
<DiDi> Ori...I can see it now...uniforms with detachable 
animal print collars and cuffs.
<Peggy-WI> ROTFLMAO
<theark> lol
<oriole-> I'd wear that in a heartbeat!
<fogtarra> LOL

<theark> ori, you mean you got it already?
<oriole-> I kept the boucle sweater w/faux fir trim and 
front zipper
<Peggy-WI> how come
<oriole-> hahahahaha
<oriole-> I know - I read that thread. I can't believe some 
people still didn't get all their stuff!
<oriole-> That sweater is lovely - Jackie O style and very 
well made
<oriole-> the rest....

<oriole-> What did you notice with it, Jamie?
<oriole-> what color did you get?
<jamie88> it doesn't hold up well.
<sunflowersam> back
<theark> wb
<oriole-> wb sun
<jamie88> i got a red one.  it's cute with jeans.
<Peggy-WI> Lands End has knits like FF only a bit more 
substantial
<sunflowersam> tnx   that darn cat!!
<jamie88> i like lands' end a lot.
<oriole-> the one I had gotten was in blue... it was a 
peculiar shade of blue
<oriole-> I never ordered fro Land's End
<jamie88> the red is a true red.  i looks pretty good.
<oriole-> At least they fixed the FF sizing
<Peggy-WI> ori - they are based in Wisconsin -- have website 
- landsend.com
<oriole-> they used to run gigantic. Now they're just "full"
<oriole-> I'll take a look, Peggy.  Thanks!
<Peggy-WI> hehe -- liked it when they ran gigantic - could 
order down a size
<Peggy-WI> ori - great flannel sheets too
<DiDi> That's always a good feeling...ordering down a size 
;)
<oriole-> I still do on the pants, but I don't anymore on 
the tops
<jamie88> check out their overstocks.  they have some great 
sales.
<sunflowersam> realy - love flannel sheets
<theark> will have to check out the sheets
<oriole-> Did you ever order the FF regular pants?
<Peggy-WI> jamie - do you have any LE outlets down there?
<jamie88> no :-((
<Peggy-WI> sorry :(
<jamie88> there are some by Chicago, but i've never gone.
<Peggy-WI> lots up here too
<DiDi> I can't imagine sleeping on flannel sheets..I need 
air conditioned sheets.
<oriole-> hahahahahaha
<jamie88> lol
<Peggy-WI> didi - I had flannel sheets on all summer
<jamie88> brb
<oriole-> k
<theark> k
<Peggy-WI> very comfortable even in summer
<oriole-> actually didi - you may like them. They are cotton 
and absorbant
<Peggy-WI> and if you are unfortunate enough to get sunburn 
-- very soft on skin
<DiDi> I may try some...they just seemed like they would be 
really warm.
<sunflowersam> didi - they just feel really good
<Peggy-WI> warm in winter & cool in summer
<sunflowersam> in any  weather
<oriole-> I don't think they're warm. They just aren't cold 
to the touch when you first get into bed
<DiDi> Ok...y'all are talking me into it. 
<jamie88> isn't flannel just a brushed cotton?
<oriole-> yep
<theark> :-)
<sunflowersam> you won't be sorry didi
<oriole-> What does everyone think of Susan Graver's 
clothes?
<Peggy-WI> ori - I might be in minority - I love it
<jamie88> i never bought any
<theark> i never bought any
<sunflowersam> me neither- i turn it off when she comes on
*** geewiz-away is now known as geewiz
* Sound request: can't find [imbac.wav]
[geewiz SOUND]
<oriole-> I love it too, peg
<oriole-> wb wiz
<theark> wb gee
<geewiz> thx, sorry I took so long
<jamie88> what kind do you buy?
<jamie88> wb gee
<geewiz> thx
<oriole-> sun - I turn the sound off because I can't listen 
to her for too long
<Peggy-WI> ori - I ALWAYS get compliments when I wear it
<jamie88> do you buy the totables?
<oriole-> and everyone wants to touch you?  LOL!
<Peggy-WI> no
<DiDi> I've got two Graver blazers...I'm kinda lukewarm 
about them.
<sunflowersam> her mouth is non stop boring
<Peggy-WI> hehe
<oriole-> Her blazers are just so -so on me, too
<jamie88> i must admit that i never listen to her
<oriole-> I never tried totables
<oriole-> I love her tunics
<jamie88> some of her prints are a little extreme for me.
<oriole-> they fit so well, they are so comfortable and they 
look very expensive on 
<oriole-> you could die from some of her prints
<Peggy-WI> at least she doesn't ignore the plus size folks
<oriole-> especially the printed pants
<Peggy-WI> hehe
<jamie88> lol
<geewiz> For sure
<jamie88> the models look like they're wearing wallpaper
<oriole-> she's added the xs and xl on a lot of her stuff 
and talls and petites on some, too
<oriole-> wallpaper!  I love it!!
<jamie88> that's good.  something for everyone.
<Peggy-WI> not enough petites tho
<oriole-> not enough talls, either <g>
<Peggy-WI> sad but true
<oriole-> but it least she thinks of everyone to some degree
<Peggy-WI> yes she does
<oriole-> I have to have at least 20 of her tunics
<jamie88> she does more than a lot of their designers
<oriole-> two of her shorts sets
<jamie88> wow, i'll have to look at them more closely
<oriole-> one jacket, vest and pants set
<oriole-> (solid pants)
<Peggy-WI> ori - I love her tunics
<Peggy-WI> feel skinny in 'em
<oriole-> I dress them down with regular leggings or dress 
them up with dressier pants or a skirt
<jamie88> i'll definitely have to look them over
<DiDi> Ok...you all are selling me on Graver tunics, too.
<DiDi> I'm going to the poor house, and it's YOUR FAULT!!!!
<oriole-> hahahahahaha
<theark> LOL!
<Peggy-WI> hehehe
<jamie88> LOL
<oriole-> they're supposed to machine wash, tumble dry. I 
just machine wash and hang them up and they look brand new
<geewiz> Use Ori's Q card!!
<jamie88> now there's a great idea
<Peggy-WI> ori - that's what I do too
<oriole-> I've had some I've literally lived in for a few 
years already and it shows no signs of wear
<oriole-> hahahahaha wiz!
<Peggy-WI> I have some from her 1st show
<oriole-> I don't think I recall her first show
<jamie88> is she only on in the morning.  i'm at work on 
THurs. morining.
<oriole-> I set the vcr
<Peggy-WI> so do I
<oriole-> and I'm always up to watch her tsv's
<Peggy-WI> already set for tomorrow
<jamie88> hmm, i guess i can always check iqvc, too.
<Peggy-WI> her next TSV is ugly IMHO
<oriole-> what is it?
<jamie88> what is it, peg?
<Peggy-WI> jacket -- velvet with the microfiber
<Peggy-WI> velvet at shoulder area
<Peggy-WI> in a big block
<oriole-> I have little use for another jacket *sob*
<Peggy-WI> don't remember the colors - but figured I'd save 
money
<oriole-> that's another thing I really like about her 
clothes
<oriole-> the die lots are consistant from year to year
<jamie88> that's good to know.
<Peggy-WI> yes they are
<oriole-> I hate to sound like her, but you really can fill 
in a piece to match when you want to
<Peggy-WI> hehehe
<theark> hahaha
<jamie88> ori, the spokeswoman for SG
<oriole-> Easy care/easy wear, machine wash/tumble dry, 
strangers will want to come up to you and touch you!

co leggings being great. She apologizes for not being able 
to be here this eve.
<jamie88> i have a few of their things and love them.
* DiDi loves anything denim.
<Peggy-WI> I wish they would do a blazer
<oriole-> their leggings are too short for me
<mariner1> I have never tried them but after reading and 
hearing all about them am going to give them a shot
<Peggy-WI> ori - how tall are you??
<oriole-> 5'10"
<jamie88> then they're probably perfect for me.
<geewiz> LOL
<Peggy-WI> I hate you!  ;)
<jamie88> LOL
<oriole-> the grass is always greener, peg
<oriole-> at least you could hem your stuff
<jamie88> in either case, it's hard to find clothes that 
fit.
<oriole-> or - as JRT says, roll the waist band down
<oriole-> hahahahaha
<Peggy-WI> but you don't have to climb up on a chair to get 
things off a shelf in a closet
<jamie88> LOL
<DiDi> I guess there are advantages to being 5'7".
<oriole-> true - I just have to fetch stuff for everyone 
else who can't reach
<Peggy-WI> didi - hate you too
<jamie88> i'm 5'4" which is definitely short.
<oriole-> Didi is the perfect height
<fogtarra> back to short again
<geewiz> speak for yourself, jamie, I am 5' 4" too!!
<oriole-> hahahahaha
<jamie88> lol
<DiDi> I'm glad there is one thing perfect about me ;)

<jamie88> LOL
<geewiz> Now, that's petite!!!
<oriole-> I feel like the Jolly Green Giant here
<Peggy-WI> ori - that 1/2 is important!
<jamie88> hang from a hook every night.  that way you'll 
stretch
<geewiz> You're outnumbered, Ori
<Peggy-WI> jamie -- if only ...
<oriole-> I know.  It's no fun being able to look at 
someone's dandruff instead of their eyes

*** Quits: Peggy-WI (Leaving )
<sunflowersam> NITE PEG
<sunflowersam> too late
<geewiz> too late
<oriole-> I've been thrilled with leggings - I wear slouch 
sox over them so you can't see how short they really are on 
me
<sunflowersam> brb
<jamie88> good idea
<theark> k
<geewiz> ok
<oriole-> but not the denim ones, just the poly/lycra ones
<theark> i do that too ori
<oriole-> Anyone try the Cervelle denim leggings from HSN?
<jamie88> nope
<theark> no HSN here
<geewiz> no, have you?  Are they nice?
<mariner1> not I
<oriole-> they're $21.50 and look like they're the same as 
denim & co
<oriole-> except that these come in 12 colors
<oriole-> no wiz - they're too short for me as well
<oriole-> if you buy em on a coupon day, it's even less
<jamie88> i ordered a sweater from hsn a few days ago.
<oriole-> Do you buy from them a lot?
<jamie88> i'm curious to see how it turns out.
<DiDi> I do
<jamie88> no, not very much.
<DiDi> I probably buy more clothes from HSN than from QVC
<geewiz> I get my vitamins from them and the Perlier Honey 
products.
<oriole-> I do too. I'm starting to feel like a traitor, but 
I'm buying a lot more from them than Q lately
<jamie88> this was when they had a sweater hour.  it's 
purple with a sun and moon.
<oriole-> sounds pretty :))
<jamie88> the description sounds just awful doesn't it?
<oriole-> You think so?  It sounded pretty to me
<DiDi> I keep waiting for (ha ha) cold weather so I can wear 
my HSN anniversary sweater.
<oriole-> hahahahahaha
<jamie88> good, but i think it'll be okay.  after all, 
purple is the new black.
<oriole-> I didn't think of that didi.  What *are* you doing 
with that sweater?
<geewiz> Didi, what is your HSN anniversaary sweater?
<oriole-> hahahahahaha
<jamie88> what hsn aniversary sweater?
<DiDi> Gee...it's the sweater they sold on their 20th 
anniversary...
<oriole-> I thought brown was the new black... or was that 
gray is the new black?
<jamie88> this season purple is also the new black
<geewiz> How about emerald green as the neew black
<jamie88> lots of purple in the winter
<DiDi> it has intarsia knitted HSN items on it...on the back 
is a woman in a chair, calling on teh phone to order.
<jamie88> sorry gee, that was last year's new black.
<oriole-> I hope not wiz - I look pretty awful in Emerald, 
too
<DiDi> Orange is the new black.
<geewiz> hahaha
<jamie88> sounds cute, didi.
<geewiz> Are you serious Didi?  That one sweater got my me.
<DiDi> It's cute...kinda hokey, but cute.
<jamie88> it's de rigeur for hsn shoppers

<DiDi> Bye sunflower
<jamie88> are you going to the local, didi?  sounds like 
fun.
<DiDi> I know the Texas local is Nov. 8...don't know where.
<DiDi> If it is in South Texas, I want to go.
<jamie88> let us know if you do.  i'll watch for you.
<DiDi> If I go, I 'll have a sign to say hi to you all.
<geewiz> Ditto for me, I'll watch for you
<DiDi> I'll have to get a BIIIIIIIIIIIIG sign so I can put 
everyone's name on it. ;)
<theark> haha
<jamie88> lol
<geewiz> Just put all our pict on it!!!
<DiDi> BTW, ark...I love your Diana page.
<theark> oh thanks didi
<DiDi> But I can't get the music to play. :/
<theark> hmmm...sorry
<DiDi> It just sounds like a drum...but on my Mac at school 
I can get it.
<DiDi> I don't know why there should be a difference.
<theark> what do yo have at home?
<DiDi> Compaq 486
<theark> dont know either
<DiDi> I keep playing it over and over at school.
<oriole-> If we were to compose a group request to the Q 
fashion buyers, what would everyone ask for?
<oriole-> I'd ask for Denim & co and other stuff in 
talls....
<geewiz> hmm, good question
<oriole-> and peg obviously wants more petites
<DiDi> Add plus sizes to the regular lines of clothing that 
don't have them already.
<fogtarra> if have item, have in all sizes
<theark> skirt and sweater sets
<fogtarra> not just some
<oriole-> good idea
<DiDi> Yes...skirts!
<geewiz> Shoes in narrow sizes!!
<jamie88> don't show the same outfits over and over.  more 
unusual designs
<DiDi> shoes in wide sizes!
<jamie88> i'd like to see them get more new, young 
designers.  hsn does a good job in that respect.
<DiDi> They need someone funky like Anthony Mark Hankins ;)
<oriole-> Do you have a particular designer/style in mind, 
jamie?
<jamie88> no, i just get tired of seeing the same old stuff.  
i want something more imaginative.
<jamie88> they're probably afraid it won't sell.
<oriole-> Has anyone bought Hankins' clothing:
<oriole-> ?
<jamie88> not me, but i would
<oriole-> they don't have to buy 15,000 pieces to start out 
with
<DiDi> I haven't...but I plan to get one of his big shirts 
this time.
<oriole-> I've flipped past some of his stuff. What fabric 
is it?
<fogtarra> better prices, more easy pay
<oriole-> oh yeah - and real end of season clearance sales!
<jamie88> i'd like to see a real clothing sale for a change, 
too.
<DiDi> He does peachskin and other polyester stuff
<geewiz> Me, too
<oriole-> is it poly?  I didn't know that
<oriole-> I thought it was rayon, that's why I passed it by
<DiDi> A lot of it is...I don't know if he does natural 
fibers or not.
<oriole-> I can't stand listening to him, so I never knew 
for sure
<DiDi> Could be.
<jamie88> is his stuff washable?
<DiDi> I think he's a scream.
<geewiz> You woke my cat Ori
<oriole-> sorry wiz :(
<geewiz> LOL
<oriole-> hey big guy - go back to sleep
<geewiz> he's better now, thx

<theark> DMQ comes on at 3:00 am
<oriole-> although Dan Wheeler looks pretty good in plaid 
pj's 
<oriole-> hahahahaha
<mariner1> I think the one tonight is only for 4 hours 
instead of all night
<jamie88> LOL
<jamie88> i want to see him in boxer shorts and an old 
tshirt.
<oriole-> they were selling some kind of toy
<oriole-> you clip it around your waist, or on a belt or 
something
<oriole-> it's like a little basket w/an attached ball on a 
string
<fogtarra> oh i saw that
<jamie88> that way he can play with himself.
<oriole-> they were standing there in their pj's bopping 
their hips trying to get the balls into the basket
<oriole-> hahahahaha
<theark> LOL
<mariner1> my parents used to do that at parties but they 
used nylons and a potatoe
<oriole-> oh jeez - look at what Dan Wheeler is wearing now!
<theark> i know
<fogtarra> it does not match

$$ from selling on Q that they have to be this humbled to 
get their products on the air?

<jamie88> lol, poor guys.  some people will do anything for 
money.

<oriole-> anyone try these lite bites?
<jamie88> nope
<mariner1> that guy is a frightfull sight in his shorts
<mariner1> nope
<theark> no
<oriole-> they look tasty enough, but if you tend to 
overeat, why would you just eat one of these bars?
<jamie88> $38 for 24 cookie bars seems pretty steep to me.
<oriole-> hahahaha, mariner!
<theark> i agree jamie
<jamie88> it's better just not to eat.
<oriole-> this is the guy...

be seeing anyone - I already looked!

<jamie88> hubby is scary enough
<oriole-> hahahahahaha
<oriole-> This caller eats 1/2 bar in the morning and the 
other 1/2 in the afternoon?

bars
<jamie88> yeah, right.
