Spousal Unit and I are watching QVC and I’ve had just enough margaritas to think that maybe I *do* want that poly-span-stretch-knit, mock-neck sweater with the button that looks like Boccati jewelry. I mean, it’s MACHINE WASH, you guys.
The shirt was designed by Dennis Basso, who is joining us via zoom. The shirt is caviar crepe with “textured knit”. Apparently QVC “trademarked the word”. Do NOT refer to your clothing as textured knit. They own that. Allegedly.
And the shirt has a zipper! Apparently a famous lady I never heard of always demanded a zipper in her clothes so they wouldn’t miss her makeup. Says Dennis Basso, who is apparently known for his fur and faux fur, and also for designed the zipper lady.
Dennis has the model dancing to show off the Gwen pants, and she looks intensely uncomfortable. Also, Dennis does not want you to be afraid of plaid. He would like you to maybe wear it with a tunic top. Also, Spousal Unit thinks he maybe just saw a cockroach in their studio.
The Gwen Stafani pants are only $70. And there are only 400 pairs. And they’d go great with this double-breasted blazer coming up. Which is only $118.98, and now I own a shirt and pants and a blazer that don’t match, and I can’t afford any more clothes for like six months.
Host lady is now wearing the textured knit(tm) shirt with jeans and the blazer, and you can just see the heat getting to her. She’s taking faster and faster. I think she’s trying to rush the dialog so she can take it off. Ooooh! And she’s talking over Dennis now.
Oh, Spousal Unit changes the channel... to another QVC channel, because there is more than one and HOW DID I NOT KNOW THIS?
Okay, Host Guy on this channel is wearing a “wearable blanket” that is totally a tunic hoodie combo, but made of shiny fleece leopard print. And he is rocking it.
Now they have a lady host giving a sales pitch and being coy about which color she bought herself.
Spoiler alert: she’s literally wearing the pink one. Right now. On zoom.
Was QVC always this amazing, or has Covid, like, broken them?
Apparently, there’s a bigger one coming up. Bigger wearable blanket. Everyone wearing it looks like a teletubby, but they’re, like, REALLY excited about it. And now they went to... commercial? A commercial for future commercials.
Okay, so Spousal Unit took us back to the first channel, and we’re talking about white denim and how we can totally wear it all year now. We’re still on the blazer because they haven’t sold out yet. Apparently people don’t love the gold buttons and the fringe.
