Poodle: You are a mind reader!!!!! Are you some kind ofr psyhcic(sp). This is the EXACT thing I was thinking just last night. I was going to post it but forgot. You might need to look to a career as a psyhcic. The funny thing is I have never thoought about this in my life until yesterday and here it is on the BB!

This is what I came up with: the plus size models are there for full-figured woman to see how QVC apparel looks on them. There is not much of a need to have them do a jewelry show. Also, many samples are in the average size. (Ring size 7, Bracelet size 7 1/2) I was wondering last night "Why does Iris never do jewelry shows? Or Meliss, or Tayna? etc..."

Demon&Co- I think that you are on track....but then I wonder if it's not a little 'heavier' than that.....why arent any of thier hosts plus sized??? Yes Jane Brown says that she wears a size large...but I think that most of the viewers are probobly ( yikes could NOT spell that-I need to lay off of the sauce!) plus woman and wouldnt it be great to celebrate that???
Or perhaps they are worried that Koos would torment them all like Patty! :)

Poodle: never mind just having plus sized hosts...how about plus-sized newspeople, singers (anyone see the VH1 story on Romeo Void, where the head of a major record company walked out after seeing how large the female lead singer was?). And while there are plus sized models shown in catalogs, how often are they shown in Sunday newspaper store flyers? There seems to be a stigma about people being plus-sized in advertising.
