Tired of the pink studio set

I totally agree – Why the cheesy pink feather wreathes and gaudy decor? Is QVC trying to make a joke out of HSN? The QVC sets have traditional holiday colors and HSN looks like Barbie decorated it. Something is really wrong and it makes me sad to see HSN treated like this.

This is HSN decorators, not QVC. This is the Florida colors they were so use to using when they were there. Looks like the Lilly Pulitzer influence.

I think the pink couch was a security blanket for them…but it’s become a huge joke, like much of HSN has with all the new inexperienced hosts running rampant. I really wonder what Mary Beth Roe actually did to train them…looks more like she took HSN’s money and ran, doing nothing.

If they wanted QVC to have the more traditional green/red holiday decor, they could have had HSN have something different, but tasteful. Think silver and gold, midnight blue, burgundy, crystals. Modern but glam (like Elton John showed from his home selling Slatkin candles) Law library chic, if that’s a thing?! 😉 Instead, it’s fuschia and pink with aqua curtains and cheap ivory laminate counters like it’s a tacky ’80’s fern bar. Makes me cringe.

Since original post, I had time to research Nancy Brinker, the 2013 salary debacle in which Brinker’s salary was made public causing severe decrease in donations, decisions made since then, and Komen’s expansion into November for fund raising.

It appears that Komen is struggling to obtain the massive funding pre-2013. That could be due to a number of issues.

Brinker’s recent interests moved to trans community as many of them complained about both Komen not recognizing that anyone can have breast cancer, not just women, and the bright pink campaign color.

HSN’s gaudy pink set design is not based on Victorian period Christmas trees and decorations imo. My neighbor researched Victorian era Christmas designs & decorations then replicated it in her own home 3 years ago. Her design was period correct to every detail and beautiful. Victorian era Christmas was muted palettes that didn’t eliminate green, red, and blue.

The other possibility is that the Barbie brigade or a designer’s influence is strong at HSN manager & newer hosts.

I do recall HSN’s set design changed to acknowledge black and hispanic history months but do not ever recall HSN devoting set design to celebrate men’s health awareness month with set design of all blues etc. This makes HSN seem prejudicial in regards to recognizing causes and people.

We will never know why HSN execs & set design changed to this in your face intrusion in your television viewing experience.

All I know is that is different from HSN post Qurate purchase and VASTLY different from pre-Qurate purchase.

It is so in your face that it takes your attention away from product demonstration.

After years of happy, fulfilling HSN television shopping, the past 3 weeks I’ve longingly watched QVC’s television programming.

But since it appears that since HSN is more interested in being a pantone, Barbie, and whatever else sycophant rather than focus on the preferences of the majority of their customers I’m done with HSN.

If some execs plan was to disregard all the shoppers that kept HSN profitable for decades and send them elsewhere, they are succeeding.

Yes I agree!! It is awful. It isn’t Valentine’s day.

The pink couch has to go. Have to turn the channel when it’s on. It’s just hideous.

I guess I’m in the minority…I love the pink set. It is creative and different and I love pink!
