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.

Good Morning Peeps and welcome to the HSN Community. 😎🎈
Enjoy your shopping.
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.
Posted in Forum: Talk Among YourselvesI don’t know what HSN was thinking when they decorated the studio for Christmas, because it doesn’t look like Christmas at all. It’s not a warm inviting feeling it seems very cold. The colors are horrible and not Christmasy at all, very disappointed.
I am not a fan of the food they sell on HSN anyway they have horrible food shows the quality is not there. QVC has much better-quality food but I don’t purchase from them either but if I were going to purchase any food from any home network it would only be QVC.

I just want to send a shout out to HSN for such Rock Star Deliveries.
Well done and way sooner than I expected. 💕😎🎈
Happy Holidays to all the hard workers at HSN. 🎈😎
I think HSN is just hard up for hosts. I do notice that Tina is an arm waver (so was Helen Keaney) – but Brynn has her beat by a mile. A couple months ago, Bryan almost took Doris Dalton out with her arms. Poor Doris had to step back and she actually looked worried, which means those claw hands and long arms were a lot closer than they appeared. I had hoped Brynn would relax her hands so they weren’t looking like literal claws when she is doing the Vanna White impression. She has not. And Jasmine is doing the Vanna impression too. She is a parody. Someone said she reminds them of a SNL skit about Shopping networks. That was so spot on. Not a good look for an Emmy winning newscaster.
Rebekah is so good. I knew she would be. She was a great vendor for Origami and whatever else they needed her for. For a minute, I thought she was going to drink the host parody kool-aid, but she brought herself back from the abyss.
Clarke has improved tenfold. These new hosts need to remember the cardinal rule of presenting. DON’T MESS WITH YOUR HAIR ON CAMERA!!!!
I haven’t seen Sarah Timm present lately. I just don’t watch HSN anymore unless there’s nothing else on or I’m checking on a presentation of something I wanted to see or a host I like.
These days, the hosts I like list keeps getting shorter. Bobbi, Adam, Tina, Rebekah, Clarke, Callie, Lesley Ann, Ty and Siaoming if they are presenting by themselves.
Posted in Forum: Talk Among YourselvesWHAT A HASSLE THAT WE NEED TO HANDLE THIS RECALL ON OUR OWN WITH NO HELP FROM HSN AND NO REFUND FROM HSN. WITH ALL THIS HASSLE WITH GETTING A REFUND FROM A CHINESE COMPANY I FEEL THAT HSN SHOULD AT LEAST REFUND THE SHIPPING THEY TOOK AS WELL AS THE TAX THEY CHARGED US. HOW MUCH DID HSN MAKE FROM THIS RECALL ANYWAY. HSN I WANT MY REFUND FOR SHIPPING AND TAX PLEASE!!!!!!!!!
I hear you. I do not watch hsn if Emily is presenting or I will go on mute. I too like ty but Emily is unwatchable. She just does not appear comfortable in anything she does. I just don’t understand how HSN is not seeing what we as the viewer sees. Right now I just turned on HSN and see Tina presenting curtis Stone and hands/arms all over the plce. I have never seen anyone who cannot speak without using her hands No joke. Anyone else notice this or just me
I also miss the old HSN models, the studio everything the way it used to be was much better. Miss Amy, and Michelle Yarn. I’m thankful for the few that did stay like Debbie, Adam, Callie, Susan, Bobbie, and Sarah, however Sarah is not Amy. Beauty Report is Amy. I’m glad to see Lesly back, but honestly can’t stand Emily Lampa nor do I care for most of the new hosts.
Good day Peeps and welcome to the HSN Community. 😎
Enjoy your shopping.
