As we all know by now, power home shopping couple extraordinaire, Paul Deasy and Judy Crowell, are no longer at HSN or QVC. According to their new website, they just got back from a great trip to Italy and are working on a jewelry line and another book.
Here's what Paul had to say about both books and the new jewelry line:
And to whether it was better to work at HSN or QVC:The original quantities that were on HSN sold completely out. There will be a second printing, but for the moment I cannot sell it in the USA due to a non competition clause I still have with HSN. That will expire on November 30th. After that time, the original book and the second book will be available on this website and probably at another television shopping channel that I will choose to launch a new gemstone jewelry line.
I do have plans for silver and gold as part of my line. I would entertain gold over silver if I can find a factory that will do a minimum thickness of vermeil or better and guarantee their manufacturing process.
I am currently negotiating with a few shopping channels, but I have decided it will not be with HSN. When that decision is made, the gems would likely be offered on our website, but that depends on the shopping channel. Some do not like the same items being available for sale on the website as would be offered on their channel. I will keep you posted.
I think that he like the Q better and I'm guessing that his new collection will end up on ShopNBC ... but you never know!That is a really difficult question. As you say, Judy and I have worked at both places and have many friends in both of them. That being said, I think that there are certain things about QVC that had a better interaction with the customer than did HSN. We also enjoyed the opportunities to do more remotes and live shows with QVC. We are not sure who we will be partnering with yet, but we hope to make a decision by this summer and we will let you know when we do.

I used to watch them back when they were on QVC. Their pics from Italy are gorgeous! -Ami
ReplyDeleteTwo things:I must have bought the ONLY piece of Technibond I own during that "bad spell" because I would never try it again!! AND, Queen, I wonder if you know to which previous HSN host Chris Scanlon was married? She made a passing remark about it during some anniversary show and said there would be clips of them...I missed it. Just wondering! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteSorry about the bad Technibond. My friend--who only wears yellow gold, no white metals--has had good luck with it. Solid gold pieces are just too expensive these days!
ReplyDeleteAre you thinking of Alan Skantze?
Nope, Alan is still there, and this was a former host. She said the marriage was very brief(!) and had a laugh about it. Anyway, I missed the show, and just wondered if you were around as long as I have been! I had one host in mind, but can't remember his name. So there you have it. A mystery.
ReplyDeletei TUNED IN TO qvc LAST NIGHT AFTER A LONG ABSENCE AND WAS SO SURPRISED AT mARY bETH rOWE, ALMOST DIDN'T RECOZNIZE HER, NEW HAIRDO AND WHAT LOOKED LIKE ABOUT 30 NEW POUNDS. WAS IT JUST THE OUTFIT OR MY TV. lEAH LOOKED THE SAME. THEY ARE BOTH SUCH PRETTY LADIES WHAT'S THE DEAL, MAYBE I JUST NEED GLASSES
ReplyDeleteChris Scanlon was married briefly to Alan Skantze. I remember one night when I was listening to HSN and someone called in and made a bad remark about Alan/Chris when Alan was on; he just ignored it; they did not bleep it in time! I also remember when Judy Crowell was married briefly to Jeff Heuson (spelling?) when they were both on QVC. I don't know whatever happened to Jeff; never saw him after that! He was really good looking and a good show host!
ReplyDeletedid chris scanlon get divorced recently, and then remarry? i think she must have put on at least 50 pounds!!!!! whats up with that???
ReplyDeleteI would really like the truth as to why Paul and
ReplyDeleteJudy left HSN. My thoughts on that is Ms. Coleen
Lopez didn't want any attention taken off her,
let's face it, I would rather listen to Judy than her any day. When Coleen is on, I never watch it for one minute. She cut her hair, then lost weight, and now she thinks she is HOT STUFF. I have never seen her standing so much before. Like I said, I couldn't take her anymore. Coleen was my sister's favorite but she too want watch her anymore. If I can't get to the remote to change the channel when she is on, I hurriedly MUTE It.
where are judy and paul now Are they on any shopping channels. We keep looking for them, but cant find them. Saw judy last year on shopnbc, but not since then. Miss them
ReplyDeletePaul is in ShopNBC & Judy in JTV
DeleteBoth Paul & Judy have some really beautiful jewelry items...
DeleteI love Mary Beth and what the prior person said about her WEIGHT! that is so MEAN I love people for whom they are and look a lot deeper there is an old saying WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND SO GET READY My sister is so credical of people also and drives me NUTS! God is watching us and we all will answer to him some day!!! The main thing is being clean soap and water is CHEAP!!!!!
ReplyDeletePaul Deasey is on ShopNBC, I just bought an Alexandrite and White Zircon ring from his line for my mother for Christmas. Judy is on JTV, I think she has a new jewelry line or some type of gold similar to Technibond.
ReplyDeleteI must say I saw Mary Beth yesterday and she does look like she has aged. I just find that funny since she unashamedly hawks Perricone's overpriced "cosmeceuticals" and it doesn't look like they're working. Time to buy a Lightstim!!!!!!!!!!1
I feel as the other HSN viewer. I simply cannot stand Colleen. I wish she would just go far far away.
ReplyDeleteColleen Lopez on hsn is wonderful. She is so
ReplyDeletepretty to me. She should be commended. She is
a large frame woman and has been able to keep
her weight down and always look fabulous in
her clothes. She has done a great job on hsn
and raised her two boys well along with her
husbnd Carlos who adores her. I say, "keep up
the good work Colleen." pronounced Ka -lene.
Judy Crowell is not pretty at all and I wonder
ReplyDeletewhat in the heck Paul Deasy sees in her.
Sometimes the way the camera catches her she
looks rough. Not pretty at all. He is not
bad looking. The say the most unattractive
women get the best looking men.
jealous
DeleteJudy is great and charming..
DeleteI love her and Paul
Marybeth is beautiful on the inside and on
ReplyDeletethe outside. She is a good Christian lady;
Her life is so full with her children and
her wonderful husband. God blesses those
who follow him. (marybeth rowe on Qvc.)
Chris Scanlon was NEVER married to alan
ReplyDeleteSkantz. She was married and he is the father
of her two children. She was divorced and
remarried about 3 years ago.
Colleen lopez could sell snow to eskimos. I am aleutien & bought a load.
ReplyDeletewell I'm glad to see where everybody is I was wondering myself where Chris went as far as Colleen! She used to be such a down to earth person I watch to all the time, I have to agree I think she got very obnoxious.things too much of a self now just not that down to earth woman when she was on with Suzanne Somers. Obnoxious
DeleteDoes anyone know what Shawn killinger husband does for a living ?
ReplyDeletesounds like a lot of people become too involved with the host and they are only there for the job! it is as pay check,people.they don;t plan on making friends with the people that listen to them. they don't care if you spend your last dime(your grocery money) for their products as long as you do it while they are the ones selling.Harsh but TRUE and I know because I learned the hard way! BROKE now with a lot of stuff don;t need but no car,no house.Lot of pretties though=Some how I thought they would change my life but when I got them home-pretty but did not make my life any better just worse!
ReplyDeleteHe isn't the first to bring or sell Sonoran blue turquoise. It been on the market for a year from other gem hunters and theirs isn't reconstituted powder
