Today's Blue Plate Specials ... Charm and Luck on the Cheap

HSN has the new--"more affordable"--version of the Charm and Luck bags, Calla, as their TS. Love, love, love the croc look and the rockin' hardware (Queen Bea is not one for small, mealy-mouse purses!).

For only $59, I think the Calla Croco-Embossed Patent Satchel with Studs (wouldn't Lisa Mason at the Q love to get to talk about studs all day!) is a great way to get a super trendy bag without resorting to selling your plasma or hawking your husband's old baseball card collection down at the pawn shop.

Pamela Pekerman over at the My Bag-a-licious Life blog--who is presenting the TS--has been testing out the bag for weeks and gives it raves--especially the steel color. She thought the price was going to be dropped to $49, but it doesn't look like that's gonna happen. Oh well.

ShopNBC has the Creative Vado Pocket Video Cam Package as their OTV. I'm never very good at reviewing the electronics, but this looks like it would be great for vacations and video bloggers. It's small and you plug it straight into the computer to upload. It only has 2x zoom though, which stinks. Queen Bea loves to zoom!

QVC has the long-awaited Judith Ripka Sterling Gemstone & Diamonique Auto-Delivery as their TSV. I talk about this set here and I have links to the new items here.

I also show some pictures of her new high-end Basket Weave Collection here. Hopefully Judith will be doing a QVC version of that soon! Queen Bea really needs that huge, lab-created yellow sapphire ring ... *sigh*

Hot off the Press! Judith Ripka TSV

Judith Ripka Sterling Gemstone & Diamonique Auto-Delivery

QVC Price: $108.00 (not TSV price)

The price is per enhancer, not for all three.

Item# J38823

You get one enhancer now and one every 90 days.

1st: cross
2nd: heart
3rd: key (of course! it's the best one!)

I love Judith Ripka ... I just don't care for all the hearts, so I'll be taking a pass on this one.

Blue Plate Special Daily Round Up ... It's EVIL PAY DAY!!!

Woot! Woot! I loooooooooooooove 5 Evil Pay Day! I know that it's not really a sale, but it feels like a sale. What can I say, I'm a sucker. I have no idea what I'm going to get. Ugh! I always do this. I always crack under the pressure. I just know that they are going to present something tomorrow and I'm just going to kick myself for not thinking to get it today. Pressure ... pressure ... I'm like a Cook's Essentials pressure cooker!

The official QVC TSV is a 3-piece Supersmile kit ... but who cares? I mean really, it's evil pay day, chickadess! However, along with the Supersmile, there's a page full of other auto-delivery (AD) items that you can order and lock in the 5 evil pays--Dr. Denese, BE, Philosophy, Ojon. So if you need to stock up, now's the time.

Queen Bea needs to sit down and elevate her feet and try to get some air.

HSN has this hideous excuse for a Technibond ring as their TS. I like Techinbond, I really do. Gold is like $1000 per troy ounce or something ridiculously high like that, so buying solid gold jewelry is an investment (like the ShopNBC OTV today).

I like Technibond best when it's just big, bold gold, like omegas and cuffs. I do not like ugly, drill-bit diamond, and nasty gemstones that belong in the bottom of a fish tank--not to mention the overall hideousness of the design. Yuck. Sorry, but this is bad.

BTW, did you read what Paul Deasy had to say about Technibond now that he's no longer under HSN's thumb? Check it out here.

ShopNBC has this beautiful and very expensive ruby necklace. This is niiiiiiiiiiiiiice, but not gonna happen ... I just can't justify $1500 for a necklace. but don't those rubies just look juicy?

Don't forget free shipping on the All Stars products!

BTW, they are now offering a big selection of fragrances ... even Sarah Jessica Parker's Lovely. She's just not loyal to HSN at all. What was I thinking? She won't even show up to sell her own products
