The world of home shopping networks is a dynamic one, filled with personalities, product lines, and constant change. Hosts and vendors alike navigate this landscape, sometimes finding themselves on different channels, undergoing transformations, and embarking on new ventures. This article explores some recent shifts and happenings in the home shopping world, with a particular focus on Erin Moseley and the ever-present topic of weight loss.
From QVC to HSN and Beyond: A Carousel of Talent
The movement of on-air personalities between home shopping networks is a common occurrence. Recently, former QVC "queen bee" Kathy Levine resurfaced on HSN representing Nutrisystem. Her appearance sparked commentary on the pressures of television, with speculations about cosmetic procedures. Similarly, Jane Treacy, another QVC host, was noted to have possibly undergone some "work done" on her eyes.
Paul Deasy, formerly one of Evine's "Three Amigos," made the move to HSN. Deasy, along with Judy Crowell, has a history with multiple networks, including QVC and HSN. This constant movement highlights the competitive nature of the industry and the search for the right fit for both the personalities and the networks.
The Allure of Transformation: Makeovers and New Beginnings
The pressure to maintain a certain image in the world of home shopping can lead to transformations, both personal and professional. Sterling silver designer Marianna Jacobs, after a stint on Evine, joined HSN with a noticeably different look. She sported a glamorous makeover, a stark contrast to her previously casual style.
Suzanne Somers, a veteran of HSN, Evine, and QVC, made an appearance with QVC host Rick Domeier, promoting her new book. Opinions on her appearance were divided, highlighting the subjective nature of beauty and transformation.

Husband-Wife Teams: A Family Affair in Home Shopping
Erin Moseley's presence on QVC, representing the Diamonique line, brings attention to the phenomenon of husband-wife teams in the home shopping industry. Her husband is now also on-air at QVC.

Weddings and Personal Lives: Navigating the Line Between Personal and Professional
Courtney Cason, another home shopping host, faced scrutiny for sharing details about her upcoming wedding. While some find it endearing, others consider it "tacky" to overshare personal details. One former QVC host pointed out the risk of promoting a host's wedding, citing the example of Judy Crowell's short-lived marriage to a fellow host.
The Ever-Present Focus on Weight Loss
The home shopping world is no stranger to weight loss products and discussions. Mindy Grossman's departure from HSN to join Oprah Winfrey's Weight Watchers highlights the significance of this topic. The promotion of products like Nutrisystem and the subtle pressures on hosts to maintain a youthful appearance underscore the industry's focus on weight management and appearance.
Jewelry and Gems: Trends and Personalities
Beyond the personalities and transformations, the products themselves play a crucial role in the home shopping experience. Kirks Folly, known for its whimsical fairy-themed jewelry and home décor, made a return to QVC. Judy Crowell debuted her jewelry line, JOYA by Judy Crowell, on ShopHQ.
