doodle, you made me curious, so I checked out the website myself.

They have pictures from a "Quacker Cruise".

There's not a single person under 200lbs. All in Quacker Factory attire. You've been warned.

There's nothing funnier than watching Adrienne Arpel strong-arm her product on the terrified faces of middle aged models. Right at the end, as they're about to show the before and after photos, she slaps their faces to get the blood to rush to the surface of their skin. You can actually see the models wince right before she starts the slap-a-thon.

I watch Arpel instead of SNL, and it's much more amusing. And if that voice of hers is what she uses post vocal coach, what did she sound like before!?!

Words escape me (after looking at those photos). What's with the stupid headband? It reminds me of Carrie Vincent (snotty judge on a lot of food competitions on the Food Network), who seems to have one permanently attached to her head.

Adrienne Arpel is a skank. Her voice and face that doesn't move just makes me cringe.

doodle, as long as you still have your curlers in, it will be completely appropriate for public events. Just be sure to take lots of pictures and post them publically online!

Adrienne Arpel cracks me up. I must admit I get hooked into watching her promos. I agree she does always slap and pinch the models faces to perk them up for the afters. I love it.

But someone who has not been mentioned is DR. ANDREW LESSMAN! I am SO HOT for that man. Does anyone else feel the same. I am not sure if he hawks his vitamins on HSN or QVC, but I love him. I hope he is "family."

Can I get a witness?

Speaking of QVC:

About a year ago I had an interview lined up with Rick Domeier. You may know that he had a budding acting career and was featured in the EVIL DEAD 2 movie.

The idea was for Rick and his wife to come to NYC and I'd interview him over dinner. Then we'd see EVIL DEAD: THE MUSICAL and I'd bring the Domeiers backstage afterwards to meet the cast. I thought it had the makings of a good article; especially since Rick gave up an acting career to hawk fake diamonds on a shopping network.

I pulled the plug on the project when QVC wanted a list of all the questions I'd ask Rick so they could "study and approve" them prior to the interview. Sorry, I don't work that way. I have the policy of sending my articles to the person I've interviewed for his or her approval before they go on-line here at BWW. There was no need for QVC to "study and approve" anything beforehand. I also felt sticking to their list of approved questions would interrupt the flow of the conversation that I base my articles on. Many times a thought will occur to me while I'm talking to the interviewee and I'll use it in the course of the conversation.

Although the project fell apart, Rick and I developed some sort of friendship and we call each other from time-to-time. He's not only good-looking, but he's a very nice guy.

This is so funny cause I watching HSN now. I am so addicted to this show..I don't ever order anything, I just love to watch how people get sucked in to buy things that are not always necessary. HSN's new guy Adam Freeman is so hot and has that hot British Accent...yummm...which is also funny, I just got SELLEVISION and tells the ins and outs and mistakes and pros of Home Shopping informercials.

Dr. Theatre, my sister is one of those suckers. It's a running joke in the family now. When she goes on and on about a particular product, I tell her she sounds just like the people hawking those products.
