Frau Paradise or Gay Hangout?

May 2024 · 5 minute read

I think QVC is the only place where Fraus and gays live in harmony. What do you think? Everything is perfect on this channel.

I, a gay, connect with my favorite frau, Lucinda Scala Quinn, at QVC. She hosts my favorite cooking show, @madhungry on Instagram.

I have one of those orange Spurtles shown above. My mother is obsessed with QVC.

When I was in high school I begged her to use her credit card to buy a digital camera from HSN. I'd saved up to buy it and it was the best deal, and she acted like I wanted her to co-sign for a car. She was totally against buying anything with a credit card, let alone online or on tv.

Several years later she got in a bad car accident and while recuperating for a month on Percocet she got addicted to QVC. It has not stopped. She didn't get addicted to Percocet, just QVC.

QVC ain't for me. I don't see how it's a gay hangout. The only thing I like are the fake penthouse sets. I'll take one on EZ pay.

R3. A lot of gays are on there selling to Fraus. It's perfect.

My mother says Martha's stuff gets really bad reviews on the QVC website. She bought me this and I do love it. It's a tote that holds like 1000 pounds.

r1 I used to love her cooking show on Hallmark (back when Martha had her show there.)

They always make men test out the ladders they sell. Sexist Fraus!

I don't know how QVC has changed, but they were really not Gay friendly. I actually was approached to be a host for a segment. Basically, I was told that I could not be openly Gay and that I should wear a wedding ring. I could always say I was a widower. Between that and having to live in Florida, I declined the offer. I should note that I was to be a QVC host. I am sure the rules are different for Issac Mizrahi and others.

QVC is outside Philadelphia. Is it HSN that is in Florida?

R13 FF. Hsn is in Florida. David venable is very gay. He'll never come out because old house Fraus love him and secretly want his tubby body. He's a well-known DLer and trolls here frequently.

Why would anyone want to watch a channel that’s all commercials?

R16, Maybe it was HSN then. It was 20 years ago. I was approached by two networks. One was in Florida, the other was in NYC, but didn't last long- if it ever got off the ground.

Does Lucinda ever have her two cute sons on anymore?

QVC is located 7 miles from my house.

Calder is on occasionally. He's her business partner in Mad Hungry. But she does 99% of the stories herself.

I don’t watch QVC but I buy Josie Maran from their site - Much better pricing than Ulta or Josie’s own site - I’m addicted to her Argan Oil, Milk Products and Divine Drip Sleeping Nectar

David Venable... I always think of him as one of those people who made a deal with the devil. He'll pretty much stay in the closet while on-air, play the role (which screams a version of "minstralsy" to me) of the happy, tubby, southern boy in order to earn a dollar.

At home he's probably comfortable with being out to one and all, but honestly, I think he's eating way through all of the on-air acting he has to do.

He once had a rockin' body... but now he's over-tanned, with a shelacked head of poorly hair and he's just plain old fat.

I wish he'd go away for six months and get himself re-oriented, return then to QVC. It will never happen, but I think he'd be happier in the long run.

R13, when was this, because there's no way the old ladies watching the Beekman Boys on HSN and QVC are thinking they simply haven't found the right girls.

R17, because some of their deals are even better than Amazon and other retailers. I ordered a Dyson fan for a better price than what I was seeing everywhere else.

I like the low rent gem channel

R24, it was in the 90s or very early 2000s. Again, the Beekman Boys, like Issac Mizrahi, are celebrities. The rules would be different for them as opposed to a HSN employee. My experience was with HSN, but David Venable is a QVC employee who started about the same time as my experience. It sounds as if he started under the same terms.
