...on QVC of all places.
Late last night, dh and I were about to watch a movie rental. He's popping the popcorn, setting up the dvd while I was signing off the computer. QVC was on, and I wondered aloud why Joan Rivers jewelry was on AGAIN. Dh distractedly looks up and asks if that's Melissa Rivers sitting next to the qvc hostess. It took a minute but I realize it is her--though she looks and sounds much different from the last time I saw her (a few years ago on their E! show).
We're just about to switch the tv over (to the setting required to view dvd's), when we hear the most bizarre thing.
QVC host--"this is a lovely pair, sure to complete your summer wardrobe" (blah, blah or something like that...)
Melissa Rivers--"...these are the perfect to wear when you want to be that little slut down by the pool."
:wow:
Dh and I turned to each other at the same time,"Did she just say...?" "...slut...by the pool?!" OMG!
Um, what aspect of Miss Rivers Hollywood lifestyle equates woman to slut? And why would anyone buy jewelry in order to be thought a 'slut'?
As confused and angry as I was that she said that, I felt even worse for the show's hostess. She looked genuinely shocked, embarassed and even said, "...well, um I wouldn't say...um....that...but uh..." and then recovered and turned her attention back to the earrings.
:wtf:
Melissa used to seem much "nicer" and more "mellow" than her mom. She never seemed to go for the juggular the way Joan did. I was sad to see her looking and sounding like a pretentious Hollywood, socialite stereotype--complete with snooty intonations, awful faux tan and teeth so white they look fake. Every other word out of her mouth was "fabulous" or "amazing." :eyes: Sorry, but women that talk like that really put me off. They seem just like the rest of the Hollywood tribe, trying to lure you in to buying their overpriced wares so you too can look just like them. (((sigh)))No thanks. Remembering the softer, mellower Melissa made me kind of sad for her.
I don't know what to make of her vile slut comment. :puke:
