I nearly threw up reading today's QGossip email. I usually just sweep down them for anything of interest (rare) and delete. But today, my eye was drawn to some photos of Disney novelty handbags by Danielle Nicole (I know Vienna on here is a huge fan!) so I stopped to peruse. Imagine my joy at reading about certain presenters' love of Disney characters and how they identify with them. For those of you who are not fortunate enough to have received the email, here are the excerpts:
Jill Franks is all about Tinkerbell
JF: Peter Pan is one of my favourite Disney films and Tinkerbell is so brilliantly mischievous, funny and rather fabulous. I was lucky enough to see her fly from the magic castle into Disney land! I adore this bag as it sums up Tinks’ expression. It’s too cute an accessory not to have, what’s there not to love?!
Do you really want a list of "what's not to love", Jill? (That's my comment, not QVC's!)
Debbie Flint found her role model in Cinderella
DF: Cinderella was my first great heroine, from not only the Disney film, but also the Ladybird book of my childhood where she had three changes of dress in their story, each successive night’s costume more elaborate than the last. Aged about 8, I took it to heart as a metaphor for my life – never accepting that the fairytale might come not true and would happen in the end. Trouble is, no Prince Charming yet. It’s clearly not the end!
And meanwhile you're having fun writing your own X-rated Cinderella stories, eh Debs, complete with strapping, thrusting Prince Charming, in between sweeping up the cinders in the grate at the Devon Retweet. (Me again.)
Catherine Huntley's real-life Cinderella story
CH: I’ve always loved Cinderella. The story of how I became a presenter on QVC is one that I call my ‘Cinderella’ story so it has an association for me which is that much more special these days. I feel like I’m at the ball and I never want midnight to come around! The great thing about this bag is there’s enough room for my lipgloss and phone. I’d love to take this one to the ball!
I have no comment.
If you are not into Disney character handbags, there's always the Star Wars coffret of fragrance or shower gels. Don't all rush at once.
