HSN is My Dirty Little Secret
I get a lot of emails from PR representatives. When a review or giveaway is part of the plan I put it over on MommyBlog Reviews so it doesn’t get all mixed up with my personal stuff.
But this one I’m willing to do here because it gives me an excuse to talk about my most awesome dirty little secret.
Home Shopping Network *drool*
I know some of you are probably thinking HSN is only for 800 karat rings, but oh no…there is so much more. My last two computers have come from HSN, because they not only sell Gateway (I heart Gateway) but they also have the mother of all budgeting love – easy pay.
No interest, no credit card, just, “Pay it in five installments, ok?” Sure, HSN, I can handle that. Anything for you my late-night TV demon lover!
I’m 99% sure we’re going to get our next big set of cookware from HSN, because they have that Emeril stuff. We’re very anti-non-stick in this family so those stainless steel pans send my heart all a-flutter.
Now…faux crock bags. Oh yes, ooooooh yes! I just got a call from my friend who is THE fashionista and she tells me croc is so in it’s not even funny. Just because I work from home doesn’t mean my sense of style is dead, people! I love being trendy and bags always come in your size!
So join me June 27th in watching the CALLA Handbags presentation (I may live Twitter it as well)
Here is an excerpt from the press release I got that set me to drooling…
On Friday, June 27th www.BagTrends.com founder and VH1 Fashion Correspondent Pamela Pekerman is dishing on summer/early fall trends and the hottest new styles from CALLA Handbags!
On June 27th, tune into HSN or www.HSN.com, to purchase the Today’s Special CALLA Concord Satchel in croco-embossed black, rose, bronze, steel or camel material for $59.90. With gas prices hitting $5 a gallon, don’t stop shopping – shop smarter! This satchel has the look of crocodile at a fraction of the coast and is the perfect marriage of fashion and function – hello, 5 pockets and generous shoulder strap drop.
CALLA is a new diffusion line from Charm and Luck designer Jenny Syquia. Beyoncé, Lindsay Lohan and others stylish celebrities have all been spotted with Charm and Luck bags. CALLA (Charm And Luck Los Angeles) has similar style-conscious bagistas in mind but these hot handbags won’t break the bank! Retailing from $60 to $110, CALLA bags are made from high-quality, man-made leather and feature animal embossed prints.
I’m not being paid for this post. I just have a weakness for fun bags and HSN. That’s it. Hope you enjoy the presentation as much as I do, because I’m planning on grabbing some popcorn for the event.
I’m not kidding – I seriously love the way those live hosts rock the sales. If you’re looking for better networking skills and marketing panache HSN is a great tutorial. The way they talk to the callers on the phone. Sheer genius!

Yep – I’m a Joiner!
Worked from home for HSN – didn’t buy a thing, but, ohhhh, I thought about it! Easy enough to see why people get hooked, lots to love. I have way to much self-control, seriously – and I don’t think that’s always a good thing!
And, just one more reason to hate me (jk) my mom bought me Emeril cookware for Christmas a few years back. Do invest in the set, talk about hearts.
Trust me, you aren’t alone in your dirty little secret!!! I will be there with bells on for the CALLA show … I just love the hardware on those purses.
Queen Bea’s last blog post..HSN After Dark … Not Safe for Kids or Husbands!
@Paula I remember when you worked for HSN! It’s been a while tho…OMG you have the Emeril cookware? I don’t know if we can be friends anymore LMAO
@Queen Bea Love your blog, and it’s great to find a sister in HSN love! Your last post was fantastic, and I remember when Dr. 90210 was on there feeling everyone up and it was just totally creepy.
The most recent thing i saw that I remembered as being a particular marketing masterpiece was the Esteban guitars. After an hour they had me believing I needed to learn how to play the guitar and make my family the next Partridge Family!
I bought that same calla bag at TJ Max for only $25.00. It was the best purchase I’ve ever made because I can EVERYTHING into it, including everything I would normally put into my diaper bag so now I don’t have to tote two bags anymore (one for me and one for the baby) and I look fashionable at the same time. I love it!
