Caution Discovers and is Hurt by QVC
The number of times I have watched QVC: 3
The number of times I have purposely watched QVC: 0
The number of times I have laughed at the multiple QVC boxes entering a neighbor's house: ... let's go to the next question, shall we.
Last night I was tired. I was distressed at a coworker's struggles. I was alone in bed lying smack dab in the middle, right on the spot not yet compressed by our Weight Watcher candidates bodies. And I was indeed watching QVC.
Then I saw something beautiful. Something compelling. Something I loved, needed, wanted.
I saw a bra.
Not just a Walmart special, but a bra. How it captivated my heart and imagination is a mystery. I don't really like bras. I don't like the way the words sounds. I don't like that my day is incomplete without one, and I am not overjoyed with the products housed in my own bras currently.
But this bra was gorgeous. The skinny QVC lady said it would make me comfortable, sexy, cool, and uplifted. I would look great in plunging necklines, high necklines, and no necklines. Even though I wasn't sure what she was talking about half the time, I knew I had to have one.
So first thing this morning, I logged on to QVC, expecting my bra to be front and center. Who could have guessed that QVC has 129 different bras for sale?
But I am a good researcher and I found it. The one.
And I tried to purchase it in rose only to discover that it is sold out in my size and 9 other sizes.
I then opted for it in nude only to discover that it is sold out in my size and 16 other sizes.
Fine, I can adapt. I decided to get it in black. You got it right: sold out not only in my size, but 24 other sizes, as well!
So here I sit: uncomfortable, unsexy, uncool, and un-uplifted (I cannot bear to use the right word for that last one.)
You're killing me, QVC! Absolutely killing me.
