I just got the email from HO that VIP will no longer be a vendor...keep an eye out for big deals!

I think I'm excited at the prospect of more variety and lower prices, but I'm afraid the new place will be worse! I guess we'll see soon enough (or NOT soon enough since they're not unveiling the new vendor til conference, but I'm in Wave 1, so I'll see it FIRST!!!)
 
Well, I'm on there trying to buy some stuff and the site is RUNNING SOOOO SLOW............. Come on guys, get off so I can finish my order!!!:D
 
YEAH!!!! I think that we really need a new vendor!!! Be positive the new vendor is going to be GREAT!!! I'm in wavw one also. It is exciting just to know that we will be some of the first to see everything!!!

I guess that answers the rumor that was posted earlier about VIP going bye-bye! I'm not too disappointed......
I will check out the sales though!
 
Yeah I'm excited as well. The deals aren't all that great but I'll take a discount. THe ribbon tote that a lot of you were buying, well it was $25, now $15!! I'm buying it now!!! If the darn site would work.:rolleyes:
 
I just got the email too.
I want some clothing!!!!

WHAT?! I've been trying to get on it for like 15 minutes and it's still tick tocking...I have been hemming and hawing about the tote. Funny, we must've all gotten the email and gone straight there!
 
I know, I can't! I have Dsl and its running like I have dial up! I guess I'll have to wait a bit!:(
 
I think everyone is bombarding the site for deals
 
Oh man, now I REALLY am kicking myself for not getting my tax stuff done already!

Sad to see them go, but it won't phase me much. My husband has a garment business and he makes me really nice embroidered blouses identical to the ones in VIP.
 
I am on but the markdowns aren't that great! I will wait it out since there is nothing I HAVE to have...
 
It is taking forever,,,,,tapping fingers.
This is rediculous, what do people think they are going to sell out!?!
They have until JUNE!

Stupid 30 second rule:mad: :mad:
 
GRRR I want to see!!!!! I want a new HWC shirt!
 
I CAN'T GET ON :mad:
 
The HWC isn't on sale...same prices for that stuff!

Maybe if I bring my PC beach stuff to the grocery store in my bikini (complete with baby bump!) I would get some attention! How many people would invite me to their homes for a cooking show is another story...

I Could Just Imagine!!!!! OMG!!!!:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:
 
It would be an eye catcher to say the least, maybe not the best eyes though, lol.
 
I can only imagine myself.
