Adrienne Arpel

She can make ANY woman good looking in 3 weeks.

Remember at Macy’s when they used to have her counter with those black and white pictures of herself??

They were like this.

A positively hypnotic hairstyle.

Hunny, I used to do make up for photo shoots back in the day...about 30 yrs ago, and sometimes I used to love to watch Adrienne on HSN with her before and after shit as she made up her girls. (60 yr olds and beyond! ). Anyway, she was fun to watch. Definitely over the top with her vitamin capsules. her make up was too heavy. Like spackling.

I want some of her stuff, but it’s a little expensive.

But R6 HSN has Flex Pay options.

God, there was something so mesmerizing about her. It was like I couldn't turn it off.

How old is this bitch? She has to be in her mid 70s by now ?

I will always be loyal to Marilyn Miglin

Adrienne Arpel will 78 on the 15th of July. She was born in 1941.

You do remember that Marilyn Miglins' husband was an "innocent" victim of Andrew Cunanan.

I believe he was taped up S&M style.

Adrienne's make up is perfect for stage.

Better than Adrienne Arpel?

Merle Norman

Adrienne sounds like Barbara Walters. Her segment starts around the 2:40 mark.

Who the fuck is this??!

She had this wonderful pearlizing liquid, I think it was called "crushed pearls". Would love to buy it today.

Anyone remember the Anchorwoman BLUE (yes I said blue) under eye concealer/corrector?

Apparently she spells her name "Adrien" Arpel, not Adrienne.

Now that she only goes by one name on HSN (and for some reason dropped Arpel), she has changed the spelling of her first name to the traditional 'Adrienne.'

From the early '80s to the late '90s, her company also made/distributed the Robert Piguet perfumes (Fracas, Bandit, etc.).

'Adrien' (the person) sold 'Adrien Arpel' (the company) back in the late 60s. She stayed on as CEO. When Adrien took Adrien Arpel to HSN, it did far better than anyone expected, and Adrien wanted a higher payout from Adrien Arpel. They refused, so she started a new brand, 'Signature Club A' to sell on HSN, but had no legal claims to the name Adrien Arpel, and thus goes by 'Adrienne'. Dimitri James, who sells another HSN line, 'SKINN', worked for Adrien Arpel previously; he has similar mannerisms and language to Adrienne in his sales presentations.

Speaking of Merle Norman, if you're in LA, the Nethercutt Museum in Sylmar, which was started by the Merle Norman family, is fabulous. Amazing, beautifully restored automobiles, and an incredible collection of mechanical musical instruments--including a mighty Wurlitzer! (And there's Merle Norman store right next door!)

Bump by request.

Man that woman is hot.

We love Adrienne! Especially when shes teamed up with Shannon Smith. Anchorwoman Blue all the way!

I would love to know her HSN schedule.

I bet she’s even prettier WITHOUT makeup ! !

Notice how at the [bold]4:40 mark [/bold]HERE, she doesn’t even notice she’s applied a huge swath of the wrong color foundation to just one side of the model’s face. [italic]Honey badger don’t give a shit![/italic]

(The compact she’s working with contains 2 shades - she’s picked up some of the wrong one on the edge of her sponge.)

When she applies makeup she just puts it on there like she’s putting it on a mannequin.

I used to buy some of her stuff.

As long as she's not the one applying it, it may be okay?

I've learned a lot about makeup application this year from following all the Tati/James Charles drama. Arpel simply CANNOT SEE, or her looong nails get in the way ... but in any event, she cannot blend a product to save her life.

It's kind of embarrasing.

I remember her...

R28 You can view the HSN schedule if you download the app.

Adrienne will be back on Labor Day weekend. No doubt she will have the lowest prices ever because of the holiday. She will have only a limited amount of stock however, as she will tell you she cannot afford to sell any more at these insane prices or she will go out of business. But she wants to do something very special for her girls as a gift to them for the very important makeup holiday of Labor Day.

The price just dropped 6 million on our future DL commune.

I call dibs on the #12 bedroom and the bathroom at #14. The rest of you whores can fight over who gets the factices in my bathroom (unless there's one of AdriEssence, then it's mine) and who's sleeping under the ceiling-high trompe l'oeil meadow.

Adrien et fille employ a fluffy bow and shoulder pads atop shoulder pads to correct a woman with "no shoulders."

Adrien et fille employ shoulder pads, stiletto heels, and a peplum atop an elastic belt to correct a woman with "no hips, no tushie."

[quote]Another good point for a person without no hips is a peplum.

Did her listing agent ever write for The Tig?

[quote]Adrien Arpel is the name that is firmly attached to the pioneering entrepreneur of a revered skin care industry, and a cosmetic brand that combines the treasures of nature with advanced scientific breakthroughs. The Arpel line has been familiar to women for many years and her anti-aging creams and lotions aren't just a sales guarantee in the merchandise list, it is a product guarantee - just as her home in coveted Southampton is an endorsement of her meticulous eye to detail.

[quote]This home on fabled Meadow Lane has other iconic names as neighbors including residents such as David Koch and Leon Black and many other recognizable individuals. Currently however, present owner Ms. Arpel still works full time and travels extensively via private jet with a 30-pound English Blue feline.

And if all of that (and the omission of its proximity to Southampton's helipad) doesn't sell it, Adrien will just guilt you into buying...

[quote]"I raised my daughter here and my grandchildren came every weekend during the season from June through September. I installed new tennis courts and a pool, but no one has used them, or the home. It no longer makes sense to have all of these wonderful and new amenities with no one using them. The house requires special ownership to treasure it as we have," explained the ebullient Ms. Arpel.

Who?

R35 thank you so much for letting me know Ms. Arpel's Labor Day schedule. I've got my calendar marked!! I hope I can get in on the deals before the stock runs out.

That house is awful.

In the mid 90s, a roommate and I in the West Village spent every Adrien weekend watching her peddle that shit while we were doing bong hits. When she goes off the rails with something really inappropriate, the bong hits really make it special.

She used to sell a product called Camouflage. She now calls it Kaleidoscope. There are two. One is a blusher, the other bronzer. She pushes it by saying, 'Just brush on all the colors. You can't make a mistake.' And, of course, this is the 'perfect make-up' for (fill in the blank.)

They took a caller who explained that she loved Camouflage and because of Camouflage she could finally wear make up and feel beautiful. Other make up she could not use... because she was blind. Adrien jumped on that. Jumped. "That's right! With Camouflage, you can't make a mistake. It's the perfect make-up for the non-sighted."

We would have laughed endlessly even without the pot. It was unforgettable. What a vulgar little woman, our Adrien.

[quote]What a vulgar little woman, our Adrien.

Vulgar, schmulgar. At least my face is still tight.

I found this on someone's blog - - pretty much sums it up for me.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[quote] I don't know what it is about Adrienne, but whenever she's on HSN, I am completely hypnotized by her. I love the way she sweeps her bangs out of her face and leans in towards the camera when she's getting serious about educating you on the finer points of argon oil or hyaluronic acid.

[quote]I love how she smears lotions, potions, and makeup all over the models' faces without much regard for how much she's using or where it ultimately ends up (the demonstrations with the multi-colored concealers are by far my favorite part of the Adrienne show). The models Adrienne uses appear to be clean-faced before she starts slapping on her various face paints (and I do mean slap, Adrienne is not know for her gentle touch!)

[quote]I love her big jewelry, her pulled face, and her pouty fish lips. I've never tried any of her products, but I'm always tempted

I can't take my eyes off the screen when she's on.

That's Nora Dunn and Jan Hooks, r15.....

she is 77 yrs old. gross old hag. ughhhhhhhhhh

her and Marilyn miglin should go on the road together: War Paint.....theyr two old broads who know how to sell shit stuff.....gak

Without Adrienne, there would be no Felicia Gallant!

Her husband died in that home R36. I believe in the bath at #14. Or was it the bedroom at #12?

Adrien is a Trumpette. She hosted a Christmas luncheon at Mar-A-Lago for the group last year or the year before.

That’s okay, r51. Ronnie’s ghost threw on a chartreuse dinner jacket and matching loafers and flew off to Mar-a-Lago before the body was even cold.

I feel confident in saying I won’t be sharing a bed or a tub with him.

I see that Kathy Levine was on HSN selling Nutrisystem earlier this year. I’d love to see her and AA shilling together.

I wish Lauren Hutton, Suzanne Somers, Isaac, and Iris Apfel would return.

But especially Lauren.

Iris Apfel is awful.

Lauren Hutton actually came up with a quick, simple makeup line for women - and UNLIKE ARPEL, she knew how to apply it!

I didn’t know she did HSN etc. I’ll have to investigate!

Adrienne is a crazy old bitch !!!!!! without wig and makeup she look like granny clampett

Is it too late for Anjelica Huston to do [italic]Half Off: The Adrien Arpel Story[/italic]

Only on Lifetime

R8. yes, she hypnotized you, sucked you into the tv and then stole your soul. HSN was my white trash guilty pleasure.

The way she manhandles some of the models is always entertaining.

all on the show are scared of and cant stand her...….bossy old woman

I've no doubt she's a Faye Dunaway wannabe, but that's much of the fun.

Nonsense, R64. If my gals are so scared, why do socialize with me?

Here we are three sheets to the wind last Friday night after the launch of the Imperial Baobab Eyelid Glue Stick; the first of its kind, the only one in the world, discovered by ME on the forbidden banks of the Zambezi River — known as the African Fountain of Youth — where 98-year-old women sleep with their faces wrapped in Imperial Baobab-soaked bandages and get carded even more frequently than 98-year-old Dataloungers. It’s true!

staff says she tapes up her old face with duct tape fore the show to pull up her granny droop.

Absolutely, R67. I would love to peel back her wig and see what she's got under there holding up everything from her shoulders to her brow.

Stop it she uses Cool Tight and Tense Up it's the perfect combination. She added double the tighteners for the neck.

But in all seriousness even though it appears she has has had help with her face via surgical means, her neck and declotee area are astounding for a woman her age.

[quote] declotee area

Uh oh.

like Dietrich, fish hooks pull her neck and face back, tuff old broad

She dyes even her nose hairs.

What??

Adrienne is FINALLY back on HSN Friday and Saturday after a long summer of searching the world for new ingredients. Her first show airs today at 7 AM. Be there for the craziest most insane bargains ever offered, as a special thank you to her girls only for the iconic Labor Day holiday. All discounted items will be available in limited amounts only, as Adrienne cannot afford to put herself out of business by selling too many at these prices.

SHE IS THE GROSSEST OF THE GROSS !!!

SUPER FUG!!

MONSTROUS AND OLD !!

It's okay to be old. We all have grandmothers we love.

It's being weirdly aggresive and composed entirely of builshit that's her problem.

Adrienne was on all day today and will be on again in a featured spot at 10 pm and then again at 1 am for the full hour!

ON LIVE NOW ON HSN!!!

Let's see if she can top this morning's performance (in bright yellow snakeskin) in which she tried to sell a product on Dorian's back but caught herself.

Paraphrasing...

"You should apply the dream morning and night, but not the capsules. The capsules LAST. The [miracle ingredient] is retained by your skin for days. It will stay in your skin through menopausal hot flashes and it will even stay in your skin through the hu.... It will stay in your skin through a huge rainstorm!"

She just insisted that her new LED lights product contained "little tiny pulverized micrometeorites" to echo LED lighting technology. She then claimed that she recently had every single light in her home changed to LED because of how much better it makes one look than traditional light bulbs (even though the exact opposite of that is true).

Now that a direct hit and its ensuing death and destruction seem less likely, she was open about her capsules remaining "glued" within the wrinkles through Dorian.

I was hoping she'd say she figured out a way to encapsulate actual LED lighting within rapid-transit QuSomes™ which burrow straight down to the hypodermis and explode, shooting lit LED MicroShrapnel™ back up to the surface.

She is saving the MicroShrapnel introduction as the latest ingredient added to the 5 Essentials cream as it has not been updated since 2014 and is due for an amazing new cosmeceutical discovery.

On now for last show of the visit! Everything will be crazily priced as a result. Do not miss out and be one of the many who call Adrienne on her cell phone tomorrow asking for these deals, once it's gone it's gone and she just doesn't have any more.

DISCO FACE!
