Our Story Models!

For every little detail I share about my life, I'm ten times more curious about yours. When I'm on air and I see thousands of products going out the door, I'm dying to know what is happening when they reach their destination. Where are you wearing the pieces? Are they making you happy? Did you get compliments from your friends? WHAT IS THE STORY?? That is why we started our "Story Model" program.

Our story models test-drive our products and serve as Hot in Hollywood ambassadors. As a story model, you will receive Hot in Hollywood products before they become available for sale. After a few weeks of wearing and falling in love with your products, you’ll be apart of one of our Hot in Hollywood shows on HSN in which you’ll call in for the products you were given and share the stories from your life that are uniquely “you”. Our story model program is a volunteer and unpaid position, but the products we send you are yours to keep and your participation on-air is something I truly look forward to.

We love our “Story Model” program because it’s given us a chance to get to know you a little better. From Samantha Fox in North Carolina who emulated a Hollywood icon in our June show to Nanci Chinen from Hawaii who test drove our gladiator sandal last month, we’ve realized that our customers, though they may be scattered across the country, do have a few things in common: they are all beautiful and fabulous! As we gear up for our biggest show of the year on November 13th, we have a new batch of story models ready to share their stories; pictured below is Diana Keller and Nanci Chinen just to name a couple.

And now we’d love to hear from you! Be a part of our upcoming story model groups so we can hear the fabulous stories you have to share. Email storymodel@thehollywoodcompany.com to apply!

3rd date! In the papers, no less!

I've always been interested in style.I am a 60 year old woman who can pass for much younger as I always wear fun and beautiful clothing. I would love to represent your clothes here in San Diego.

Hi Laurie, I was the story model for the TS gladiator sandals. I was unable to air because they sold out before I was scheduled to call in. I received the metallic and just wanted to have the opportunity to let you know that I LOVE them and went back for 2 more pairs when they aired today -(along with many other items). They were the perfect sandal for my trip to Mexico! I really enjoyed the experience even though I wasn't able to call in. Hopefully next time! Thank you so much!!

Laurie, I've been watching your shows for quite some time. I am 5'6'' and quite busty. I have sent so many clothing items back to HSN that I am tired of losing money on shipping and handling. I love your items, I just can't decide which one to purchase. I think I will try the Safari Trench! My ears perked up when you spoke with a Story Model. I would love to represent your company as one. I am a 50yr old African American who likes to strut her stuff.

Nice idea to offer advance opportunity to selected HH customers willing and able to voice honest opinions about new items added to the line. I worked the retail side of high end merchandise selection (store buyer) in the early 60's. It does not leave your dna if you really love it. All these years later, I remain eager to get first picks of accessories headed to the consumer.

The new spring collection is right on target. I have received numerous items and have several on waitlist. The quality/price is amazing. I love fashion and Laurie lets me add trendy pieces to my classics without breaking the bank. I do have many expensive pieces in my wardrobe and I'm able to add many more with my own personal stylist, Laurie. Oh, by the way, your new haircut is adorable.

I just finished giving the first customer review for your Calfornia dreamin' dress. I went back to buy a couple more and sadly my size is sold out! Will you bring this back again? The fabric is great.. The dress is soo comfortable and yet it makes you feel sexy and girly all at once. The style is great!!! Keep more dresses coming. I have never tried one of yours before, but now I will be looking for them. Any hope of a 3/4 length sleeve and this longer length coming up soon?

I am now obsessed with the HIH line. I have many items and love them all! I absolutely love the lola boots w/spats and plaid topper - SO CUTE! I would love to see more spats! I also own the brown boots with matching boyfriend sweater. I feel so well dressed these days. I wore the silver ballet wrap sweater during the holidays - LOVE IT! I am eagerly awaiting your next line and checking regularly for items that have sold out. I would love to be a story model. Thank you!

I ordered your turquoise dress that can be worn many ways and the shoes. Each time I wear them I receive many complements. I ordered the brown lepord purse and can hardly wait to receive it. I am sure it will be as great as the other items I ordered. I would like to be a story model.
