HSN has more to gain then loose here. One of these times they just might hit on a real jack pot and it will make all their efforts pay off and pay off well. It would only take one huge hit. After all, when they first called for casings they called the show Mom Inc, I don't think they had received too many diverse inventions but now with Homemade Millionaire and on OWN, I really feel it will pick up speed quickly and we'll see some good, unique inventions coming to life. I'm sure there will be a season 2. It won't be as costly as season 1, even for Milojo. They even have quite a few women waiting with contracts. Most of the expense will be air time. I have a feeling Oprah will want this show.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4585401977071096521.post-53093999201261385372010-12-27T15:27:30.664-05:002010-12-27T15:27:30.664-05:00Melamine or not... she almost sold out!

I'm sorry I VERY MUCH wanted to support these women and their inventions but I'm just not agreeing with most of the winning ideas and I doubt they will be big money makers for HSN. That's just my take and I could be dead wrong. But, if I'm not wrong, that makes me think HSN will beg out of another season.

Being on...OK, a couple more questions from Tracy:<br /><br /><br />Being on a national TV show with YOUR invention is a dream come true...an experience of validation that all inventors strive for...How does knowing Klipzon, YOUR idea, YOUR dream, YOUR hard work is now getting all of this attention?<br /><br />It is really awesome to think that while we were just visiting my folks out in Dallas for the week, and I saw the add on craigslist for inventions, that I auditioned and it led to being on national television! Now, with all the changes there weren't any press releases or media attention for me except in my little local newspaper after I called them....but we had an aweseom viewing party with the gals from church and my family. All the ladies HAD to wear a Klipzon Headband while they watched. It's a busy time right now with businesses, but I'm excited to see what doors might open after vacation is over. It doesn't all seem real just yet, but talking about it with other contestants and with friends and with you makes it more real! <br /><br />What restrictions, if any, do you have from Milojo, TLC, HSN?<br /><br />I don't have any restrictions with them. My contract is expired, and I'm on my own now. They took me on a crazy ride that I will remember for the rest of my life. If there was a season two, I have other inventions to pitch, if HSN or TLC wanted me to come work for them, I'd be all for considering it. I think you have to consider each opportunity that comes before you and take it for what it is and evaluate if it fits what is best for you and for your family. This adventure worked for me and my family. <br /><br /><br />How do you feel about the success of Klipzon after being featured on HM?<br /><br />I think sales would have been better if we would have stayed on TLC. Even friends and facebook friends of mine who really wanted to see the show still had trouble seeing it, with their DVRs set it didn't pick up the show when the title was wrong on Discovery Health. Soooooooo, I'll take what we got! I heard there were some great things happening with Sockslots as a result of the show, too... All in all, more sales than I ever would have gotten without the show...and we will see what else could happen....<br /><br /><br />Well, it's great to be home...and I'm exhausted. Goodnight friends. Talk soon.<br /><br />Deedra :)<br />www.klipzon.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4585401977071096521.post-82731595555758228532010-12-22T18:37:19.918-05:002010-12-22T18:37:19.918-05:00HI YA'LL!!

I can't believe I almost forgot to...Hey Ladies,<br />I can't believe I almost forgot to share that Everyday Edison's is now currently doing their casting call for Season 4 Everyday Edison's. <br />This season they are doing their casting call on-line exclusively. No in person interveiws until the finals. Their reasoning - the live casting calls 1st not all can attend, second the waiting and long days, and thirdly you are limited to only share one of your great ideas. Unless you can get through the line a second time. This way anyone can enter and any number of ideas. Then they will choose 7 finalists from each category (I think there's 5 subcategories) Then they will choose 12 people to be Season 4s Everyday Edisons. Check it out at www.Edisonnation.com I am entering all my best ideas I feel that I have nothing to lose and everything to gain if they choose one of my ideas. So I'm just putting it all out there. Moment of truth for me. <br /><br />In other news - Ladies,<br />Could you please remember me in prayer this week. We have been through so much this last year transitioning from NH to KY then to TN. Living in a camper for 7 months and now we are settled in a house here in TN. But through this whole jouney we have been patiently awaiting the sale of our house in NH. Our house is approved for a short-sale. And has been for 9 months but the series of events that has happened is exhausting our house has been through 5 different Mortgage companies (Both the first and second Mortgages has changed hands in the midst of this process and the second Mortgage spent sometime owned by FDIC.) Each lender has needed to have their own approval process met. Each time we reached approval status with the current 1st and 2nd Mortgage Companies one or the other would change hands again. And we would have to seek approval from the new current lender. The good thing is that we have met approval again. (This is a good thing but kinda sad to think that all 5 lenders [FDIC included] agree that our situation was hard up enough to meet approval.) Anyhow I say all this to say please pray that this time it makes it to closing it is our last attempt!!!! If it does happen we stand to be forgiven the difference between what we owe and what they are accepting for the short-sale which is over $100,000. If it does not happen even though we have been approved it will go to foreclosure and we will owe the difference. As I'm sure you can see this is a substantial big deal. One way means freedom from our debt the other means lifelong debt of trying to payback. Thanks so much for being such good friends who are willing to pray for each other. I count you Ladies as true blessings.Mary Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06908976313842309915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4585401977071096521.post-83648658812732947142010-12-21T01:55:21.405-05:002010-12-21T01:55:21.405-05:00Ok.

I was just telling my friend today that it could be a very good thing, I think, if OWN picks it up...and I wondered if that's the strategy for having moved it to Discovery Health (in anticipation of OWN's taking it over the first of the year)? It would seem like the show is a good fit for OWN -or how I envision OWN programing will be anyway. But with one caveat: I'd love to see them tweak it a bit before a second season. I think it could be done a little more creatively, though I love the whole idea of the show. I think it has great potential and I'd hate to see it dissed before it even got off the ground. I've seen a lot of tweets from women, especially, who are enjoying it immensely. Fingers crossed.

We know each other only from Tracy's site, but I feel like I really do know all these special ladies well - and I admire each of them. I auditioned in person at the New York casting call. NY was the first casting call venue and then they went on to the the other US city locations for more casting calls. I received a contract in the mail right away. Then a couple of phone calls from AP's asking "interview" type questions. And then...nothing. When I followed up much later, I was told I had not been selected because they had no other ladies with "like" products with whom to pair me up, but that I am still under consideration if the show is picked up and my contract still stands. That's all I know. I enjoyed seeing you on your episode and thought your product had great merit. I congratulate you on making it as far as you did. It's nice to see you posting here!
