Q Character of the Day: Jeanne Bice (quack)


Jeanne Bice is the creator and owner of The Quacker Factory. If you have no clue what I’m talking about, consider yourself lucky. The Quacker Factory manufactures arguably the ugliest clothing in America. Picture the worst holiday sweater you have ever seen (Jesus, Santa, snowmen, reindeer, glitter, fur, etc.); that was probably produced by The Quacker Factory. QVC sells these sweaters to millions of adoring fans.

Bice’s personality fights with the sweaters for the audience’s attention. Sounds impossible right – how do you steal the show from a knitted talking snowman? Well, maybe it’s the Bret Michaels-esque headpiece that she sports. Or maybe it’s her “you can do anything” positive attitude combined with the ugly apparel. I lack the expertise to pinpoint what has brought her such success. Although, on her website, Jeanne seems to know what did it:

I put a sign on the wall that said- "QVC - YES" and sat back and waited for God to do his job.

If only everything were that simple. Well, because QVC loves us, Jeanne Bice will be on tomorrow. Yes! For three hours. Hallelujah! She’ll be quacking at 8 a.m., and from 5 p.m.- 7 p.m. Just don’t get your hopes up about that Hanukkah sweater, they didn’t sell that well last year – Jeanne will tell you why.
