Homemade Millionaire Episode 5 Winner: Bread ‘n Butter
Sunday, December 19th, 2010
Grace Choi and her convertible jewelry won Homemade Millionaire episode 5. This episode was interesting because it was “bread and butter” vs. risk. The Klipzon, a clip on headband, was very impressive as it stayed on the ladies at the gym, no matter how they thrashed about. I thought the advice of the stylist to add faux croc, and embellishments were a great way to go. I did like some of Deedra’s less flashy choices too. Deedra came off as a very sweet, but with some business gumption. I liked how she was able to update her product. I especially liked the flower headband that she wore for the last show. See www.klipzon.com. Grace’s convertible jewelry really morphed into a much more desirable product than her prototype (see photo above) after talking to the experts. The magnetic clasps were a tremendous improvement. I see women, especially older women, who have arthritis being able to use her pieces easily. See the Grace Choi Collection at www.HSN.com This episode really showed how a little bit of tweaking can really improve the products dramatically. Both women and products were very likeable in different ways. It’s very easy for me to connect emotionally with Deedra, as a mom, and as a creative inventor of the Klipzon head bands. The choice of Grace, as a Homemade Millionaire winner, made the show seem more unpredictable. Choosing a young brainy Cornell alumna, jewlry designer that was not an obvious choice. HSN went with their “bread and butter” product, jewelry. Sometimes, like Trump says, “it’s not personal it’s business…..”
