I have been looking for a new rug recently, and a famous TBM name caught my eye on this website:

http://www.rugs-direct.com/Details/KAS-DonnyOsmondTimeless-Havana/120767/193916

I had no idea he had branched out into home furnishings. I've also never previously heard the claim from marketers that a rug "encourage[es] family togetherness"...that's a new one!

Well, if Marie can sell collector dolls, Donny can sell rugs.

Yes, but would he lie like one?

It ties the family together.

I thought you meant he was selling new hairpieces for men, not unlike Eva Gabor did with women's wigs in the 70's IIRC.

This will not stand.

This month he made public appearances at the mammoth home-furnishings trade show in Las Vegas, called the Las Vegas Market Show, promoting his company Donny Osmond Home.

It makes sense from a business perspective he would branch out into a profitable Internet business before his working days are over.

As for his name selling rugs, heck, I wouldn't shop for one that carries an Osmond label. It would need to have more going for it than that.

Re his 'Timeless Collection,' there are 11 rugs in toto, each ranging in price from $30.60 to $495.

They all look very symmetrical, but void of artistry. And very cookie cutter.

Kinda like the Osmonds music .... ;)

The family has been making a living with music for decades. Don't know of another family that can match their success.
I'm sure they have other abilities they want to pursue.
The LDS audience is a good place to market their products.

Something and Osmond albums. I guess you have to put food on the table since the Dad did not manage their money well.

From the Donny & Debbie Website:

Hey Donny....If you want to put home and family first, toss Mormonism. You'll find you have way more time and way more sensitivity and harmony for your family without Mormonism getting in the way. If you went to the temple you swore to always put LDS, Inc. first above all else. What were you thinking?

Okay, so his rugs are more in conformity with advancing the cause of Communism, not promoting family values.

No inspiration to be found with his rug line.

Mormonism and selling turds go hand in hand. You'd think they could come up with novel products, but they never really do. They always riff off of each other. Home furnishings. Vitamins. Oils. Mines. Pfffttt.
