She has no job. Joan has to support Mellisa & her 10 yr old kid. She's less qualified to critique fashion than the average housewife.

There is probably thousands of dollars (at least) of clothes here, and she hangs those things on the same plastic hangers that I buy at Wal-Mart! ...I'd assume that she's use those no-snag, no droop hangers from the gal who sells hangers on qvc!
