Luckily haven’t had any friends who are MK people, but one of my friends just joined Herbalife and now I’m getting the “I-feel-guilt-tripped-into-buying-from-you-because-you’re-my-friend” purchase… at least it’s supposed to help with losing weight, so I just eat stuff rather than put it on my face… ^.^
I’ve heard of the Herbalife thing but no one I know directly sells it. Basically, if I can’t get it in a store or online without a third party butting in, I usually don’t buy it.
I hear ya!
“But, I will endorse the hell out of my own blog without trying to put blush on you.”
What a relief!
Sorry, that didn’t include you. I am picking out the perfect shade for you right now!
Mary Kay is the classic pyramid scheme. It’s not so about how much product you sell, it’s how many people you talk into joining the biz. Mary Kay did well because she was at the very top. My Home Ec teacher quit teaching to become an MK consultant and she made bank. Got herself one of those pink caddies and a mink stole.
And you are priceless, that line,”…..Thursday for a night full of bloody marys, kay?” Is sheer genius. LMAO!
You are absolutely correct about the pyramid scheme. Also, I totally had to Google what a stole is, but I bet your teacher felt pretty pimp in her caddie with that thing on. Thanks for the compliment too :).
You are too lovely. I was a Pure Romance consultant up until recently and I felt the same way. Only thing that women should be buying in a party scene is sex toys. And, I have a few MK friends, and I love them all dearly, but man, when they talk about MK, they get the crazy eyes. I have no idea what they do at those meetings, but they are trained to be make-up pushing drones. “Yes, I have a consultant,” is used on the crazy eyes regularly. Truth? I don’t.
Thanks for the feedback (and the compliment). My only hope is that my friend doesn’t use mind control on us to lure us into the cult. I’m only exaggerating, but I will certainly lie to any of them to get out of a sales pitch in the future.
I promise it works.
How did it go?
Well…. http://25tofly.com/2012/09/14/forgive-me-friday/
If Mary Kay can do it, why can’t we, right?? If she wrote a book, she’d rock it as an indie. 😉
Heard that! Thanks for the feedback August 🙂
I don’t wear make-up.
Maybe not in public you don’t.
I get harassed by MK sales ladies on a semi-annual basis. I’m too nice to tell them I’m not interested and so they just keep calling and offering to give me a free facial…I have also been hit up by Amway and Rodan and Fields (both pyramid thingies). I must have an easy-target on the back of my head or something.
Yikes! I can empathize with that though, I tend to have a hard time saying no.
Hilarious! I needed a good chuckle today! Enjoy the wine!
Now that I can do! Glad you were amused 🙂
