Hi! My name is Erika and I have no idea how i found this website but I began to read some of the comments and found a great interest. I too am a “crazy Mary Kay lady”!!
I would just like to say that we ONLY work with people that we want to work with. And we only compliment people that we really think are put together well or have nice sweaters!! You all should be very flattered!! The next time a crazy MK woman says something nice to you and offers you her card and a sample, kindly accept, say thank you and try it out!! You may be surprised. People who don’t like the idea of Mary Kay are just misinformed or not informed enough about it. I thought Mary Kay was just old lady makeup when I started. But once I found out that this company puts God first, family second, and career third, I didn’t care what kind of makeup it was. I was in! And now, I am a couple of weeks away from earning my FREE car. By the way, they pay for your sales tax, personal prop. tax and 85% of your insurance.
Just thought you all would like a little preview our “cult” as you all call it!!
But really, try some of our products out sometime.
We’re not #1 because we sell bad products!
Thanks for letting me give my 2 cents!
If you have any questions you can email me @ erika_joan31@yahoo.com!!!

Kris: No need to censor yourself on my account. Just promise you’ll let me ride in your fancy new car!
Kilax: It’s my favorite sammich – at Cosi’s. They also have the same one with chicken in it, too. Sometimes that one’s a bit much, though.
Romy: I know… I thought she liked my sweater. *sniff*
Allison: Wait… what is this Glossimer of which you speak?
Number4of5: Don’t worry – I just gave your number to some Avon ladies, the church of Scientology, and eHarmony. You’ll have all the cults you can handle.
Bobby: I think you gave me a good idea for next halloween – I’m going to be a Questor/Questar/Quixtar internet zombie. Mmm… brains!
Christine: We kid because we love.

I loved the first article! You think she’s bashing Mary Kay, but then you realize it’s all a joke! I loved it! Bobby, just FYI… network marketing companies are not pyramids. There are very strict pyramid laws in place. As bad a reputation as Quixtar/Amway has, simply joining the organization will not get earn anyone any money. It’s all about volume of product moved. And you should educate yourself. Direct sales is the most flexible way to earn full time income on part time work. Yes, some people are too pushy. But there are a lot of companies out there that lead with the product and let the customers turn themselves into business builders. Those are the companies to go for! Happy Holidays everyone! Christine (yes, with Mary Kay, http://www.marykay.com/energize, and I’ve never approached anyone at the mall!)

How do people conduct a life like that – with that constant goal of sell sell sell dictating every action in public every hour everywhere.
I worked in this place with these guys selling this crap – I think it was called Questar Questor something like that – it was the Amway of the internet – a pyramid scheme, you earn your money signing up new people. These guys were like the living dead, “Join us. Join us.”

Should I be upset that no one has ever tried to sell me Mary Kay? Do they not think my sweater is nice? Or, am I not put together enough for them?
Geesh, what’s a girl got to do to get cult members after her?

Victim, here. *raises hand* I got Kay’ed by a Krishna party and had to buy that damn healing hands kit-thing because I felt bad that my friend wasn’t going to have enough sales to get herself free shit.
Ah well, here’s to the ladies in their little pink cars. Good luck taking over the world (read: stay away. Far far away. I will put your eye out with my Chanel Glossimer)!

ack. how awkward and strange – and really, let’s face it, crushing for you. the disappointment when you learn a compliment is insincere !
at least you’ve got back at the whole group of ‘em with “mary krishnas” – that had me laughing so hard i choked. on SOUP.

That sandwich sounds good… where did you get that at? (I live around the Chicago area).
I too, have a Mary Kay story. I worked at McDonald’s and the MK lady would come through the drive thru after her weekly (MK cult) meetings. I was always working there and she showered me with compliments. I gave her my phone number – a big BIG mistake – and she called me all the time about coming to her MK shows. I had to plitely say no, No, NO, until finally she stopped calling.
Beware the MK ladies!!!

Junebug: Wow! That tops my story, for sure. And yes, our vanity certainly makes us willing to get suckered into things. I… I just thought she really liked my sweater…
Randa: I have no doubt that your compliments are sincere (or maybe I just want to believe that I looked smashing with whore eyes!). I’m just giving the MKrishnas a hard time. I worked with a lovely woman who sold MK, and she was sweet as pie, and quite genuine. Of course, she never earned that pink Cadillac with that attitude.
TCho: See what we women have to endure? Just be thankful they don’t have a men’s line. Or maybe they do? Uh oh – run, TCho, run!
