So my girlfriend invites me to this "award ceremony" for Mary Kay makeup. Her new thing is to try and get rich selling this stuff. So I agree to go with her thinking that it will be like an hour or two max. Well 3 hours later I'm sitting at a table with a bunch of old women listening about how EXCITING!!! everything is. I just got home about 20 minutes ago and the night is pretty much shot so I decided a semi-rant was in order. This makeup thing is like a cult following, everyone wants to sell enough to get the car and for some reason it makes me really mad that these people dont realize that this isnt a good way to get rich quick. I mean seriously, how many people do you know that are retired mary kay consultants? I'm not gonna tell her not to do this but its one of those things that I dont really think is a good idea, it got added to the list with getting a tatoo. But on the plus side, the food was excellent and I got to see the girlfriend in a hot dress 👍

Amway's the way to go. Everybody knows that. :sly:

I can find the right bullet for your needs. Just PM me.

Hahahahahahahahah! Sucks to be you, pal. :p

But, every man has to pay his dues. I've paid'em... we all have to pay'em... eventually. Oh, and don't tell her not to do it. You'll screw yourself bad, if you do. And, when it fails, don't say anthing or you'll REALLY screw yourself.

Just words of caution. (Gives the 'He-man's Women-haters Club "High Sign"')
 
Lead poisoning can result from swallowing a bullet..try using the frangible ones ...no lead ..
 
So....................When do we get to see your girlfriend in a hot dress?? 💡

Don't worry about it though, its a girl thing, and saying something will only make her mad. My friends girlfriend joined a pyramid scam and had plans of being financially secure for the rest of her life. When we explained to her that she would lose money and never see a dime, she got mad at us and thought we were all stupid. Eventually she learned from her mistake and got a real job again (yes, she actually quit her job to join this scam). My advice is to save the relationship for the sake of getting laid again and just keep it shut.

I can't remember. You sell pans and pots and stuff door-to-door, I think.
 
Some kind of an organization that has lots of kitchen products.

How do you even remember the "He-man's woman haters club", not much good now though because it did end up with "girls allowed" (that's allowed not aloud) tagged onto it.
 
Child it sounds like you need a good dose of VTEC.

Take daily as many times as needed. :dopey:
 
It would be best to suggest to your girlfriend that she not do Mary Kay. But in the subtlest of ways. You could lose a body part over this.

My wife was just getting out of it when I met her. She lost a couple hundred dollars on the deal.


Besides, have you seen the car they get?

Why do they want this? It's like the girlie version of a ricer.

Is it just me or is there an increase in the number of pink cars being posted on GTPlanet lately? :odd:

STALKER!!! :(

Seriously, I'm scared..

Anyway, back to the main topic, ummm that sounds like a pretty sucky night right there, I guess it could be worse, they could have used you as an active demonstration of how the make up and stuff works. ;)
 
I agree Fool. Why do women want a Pink Cadillac?

I'll bet you can just buy whatever model the current one is, repaint it, and hell, even find some of those Mary Kay decals. And there you go. Probably a lot cheaper this way than going through all the mess to get one. I just find it funny how only men have been running the company since the founder's death.

My Neighbor Seriously got the car. I think she has already sold it, but she really did get the car. Well, she didnt get that car, this was a few years ago. I believe she got a red Grand Am? Maybe, It was a while back. All i rember was it had "Mary Kay" on it.
 
The thing about Mary Kay and Avon and all those things is this: they're basically getting you to pay them for you to do their marketing. The "agents" have to pay for everything - they have to buy catalogs, samples, even the bags that MK requires you to deliver the products in. So it's like the old coal mining company store - except you have to sell the products yourself too!

....Oh....My....God.

A classmate of mine regularly gets dropped off in a car exactly like that. I assumed that they just modified it. (Badly) To be honest, the picture doesn't do it justice, it is even more hideous in person. :crazy:

Supposedly, to get this pink Caddy today, you have to go through 2 cars before this.

I'm guessing she got one of the ones before the "prize".

Already been done. Several times. As far as the car thing though from what I understand there are at least 2 or 3 cars that you have to go through to get the caddy I believe there is a Gran Prix, a Vibe(?), and then maybe the Caddy. You have to sell like 45k worth of stuff over 4 months or something like that. Its something rediculusly (sp?) high.
 
to the OP:

Let your girl read this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ponzi
it explains the story of the first guy known to do this.
(thats why its actually called "Ponzi scheme" rather than "Pyramid scheme")
its also a nice read.

and while youre at it, read this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victor_Lustig
not quite on topic, except for being an story about frauds, but very interesting
and funny.

oh and browse the links in the articles, youll learn a lot about scams, plus
its quite entertaining ;)
