I wonder if THIS is the year I’ll win the drag queen beauty pageant!
I am not deity to be worshipped. I was a rather cold and calculating business woman who set up my own MLM. I knew exactly what I was doing and it made me a very wealthy woman.
MWAH! Kiss your money goodbye, because I have taught women how to make you lose money as they make you think you are a real businesswoman.
It involves a pile of platitudes, pink feather boas, and dastardly pressure tactics disguised as sisterhood.
Invisible Marlboro! Come to where the debt is! 😀
LAZY, dang it. That’s what I was going to write…just not as well or witty. 😉
I was going to say kiss your money, credit cards, and family goodbye. LG beat me to it, lol.
hmmm, this lipstick sure is sticky. Maybe I should reformulate it, again, so everyone has to buy even more inventory! MUAHAHAHA!!!
I guess I’ll blot now..nobody likes lip stick on dentures!
Thank you, my minions, for giving me all of your money, even money you don’t have. You’ll be paying for my diamonds forever. I love you for making me RICH.
Oh MAN that was some ROCKIN weed. So good I sucked the whole damn spliff in and swallowed it!How else would I get through these dumbshit seminars?
By spiking the punch, of course!
“I want the whole crowd to get into the spirit and charged up to be tip-top sales people…I want certainty. I don’t want to guess if everyone is loosened up and ready to go…I want to spike the punch…noone has to know it contains alcohol…it would just be enough to get them to relax.”
~Mary Kay Ash in Jackie Brown’s book, Ask ME About Mary Kay.
Excellent Scrib!
Wig, fake lashes, oversized earrings, pasty-pale foundation, sunburn-pink blusher, discontinued lipcolor and matching nailpolish… ewww…
NOW I know what my IBC was picturing when she did my makeover. OH yes, that and my wallet.
“Check out the lines around my lips…NEW PRODUCT IDEA!”
“Get ready to kiss your money goodbye!”
yea I have a different thought.
I see a woman whose childhood was spent taking care of her Dad. I see a woman desperate to matter to someone, and in deep need for affection and recognition for her own dreams. I see a wounded inner child who never figured out what was driving her, and she became a human doing instead of a human being. Out of a dysfunctional home, she became a workaholic and justified it as an acceptable lifestyle for thousands and thousands of women. And the longer she went without recovery, the more she rationalized her “opportunity” and more denial she lived within.
This isn’t grand speculation…even a cursory read of her books reveal this. She rationalized mistruths (lying) and employed “shaming” and manipulation to get other people to do what she wanted. It ain’t no wonder that John Rochon (Former ceo) “reinvented” the icon AND SANITIZED HER IMAGE. She was probably a great lady one on one. One on a million…not so much.
“I see a woman whose childhood was spent taking care of her Dad. ”
I see a woman who didn’t tell the truth about her dad! I see a woman who exaggerated the hardships of her childhood to make her success sound more remarkable.
I have proof – official government documents – that her dad was not an invalid. That she was not all alone, with just her mom at the other end of the phone line.
And … they weren’t dirt-poor, if you stop to read her books and analyse the details she hands you.
Lazy, is where is the true story about her sick dad and her childhood? I’d like to read it.
At the moment, in several places.
1 – My computer’s hard drive.
2 – This family tree’s supporting documentation http://trees.ancestry.com/tree/20180925/family
3 – The census records, city directories and other primary sources attached to that tree.
Thanks again LazyG, for helpin to blow away the Pink Fog. I’ll look at this info
“We are of peace, always.”
Might as well be smoking… she looks like she has for about 50 years. 😉 lololol
Lazy…for real? Did you ever do an article about her lying about her past? I knew Rochon made her into more icon than woman…but I guess I always thought her back story was mostly true. (Excluding husband edits)
LazyG, I can’t wait to read about MK’s real childhood, here on Pink Truth.
“Did I get all the bullshit off my lips?”
^^^^ You get eleventy internets for that.
Best caption I’ve seen.
And the winner is….. Good one! Ooooh, I like this game.
No wonder she was so insecure that she had to beelieve that one could only be respected and look professional in a dress.
