Mother Mary


Hi Kids, Sorry it has been so long. Sometimes I think I have writer's block even though I am not a writer.
Anyhow, I was on a test drive today when I saw something I haven't seen in years,shocking really. Care to take a few guesses? Yeah, maybe not. It was a Pink Cadillac. Now, the Shocking part wasn't that there was a perfectly good CTS painted Pearl Pink. It was the fact that it had a huge Mary Kay badge on the trunk and two more on the doors. First of all, you don't need to plaster her name all over the car. Everyone and their dead Aunt Penny knows that if you see a Pink Caddy the driver is a pro at slinging Mrs K's wears. Second, Mary Kay is still making make-up?
I know very little of Mary Kay. The only real experience I have is a memory from the 80's which might be a little fuzzy. I was 13 and my Aunt was getting married to a man name Dick. Some people really do live up to their name. He lost his eyebrows the week before the wedding due to stress and the fact that he was a gold digging weasel. I was asked to be a Groomsman along with my two Cousin's and Uncle. The Bridesmaids were my Mother and her three Sister's. The Maid of Honor........a Mary Kay rep. So needless to say the make up was done by Her and Mary.
The girls looked like spackled whores. The Groom's new eyebrow's suggested he was surprised to be there. After a very long Catholic wedding ceremony without air conditioning I noticed that the warpaint worn by the ladies of the night was sagging now making them all look twenty years older and still cheap.
This was many years ago and I am sure that with Sarah Palin animal testing lipstick on pigs that Mary's products have gotten much better? At least they are still rewarding their employee's with American made luxury and not a better made knock-off assembled in America.

  1. I reckon I'd look damn hot in one of them pearl pink Cadillacs. Feel sorry for Aussie Mary Kay reps, they get given a pearl pink Saab 9-3 convertible of they're really top of their game. Sadly I want one of those too.

  2. My first and 9th cars were Saaab's.....oh how I miss them. And your skin tone is more of a Merlot than a blush.

  3. I don't know what's more comical!? The blog or your comments you two!!! LOL Nice! I think it's cool they have different types of goals in different countries but that Mary Kay is still melting off faces all around the world and at rates high enough to provide multiple pink vehicles for it! DANG!
