On Friday I went to lunch at Zianno's with others who had attend a memorial service earlier that day. It was a lovely dinner, delicious as always, but, in addition to all the usual catching up kinds of conversations, an interesting fact came up. One of the people at my table said that when he arrived, a little earlier than the rest of us, he saw three pink Cadillacs in the parking lot. He inquired inside and was told that the large group using the private dining room before us were Mary Kay sales people. I was surprised. I have not heard of Mary Kay for so long that I didn't know the company was still in business. But, evidently, not only are they still in business but they still award pink cars as top sales prizes. There was a time in my life when I had a rather extensive collection of Mary Kay cosmetics but that was because my boyfriend at the time had decided to sell their products as his summer job. I think this was after his sophomore year in college. I don't think I was his only customer. His mother and sister probably bought something, but he did not carry on with selling Mary Kay after that summer. I can't make fun of him though. He probably made more money than I did the summer I tried selling encyclopedias.
