The Mary Kay party was quite the success. Not only did Audra and her sister Erin show up but so did Sandy, our next door neighbor and Lisa’s work friend, Christine. Carolyn, the Mary Kay Rep, gave us little Styrofoam plates that contained little squirts of products and instructed us to wipe them all over our face and hands. Later she gave us little makeup samples and showed us how to paint ourselves up like harlots. Just teasing, I already know how to do that. At first, the makeup she gave me must have been for a black woman because it was far too dark for me. I had to go into her style book and find different colors that would work on my hunky-dago skin coloring. Ultimately, the only thing I purchased was a bottle of perfume because it was the cheapest thing I could find. I don’t see the point in paying more than 5.00 – 10.00 for eyeshadow, especially when it is a well known fact that all makeup is made by one company and only the labels and packaging are different. I thought maybe Carolyn would give me a little stick of lipstick or something as thanks for allowing me to do her spiel in the Donnavilla but instead she entered Audra in a contest for a free trip to Atlantic City. Audra assured me this was fair. At any rate, my Duncan Hines Yellow Cake was a hit! Everyone loved it and a few people even had seconds!
