"I Found Faith through Mary Kay"

Let it be said, you can find wacky people of all different religions all over the world. However, it just so happens that there are a lot of LDS people in Utah, so it naturally makes for a greater concentration of LDS "wackys" in the state. Although the individual who prompted this post happens to be LDS, she didn't need the religious component to inspire a post (i.e. she was talking about MK makeup products and how they compared to European cosmetics: "I don't know if you know anything about Europe, but, everything is like $100 there"). The other night, Hillary and I were able to spend an evening with one such special person... please enjoy the following as I relate an encounter with a Mary Kay consultant:

...in the middle of her story of how she came to be a MK Consult....

"...are all of you LDS? *she glances around the room to see everyone
agreeing* OK, then you get the whole Faith thing then. I thought I
understood Faith before, but I truly learned what Faith was after joining Mary
Kay...."

I could go on and on about how this is so wrong on multiple levels, but I'll spare you my commentary! Let me just say that my jaw was dropped and I could feel Hillary trying to get my attention as she also stared in shock and shared disbelief of what we were hearing.

It's O.K. Mary Kay Ash (rest your soul), I will not blame you for this monstrosity.

I may have not gained a new testimony of faith through the MK business tonight,

but I did get a cool tube of lip gloss & this great picture. Rock on.

P.S. this only scratches the surface of the entire experience -
