Greetings Pink Truth Users: Welcome to Balanced Mary Kay - Also Known As: "The Truth About Mary Kay"

I am sorry that I do not have more time to greet you and explain what we are doing here, but I was not expecting you quite so soon.

Nonetheless, I am glad to see all of you here. No doubt, many of you have already googled "The Truth About Mary Kay" and found yourself here.

Yes, I am the "boy yente" that havurah mentioned. You are in the right place.

As I mentioned, this is a very hasty greeting and hopefully I will be able to fill in the gaps for you soon. In the meantime, please feel free to poke around and see what we are all about.

To sum it up for you though, we are primarily folks that disagree with Tracy but are not allowed to post comments on Pink Truth. Most dissenting opinions on Pink Truth are deleted and the ones that left them banned. This is our "home" where we express our dissenting opinions. And allow people to disagree with our dissenting opinions. As such, you are more than welcome to express your opinions here.

Whatever you want. Be creative. Really.

I do, however, (as most blog owners do) request that you keep it civil.

No "outing" people.
No abusive language.
No declarations of "facts" that you PERSONALLY do not have evidence of.
(on that note, personal testimony should be presented as such... Your story... not "the way things are".)

To that end, you will find that we have simply had a different experience with Mary Kay than you did.

Because of the way our (by "our" I mean ALL of us) perception of the world is shaped, it is easy to understand how YOU (Pink Truth members) will believe that the majority of Mary Kay is the way you experienced it while WE (people that have a 'good' perception of Mary Kay) will believe that the majority of Mary Kay is the way WE experienced it.

This is not bad or good. It simply precludes the ability to say, "Mary Kay is... (anything) with any certainty.

It is for that reason that "WE" (the majority of readers/subscribers to this blog) have (more or less) concluded that the simplest way to look at it is this:

Mary Kay is just a company. It is not "good". It is not "bad". There are "pros" and there are "cons".

Again, I am very happy to see that you made your way here, and I hope we will all here from you soon.

P.S. Google is a very impartial holder of the accounts here. You are also welcome to use Open ID (if you can figure it out). You will have to remember your password. I do not get any of your account information from google, so you are "safe". Thanks.
