Okay live tv, who is looking slammin'? and who looks like (hehe) a plane jane type!

Shout out Miranda, hypothetically what would you do just to make TC look half as polished as Rhonda? Maybe some of that super expensive, low quality crap, that doesn't work... could improve what I see. -lol - sorry couldn't resist. Maybe we should run her pic thru the virtual makeover program on www.marykay.com

TONIGHT:

Gloria Mayfield Banks joins Soledad O'Brien and Anderson Cooper tonight for a special preview edition of Black in America 2. Tune in tonight, 11 ET.


Gloria Mayfield Banks joins CNN Anchor and Special Correspondent, Soledad O'Brien, for a special preview edition of Black in America 2. The program airs tonight (February 26th), at 11 p.m. on Anderson Cooper 360.

Gloria is part of an esteemed panel of guests discussing the current state of Black America, and the effects of the historic election of Barack Obama as the first African-American President of the United States.

A Harvard MBA, Gloria left a corporate career 20 years ago to sell lipstick. Today, she is the number one African-American seller in Mary Kay Cosmetics worldwide.

As an Elite Executive National Sales Director, Gloria has earned more than $5 million in commissions and oversees a force of 6,000 consultants and six National Sales Directors. She travels the globe to speak with audiences seeking her advice on what it takes to be a success.

Gloria's success is phenomenal considering she has Dyslexia, a learning disability. She has made it her life's work to demonstrate to others that any goal can be achieved.

Gloria has shared her secrets of success with national media audiences on CNN, the Donny Deutsch show, "The Big Idea" on CNBC, ABC-TV, and has appeared in Fortune, Black Enterprise, Glamour, Working Woman and PINK Magazines

Fortune Magazine and Mary Kay Ash

Anyone that reads Pink Truth on a regular (or even semi-regular) basis knows that they often like to find little tidbits from obscure publications that paint Mary Kay in a negative light.

The spew of comments that follow these invariably include something along the lines of, "I wish a major news organization would do an exposé on Mary Kay so the world can see how terrible they are!". The problem with that wish seems to be that whenever credible journalism gets involved - you know the kind where people look beyond the hearsay, overblown exaggerations and manipulative lies of a handful of bitter bloggers to conduct "actual" research - the result is usually something that puts Mary Kay in a considerably positive light.

MK4ME recently posted one of these items. (Link - Mary Kay on Good Morning America)

Well, when I saw the following article on Fortune Magazine's website, I could not help but think of all this... and how much Balanced Mary Kay readers would probably appreciate it.

The article is titled "10 bizarre and daring feats of salesmanship" and features, as the title suggests, ten unique but highly successful sales ideas in recent history.

Guess who the first person on their list is.

No really, guess. Or, click the link to find out.

well? did you check it out yet? seriously, I am not going to tell you, you have to go look at it yourself... no screenshots today. :)

When you have had a look (and I am sure that you will want to click through all of the stories there... maybe even check out some other Fortune articles) come back here and let me know what your thoughts are.

Oh, and any of you Pink Truth readers, please notice that I did not say, "Look, Mary Kay was in Fortune Magazine, so it must be an easy way to make money!"
