Title: sell garbage to your friends at partys
Post by: steve dave on May 31, 2012, 09:07:10 AM
I've just recently become aware of this freak show. A group of people at my office are always talking (between boughts of crying) about this thing they bought at their friends party.  apparently their friends have these partys and somehow trick everyone there into purchasing low quality jewelry, clothes, kitchen stuff, candles, etc.  At first I just assumed all of their friends were into one of the pyramid scheme cults but I think this is a different thing.  maybe the pyramid scheme cults just branched out into new markets. Not 100% sure.

The really funny ones are the "passion parties" that involve female canadian friends crashing a bachelorette party with sex toys for sale.

Yes - chicks love this crap. My wife is invited to no less than 2 a month of these. She usually comes home with a tube of lip gloss or bottle of marinade because she feels bad. She has since denied all invitations as she has come to the realization that they are pyramid scheme cults.

There's a lady my wife works with who also uses her kids to do this. It's pretty much the most awful thing you've ever been around.

LOL

Tupperware, jewelry, sex toys, and cleaning supplies might be pyramid schemes, but I don't think selling crap out of your medicine cabinet and fridge is. That's just greasy. Like something Ricky would do in Trailer Park Boys.

My girlfriend was invited to a Vault Denim party a few weeks ago.  After it was over she was briefly cornered by the party hostess and asked to become a "consultant".  She lol'd and declined the opportunity.  Smart girl, she told me she only went for free sangria and snacks or whatever the hell gets served at these things.

My wife has lost friends over not going to this bs. She eff'n hates these parties. I tell her to invite all of the girls over and tell them that you are providing alcohol and that nobody is allowed to bring any money or credit cards...it is a new type of party for married ladies, they just have to sign up to host a party in the next 3 months.

Yes.  My wife and sister have both recently become involved in the same pyramid marketing scheme.  My wife has an MBA and a high-paying job and now she wants to push shitty "health" products on people in her spare time.  I never saw it coming.  Same for my sister.  And it's not like they're old and bored, they're both in their late twenties.  Prior to this, I would have confidently vouched for their intelligence.  It's rough ridin' beyond me.  Verdict: women be shoppin'.

If you're trying to bang your wife's friends, this is not the way to go about it.  Good way to eventually get divorced and charged with rape though.

No less than three chicks I went to high school with are into selling the passion parties.   ALL of them did loads more stuff than the other chicks back in high school.

it's science. 

at the wedding alter, the bride's father gives you his daughter, you give the bride a ring, and the bride gives the sewer her education, logic, and sense of reasoning.  after which you spend the rest of your life dealing with the results of the previous three transactions.

welcome to rough ridin' Denim Vault.

Yeah. Maybe also ask them to not bring any forms of ID with them?  :dunno:

The closest thing mrs. hamburglar does to this is monthly bunco with other teachers.  The biggest drama involved with that is if the woman hosting this month is serving dinner or not.  I thought that was bad enough.  T's & P's to all of you. 

Note: I fully expect this post to come back and bite me in the ass.  Eventhough right now I feel there is a 0% chance this is something Mrs. Hamburglar would be into, I'm sure this will follow the same script everything else in life does:

goEMAW: Have you heard of smart, educated, late 20s married women selling something called Vault rough ridin' Denim?
TheHamburglar: No, that sounds terrible.
Mrs. Hamburglar 3 days from now: Hey, I just learned about this awesome thing called Vault Demin that I can sell for some extra money.  I already signed up to host a party.

Well then, she will be married to some other poor sap.  I have no problem dumping a chick who is stupid enough to do this stuff.  One of my exes was a "consultant" for Partylite, selling a bunch of goddamn candles.  There's still a bunch of old Partylite crap down in my basement.

I've been getting a lot of calls for this Body By Vi crap.  "Find out how to get your shakes for free", "You could be receiving checks without doing any work", "You could have a BMW in your driveway", blah blah blah

Thoughts on this Body by Vi 90 Day Challenge crap?

Yeah, but one of thinking of one of them doing the loads makes me want to clean my brain with bleach.   :goodbyecruelworld:

The CEO where my wife works goes around and "invites" all of the ladies in the workplace to his wife's jewelry "parties". It's like sexual harassment except with network marketing instead of sex.

Does Vault Denim have boot-cut jeans to go with all the boots you buy from there??    :excited:
