The Pink Dream that isn't.

Back on 5 February 2005, MKSurvivors was created. A group for people who were trying to get out of The Pink Fog, AKA Mary Kay Cosmetics. Shortly thereafter, Thepinkingsheers.com was created.

Then came the blog explosion. Anti-MK blogs appeared and disappeared. In response, a number of pro-Mary Kay blogs appeared. Some blogs on both sides were informative. Most were rants. And a new battleground was found in Wikipedia's article on Mary Kay Cosmetics.

A number of interesting changes occurred in the Mary Kay World.
* Refunds for product returns were changed to check only;
* The number of Mary Kay consultants in the US dropped;
* Gross wholesale MK revenue dropped;
* Unitnet.com sites became password protected. (This is not surprising, since most claims made by a director could be disproven, using information provided by the director on their unitnet site.) ;

There were always two factions in the anti-Mary Kay world:
* Shut down Mary Kay at all costs;
* Work Mary Kay ethically, and legally;

What was unexpected was:
* Blogs that were pro-Tracy Cohen;
* Blogs that were anti-Tracy Cohen;

What is going on here? It appears that Tracy Cohen exhibits an extreme intolerance for dissenting opinions. She became a victim of her own claims. Techniques that she had no qualms about using on others, were used on her. And she came up short.

Whatever happened to the original idea of either:
* reforming Mary Kay?
* helping people not get sucked into the Pink Fog?
