Red Carpet Box

[zadidoll]

*sigh* Why does she not get M•A•C does NOT allow ANYONE to sell or distribute their products without authorization. Her vendor is NOT among those authorized unless she's buying from Belk, Macy's, Dillard's or other authorized vendors.

Has she addressed the money donations and proved she's donated the money? A few screenshots from her Paypal account showing she donated the money would be helpful on her part.

We have enjoyed buying from a jeweler who hand makes and also has stock of quality he doesn't hand make but wholesales also. We hope you enjoy our new program. We apologize for the confusion."

Strange. If she is referring to mut, she is really nuts. I didn't realize that pointing out that counterfeit makeup was dangerous meant, "threatening action against" her co.

"We needed verification that you were going to be okay with that free gift and that we would be held harmless for gifting you. However, a certain beauty forum had taken action to impress upon our company that if we gifted the MAC (that we purchased from one of our main wholesalers that is American and is honest) they would report us and impressed upon others to take other actions against us as well. We decided as a company that nothing was more important than to keep our cause going and to focus on what was important as a company and to do the right thing for our Clients and our company and the very people we are trying to sponsor, namely, Jordan and Sheila, and gift you a watch in your first subscription box as your free gift for donating. "

Why would she be concerned abt being reported if her wholesaler is an "honest American"?

I think she does (maybe to some extent) but just doesn't want to admit it because it's going to make her look bad. Playing innocent "I didn't know these products were fake I just got them from a good old american vendor" is going to make her look much better (in her mind, anyway). Or maybe I'm giving her too much credit.

MAC does not sell to wholesalers ever. They don't ever allow their products to be sold wholesale. It doesn't matter if the wholesaler claims they are authentic. They are fake, and that is illegal. This is what I think she does not understand.

Holy crap on a bloody cracker! Is this *still* going on?

I really, truly, honestly would have thought that Karma would have whacked her with the cl00bat by now.  OTOH, she's a true, textbook Narcissist and I really don't see Karma being able to beat THAT out of her with anything less that the Amazonian Rain Forest.

Yup, very manipulative. Twisting the Mac problem around in a way to deflect blame off of her, and put it on mut. She seems to thrive off of drama, otherwise, she would be professional, and stop mentioning mut "forcing her" to stop Mac and bringing all her charities to a screeching halt.

What is the point of this info?

She likes to shop at a jeweler who can make handmade things, but he also wholesales other "quality items".

But this watch is not handmade, but comes from someone who can make stuff???

Yeah I read that too and was like "wtf?!!", it's pointless to try to understand the ramblings of a madwoman.

Ahhh so that's what she meant.

Honestly, I literally didn't understand that sentence at all at first, because without punctuation it made zero sense to me (English isn't my first language).

 

[Hellocat4]

At least she knows mut is a "forum". I think a lot of men call forums "blogs". My husband has referred to them similarly: "were you on those blogs"? And he clearly is talking abt a forum. Or, "people on those blogs". He hasn't discussed them in yrs (I remember this happening when he was looking for wk). I used to correct him and say, "oh, you mean comments" or "that is a forum, not a blog".

I still can't get over that guy. When I told my fiance about the panty fly guy he thought it was hilarious because he has a forum he goes to all the time too and knows i'm always on "that makeup forum."  I guess I'm just used to being with someone who is on the internet as much as I am bahahha.

Same here, mine chuckled when I told him about the PantyFly drama /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

He said it's crazy that there are still people our age (late 20s, early 30s) out there who still don't know the difference between a forum and a blog. I was very surprised myself, to be honest, because usually guys are more tech and internet savvy than girls. I could see some of my female friends that only ever use Twitter, Facebook and Instagram not knowing the difference, but I don't know a single guy around my age who would call MUT a blog.

 

[Hellocat4]

My husband is OLD, so it makes more sense that he calls it that lol! He's not even on twitter or fb. Patty's comments show how highly she thinks of status. She likes to identify people by their occupation. It sounds so unnatural & obvious: "...SO chic even the dr's wife who owns a med spa asked me if she knew where I got it and I told her I would bring her one and she was totally confused, lol." Unnecessary to identify admirer as a dr.s wife who happens to own a med spa.

Yup I noticed that too, it's like: WTF?

Same, really don't think any of my friends wouldn't know the difference, some might not use forums, but they read blogs and will know the difference XD

I'm old school and even then I'm still a "baby" compared to those who pre-date how long I've been online. I come form the days when there were no forums, no blogs and when AOL was in it's infancy, there was still Compserve before AOL bought it, when it was just HTML and you couldn't even have color text and when forums were known as bulletin boards. BBs are still around with the biggest BB company being VBB. Forums are just an evolution of BBs though in a cleaner and easier to navigate format. I've been online over 16 years now which doesn't seem to be that old but I have friends who go back to being online since the 1980s and used those weird modems you had to put the phone into the cradle (like that one 1980s movie War Games) and even then they're not first generation internet users.

 

[princess2010]

I think I deserve an award for reading this entire thread. It took me two days and I stayed up until 2 am!!!! Holy cow it's good stuff though. I really can't believe this box is still going. It's unbelievable people are paying for this stuff.

I seriously am more appreciative of all the legit beauty subs now. I have a whole new level of appreciation of them. I've had a few good laughs thinking about BB, ipsy, GB, or SS acting like this owner does, putting out personal information, attacking forum posters, plagerizing, changing the price of the sub every month. It's insane.

Man, I feel old.  My first bulletin board was after the World Wide Web was created but before it was opened up for everyone to use -- and before AOL for anything other than DOS existed and about a month before HTML DTD 1.1 happened.  HTML wasn't really even a thing back then.  That bulletin board was unofficially housed on my university's servers.  It was Unix-based, and you had to use Telnet to access it.  *Everything* was text-based (as far as my hardcore nerd friends -- and these were people who ran the computer labs at a major university -- were concerned, there was no such thing as a website), and standard modems were 2400 baud.  I still remember my friend Brain *freaking out* when he saw my blazing fast new 5600 baud modem.  We had at least progressed to modems in computers rather than cradle modems at that point, although I did have friends who still used the cradle kind since they already had them and weren't willing to spend hundreds of dollars on a new one.  Usenet was a *huge* thing since the web was still such a baby that hardly anyone did anything with because it was still all text-based, and we knew how to use Usenet already.  I don't think I actually went to a website until 1994 or 1995 because they just weren't A Thing back then.  

(But, yeah, compared to by bbs friends, I'm still a baby:  One friend I met on that board was actually working in the computer lab that _War Games_ was filmed in at the time it was filmed.  To this day, we joke that Dale was an extra.  I spent *epic* amounts of time online in that lab fall and winter quarters when I was living in the dorms in college before I got a computer of my own spring quarter since it was a whole block and a half from my dorm, had free printing, and was open 24/7.  Man, I miss the ACC.  And those computer labs in general.  And UWBB.  And, okay, 1992-94 in general.)

 

[zadidoll]

LOL See you pre-date me by a few years but not by much because my first computer had a 2400 baud modem! LOL The "good ol' days". LOL
