Not Cleta’s “Best Year Ever”
Written by Frosty Rose
The recurring theme of Mary Kay directors is “Best [whatever] Ever!” Cleta Colson-Eyre, fearless leader of Cleta’s Cheetahs claimed 2025 as her BYE BYE (Best Year Ever) year.
If you’ve been here for more than five minutes, you’ll have already guessed. 2025 was not, in fact, Cleta’s BYE BYE year. In fact, if you look at the last 12 years or so, her results look like a lackluster yo-yo. Surely she should be making progress by now, right? 40 years in, and all she has to show for it is the same results as always.
But maybe that’s just the Negative Nelly in me talking. Because Cleta’s sure spinning a different tale. Just keep going. Just don’t quit. Next year will be better. Focus on the positive. Look at how much you’ve grown in the process. Blah blah blah.
Lather, rinse, repeat. 2026 will be her BYE BYE year since she and her unit didn’t measure up in 2025. Or maybe, just maybe, she’ll finally wise up and say BYE BYE to this loser of a company and its faux opportunity that does nothing but bleed people dry and spit them out.

Cleta, Cleta, Cleta. Hang it up.
Once you’re in so long, it’s hard to do. It’s still worth it.
Any company that lets you take double credit can’t be taken seriously.
In those 40 years, Cleta poured a LOT of money into the coffers of Mary Kay, and into the pockets of her up-lines. She worked tirelessly to promote the Company and to search out, recruit, and train new sales-force members…on her own time and her own dime.
40 years, and no end in sight. Gotta keep workin’.
When the end does come, there won’t be a retirement package or pension from Mary Kay. The trips will stop, and the pink car will disappear from the driveway.
Oh, well.

So many Cletas in Mary Kay. Thanks to Pink Truth and the internet not very many new Cletas joining the pack. The bathtub is draining faster than it can be refilled.
So bye bye year meaning..? Bye bye to director because she’s becoming a national? If that’s the case she doesn’t have enough years to actually make a decent retirement. Unless she’s younger than I thought she was.
Even if she was 18 when she signed up, that would make her 58 now. Certainly not old, but, yeah, too old to earn any kind of decent NSD payout.
On the flipside, a regular consultant or director can slave away FOREVER, like that one lady who retired in her 90s!!!!!!!!!
BYE = Best Year Ever
Oh that is so goofy
