Linda Toupin, a regular figure on Pink Truth’s front page, is at it again with her annual June shenanigans. Famous for her No Sex, No Supper Junes, she continues to beg for Mary Kay orders, even as a retired nsd, who is contractually bound to knock it off already. (For those who don’t know, the allegation is that she runs her daughter Katie Toupin’s unit because the family didn’t want to lose that income stream, while Katie pretends to be the director of the unit but instead cosplays as Candi Jenkins, a country singer.)

Linda started with this lovely post comparing your local Mary Kay consultant to girl scout goals and school fundraising. Well, at least she admitted no one actually needs MK products and only orders out of pity.

Same old, same old, Linda.

But here’s what’s new. Apparently, Ms. Toupin takes umbrage with MK Inc.’s mandated disclaimer for anyone who earns a Mary Kay car. Well, really, for anyone who plasters their Mary Kay car all over their social media. You see, in an effort to avert FCC complaints of false earnings claims, MK instituted a new rule a few years ago requiring a disclaimer, stating the truth of the matter—that “approximately 1.5% of Mary Kay Independent Beauty Consultants reach the status of Independent Sales Director.” And, “Approximately 10% of Mary Kay Independent Sales Directors earn the use of the iconic Pink Cadillac.”

There’s the plain fact. Only 0.15% of consultants will ever earn a Cadillac. That excludes the high number of directors who are paying for their Cadillac. Mary Kay will never publish those numbers, but we know from watching directors struggle to re-qualify every two years, that the number of directors regularly paying a copay on their car is likely higher than those who are actually driving free.

So, yes, Linda, this really is a necessary disclaimer. It prevents recruiters from claiming “anyone, just anyone” can earn a pink Cadillac. “All you have to do is believe in yourself!” Good to know. 99.85% of the people who join Mary Kay are lazy losers who don’t really believe in themselves.

Linda posted two different versions of her complaint, before deleting the post altogether.

In addition to blaming victims of the Pink Machine, she blames a woman who sued McDonald’s because her coffee was too hot. She remembers the story, but apparently not well enough to remember that the poor lady had third degree burns in her pelvic region, required surgery and skin grafts, and suffered lifelong harm. Or that McDonald’s had had repeated complaints about boiling coffee before this incident. Or that McDonald’s refused her initial request that only covered her medical expenses.

After our Pink Truth Super Sleuth uncovered this gem of a post, several people reminded Linda of these facts. She promptly deleted their comments.

Next, Linda asserts that recruiting someone for Mary Kay is the equivalent of buying a kid a basketball and thinking they’ll go to the NBA. Because, obviously, that’s the only reason to buy a kid a basketball. We must monetize everything these days, after all. No sense in just getting kids a toy to play with, develop community with other kids, and get some exercise. Heaven forbid.

This post didn’t stay up long. Was it because the ‘legal department’ actually did call? Or perhaps she didn’t get the overwhelming support she thought she would for her call for “common sense”? Either way, you can never truly delete anything from the internet. And we’re here to make sure this post lives on in infamy.

Speaking of the Toupins, let’s check in on Katie… er.. Elizabeth… er… Candi Jenkins, oh, whoever.

While Elizabeth Toupin (her legal name, used nowhere except as a Mary Kay director) is busily running her mom’s former unit into the ground (she seems to have missed the million-dollar unit mark again this year), her alter ego Katie has been busy reinventing herself as Candi Jenkins, an up-and-coming country singer.

Well, after a rather disastrous ending to her time with Houndmouth, who can blame her for snagging another new name? We previously reported on Candi’s hijinks, including selling lingerie and feet pics here.

So what’s new with Katie/Elizabeth/Candi? It seems that all three are incapable of moving through life without pissing everyone off or running some kind of grift. Check out this video dragging Candi’s ethics or lack thereof.

Forever grifting, Candi just finished up raising over $40k on Kickstarter for yet another crowdfunded album. She may call it a debut album, since the Candi Jenkins persona is new, but this isn’t the first time she’s raised money to record.

This was the GoFundMe she ran in 2021 when she was still performing as Katie Toupin:

And then a Kickstarter in 2023 when she was also still Katie Toupin:

And more recently, Candi collecting money for touring on GiveButter:

Like mother, like daughter, I suppose. Always out for the con.
