[...] earns a six-figure income....

A six figure income driving 50,000 miles and retailing $140,000 of sex toys? What's the wholesale cost and markup of this stuff? Something doesn't sound quite right to me.

There's so many things I could post, but I won't.

LOL...yikes now when I see those types of women in the supermarket I'll have this unfortunate visual to remind me.

I don't consider myself very puritan, but I honestly can't imagine attending a function like this. The worst thing I've ever been invited to was one of those "memories" workshops where women waste time adding tacky flourishes and sayings to their family photo albums.

From article: Brewer may feel some discomfort among her peers, but she has also made converts in town. One preacher sent her struggling couples for advice and products; one of Brewer's friends, Missy Kellebrew, estimates that nearly half the women in her Bible study group have attended a Passion Party. Brewer sees lots of schoolteachers, hairdressers and nurses from her area.

From article: During one season of good weather, she did $22,000 worth of business in a 10-day period. Women came from as far off as Searcy and Lake Village, more than two hours away....

I was thinking the same thing you were, but perhaps her income includes some sort of monetary bonus for being the highest seller in her region.

Re your post #18 - No, I don't think so because this kind of income requires local contact with people. From article:

''It's based on people coming together -- there's a blur between work and home, work and church. Life is more holistic.'' Biggart also noted that direct selling, because it happens in the home....

Almost all were married and had been since their early or mid-20's; most had children; and most went to church every Sunday, though that's not how they met: a core group plays Bunco, a dice game, once a month.

And now they play Naked Twister!

I don't think "Bunco" players necessarily go for the game you mentioned! :)

From article: But in truth, Passion Parties is one of the country's tamest, most pro-family peddlers of sexual paraphernalia. The company does a brisk business in the Bible Belt -- last year, Mississippi, Arkansas and Tennessee ranked third, fourth and ninth, respectively, in sales....
