Seen a little pink car in town lately? Mary Kay independent sales director Ann-Louise Stonestreet has recently been seen in Nyngan, Bourke and Cobar in her pink company car and has been announced as the current winner of the Orana Regional Business Excellence Award for Best Home-based Business.
This regional award recognises excellence in a home-based business in the Orana region that displays outstanding entrepreneurship and management skills.
The award encompasses entries from nine shires between Mudgee and Bourke.
Mrs Stonestreet says she is thrilled that her business has been recognised and considers it an honor she shares with other Mary Kay beauty consultants and her clients.
“I believe it is imperative in a rural area to emphasise that geographical distance does not mean social or business isolation,” Mrs Stonestreet said.
“Western NSW is a fabulous place to live, work and raise a family because of its forward thinking and friendly people.”
Mrs Stonestreet’s Mary Kay career began as the result of the severe drought which acutely affected the family’s 4000-acre farming property 20km south west of Narromine. When making her decision to go back into the workforce it was important for her to protect the priviledge of raising her children and continue to be available as the ‘farm slave’ – preserving her family’s farming way of life.
“Like many women, having a young family, working on the farm and being out of the workforce for many years, the jobs available were limited,” she said.

I guess I never realized that Mary Kay sold in Australia, but why not. It would be interesting to know what kind of PINK car they give away there. Also … is it still pink Cadillac’s in the USA or did they choose an alternative more fuel efficient car. Because we know that Mary Kay is environmentally conscious.

Miss Masters —
I don’t know personally but from what I’ve read they still do the caddy but they offer more than one type of car. The recipient gets to choose. On top of that I think they can also choose something other than pink.
