[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Soliciting business from 11yo kids is in shockingly poor taste.  I would probably even be okay if the aunt (or whomever) threw a makeover party (donated supplies from whatever line she reps) and then enclosed an contact form with a FREE goody bag.

But having a party purely to make money off of kids and likely hoping to get business from their parents?  That's unbelievably awful.  [/quote]

Yes! If the aunt wants to sell things, she should have the birthday girl's mother buy one thing (i.e. lip gloss or nail polish) for each girl. After all, she's the mother, and normal mothers who give goody bags at bday parties don't charge the guests for them.

OP, it's probably for the best that your friend blew up. Also, imagine how she would've reacted if she had sent her DD to the party and discovered that you knew about the scheme all along without warning anyone. Though you don't like this type of confrontation, it was bound to happen at some point! Better now than at or after the party when her daughter is potentially begging in front of everyone for the eye shadow that MK Creepo just put on her face--that would have caused an even bigger "scene".[/quote]
