[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sorry PP, I disagree with you and echo what the other posters have said.  I  get invited to at least one trunk show a month.  They're always billed as some sort of party or girl's night, but they're not.  A party is an event held for the entertainment of the host and her guests.  A trunk show- no matter what it's called- is an event held with the purpose of selling a certain product.  Most people I know hate being invited to these events and only attend because they feel obligated.  I personally resent it when a so-called-friend of mine uses our friendship to try to sell me something.  I find the whole direct sales thing to be extremely tacky.  If I want jewelry, I know where to buy it.  I don't need someone pushing it on me.

While not everyone may agree with me, there are plenty of people who do.  I have known several women who have done this kind of thing (including 2 Stella Dot reps).  Trust me, their friends all complain about being sales targets and all say how distasteful the whole thing is.  I would think the little cash you could make would not be worth alienating some of your friends and acquaintances.

Yes, thank you for saying this.  I have been invited to many of these time of "parties" and hate feeling obligated to purchase an item just because I am there.  It is tacky to use friends like this.[/quote]
Then don't go when you are invited respond no..the friend won't care if you don't come..Why on earth would you go if you feel like this? Ug!!
