Pink Cadillac Alert
As many as 221 pink Cadillacs could intensify competition for parking spaces near the Capitol on Monday.
Beauty consultants, sales directors and national sales directors for Dallas-based Mary Kay Cosmetics are being urged to flock to Austin from all over Texas to witness history: The Legislature's first-ever declaration of a "Mary Kay Day."
And according to company spokeswoman Crystal Valletta, 221 of the more than 1,000-person strong sales force in Texas now have keys to the coveted pink Cadillac.
"We've wanted all 221 of those to come," she said. "We're hoping for a big showing."
Ms. Valletta said that because of security considerations, only 2 of the pink Caddies will be permitted to enter the Capitol grounds. They'll be used in a photo shoot with House Speaker Tom Craddick, R-Midland, at the north entrance.
