"Ultra Brow Brush-On is the Secret" the ad read in 1965, and a new word for Beautiful was coined by Maybelline.
So when I graduated I drove my blue and white hard top 57 Chevy straight up to Unk-Ile's and asked him point blank if I could be a Maybelline Model. He said I certainely had the the eyes, the personality,
and the talent, but, that if he let me have such a special position it would cause jealousy with the rest of the girls in the family. "But, Sharrie," he said, "if you go to college and get a degree in Marketing I will open every door for you!"
Did I take my great uncle's advise, knowing he had the power to take me straight to the top of the ad game? What do you think? What would you have done?
