Airport Control Parades!

Not sure what you’re after. Not got anything specifically but I do love their stuff! I buy kids shampoo and conditioner in bulk as its really cheap and very good! There was a woman at work a few years ago that used 2 order stuff for everyone as she liked the little old lady that was the Avon rep! We used 2 parade around the control room in the free stuff they sent like night gowns and bags etc! The men thought we were mad!

Edward Scissorhands

i don’t have a particular memory, as we don’t get Avon round here much, but i love the scene with all the Avon stuff in edward scissorhands, if that helps at all. to this day i get disappointed if i see an Avon rep NOT wearing a little lavender hat…

My Grandmother and her Avon Lady

My memory of Avon is of my grandmother getting the catalogue every month from the Avon lady. When I was at her house, she would show me what she was ordering and then say, oh look, it’s not quite enough to get the free gift or similar, and get me to choose something for myself ‘to make up the difference’. Even when I was at uni she’d still get me to choose something on my visits home, a little treat. I still sometimes miss getting that catalogue and seeing what new products they had and I still love buying makeup even though I rarely wear any!

My ex once talked me into buying some
stuff from his colleague. As a thank you I got the most amazing cream cheese marzipan muffin in the world. Begged for the receipe, got it and lost it. All that stays is the memory of that oh so delicious something that came with Avon…

Avon sells toys?

I was always fascinated by our Avon Lady. This 70 year old woman would come over, sit at our kitchen table and talk with my mother about cream. I would look through the catalogue too and never understand why she didn’t sell toys. I think I confused her with Consumer’s Distributing.

The Dream – The Truth

When I was little I remember an American film and there was an Avon type lady in it…It was all so glamorous.

I loved the thought of a woman coming to your house and showing you makeup tips etc. I remember saying that when I grew up I wanted that lady to come round – she was beautiful.

Then the Avon lady did come round to our house when I was about 13. Gutted. She didn’t even stay and show us any makeup! She just left a magazine and said she’d be back in a couple of weeks!! … Read more

Still that little magazine is on of the highlights of my month now!

Hide and Seek

The Avon lady was someone we knew a bit who lived further down the road. One time when the she called my mum was so embarrassed that she didn’t want to buy anything that she hid and I had to tell her that Mum wasn’t in. TRUE DAT.

Burly hardcoe SAS guys

I use “Skin So Soft” an Avon product used by the SAS to keep mosquitos at bay, Avon are not allowed to claim this on there product due to some legal reason. The stuff stinks like your almost deceased aunty, pungent sickly shite. Can you imagine burley hardcore SAS guys running around afghanistan all tooled up smelling like a bingo down the day centre!
