Every year in downtown Dallas, toward the end of July, the Mary Kay cosmetic company holds a nationwide convention. It fills up a convention center plus several hotels. The conventioneers can best be described using estimated percentages, based upon a total of women wearing convention badges or other Mary Kay identifying marks in public.

• With a male: 10%
  • With a male who also wore a badge: 5% or less
• Wearing a dress: 95% or more
• Wearing a blazer: 50%
  • Red blazer: 25%
  • Aquamarine blazer: 25%
• Wearing at least one award badge: 50%
  • At least two: 30%
  • At least three: 20%
• Fairly attractive: 25%
• Speaks with a Southern accent: 30%
• Heavily made up: 95% or more
• Sleeps in hotel room with a cartoon of "Red Hot Rhinos Charging for Cadillacs" on the door: 10%
• Looks similar to the "Red Hot Rhino" in the cartoon: 30%

Anecdotal evidence may also be obtained in many fine Dallas eating and drinking establishments. This indicates that Mary Kay conventioneers largely:

• Do sleep four or more to a room.
• Mostly do not go to bars.
• When they do go to bars, they prefer complicated frozen drinks.
• Do not go to restaurants.
• Do bring their own food, in coolers.
• When they do go to restaurants, they bring their own teabags.
