Anyway, looks aside, the consensus in the Lounge seems to be that she wants to make a sale of her medication. The truth is, she's really more of an educator than a sales rep. I've been attending her dinner conferences and seminars for over a year, and she's always been friendly and open. This is the first time she's ever been this demonstrative.

Hell, I never got this kind of attention when I was in my 20's and 30's, either. (I'll be fifty in October). I think it's just that now that I'm in a highly-visible profession off of which the ancillary professions can make a lot of money, perceptions may have changed.
