With a unisex name like Corey, I’m often the brunt of misguided marketing campaigns. I get women’s catalogs from Saks & Neimans, or special offers from Victoria’s Secret. My favorite is free samples in the mail of feminine napkins. Their über-secret computer database sees Corey as a default female name, and the rest is history.As an Office Manager, I am usually inundated with calls/mail from businesses trying to solicit office supply sales from my company. Today, I received a particularly fantastic piece of temptation from a company that has been trying to seduce me into a sale for quite some time: A Free Ladies Business Tote with my first $29 order (a tote valued at $59!! – as if!)
Yup, having a lady name will get you this fabulous pseudo-Coach knock off (made in China, no doubt by some child laborer who gets paid in sand dollars).

Admittedly, it IS tempting for me to place my first $29 order just so I can get this fabulous lady-bag to carry my MacBook and man accessories in a nice and tidy manner.
Do you think I should place my first order?

It must be me. I would associate the name with a guy.
P.S. Don't encourage them. DO NOT BUY THE BAG.
Omigosh...YES! And buy one for me while you're at it!
If you get it, you must call it a "murse."
Much more manly.
@Bob Good one! I'll have to remember that.
You only have to pay $29 for this wonderful gift? Wow...
Although, I have a feeling that in the long run you will be inundated with many, many more 'treats' such as this!
Girl, I say save the money and use it towards the Victoria Sercet catalog. You look buff, so I recommend the Angel Lace bra in a C cup!!! Enjoy, and be in good health!
"Hot price", "hot savings!"
Must be menopause
It makes me wonder what would start showing up in my mail if I changed my name from Angela to Angelo? MMMMMMM?
Buy it! Buy it! Buy it!
How could you not? You need it for the Maccessories! (-:
I get that with the name "Kyle" too. I think it is cool. If you want a lady bag, get one Corey, you have the fierce personality to carry it off. Go girl, go! :)
