I am just starting this as a stub, because she is one of the judges on American Inventor on ABC, and I wanted to know more about her, but couldn't find anything on wikipedia or elsewhere. Thanks!

Failed the Entrance Exam to Law School

To my knowledge, American law schools do not have entrance exams. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.49.222.87 (talk) 04:20, 3 June 2010 (UTC)Reply

I also came to this page to comment on that line - there is a nationwide aptitude test for the application process (the LSAT), but you cannot fail it. You receive a score between 120 and 180 based on percentile rank, but there is no pass/fail threshold. 74.105.2.12 (talk) 17:58, 16 August 2010 (UTC)Reply

Sara Blakely attends the Time magazine 100 influential people awards

edit

There is a great picture of Sara Blakely here: [1] "Tuesday’s event to celebrate Time Magazine’s 100 Most Influential People in the World issue was packed with moguls, leaders and newsmakers including Jeremy Lin, Timothy Cardinal Dolan, Twitter’s Jack Dorsey, Harvey Weinstein, and Rihanna — but it was Blakely whom Abedin, wife of Anthony Weiner, most wanted to meet before she and Clinton left the Time Warner Center. An event organizer was dispatched to Blakely’s table to ask her to come over, and the Spanx sensation was soon seen in deep conversation with Clinton." — FYI, Charles Edwin Shipp (talk) 12:11, 27 April 2012 (UTC)Reply

Career section needs additional sourcing

Footnote 9

edit

The article given as the source in footnote 9 - I read the transcript of the video, which is also in the article. It does not mention the 'fact' about giving people a cheque if they would go to shops and ask for Spanx. No mention of it at all. 82.71.44.128 (talk) 16:36, 10 December 2022 (UTC)Reply
