Congrats to Kandi for tapping into a BILLION dollar industry. Erotic toys and accessories will always sell, and expanding into homes sales, she’s getting into that “Pleasure Party” “Mary Kay” “Pampered Chef” type money that will bring in millions of dollars for her company for a loooong time. This young lady is setting her self up to be WEALTHY, not fake reality show rich like most of the women on these shows that really don’t have a lot.
