Full Description
Androgynous punk-rocker-turned -folksinger Phranc defines herself as “the all-American Jewish lesbian surfin’ Tupperware lady.” It’s no mere gimmick: when she decides to settle down to a family-oriented lifestyle with her partner and daughter after 20 years of international touring, Phranc finds herself fascinated by the prospect of selling Tupperware. The very name of the legendary manufacturer of kitchen aids evokes giggles of recognition throughout suburbia. But it’s all very serious business to Phranc, who aspires to move a quarter of a million dollars worth of the stuff, putting her own special spin of personal empowerment on the marketing campaign.
