Default American Experience: Tupperware

Interesting documentary. It's mostly about Brownie Wise, who
invented the Tupperware Party and made the company millions, then
got dumped on her ass and nobody ever heard of her again.

Oh, and empowering women in the 50's and 60's when business was
booming and men didn't want their wives to work. Tupperware parties
kept them in the kitchen and fit the Happy Homemaker profile, so it
was acceptable to the husbands.

I had a live-in girlfriend who went to a Mary Kay event, and was disgusted
by their philosophy. When I told her that I knew what Mary Kay was all
about, she was angry with me for not warning her, but if I would have,
she would have been angry with me for being critical of something she
wanted to check out, and would have accused me of being controlling.
It was no-win for me either way. Compared to Mary Kay, Tupperware
was pretty benign.

You could have just been empathetic - "Oh, that's terrible. The
nerve those *******s. I'm sorry you had to endure that.". Really
lay it on. Then maybe you could have gotten that anal sex you were
always seeking.

volkswagen. So, she ran to mary kay. You're still whining.

I tried out a Mary Kay Stratocaster once. It was painted in pink. Mary Kay Pink. Very cool! OTOH, a Mary Kay Strat had nothing to do with a Mary Kaye Strat. Mary Kaye was a Hawaiian lady that had a popular lounge act back in the 50's. Mary Kaye might have even started the Las Vegas style lounge act. Not bad for a humble Hawaiian. I think the Mary Kaye Strat was one of the first artist model guitar put out by Fender.

Yeah, I'm sure Mary Kaye was right up there with Eric Clapton and
Yngwie Malmsteen when Fender first introduced their signature
guitars in 1988. The Mary Kaye model didn't come out until almost
two decades later.

You should have guessed instead of thought.

You guessed wrong - as usual. The current price of a 50's MK Strat is between 30 and 50 thousand bucks.

You have a reading comprehension problem (just like with the Pixel
Go Chromebook yesterday). And you're being purposely obtuse about
the real facts.

The signature Mary Kaye Fender didn't come out until 2004. The
Guitar Mary Kaye was seen holding (only twice), was the first fender
strat in that particular color scheme, but it wasn't tied to any
individual, and it didn't even belong to her - it was just loaned to
her by the president of Fender for the photo shoots. She otherwise
played D¢Angelicos for all her acts.

https://www.fender.com/articles/gear...e-stratocaster

The Fender Signature/Artist models didn't even come out until 1988.
And like I said, Eric Clapton and Yngwie Malmsteen were the first
ones produced.

Now go back to eating that happy hour rumaki and poi and singing
"Tiny Bubbles" with your ukulele at the karaoke dive bar in Waipahu,
you fake POS.
