Last May, I attended a Tupperware party. I know what you’re thinking, BORING - who goes to Tupperware parties anymore! Well this is hands-down the most entertaining home party I’ve every attended.
Meet Kay Sedia, a cross-dressing Tupperware salesperson that was a hit for about 40 women (Maria sure has a lot of friends that actually show for her parties!) on Friday night. These parties are all the rage in Orange County – even Frank Mickadeit of the Orange County Register has attended one; and he was so excited at the prospect I recall he talked it up in his column for a week or two prior… So I wasn’t going to miss this for anything!
It’s been, I don’t know, maybe 8 years since I attended a Tupperware party and it was time to replace some of the items I have. They make quality products – heck your Tupperware can outlive you – haven’t you seen Tupperware at garage sales or that your mom has that you remember from childhood? If anything you replace it because the colors are reminiscent of a bygone era.
Arriving at the party fashionably late due to the necessary pre-party libation (my special concoction for the occasion: pomegranate limeade martinis), Karen and I fit right into the lively group who had been enjoying Maria’s strong-enough-to put-hair-on-your-bosom party punch. My curiosity was peaked when one of the guests told me she saw a chubby guy with a beard arrive earlier and he was upstairs shaving as we spoke. I was skeptical and thought maybe it was an “assistant”.
Well, she was right, and Quesadilla, with big hair, bold make-up and a gold apron, introduced herself and kept us laughing with her “chica” flavored, brazen humor injected with off-color product hints and real product numbers to assist us in marking our order forms. Best Tupperware party I’ve ever been to and that girl can sell – I think the party total for our hostess, Maria, was $1,000+. That’s a whole lotta Tupperware!!!
I’m thinking of booking a party on a Friday night in May, and you’re all invited. Kay Sedia comes from Hollywood and I have to guarantee 30 guests for him to make the trip. So let me know by commenting below. Thanks 
P.S. I’m donating most of my “earnings” to Kara Noel who I recently helped organize her pantry and NEEDS Tupperware storage containers for her pantry and all the crafting supplies she uses to make stuff for her blog “Eli’s Lids“.

Sounds like FUN, count me in
I went to one of these in “Money Town” a couple years ago. It was a lot of fun. I can’t remember now but I think his/her name was Chris. Really fun. I’d love to come to your party if it ends up being on a date when I can.

I have never been interested in attending tupperware parties. You’d think that a huge foodie like myself would live for stuff like that, but I share not interest. However… if we had a host like the cross dressing beauty, Quesadilla.. oh dear, it would take the strength of ten wrestlers to keep me away.
