Dixie Longate peddles plastic as America's funniest Tupperware Lady

Someone at Amway is very jealous, because fast-talkin', Southern drawlin' Dixie Longate (né Kris Andersson) has turned catalog sales into a small empire. It's mostly thanks to some hilarious shtick, the mouth of a sailor and a surprisingly thorough product knowledge in her plastic extravaganza, Dixie's Tupperware Party.

In her one-woman interactive comedy show, starting Wednesday in Fort Worth's McDavid Studio, Dixie reveals her sordid past, what with three dead ex-husbands and three children home alone in a trailer in Mobile, Ala. Stints in and out of prison keep her grounded and streetwise. But it's her genuine passion for those burpable bowls that has made the Tupperware HQ take notice since she began selling nearly a decade ago. After her first year, she landed in the top 20 of national sales and hasn't ever dropped out of it. Twice, she was the No. 1 Tupppersalesperson in the nation.
