From an in-depth
interview with The TupperDiva(TM)
Crystal
Wave: You've been a registered TupperDiva(TM) for many years. In fact, you won
the Ms. Tupperware® USA pageant several months ago, didn't you?
TupperDiva(TM):
Yes, I did. I trained very hard for that and I'm glad that my perseverance paid
off.
CW:
What kind of training did you do? A special diet? Extra hours at the gym?
TD: Actually,
I went on a Tupperware® collecting binge and bought everything in sight. I now
officially have the largest collection of Tupperware® and Tupperware® related
merchandise in North America.
CW:
What kind of pageant is that?
TD: Listen,
you run your pageants your way and we'll run them ours.
CW:
Yes, well, is the tiara you're wearing from the pageant?
TD: Certainly
not. This is my TupperDiva(TM) special occasion tiara. It's a little fancier
than the TupperDiva(TM) everyday wear tiara I wear to dust and go to the store.
CW:
This is very fascinating.
TD: Yes, I'm
sure. The world of the TupperDiva(TM) holds many mysteries for the common man
and woman.
CW:
Could you explain?

TD: Well,
for instance, I began doing special "Meet and Greet" sessions at Tupperware®
parties but had to end that when the crowds became too unruly and mobbed me.
CW:
What was the worst situation?
TD: My fans
were rushing towards me and a melee ensued and my arm was fractured. But I took
it in stride and was very gracious -- that is what being a TupperDiva(TM) is
all about.
CW:
I had no idea your life is so difficult.
TD: I'm sure
you don't. I've encountered many difficulties and setbacks in my days as TupperDiva(TM).
For all practical purposes, I've been banned from Ebay. Those jerks. And I don't
care what they say -- it's not against the law to try to corner the market on
vintage Tupperware®. I've got my lawyer working on this as we speak, but those
stupid anti-trust laws don't apply to Tupperware®.
CW:
So you've got legal problems?
TD: Just a
few. I mean, when you're the TupperDiva(TM), it's natural for people to become
jealous and try to destroy you. But my empire shall not fall so easily!
CW:
Empire?
TD: I mean...my
reign as TupperDiva(TM).
CW:
Yes, well...How do you keep track of all your Tupperware®.
TD: Oh, my.
That's a very good question. It took some time, but I finally worked out a very
detailed archival system. You see, every piece of Tupperware® has a manufacturing
number. And I've logged every piece into my very special proprietary database.
I had to have a program created specifically for me and my collection. And it's
got more security features than Fort Knox.
CW:
You spare no expense...
TD: Absolutely
not. There is nothing too expensive for my babies.
CW:
Where do you store all of the Tupperware®?
TD: I have
a 20,000 sq. foot warehouse.
CW:
Where?
TD: That is
very privileged information. If I shared that, it might mean the end of my empire...I
mean, reign.
CW:
Anything else you'd like to add?
TD: Just my credo. I've been collecting for a very long time. Some say I'm a bit maniacal about the whole thing. But Tupperware® is not something that you love a while and then throw away. It's a love deeper and more passionate than anything most people will know. My credo, my Tupperware® coat of arms if you will, is: Tupperware® is a way of life!
