Urban Peak provides services to 2,600 homeless youth every year--many of them gay or bisexual.
 

“With all of the successes around equality that we have seen just in the past year, it is difficult to imagine that today a young person is coming home to his bags packed, and in that most vulnerable moment of finally having come out to his parents, is asked to leave home," Dan Hanley, Urban Peak's Director of Development and Public Affairs, has said. "40% of the estimated 1.7 million youth experiencing homelessness identify as LGBTIQ. At Urban Peak, we provide complete and absolute safety for these youth, most of whom have experienced levels of trauma that would shock you.”

Denver to Host World Premiere of Dixie Longate's New Show!


Dixie Longate, America’s favorite Tupperware lady, launches the World Premiere of her new show Never Wear A Tube Top While Riding a Mechanical Bull (and 16 Other Things I Learned While I Was Drinking Last Thursday) here in the Mile High City at the Denver Center for the Performing Arts.


Put on your cowboy boots and walk into her favorite honkytonk as she shares lessons learned after a hard night of drinking. What do a jeweled crown, a cardboard cutout of Julie Andrews and a box of moon pies have in common? Spend the night with Dixie and find out as she swaps her Tupperware bowls for a mechanical bull. 

“Three things that work perfect together: Denver, honkytonks and ME! I couldn't think of a better place to launch my new show. When DCPA said yea, I almost had to put down my drink from excitement,” says Dixie. “Clutching my legs into the sides of a mechanical bull and riding it for dear life is even more challenging in the Mile High city. It's like a late Christmas present to both you and me.”

Dixie Longate and her Tupperware are here for you

By Drew Wilson

The delightful Dixie Longate is back in Denver and you're all invited to her Tupperware Party at the Garner Galleria Theatre.

I had the chance to chat with the fast-talking, child neglecting ex-con-cum -Tupperware superstar about the Presidential election and what Colorado's recent legalization of marijuana means for food container sales. In the process, I also found out what makes the normally placid pitchwoman baby-punching mad!

Read on to find out.


Drew: When you attend President Obama's inauguration, which piece of Tupperware will you gift him and his family with and why?  
Dixie: I think every president needs something to take the edge off after a hard day of policy making and Oval Office meetings so I think the Tupperware Corkscrew, number 1254, is a perfect presidential choice.  And it is so easy to use that even the kids can pop open a bottle and serve everyone at the Thanksgiving table this year.


What about the Romneys? Is there anything Tupperware-related that could lessen the sting of Mitt's Election Day loss?
Well, I know that the Jello Shot Caddy is perfect to make the day seem a wee bit brighter.  I bring mine to church with me all the time and it is guaranteed to make everyone join their hands together and sing Kumbaya!

Colorado just legalized marijuana. Do you anticipate this having any effect on local Tupperware sales?  
As a matter of fact, I am putting together a "Happy Toquing Set" that will include three Modular Mate containers to put your herb in, your Doritos in the second one, and a bunch of them goldfish crackers in the third.

For a small additional charge, you can also get the Mini that you can put them chocolate covered pretzels in because salty, sweet, and herb is a great combination, I have been told.

What was the Tupperware conference like this year? Are you number one again? Is everybody jealous of your fame and fortune? 
The Jubilee Convention is an amazing event every single year.  It is like the Oscars for Tupperware.  I wasn't #1, but I did get to see one of my very best friends get that honor and it was amazing.  Trust me, when you get onstage at the Jubilee and hear everyone screaming and cheering for you, it is unlike anything you have ever experienced.  Everyone is running their own business and we all get appreciated for what we do.  I never feel like people are jealous of me, because there are so many truly amazing and successful people at Tupperware.  Heck, I'm in awe of everyone that I see get up on stage with a tumbler in their hand singing the Tupperware Song!  It is like heaven on a biscuit!

What is the secret to your Tupperware success?  
I think the thing that makes myself and any Tupperware lady successful is that we never forget that, at the root of everything, we get to party for a living.  As long as the parties are fun, we are having a ball and making a success out of our business.  I just wish more people had that philosophy. Every time you go to work, think of it as a fun thing, as a party. It would make the world a far more fun place.  Smiling and giggling is underrated.  We all need to do it more.

I have a confession to make, instead of Tupperware I use a couple of old margarine tubs and some weird, random no-name containers with mismatched lids. And all of it is at least 10 years old. 

Am I really missing out by not having actual Tupperware? And if so, what are the must-haves for a sexy, single guy on the go like myself?   
You make me want to punch a baby in the face when I hear things like that.

There is absolutely no substitute for the fine quality food storage solutions that Tupperware has to offer. We have so much innovative crap and things that are perfect for an oddly single man like yourself who hasn't found the right girl yet to steal your heart and stock your kitchen.

You seem like you might need the Meat Marinater to put your big thick cuts of meat into and rub the marinade on them.  You definitely will want the Can Opener, which opens cans with no sharp edges so you wont be able to cut yourself on those lonely nights when you have no one to cuddle with.

And let's not forget the Forget Me Nots where you can store half a lime in, which makes the perfect garnish to shove into a beer for when your sturdier female friends come over with their tool belts to fix the sink that got all clogged up from the food that you ended up having to throw away from the imitation containers that don't have an air-tight, liquid-tight seal like Tupperware does. I'm here for you.

Is there anything else you'd like to say to readers of MileHighGayGuy.com? 
Remember, The Tupperware Party isn't just for the lady friends.  It is for everyone that wants to come, laugh, have a great time, drink a little, and get some fine quality food storage crap.  Plus it makes a great gift to give to your momma to say "Thank you for putting up with me while I was growing up because I truly was a little shit!"

DIXIE’S TUPPERWARE PARTY plays the Garner Galleria Theatre November 7-December 30. Tickets are now on sale at denvercenter.org  or by calling 303.893.4100.
