inspired by Did Tupperware parties change the lives of women? http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-13331830
Pink Cadillac and cotton candy colored canary
Brownie Wise, sales goddess,
Rises from a Tupperware bowl like Botticelli’s Venus
In pink gabardine skirt, sensible hose and white gloves,
Brownie serves Vodka Gimlets, canapés and Swedish meatballs
Ladies leave bearing jadite green celery crispers,
Neon tumblers with sipper seal lids,
Blue doily holders and rainbow napkin rings,
Bright red juicers and Wonder Bowls
Vegetables divorced from plants,
Meat shunning its animal origins,
All living things rendered stackable
“Tupperware Everywhere” advertisements urge,
Ice boxes filled with perfectly packed pastel plastic,
Totems for an orderly life.
fresh! =)
