Aunt Barbara

[estatesale_gary]

For years, my friend Rob in NY has been making these crazy videos with his friend Bobby. Bobby has created a character called Aunt Barbara (based on his Aunt Barbara).

Anyway, Aunt Barbara has found her niche. He/she is the #1 Tupperware consultant in the country. He puts on Tupperware parties and is booked through 2010. He was just featured in the July 7th issue of New York Magazine (http://nymag.com/news/intelligencer/breaking/57747/) and was just interviewed for a segment on MSNBC.
Take a look at this clip - Aunt Barbara and Tupperware.

Dear God I need a vacation. It's like someone has surgically removed every brain cell in America's body.

"Dear God I need a vacation. It's like someone has surgically removed every brain cell in America's body."

C'mon, what's wrong here? A guy who wasn't doing any better than okay tapped into an alter ego, put on a dress, and is making good money selling to people while they're laughing.

The housewives who are being sold to are fine with it, Tupperware is fine with it and people are becoming interested in putting him on TV. It seems to me that something very right is going on, that America is getting over its silly self just a little bit, starting to let people be whatever they need to be to have a life they can enjoy.

This guy's success story was inconceivable when I was his age. Now, it isn't, and I think that's great.

"Just makes us mad....We didn't think of it first?....lol"

Just remember two things:

It was a brave man who ate the first oyster.

And an even braver one who faced a bunch of Long Island housewives offering a parody of their dress, looks and behavior.

Funniest guy ever!!! I love it when he calls Tupperware "Plastic crap"....Bill in Az.....

I LOVE TUPPERWARE,It's the utmost in the worl dof plastic kitchenware,
and Aunt Barbara is a real riot.
Sad thing is I own at least two of every tupperware product on her table, and I know the exact tupperware product name and color for all of my Tupperware, of which I have at least 200 pieces.

I have sold and sell some now (Tupperware) but I think that Aunt Barbara is a hoot and wish her the best.I just think that it is awsum that he has found a way to make money selling Tupperware that is fun and If I were in her area I would be honored to be in her unit and have her as my manager.I know that it just makes some people in Tupperware mad that a man in drag is number one.If Memphis wasn't so stuck up hell I would sell it as Miss Bitty. But that is what you get when you think outside of the box.

Sandy...

you got to love NY women with that accent and attitude...I have relatives from Long Island....and I could hear them now....

"I would never go down South, people sound SO FAULKEN STOOPID when they TAWK!.....lol

I give Aunt Barbara credit....I would a have a party here if she was closer....none of these gals are worth the time of day, maybe thats why they can't sell as much.....makes you think about if someone like this worked for MARY KAY, and could make themselves look better than any one else there...

example would be Maybelline, they take a pretty girl and add makeup and she's beautiful......you want to impress me....take Mom's Mabley and turn her into a runway model, now your talking makeup that can do wonders!!!.....try selling SNOW CONES in Alaska, or a heater in the Bahamas, then you're selling something!

Aunt Barbara has got it going ON....YOU GO GURRRRL!....

maybe she'll have a sitcom soon, like Marlo Thomas in "That Girl!", but we'll call it "GET HER!".....lol....they put other idiots out there who aren't worth a damn, we need something new....

Believe me, I'm very familiar with Lawn Gyland, even though I'm living in the South. I am especially familiar with Five Towns (Hewlett, Cedarhurst, Lawrence, Inwood and Woodmere), a.k.a. "Land of the Big Hair," because I worked for someone from Hewlett in the '80s. I will say only that everyone else I've met from Five Towns is nicer than she was.

Take Aunt Barbara's voice up two octaves, add a heaping helping of corrosive anger and a dash of profanity, and you have the voice that ruled my life for six years.
