HOMO:burbs
Over in our lovely suburbs (Burnsville & Lake Elmo) we have some cool restaurants (Porter Creek, Chianti Grill, and Mediterranean Cruise Cafe) a decent sized mall (Burnsville Center) and a large cultural center (Burnsville Performing Arts Center).

YUP, we're talking about the Dr Marcus Bachmann, husband of tea loving presidential candidate Michelle Bachmann.

A Drag Queen that has sold over $1 million in Tupperware ?!?!
HOMO:drag
Dixie Longate has packed her carry on full of Tupperware (wouldn't you) and is bringing her hit show back to Camp. Her show is part stand up, part improve, and ...part sales pitch (you can actually buy the Tupperware from her after the show). You will never believe the (lets just say unique) ideas she has for her "alternative" uses for her Tupperware.

"As seen on Bravo TV, audiences will enjoy a night of non-stop laughter as they experience a variety of jaw-dropping vignettes inspired and torn straight from the pages of the most unforgettable celebrity tell-alls; from the “he-said, she-said” accounts of Burt and Loni... how Tiger Woods strokes his putter... Mr. T’s acting tips... the Britney Spears Diary... Justin Bieber’s backstage confessions... the re-enactment of Tommy Lee and Pamela Anderson’s courtship, to the most famous love triangle in Hollywood history- Elizabeth Taylor, Debbie Reynolds and Eddie Fisher." via
