Synopsis
A veteran of the LA punk scene, the world was wowed when Phranc came out as an "All-American Jewish lesbian folk singer" in the 1980s. Phranc's looks deceive her. She appears to be more of a '50s teen criminal than a feminist folkie, so it's surprising when this rather tough-looking woman busts out with cheery acoustic ditties. Phranc's applied her brand of genderfuck to a new, equally surprising passion: Tupperware. Sporting flat-top, 7 inch jean cuffs and a polka -dot tie, Phranc is the freakiest Tupperware lady ever. She opens each Tupperware Home Paty (THP) with a Phrancified Tupperware song to roomfulls of hipsters hungry for Spin-and -Saves. Her quest is the Jubilee, a national gathering to honor crackerjack Tupperware sales ladies. Here she collects her finest memories. Her zeal for her product seems less fanatical as you watch. Tupperware has a vintage feel that fits Phranc's persona, and the THP community carries gender-role baggage ripe for infiltration by a Bad Boy with a gee-tar.
