Hey Hookers,
I am more exhausted than a Mall Santa Claus after a visit from 75 kids from Juvenille Hall on December 24th. And probably just as sticky. I have been doing back to back shows and traveling and packing and unpacking. Lordy, sometimes I miss prison cause it was just easier to stay in one place for awhile.
But I dont want you to think that I am not having fun!!! Now that my first stop of Tucson, AZ is under my belt, I am starting to get used to this all. I had a blast in beuatiful Tucson. Hotter than the inner thighs of a Russian sprinter in the 2008 Games, I was happy for any air conditioning I could get.
Well all of that has changed now as I come to the great MidWest and experince what a real October is like. It is cold and a bit rainy and filled with Pumpkins as the next big Holiday draws closer.
And tonight marks my big opening here at the Civic Center’s Temple Theatre. I have 2 glorious weeks here and I am ready to enjoy every single second of it.
And as I now have a little more time, you can rest assured that I am going to be here much more often updating this blog with my adventures.
Today was a day filled with Press interviews, and kind of a really fun milestone for me. I was in the car going from radio interveiw to TV interview and I heard the ad for the show on the radio. Well, I had to move my hand back into the passenger seat and squeal a little when I heard it. The driver was a little sad at that moment, but it was his job to pay attention to the road anyway. But here I was listening to people talk about the show on the radio. I felt like Carrie Underwood must have felt the first time she heard her single, “Jesus take the wheel, cause I am way too drunk to drive” on the radio. It was a truly speical moment for me.
And it happened right here in Des Moines.

If I comment on 75% of your blogs thus far – I think it makes me some kind of Tupperware Lady stalker…. or just really bored at work…. or, perhaps, a little both….. definitely a little of both….
burping it for you…

And what an opening it was!! I think Dixie is gonna be taking over Des Moines, and we’ll have to change our name to Des Dixieland (Dixie taught me that means of the Dixie). It had a ring to it! I like it!

Eight girlfriends (not the lesbian kind) and I traveled from Kansas City to see this gem. We had a great time laughing ourselves silly. Please come to KC. All our friends want to see Dixie–obviously they’re not prudes.

Hey Dixie! It was wonderful to have you in Tucson! My friends and I had a blast with you on stage.
Good luck with the rest of the tour. Hope you can make it back to Tucson again!

Dixie,
My girlfriend and I loved your show in Des Moines. We are still laughing at some of the great one-liners. We like to look at each other and say “you are a whole” in “Dixie” accent. Thank you for coming to our town.

Gina B,
sorry for the delay, but I really appreciate your kind words. I am so happy that you enjoyed the show.
Keep that Tupper-feeling deep in your heart.
I hope to see you soon
Smooches

There is nothing in Peoria on the schedule as of yet, but don’t rule it out. I am going to be schlepping my Tupperware around the country for quite some time, so it is only a matter of time before I will be there.
Stay tuned
Dixie
