Stop the insanity! WHET Susan Powter?

The lesbian-adjacent diet guru just kind of disappeared. Was she simply unable to follow her own catchphrase?

I’m truly scared that there will be an update!

She should at least do a dating show.

R3 = Susan, who wishes people would stop looking for her already.

Clearly someone with no life whatsoever and plenty of time on their hands is STEAMING MAD that someone didn't look for existing Susan Powter DL threads for the last two HUNDRED fucking years before posting a new one!

by Anonymousreply 10July 3, 2020 11:00 PM

So what happened to her? I am too lazy to click on the other threads.

by Anonymousreply 11July 3, 2020 11:03 PM

She's trapped forever in a DL WHET thread that keeps repeating over and over again like groundhog day.

I’m so scared to read the results - will someone just blurt it out already!

I had dinner with her many year ago. In person, she's kind of normal -- no shouting, no screaming.

by Anonymousreply 16July 3, 2020 11:18 PM

The last time I saw her was when she was a guest judge on season 3 of Drag Race, which she was actually great at.

She's probably dead by now. No one gives a fuck anyway. If this lezzie-bin interests you so much, OP, Google her or something. Wait—just to shut you the fuck up, I'll do it for you: After the success of her three books, she fired her agents and went into self-imposed exile.

There! Now will you drop it?

In Spring 1993, Susan Powter came into my first Gap, at Highland Park Village in Dallas. Susan’s main exercise studio was there at Highland Park Village. This was at the height of her fame.

She asked me to show her one size Small of every style of white T-shirt in the store. I gave her about 8 different styles, for women and men, and Susan inspected them all. She pulled and stretched them, not happy with most.

She finally bought two of the T-shirts, one men’s and one women’s. She was very focused and intense, but extremely friendly and polite.

Twenty years later on Twitter, I mentioned that day to her and she remembered everything!

What happened to Susan Powter? She became irrelevant. People got tired of her schtick.

I had friends who worked at one of the initial Whole Foods chains on trendy Lower Greenville Avenue in Dallas in the late-80's (at the time Whole Foods was considered a new, healthy alternative before they were everywhere and just another corporation).

They had stories galore about Susan coming in all the time and making all kinds of demands about her potatoes and grains and vegetables. Refusing to wait in line and demanding to see the manager, genuine diva drama non-stop from the moment she walked in the door. They all loathed her. They said she had the exact same platinum crew cut and red lipstick. She was like a local Dallas yoga spokesperson or something. This was just a year or two before she became super famous with her infomercial. When she did... they were impressed, but weren't surprised. And they never saw her again.

She admitted that, the whole time, she was a beer alcoholic. She admitted she drank some crazy amount like 24 beers per day.

Ironically, I am making vegetarian baked beans tomorrow from a recipe in her book Sober ...and Staying That Way . I call them "stop the insanity" beans and they are a family favorite.

R26, so it was the cocaine that kept her psychotic and thin at the same time?

by Anonymousreply 29July 4, 2020 12:57 AM

If all you consume is beer, it kills your appetite and you get skinny.

Any stinky pussy issues?

I waited in line behind her at a store in Seattle around 2000. She looked ratty with those dreads but wasn’t a diva.

by Anonymousreply 32July 4, 2020 1:11 AM

Didn’t her pussy stink r32?

I loved her classic disco hit "I Love the Night Life" and I thought it was cool of her to change her name and become a big infomercial diet mogul after her music career died.

by Anonymousreply 34July 4, 2020 2:17 AM

She was a mere blip on the cultural landscape.

No more relevant than Tiny Tim

Saw at Neiman-Marcus in Dallas once, with a tiny entourage. This was the height of her fame. She was coming down an escalator talking nonstop.

She took a powder.

Gap playlist guy, this is OT but my college roommate worked at The Gap in Manhasset NY and Susan Lucci came in requesting size large t-shirts for the men of AMC crew, she was going to give them as Christmas presents. The ones he showed her met her liking so she asked for one in every color but when she got to the register she asked for them gift wrapped and he said sorry, we don’t do gift wrapping here. Then she slyly smirked and said “but you could do it for ME can’t you?” and he still told her no. She didn’t have hard feelings and accepted the boxes and tissue paper he offered.

this was 1990 so i’d say they were probably the pocket tees that were in primary colors, I don’t think they had prints.
