Redheads*50 wearing Dame Edna
Down in a basement, on the 23rd of April 2012, “Hello Possums” She, He or It? Cooed. Yes it’s none other than our National Treasure, The Late? Dame Edna. It seems even “giga stars” such as Dame Edna herself have an expiration date and Barry Humphries has laid its due. Yet, her (I’m going with that) comedic value was not lost on the crowd, as some 60-70 guests held their bladders in launch of her farewell tour, “Eat, Pray and Laugh”.
Nestled in the lower basement of the Civic Underground, Dame Edna Everage dug her own grave…Literally.
Referring to one guest, Jenny, as “coloured people”, or openly reprimanding press on texting during her comedic delivery as, “bad mannered” and “common looking”… She was on fire! Even suggesting she could execute a gay marriage on stage!
Dame Edna Everage in full politically incorrect glory.
And offering the lucky couple a hotel next door that charges by the hour (simply GOLD!). You know it’s the end when your entertaining in the basement of a hotel on the corner of Goulburn and Pitt St (Sorry Edna!).
But despite the sadness of the occassion, Dame Edna Still had plenty to grin about. It’s not that she’s raking in “twice as much money” since dubbing it her last tour (as she put it), nooooo definately not!? It’s the new significate other in her life since the passing of her husband…A woman named Jenny Craig.
Ok, so Dame Edna is not becoming a Lesbian, although the gay community would love that! She is instead taking the Mel B challenge to shed 15kgs before her international farewell tour.
The Battle of the Bulge... And the winner is Mel B!
Concerned after a critic in London called her “tubby”, Dame Edna is turning to the only woman with a proven system to beat the Battle of the Bulge, Jenny. The proof is in the pudding… or is it the lack there of? When Mel B came on stage as living proof of the effectiveness of the program, showcasing a trim, taught and terrific body.
So in true politically incorrect Dame Edna style, “Don’t forget if you’re fat, you’re sick”. Join Dame Edna’s plight with Jenny’s ‘Edna Forever’ campaign (or in her case limit the flow of frocks on eBay).
