Christmas message from Dame Edna in the Radio Times!

Merry Chrissie, you little darlings!

It's not long now til the big day! Have you been good? Are you expecting some nice pressies under the tree?

Well, we must have all been quite good, because there is a gorgeous little gift for us all in the 23rd December Christmas edition of the Radio Times - it's an interview with our favourite giga-star Dame Edna Everage:

Turn to page 44 for the best read of the season. Never mind the Queen's message, this is one that matters! Dame Edna reveals all in this hilarious interview, including confirmation of plans for her new chat show in 2007 (which we first announced here ) - and there will be no non-entity z-list celebrities for Dame Edna! There's also a little insight into her plans for Christmas (in a truly charitable gesture, she'll be spending it with her disappointing daughter Valmai...)

So, possums, with the promise of a fabulous new Dame Edna TV series, 2007 is already shaping up to be a truly gorgeous year!

Happy Chrissie to one and all! See you in the New Year!

Caring and Sharing at John Lewis

Hello, darlings!

Well, John Lewis' VIP event on Saturday was a huge success! And of course, our Australian giga-star (lovingly impersonated by Simon) was at the centre of it all, caring and sharing with all of the gorgeous little possums who came to the John Lewis beauty department looking for a dash of delicious Christmas glamour. Dame Edna is often asked for beauty tips from women all over the world, taking calls from Kate Moss, Iman, and Elle McPherson on an almost hourly basis (she's stopped trying to help Victoria Beckham, because honestly, folks, some people just can't be helped - I mean, look at Madge!), so shoppers were delighted to be in the presence of one of the world's classic style icons...

Hmmm...darling...is this a gift from Ann Summers....it looks a little bit yucky...call me old-fashioned, but it does!!!

These gorgeous little senior citizens don't really have any idea what's going on - they're just enjoying the movement and the colour! Someone call the maximum security twilight home and let them know we have the escapees!

The amazement in understandable...it's not every day you meet someone who was the spiritual adviser to Mother Theresa!

A fellow lover of face furniture!

Is this your father, darling? You might be interested in my work as chairwoman of the Friends of the Prostate!

Darling, you look wonderful... I remember when a coat like that was fashionable!

Bye-bye, darlings! Bye-bye!

VIP Dame Edna!

Hello, Possums!

Just a quick reminder to all you gorgeous little mites that Simon will be appearing as Dame Edna tomorrow at John Lewis during Oxford Street's VIP (Very Important Pedestrian) Day. We've been told that Australia's greatest gigastar will be on the main floor in the beauty department (no doubt, lots of Kenny's friends will be working there too!), and the appearance will be taking place from approximately 2 - 5 pm.

As Dame Edna always looks so ravishing, I'm sure all sorts of complete non-entities will be clamouring to ask her beauty advice. But sometimes, all the beauty advice in the world won't help if you don't have the bone structure - just look at Madge! Hopeless. So we're leaving her at home to dust and wash the floors.

But never mind about Madge. I think it's going to be a fantastic day - call me old fashioned, but I do! See you there!
