You gorgeous little mites! You've been desperate for more news of our favourite giga-star, haven't you? It must be difficult these days, being a dull, boring non-entity in a country once blessed, for 6 glorious weeks at least, by the return of Dame Edna to our television screens. My hope, strength, and understanding go out to you, Possums!
But you needn't worry, because we here at The Untamed Edna Experience are always on the look out for news of the woman who is probably the only wisteria-locked personal adviser to little Benny, the current Pope.
In fact, we've heard that Benedict was desperate for Dame Edna and Valmai to join him on his current tour of South America. You see, Benny has been trying urgently to convince his little flock in Brazil to honour the teachings of abstinence....and Dame Edna is happy to point out that Valmai is surely a prime example of the disastrous results that come from having "relations"...in fact, Valmai's the ultimate poster child for abstinence! But I'm sure she means it in a caring way.
But I digress, as the main news I want to bring you is from a news article we found featuring Dame Edna, who has returned triumphantly to Australia from the United Kingdom to resume her "Back with a Vengeance" tour in Sydney. The article refers, of course, to her hugely successful new TV show, The Dame Edna Treatment, and speaks of her various vocal duets with the likes of Shirley Bassey and Fergie.
But wait, Possums! Included in the list of singers is also k d lang!!! Could this mean that the 7th, and yet to air show (a 50th Anniversary retrospective), will feature singing diva k d lang? Exciting news to be sure! We'll keep our ears to the ground, and let you know if we hear anything further...
You'll find this gorgeous little article here, my darlings: The Sydney Morning Herald . Enjoy! And until next time, Possums, we'll leave you with this hilarious quote from the article:
"I still pinch myself, darling, to think it was a little over 50 years since I stepped onto the boards in Melbourne, a painfully shy woman," she says, adding that it is now the audience who are shy. "And I'm still so humble, though I don't think humility is one of the great virtues. Like chastity, it's one of the ... well, it's not even a virtue any more. It's almost a drawback."
