Dame Edna on AVIVA Television Ads!

Hello Darlings! Hello Possums!

Well the world-wide love affair with gigastar Dame Edna Everage continues!

Her cutting-edge stage show "My First Last Tour" is still touring North America to a rapturous response, healing and uplifting little non-entities around the continent with her zesty zingers and megastar mirth.

And we all know her fun and fabulous MAC cosmetics line has recently been launched globally. In fact, she's just about to make an appearance in Australia to launch it there, adding some much needed glamour to their dull down-under lives. Lucky little things!

But we also have a gorgeous new television ad to enjoy too! It's just what we need to get us through the January blues, isn't it, Possums?

Insurance company AVIVA (who used to be Norwich Union) are using the profiles of a host of stunning stars who have also changed their names in earlier days - Ringo Starr, Bruce Willis, Alice Cooper, Elle Macpherson, and our very own Dame Edna, feature in the ad.

Of course, we all know that Dame Edna didn't change her name herself.... She had the title of "Dame" thrust upon her by her good friend Lillibet, who insisted that she should be known as Dame Edna because of all the good she has done for mankind (after all, even the Dalai Lama said he felt a better person after meeting her...).

So here it is, Possums. From Mrs. Norman Everage to our gorgeous Dame Edna. Enjoy!
