Mother's Day with Dame Edna!

Hello Possums!

It's Mother's Day today in Australia, New Zealand, Canada and the United States. And so what better way to celebrate than by spending the day with the world's most famous mother and gigastar, Dame Edna Everage?!!

In Australia, mothers and families will be flocking to the cinema today to see "Dame Edna - Back With A Vengeance" which was originally filmed live at Sydney's Capitol Theatre. How gorgeous! The official CinemaLive announcement tells us:

"Dame Edna is arguably the most famous female face of the nation, her intelligence, wit and poise is envied around the world. She's the consummate performer, having entertained everyone from the Royal Family to Broadway and now for the first time ever, cinema audiences.

Winner of "The Lovely Motherhood Quest" and self professed Gigastar, Dame Edna will have you crying with laughter this Mother's Day."

Mother's all over Oz will be clamouring to hear and follow Dame Edna's example and sage advice about bringing up a family: "I made the best decision of my life. I put my family last. They never thank you if you put them first."

Wise words. She is, after all, the world's most gifted and influential women!

Here too, is a Mother's Day interview with Dame Edna for the Gay and Lesbian Times, in advance of her appearance in San Diego with her latest show "Dame Edna: My First Last Tour"...
