Dame Edna...MAC cosmetics promotion boosting sales!


I was scurrying through the retail thoroughfare in the lower levels of the oh-so-opulent Caesar's Palace, when I glanced up and was amazed to find myself staring into the face of that bodacious babe, Dame Edna!

MAC recently launched a cosmetics promotion - starring the outrageous lady from down-under - in outlets around the country.

"The brand consists of lipstick, rouge and nail polish. Mac will feature the products until they run out," a pretty young sales woman noted when I queried her about the novel line.

Dame Edna is a popular show gal who tours regularly - known particularly for her infamous naughty chit-chats with rapt audiences during her side-splitting performances - wherever she appears on the glitzy entertainment circuit.

According to her bio, she was born Edna May Beazley in the rural city of Wagga Wagga.

Her stage career began humbly enough when she first sauntered into the glare of the spotlight on December 19th in 1955 - as Mrs. Norm Everage (just an average Australian housewife) - from Moonee Pondsa (Melbourne).

The Dame swears that the lilac-coloured hair she is known for is au naturel.
Yes, she's a blue-haired lady!

Ubiquitous diamond-studded cat-eye glasses are also her stock in trade.

She traverses the globe - kibitzing non-stop with crusty old world leaders - as she jet-sets between her luxury residences in London, Sydney, Los Angeles, Switzerland and upper crust Martha's Vineyard.

Allegedly, Dame Edna is a friend and confidante of the Queen.

Elizabeth, silly!

Now that a few of her beauty secrets are out-of-the-bag, can a juicy (insightful) tell-all be far behind?

News at 11!
