Dame Edna’s Special Glasses Back on Tour

Filed Under Brands Wave, Celebrity Watch, Designer Eyeglasses, Fun with Eyewear 




Barry Humphries, the Australian comedian, satirist and actor, struck a chord with Australian viewers when he donned the disguise of Dame Edna Everage, an Aussie housewife and friend of world leaders who spends her time jetting between her various homes and listening to the confessions of the reigning Queen.


Though we would not encourage you to dye your hair purple and imagine you are friends with the Queen, we do think that 2009 is going to be a year of innovative design and a global encouragement of fashion bravery and glitz. Get a charming and charismatic look that is not as flashy as Dame Edna, but will still make you stand out with Boucheron eyewear. These innovative and creative designs are sure to make you look artsy and yet high fashion. With muted, professional colours and all of the design focus on innovative glasses arms, these frames are sure to turn heads and make you a memorable addition to any group.


2009 is sure to be a year to remember. In San Francisco’s Post Street Theatre, the Dame is back on tour with a farewell show to a city she calls ‘charming.’ “Dame Edna: Live and Intimate in Her First Last Tour,” opened in November and continues through January 4th. She was the winner of a Tony Award on Broadway last year and continues to hold wide fame across the global pop art scene. Though a satire of the snobbery of the rising Australian middle class, the Dame’s fashion forward tips can be taken seriously in 2009 as fashion moves from subtle to loud, from lace to full out frills and from subtle eyewear to bold statements, horn rims and creative designs.
