Hallo Possums!

Whether you love her or hate her (well, him actually), you can’t argue there’s nothing more Australian than Dame Edna! Played by Australian satirist Barry Humphries, The Dame is as Australian as Vegemite, lamingtons or snags on a barbie.

For years, the world’s perception of Australia was coloured by this outlandish character whose mop of purple-rinsed hair would put any self-respecting hairdresser to shame and whose high pitched, whiny voice which called “Hallo Possums” was rather like fingernails down a blackboard. Despite the irritating overtones, Dame Edna has always remained a much-loved Aussie icon and has become synonymous with our sun burnt country.

To celebrate this colourful character, MAC Cosmetics have just released the show-stopping Dame Edna collection in a fitting tribute to this great Australian icon.

Each product in the collection comes in fitting lavender-coloured packaging and sports a motif of Edna’s famous winged red glasses. The ‘looks’ of the collection are as spectacular as the muse, including Wisteria, Spectacle, Possum Nose Pink and Kanga-Rouge to name a few.

The collection is available now from your local MAC Cosmetics counter or log on to http://www.maccosmetics.com.au/ for more inspiration.

That’s right possums; it doesn’t get more Australian than this … apparently.
