I have passed this laneway, Dame Edna Place, many times over the years. For all that while, the wall bore no likeness of him—or her—no portrait to fix the passing gaze. There came a season, too, when his name was clouded by rumours of old transgressions, whispered and unresolved. After that, he withdrew into silence, retreating from the public ear, until at length he died, quietly, and was heard from no more.

She (He) was a world famous character who symbolized either fun, or for some people, perversion. Personally, I am happy to see this mural honoring this controversial person.

ReplyDeleteInteresting saying
DeleteWhat a lovely post! You made me curious, and that’s how I ended up learning about Barry Humphries.

DeleteI know who this person is and have seen a snippet or two, but it really wasn't my thing.
ReplyDeleteNot my thing either
DeleteExcellent photo and mural.
ReplyDeleteMagnífico mural a todo color que viene a reconocer a ese personaje tal vez prematuramente olvidado. Un buen contrapicado.
ReplyDeleteUn abrazo

DeleteTricky to be heard from after you die I guess. I enjoyed the Dame Edna things he did, but I an not familiar with the other issues.
ReplyDeleteIt looks good. I like his Dame Edna act :-D
ReplyDeleteI had totally forgotten about Dame Edna. A strange character for sure. But this is a lovely reminder.
ReplyDeleteUn record als que el (la) seguien... i allà es queda.
ReplyDeleteSalutacions!
A good mural ... I always enjoyed watching Dame Edna :)
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
That's a great find. I wish I had come across it.
ReplyDeleteA good likeness to Dame Edna, such a funny woman and didn't like Les at all.
ReplyDeleteI didn't care for his act, and yet I recognized that Dame Edna really did touch UK oriented people way down deep.
ReplyDeleteMural looks great
ReplyDeleteFun mural! Take care, enjoy your day and the week ahead.
ReplyDeleteThe act that Dame Edna entered the royal lodhe in a theatre is great.
ReplyDeleteUn mural que no es difícil pasar junto a él y no darse cuenta, por su colorido y belleza.
ReplyDeleteSaludos.
That is well done.
