Dame Edna Place Mural for Mural Monday

 


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.

  1. 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.

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

  4. I know who this person is and have seen a snippet or two, but it really wasn't my thing.

  5. Magnífico mural a todo color que viene a reconocer a ese personaje tal vez prematuramente olvidado. Un buen contrapicado.

  12. A good likeness to Dame Edna, such a funny woman and didn't like Les at all.

  13. I didn't care for his act, and yet I recognized that Dame Edna really did touch UK oriented people way down deep.
