Caroline's Shopping Secrets   -  November 2008

  • I pretty much thought nothing could shock me anymore when it comes to celebrity collaborations.

    After the Katherine Heigl/surgical scrubs debacle earlier this year, I truly thought there could not exist a stranger celebrity endorsement.

    But of course, I was wrong. I was browsing Sassybella.com this morning when I read here that none other than everyone's favourite transvestite, Dame Edna Everage is set to collaborate with MAC to release a cosmetics line.

    Sassybella.com reports that the range, which will arrive in Australia in January, consists of three lipsticks, three LipGlasses, two eye-shadow trips, Hi-Light powder and two nail polishes.

    The packaging is kind of cool - it's all done out in Dame Edna's signature lavender colour with her horn-rimmed glasses as a motif.

    This collaboration strikes me as extremely strange. Am I the only one who has noticed that Dame Edna Everage is actually a man dressed as a woman? Who is this range supposed to appeal to. Cross-dressers? Women who like to cover themselves in industrial cross-dressing strength make up? Actors vying for the role of Dr Frank N Furter in the stage production of the Rocky Horror Picture Show?

    My guess is that the colours in the range won't be suited to anyone who likes the natural look with their make-up.

    That being said, I will still be intrigued enough to check it out.
