WHAT I SEE IN THE MIRROR

By Dame Edna Everage for THE GUARDIAN:



When I look in the mirror I see a caring woman at the height of her powers with an exquisite complexion.

I spend very little time doing my make-up. My appearance on stage and television is the same as my appearance at home. I'm lucky to have almost perfect skin and bone structure and I am always well dressed, even when I am casual. I dress to please myself and the world is sure to follow. I love dressing up. People are so shabby and careless and I like to set an example.

I have had a little cosmetic surgery. I had some crow's feet added to my eyes because people said that I looked too young.
