Shock as Dame Edna Considers Contact Lenses

Dame Edna Everage, sans Contact Lenses

The world was left open mouthed in shock last night as Dame Edna announced she will consider contact lenses ahead of her usual flamboyant specs.  The queen of Panto/good clean comedy is famous for sporting ever more eccentric glasses and audiences have been left slightly confused at the vision of Dame Edna in contact lenses.

Friends of the popular star have stated that she has considered contact lenses for some time and feels the mood is right to make the change citing the growing weight of amusing spectacles leads to mild irritation on the bridge of her nose.  Doctors have recommended she make the change as it will be the only way for her nose to heal following decades of spectacle abuse.

Dame Edna will be appearing in Britain again for the festive panto season at the end of the year and the public are expected to get their first look at the new Dame Edna, complete with contact lenses!
