That jacket is amazing Barry! Like an explosion in a paint factory! And I mean that in a very caring way! A joyous heart, always x

Love you Barry. You have brought so much joy and laughter to my life since I was a kid. Nobody makes me laugh like you do and watching Dame Edna has literally snapped me out of some dark times. Thank you for always bringing so much joy ❤️❤️

Barry, what a beautiful jacket and necktie combination 😍. You must share the designer. Looks to be a perfect addition to my Liberace wardrobe! Do I spot Dame Edna's pooch in the background? Lovely tribute to Melissa Coote . . . nicely presented. Stay safe and healthy . . . and as always, hurry back to the US! Love, ♥️

I"m on it. I could rock that jacket. Fab Fashion !! thanks for sharing ! not to guild the lily, a carnation for that lapel would have been a sparkling touch.

Magnificent and interesting. When did this event take place?

[@pattysherwood7091]

I wanted to share my mother’s two pronouncements which remind me of Dame Edna. Every Thanksgiving, my mother would say to us, “ I don’t care what people say about you. I think you’re all right.” On Christmas, she always said, “ I take back everything I said about you” ( this year).

[@pattysherwood7091]

And my mother in law! She would say things like, “ oh what a pretty skirt. It would look so much better if you had ironed it.” ( It was linen.)

That sugar is so refined ⭐️

WHAT a cracking essay. I wrote about the great unknown, Norman Lamputt - who died a few weeks ago - and he was fervent and uncompromising about the importance of drawing.

Everyone's a critic, aren't they? But how can we blame Barry for that if he wants to get a leg up on Melissa's Coote? I take refuge in Barry like a Buddhist takes refuge in the dharma, the push pin, and the Santa Maria. Or something like that. Viva la Humph!

Nice.

Sorry Barry, but your jacket can't compare to Dame Edna's style and class
