She is beautiful inside and out!❤️🌹🇮🇹🇬🇧🇺🇸

[@patriciacruz208]

Kim looks flawless in that Little Black ALAIA Dress!!!

[@mrfrogbutt1]

What a marvelous souvenir of such an raunchy and exciting film!

[@e.shamana4011]

How could any woman look at her and not be instantly and insanely jealous. Such a beautiful creature.

[@janheard3826]

E. Shamana if a woman is good looking herself and confident about her looks she will NOT be jealous. I’ve had a lifetime of jealousy from women. It’s actually hurtful how nasty women can be. I agree though Kim IS indeed a beautiful creature!

[@stacynels4]

Not jealous Just really really envious....

[@Rashy225]

You’re talking about Edna, right?

[@irina1296]

Kim is my 2nd favorite actress in the world. She was amazing in her famous Nine 1/2 Weeks, Batman and L.A. Confidential but my personal favorite Kim Basinger films are Fool for Love (1985), The Real McCoy (1993), I Dreamed of Africa (2000), Elvis Has Left the Building (2004), Even Money (2006)

[@heyimrobee]

Same here :D She was my all time favourite next to Whitney. I loved her most in "My stepmother is an Alien"

[@MrGutfeeling]

OMG so funny and K.B. was a great guest.

[@yalejomo]

What stunningly beautiful and down-to-earth, funny and delightful lady Kim is. I'm swept off my feet totally....

[@meetmebythestatue]

wow, yeah she is very attractive in every way.. she's nearly 40 here as well.. amazing..

[@Desertduleler_88]

Kim Basinger, enough to put steam in a man's strides.

[@spartybrearly7221]

Kim is absolutely stunning

[@eccentricdiamond49]

I love this!! Kim is so stunningly beautiful and u love what she is wearing/her hair cut and hat. Barry clearly wants her.. But he has to stay in character as dame Edna.. Lol cute

[@stacynels4]

No he isn't wanting her but Is in awe of her glowing beauty making conversation quite difficult for Dame Edna.

[@markdooley8256]

Kim Basinger has the cutest laugh, the most kissable lips and gorgeous eyes and other more obvious assets too.

[@Isospinsymmetries]

Just Gorgeous.

[@MsBonijoni]

She reminds me of a younger Renee Zellweger too...they've each got those tiny squinchy eyes which are so adorable.. ...to bad Zellweger had the surgery to remove half of what we loved about her features be edited from her face and left in a stainless surgical tray instead..

[@janheard3826]

J Lee Renee was never drop dead gorgeous - just attractive

[@adrianopasseri3262]

@@janheard3826 Just attractive...? She was Fucking hot man! Fact Kim Wilde and Kim Basinger back in the day I could happily sit between the tow with a nice cianty FU FU FU FU FU FU

[@VenturaResendez]

Kim has a nice black sleeveless dress, nice black tights, nice black high heel shoes, a nice black beret, and nice short blonde hair, she looks very beautiful

[@dussauxisabelle3616]

Sublime...

[@leonari]

Hottest woman to ever walk the earth

[@SocksMacguffin]

I know right, Dame Edna is smoking!

[@artdeco9535]

I've got ta agree there.

[@photo161]

Kim's not bad either...

[@mikigoti3552]

❤❤❤

[@IaRainbowBright]

kim is so gorgeous but i feel the need to give her a jacket or something

[@kssa220]

she is pretty

[@artdeco9535]

That's an under statement

[@yeahimere9631]

Turki.R. I most certainly agree, but not quite as petty as Kim.

[@beachlife2968]

Basinger was stunning. Fast forward to 2018 and she has started to look like the bride of Wildenstein.

OMFG! Kim never looked better. Such a fox!

[@aryaryani3751]

Love kim❤

[@labotellayrumbavidalesmari4469]

Ole !!!! Jajaja mi tía se parece a mí ? Jajaja eso me dicen !

[@krisscanlon4051]

Whew is she gorgeous! Basinger not so bad either...hubba hubba😂

[@Ninzip]

Actually it isn't... Knuffels means cuddles or cuddly toys. I know, it makes no sense. Maybe the translators did this because possums aren't known to the dutch? Also, how could you possibly wonder about that when there's Kim breasts to ponder on? I have breasts myself but am completely amazed by this pair.

[@hoppomahx]

Hi, Ringo!

[@Jasonconfused]

Literally everything I ever see has her last name pronounced differently.

[@НаташаНата-е8я]

О боже,какая красавица

Knuffles must be possums in Dutch.

[@SuperMemzzz]

Kim is so hot! And I am gay lol

[@bryantross572]

What's going on? It's a Brit thing! In Britain, in the theater there is what is called Tragedy & Comedy. A spin off from Comedy is a division of Comedy Humor called: "PANTOMIME". It's a British theater art form. PANTOMIME (PANTO) came from Roman, Italy to France (it included players two young lovers named Harlequin & Columbine)! The British version is a complex Play that includes reversal of roles, caste, men & women, reversal of clothes-cross dressing disguises, actors, music, a charming but clumsy court jester. It's much like every thing goes Topsy Turvy. MIME means silent actors, without speaking, acting out imaginary stories with imaginary stage props. PANTOMIME (PANTO) means verbal scripts and plays spoken out loud, with or without stage props. In the British version there is a large participation by the audience, the show includes such as good & evil, heroes & heroines (Harlequin & Cplumbine), villains, ghosts, with audience boos, heckling, screams, shouting and hurrays! And at the end they have a group sing along. At the time of William Shakespeare, the Puritans were acting like jihadists destroying what they didn't understand or respect. In.the name of their Extremist, Radical, Fundamentalist religious views they.trashed most all churches, chapels, & cathedrals of Great Britain. This included the great works of the Masters: paintings, tapestries, statuary, icons, and stained glass windows! The eternal loss of the Works of the Masters would be in the hundreds of billions The Radical Fumdamentalists also focused on Shakespeare and his Theatre. They came with pitchforks & torches to get rid of him & his theatre. They said he was the vilest & wickedest of men. He asked WHY? They said because he allowed women on stage! The place for women was home doing laundry and working the farm! Shakespeare asked what can I do to resolve this? They replied that from that day forth NO woman shall ever again be allowed on stage in Great Britain! From now on you will dress up boys to play girls parts, and you wil dress up men with wigs & dresses to play women's parts! Out of Respect & Courtesy to the Radical Christian Extremist Fundamentalists -- and to keep from being burned to death -- William Shakespeare and the British Theater Obliged! It's NOT called Cross Dressing NOR men in drag, it's called accommodating the Radical Religious views of a sensitive faction! How IRONIC that it's the Radical Christian's Puritan Sect that MANDATED English boys & men to have to wear women's clothes! Dame Edna Everage, has created her own extraordinary & unique art form! She has a brilliant mind and can come up with rapid fire answers that often have multiple meanings, In her stage performances she includes a vast array of comedy, satire, innuendos social commentary, and role reversals of society, and the British Caste system, etc. She is also known for her very generous compliments -- that strangely have multiple meanings -- that sometimes after contemplation could be insults. In that way she is like Don Rickles.. Some of her comments may have many different meanings! Some people catch on & others don't. In her early years some laughed at her and her poor clothes. Now, perhaps, as a defense part of her routine she targets audience members that don't look to well dressed! In some of her shows up to three or more things will be going on at the same time. Of interest to note is that after a small group laughs, there is a delayed response and then suddenly others get the joke and start laughing. The delay can be several minutes. Then later some more start laughing! Some don't get it and laugh until they repeatedly review the video. Some jokes are based on political and social issues at that time. Americans may miss multiple meaning jokes due to language differences and slang between American English and British English None enjoy her more than the camera crews. One can often hear them laughing hysterically -- they are usually the first to catch on and know all the things that are happening! She has an extremely high IQ! Her shows have been visited by experts, famous comedians, & other professionals. They have tried to study & analyze her, They say she is the Second Greatest Comedian of all time! She is surpassed only by the Great Charlie Chaplin! In PANTOMIME their is a Good person ever haunted and stalked by the arch evil character villain. Dame Edna Everage the Good Hero Heroine is forever stalked and followed by the nefarious, "Les Paterson"! Occasionally a studio camera scans the audience. Often one will see famous people , members of Parliament, world famous comedians, prestigious heads of business and industry, etc. If one watches closely they will see in the audience & wiill be surprised to see her mentor -- none other than the great artist of stage and theater Barry Humpries! She has appeared in programs in a debate & interview with Barry Humpries. These feats are probably accomplished by camera & trick photography. Outside of America, throughout the English speaking world, including all of the British Commonwealth Nations she is extremely famous! Australia minted a coin in her honor, and also published a postage stamp with her portrait. She is so famous that an entire Opera, including the music orchestration, the choir, and the performance were written to honor her. The production was performed to a packed house at the: Prince Albert Royal Hall. She was given a seat of honor on stage and actually sang some parts! She has performed to audiences of prestigious peoples & high society luminaries. At some of those performances she has an open question and answer time. When audience members one by one, at random, ask her questions, she has baffled and stunned her audiences and experts by recognizing and calling the audience members some by name, and recite some of their professions and their life achievements! Upon viewing reruns one may be surprised that her answers are different than we remembered. Scientists who study this phenomenon say part of this is the skill of the speaker, and part of this is that some of our minds run so fast that it records what the hearer would prefer and want to hear and believe. In those performances she is able to interact with the audiences and in a split second reply with some incredible answers! For an American to understand her and why is she so popular and famous with the British? Consider this: just as the Beverly Hills - Hill Billy, Elly Mae, came from the back hills and back country & came into good fortune and moved to the city and the good life and fame -- so did Dame Edna! She is like "My Fair Lady". She was just a back ward "Commoner", trained and cultured by the famous English Stage and Theater Expert Barry Humpries. He taught her high society culture, class, manners, etiquette and proper speech. He got her the finest royal dresses! When she makes special appearances she can be quite elegant. But alas, sooner or later she will give old country home town advice, or tell a shocking bawdy joke. I am often saying outloud: "Oh No She Didn't Just Say That"! Many will watch reruns and be surprised to catch onto jokes & innuendos that one missed previously! As of 2020, she is still alive. Due to the pandemic, she does TV & YOU TUBE interviews from her home. The Incredible & Talented LEGEND Dame Edna Everage, LIVES ON!

[@stacynels4]

Bryant...This Is Not where you longwindedly critique nor historicalize Dame Edna.

[@bgmeadows6085]

Not one of Dame Edna's best segments. Kim Basinger was a giggling goofball.

[@petewoodroffemusic]

Looks like KIM WILDE!

[@justynjonn]

Whatever happened to her?

[@vashna3799]

what's ringo doing there!

[@stacynels4]

Ringo is conducting the Dame Edna Orchestra.. Duh!

[@letsseeif]

wonder what Kim looks like now in 2021 and how much gravity has won the game

[@markharvey573]

Kim Basinger seems sad, albeit on the inside, to me.

[@2thpic]

This is like watching Kim being hit on by Tom Green.

[@stacynels4]

Kim is Not being "hit" on in comparison to Tom Green but she Is so stunningly beautiful all anyone can really do is stare transfixed at her until we all go weak in the knees and fall to the ground!
