AUSXIP Reporter Cirocco was at the Paris Xenite III Con and she sent in some gorgeous photos of Renee on stage with Alex Tydings.

In the Tub is a spectacular book that was released earlier this year and it was created by TJ Scott. TJ is a superb photographer and all his photographs are very striking. Renee also took part in the photoshoot. Check out the pics on TJ’s flickr account.

You can buy the book from Amazon.com AND more significantly, the money raised goes to Breast Cancer Research. Now that’s a great deal.

Les 25 et 26 octobre, si vous croisez dans Paris des jeunes filles court vêtues, brandissant un glaive, ne vous inquiétez pas.

Ce genre de salon est né aux États-Unis, notamment grâce à la science-fiction. Lors des conventions Star Trek, par exemple, la règle veut que les fans arborent les costumes de la série. Le Comic-Con, à San Diego, est d’ailleurs considéré comme la convention à ne pas rater, où quelque 130 000 fans se réunissent tous les étés. Acteurs de films et de séries, auteurs de comic books sont présents durant quatre jours pour cette grand-messe de la pop culture (photo). En France, les conventions commencent à se multiplier. Après Xena, Game of Thrones sera à l’honneur avec WinterFall, qui se tiendra à Paris les 13 et 14 décembre prochains, en présence de Jack Gleeson, l’inénarrable Joffrey Baratheon, et Iain Glen, l’interprète de Jorah Mormont. Il faudra cependant casser sa tirelire avant de passer deux jours avec les héros de ses séries préférées. Les forfaits s’achètent entre 60 et 500 euros ! Les autographes, photoshoots et rencontres privilégiées sont en supplément, les tarifs évoluant en fonction de la notoriété de la star choisie. Pour 30 minutes partagées avec une dizaine de fans en compagnie de Lucy Lawless, il faudra débourser pas moins de 150 € de plus. Mais, quand on aime, on ne compte pas ! Émilie Semiramoth
