Renee 2008 Xena
Convention DVD |
|
The following was sent by Creation Entertainment
GROOVING
INTO BURBANK 2008
Here offered for the very first time, is the DVD of The Official
Xena Convention appearances of Lucy Lawless and Renee O'Connor on
stage, alone and together at the 2008 event in Burbank, California.
Lucy regales the audience with tales, such as, the Meeting of the
Prius and the Deer; she's hit with This Is Your Life as early photos
of her youth and a man whose children she used to babysit for show
up; and is surprised to find that Xena wrote a book called The
Threefold Path to Peace in 1904.
Renee tells stories about, for example, how she came to sing with
Lucy at the Roxy as opposed to doing a pole dance; Lucy singing
songs to a dancing Iris; that Ghost Town will be released by Lion's
Gate; writing stories about her childhood including the saga of the
twin turbo red Porsche; returning to martial arts; Cat On a Hot Tin
Roof; and does she fall in love easily the way Gabrielle does?
Together, Lucy and Renee ponder such must know topics as does Renee
prefer Lucy as a brunette or a blonde? Would they read some fan
fiction together? What did Renee learn about her sexuality by
hanging around Lucy? And, what's it like to kiss Renee?
And, a surprise or two!
DVD will be released and shipped in
August of 2008 and is 1 hour and 15 minutes. DVD will play
internationally.

Isn't this picture so beautiful!
I just read the latest Renee Interview and it's superb. The temp
scans are up from Calli (who tooks photos of the article - the high
res scans will be posted as soon as the magazine crosses the ditch).
You can read the article quite easily from the photo snaps.
Renee talks about Diamonds and Guns and Genesis Code and also about
life in New Zealand. Excellent article.

Special Photo Book
with Renee! |
|
Lida has created a special photo book that I wanted to share with
you all the great news:
In
2005, Renee O'Connor, Gabrielle from Xena Warrior Princess
graciously agreed to attend the fan run Orlando BardCon in honour of
writers who have produced quality Xena Warrior Princess fan fiction.
These images were taken at the event and with Renee's permission and
the urging of others to share these images, I'm now very pleased to
announce the creation of a photo book to commemorate this event.
It's an 8 x 10 photo book with 66 pages with over 360 images.
All profits from the sale of this book will be donated to charity
which will be divided between Hospice and a charity of Renee's
choice.
You all invited to this book release to remember a great event
and donate to a worthy cause.

New Renee Painting
on Ebay |
|
Renee has posted a new painting "Santorini" on her
Ebay page.
This is a view I had while visiting Santorini, Greece. I was on a
pathway looking down at a rooftop of a house. The tones of blue and
white were so beautiful to me. I thought I would try to challenge
myself, and paint something with just a few colors! The dimensions
are 12 inches X 12 inches, and it is signed. I will personalize the
note of authenticity. Thank you!

RENEE O'CONNOR
(No. 63 in 2007)
Six years after Xena: Warrior Princess went off the air, Renée
O’Connor is still on our minds. Active in charity work, Renee heads
up the Renée O'Connor Outreach Fund, which helps give money and
support to families overwhelmed by bills from a serious illness.
She’s a fixture at Xena fan conventions, and just when we thought
she couldn't get any hotter, she'll be playing a lesbian in a
multi-episode arc on Lifetime's hit show Army Wives when it returns
later this month. The summer just got even hotter!
