Lucy Lawless and Renee O'Connor in Sydney
For the Sydney Gay & Lesbian Mardi Gras
February 1999
It was a special moment and I think a unique
moment -
Lucy Lawless AND Renee O'Connor appearing together.
Doesn't happen often!
This section of AUSXIP will have all the detailed coverage - upcoming media events relating to this.
Lucy and Renee indicated that they would wish to participate in a float for next year's Mardi Gras - well DUX (The Xena Fan Club of Australia) are up to that challenge and work is already underway to get that float and invite Lucy and Renee to participate!

Some Highlights and a full report:
-
Lucy wants to come back next year and be in the actual parade! Way to go Lucy!
[DUX - The Australian Xena Fan Club may arrange to get a float in the 2000 Mardi Gras and ask Lucy and Renee to join in! - Details will be posted if we succeed] - Lucy asked "Ren" what she thought of the idea! Cute nickname.
- Renee absolutely loved the parade and they explained that the tank they were using to film Tsunami (didn't name the episode but I guessed it) exploded and they couldn't come to last years parade. It seems Renee was going to be making an appearance as well!
- They were on for 15 minutes - lots of closeups of the girls and Lucy was funny with Renee sitting next to her.
- The host was clueless about the show :-) What else is new. Too bad they should have had Amanda Keller do the interview - she's funnier.
- Sydney turned on a fantastic parade for the 21st Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras
- The host asked Lucy about the Xena yell and for once he didn't ask her to demonstrate!
- He asked about their relationship (Xena and Gabs) and Lucy said they were past the toothbrush stage :-)
Many thanks to Carolyn who did a mini blow by blow description of the chat with Lucy and Renee
