NZ Media Alert
The current issues of the NZ magazines New Idea and Woman's
Day have pics of Lucy & Daisy at the NZ Fashion Show - the following is from
Leanne at Kiwi Attic:
Check out the latest New Idea and Womans Day featuring Lucy Lawless!
:-) As you know, It was New Zealand fashion week last week, and as well as the photos
which have been seen in the papers of Lucy dressed as a man, these articles have some
really nice pictures of her looking very 'chic' in a short, wavy wig. The beginning of the
article reads: "Kiwi star Lucy Lawless made a shock appearance at New Zealand Fashion
Week - not because she was there - but because she was wearing a wig. The former Xena
Warrior Princess was one of the lucky few to get a ticket to the Zambesi fashion show at
Auckland's Oriental markets and was seated next to Alannah Currie of the Thompson Twins,
who was also wearing a wig. Though they had never met before, Lucy andAlannah have become
e-mail buddies over their opposition to genetic engineering. They couldn't believe it when
they discovered they were both sitting beside each other and both wearing
wigs................."
The article continues "Lucy, who
wore a dark curly-haired wig, may have wanted to remain incognito, but there was no
mistaking the beautiful Xena star. She also attended the Kate Sylvester fashion show first
and l,ooked like amodel herself. She wore knee-high boots, a sexy mini skirt and a funky
jacket. She left her two young sons at home to attend the event with her daughter, Daisy,
who is growing into a very beautiful young woman."
There is also word in the article that Lucy is off this week to LA to discuss further
career plans for a movie. The Womans Day has a page on the fashion show, with a small
picture of Lucy and Daisy in attendance. Details of the cost of these magazines can be
found on the pages at the links below. Please note that shipping prices have increased
since our last lot of Lucy magazine news.

seeking a place in the world, comes into her life and awakens feelings she thought dead
forever. A fragile melody is played between these damaged souls, a song made sweeter and
stronger by the day --- but will their blossoming romance be destroyed by an outsider's

happiness with Anna, caught up in the fiery overtures and darkly gothic strains of

Australians have been encouraged to observe a
minute's silence at noon and wear a piece of wattle on Sunday to commemorate the national
day of mourning for the dead and bereaved of the Bali terrorist attack.
Prime Minister John Howard said wearing wattle would be
"a simple unifying tribute". He also encouraged the planting of wattle seeds
where possible as a quiet personal gesture of remembrance and reflection.
If you can't find the wattle (which is just going out of
season) you can wear a green ribbon. Green and gold are Australia's national colours. For
those in Sydney, there will be a community tribute at The Domain. Details below http://www.smh.com.au/articles/2002/10/17/1034561269047.html
If anyone wishes to display the ribbon and the banner -
please feel free to take them and display them on your site.

Today is a very sad day in Australia - October 12 saw a
terrorist blast in Kuta, Bali, Indonesia. Bali is where a lot of Australians go for their
holidays - it's a stone's throw from Australia (3 hours). Two bombs went off and according
to reports "110 Australians injured and a further 220 unaccounted for at this stage:.
Those who survived suffered horrific burns and other injuries. Many of them were from
football clubs who were celebrating their end of season or Aussies on their annual
holidays.
Those who survived are being airlifted back home to hospitals
that can care for their burns because the hospitals in Bali are overwhelmed.
This was a heinous terrorist act and those that perpertrated it are cowards and
lowlifes. As we all learned on September 11, that no one is immune to
madmen who wish to spread their hatred. We are witnessing this also in Washington DC where
the sniper has already claimed 8 lives and hurt 2.
