AUSXIP INTERVIEWS RENEE O'CONNOR
15 December 2011

AUSXIP has the pleasure of interviewing Renee in April 2008 and now we catch up with Renee in time for AUSXIP's 15th Anniversary. Since Xena ended it's 6 year run over 10 years ago, Renee has been very busy in continuing to act, direct and produce her own short films and movies, create a web presence by interacting with fans with video presentations and other media. Renee has taken time out of her very busy schedule to talk to us about the Last Xena Convention in January 2012, her creation of ROC Pictures, her movies Words Unspoken and Infinity, her involvement with the I Am Aware seminars and what habit she really can't break!

AUSXIP INTERVIEWS LUCY LAWLESS
15 December 2011

AUSXIP last interviewed Lucy in May 2010 for the second AUSXIP Interview when she had just completed working on Spartacus: Blood and Sand and got involved with Greenpeace as their Ambassador. Since then Lucy has been extremely busy starring in Spartacus: Gods of the Arena and the soon to be seen Spartacus: Vengeance as Lucretia. To many Lucretia is the best role Lucy has ever played but Xena remains at the top of the list for many Lucy fans. Since our last interview, Lucy has immersed herself in the role of Greenpeace ambassador and Eco-Warrior; she passionately believes in conservation and environmental issues such as Climate Change. In this interview we talk to Lucy about the upcoming final Xena Convention, her passion for environmental issues and what fans can expect from Lucretia in Spartacus: Vengeance.

AUSXIP The Year In Review!
Image2011 is coming to a close and it's been quite a year. Here are some of the interesting things that happened on AUSXIP in the course of the year. The highlight for me (in a year chock full of highlights) is AUSXIP's 15th birthday and the support I have received from my very loyal sidekicks Roger and Lori. Added to the mix was Lucy's active role in sending messages / pics throughout the year for various events and the wonderful interview she gave for the 15th Anniversary. Renee came to the 15th Anniversary party with a fantastic third interview with AUSXIP. Lots of good stuff happened in 2011 and some sadness as well. We lost some Xenites and a Thracian warrior, Andy Whitfield.

What's coming up in 2012? I can pretty much guarantee that AUSXIP will be around for another year. We will be live blogging the Final Journey Convention, The 6th AUSXIP Charity Auction will be held on 21-28 March 2012 and a whole bunch of other cool things which we don't know about yet.

May you all have an absolutely awesome end of year party and let's hope 2012 is all that you wish for and more.

Click here for the highlights of the AUSXIP Year.



AUSXIP Interviews Lucy & Renee

Huge thanks to my favourite girls -  Lucy and Renee for taking time out of their busy lives and giving me interviews in time for AUSXIP's 15th anniversary. These two blow my mind. How awesomely special are these two? Unbelievable!
