She says the mag can be ordered from www.magshop.co.nz, and that she's "sure MaryD will have the whole article up on her site in the next week or 2". She also sent me some nice scans of the cover, a large interior photo, and a page of the text. I can't post those here, of course, but am willing to pass on to individual chakram-refugees who crave them. TEXena ____________________ The article is titled "life with lucy" This article will please any Lucy fans who liked to see her dressed up and stylishly photographed, and who like to read about her life. She is on 9 full pages of the mag, not counting the cover. And the article is spread over 5 pages. The photos are clearly from a fashion shoot. She is wearing a range of designer outfits gowns really. There's credits for the hair stylist, photographer, make-up, "styling" and at least one of the outfits. There's a big photo of her taking up most of the Contents page. There's 4 other full page photos  one she's sitting down in jeans and a designer top. There's 2 others where she's standing and takes up to 3 quarters to the full height of the side of a page with part of the article on the rest of the page. One of them is a 2 page spread shot in a room with a stylish table and sofa. The piccie covers the whole page but some of the article is printed over it on the wall: all very stylishly done. There's also some old piccies. One little one of her and her dad when he got his OBE in 1990. There's one of the breast feeding poster from 2002. There's a small black and white one of her in her Mrs NZ outfit holding up a baby. [i.e., Daisy] On the side of one of the full page piccies of a waist up shot of Lucy it says: "LA-based actor Lucy Lawless talks to Suzanne McFadden about her father's life-threatening illness, her loving Kiwi family and why she won't make life easy for her kids." Highlighted extracts from the article are enlarged on some pages. They say: "Mum and Dad are extremely low-maintenance people. It's a pleasure to hang out with them." "It's easy to help because it feels right. You're doing God's work." "If I have any great talent it's for making friends." "For myself I'm really and jeans and casual top person. Designer gowns don't mean much to me, and I prefer natural piccies to posed one. Nevertheless I can appreciate these ones are done with style." The bit in the article that interests me most is the stuff about her upcoming movie "The Pleasure Dome". I've already posted the main details about it. The article says: " it's the story of an over-the-hill disco diva, played by Lucy, forced to contemplate her life." "It won't be rocky Horror, but it will have some fun quotient. It's a big and fabulous risk, but you've got to live it", Lucy says. "We're Kiwis, so it will be wild and creative, done on the smell of an oily rag and tied together with number eight fence wire." The article also mentions that Rob T, her Dad and some of her brothers do this bonding thing cause they like to go fishing together. She says Rob is a very good cook but she isn't. (Shades of Xena!) When her Dad was ill in hospital she got all the extended family together . "Tradition in Lucy's family dictates that when the going gets rough, the Ryans go fishing. So when Lucy's Dad was very ill they had a fish fry at Lucy & Rob's home with "battered snapper just hooked from the Hauraki Gulf." The Tapert Lawless gift to Renee and Iris was to send their cook and cleaner to work for Renee while LL & RT were in Auckland. She usually cooks for LL and family 3 nights a week. Lucy's kids have realised she not up to much as a cook & Julius doesn't want her to make his sandwiches anymore cause they don't taste right. Lucy doesn't sing her own sons to sleep cause it makes them sad.??? It makes Julius cry. When Daisy was young she used to sing old jazz songs and ride around with her on the cross bar of Lucy's bike. Lucy's Dad was disappointed that he couldn't be at the ceremony when Lucy got her NZ Order of merit award. Daisy prefers to stay in NZ with her friends. She spends about 6 weeks here with her Dad and then goes to her Mum in LA for 2 or 3 weeks. She likes to go to rock concerts in LA. Lucy says:" People say she is like me  sometimes I fear she is! She's great, I like her so much. She thinks her sons get too much homework LA  that they're over schooled. She thinks it's not healthy. She took them out of school to come to Auckland but likes to do open-air school with Mrs Tapert as their teacher. They got them a microscope & made slides of moss "and then they wanted to look at my blood," she says in horror". She's taken them on a lot of outdoor adventures because they have too much energy & can get into bad behaviour. (Reminds me of those kids in desperate Housewives). Lucy loves Auckland's harbour and the beaches she says that, "If you're in LA, you go to the beach at Malibu and have to park a mile away, it's too cold to swim, and then you're not allowed to sit on the beach because some snotty homeowner will chase you off. It's appalling." She does like the "real" people she meets in LA, but you have to separate them from the pseuds. When she arrives at Auckland airport "it smells like a racecourse by the sea, like wet horses." It makes her feel nostalgic. "Vancouver is where she went to drama school 15 years ago as a "penniless" wife and mother. This time it will be a genuine Canadian experience, the family choosing to live "in the boondocks", with bobcats and bears." There's comments of respect about Xena fan clubs & her lesbian following. That's the main things that caught my attention. ========================================================= This has been a message to the chakram-refugees list.

Has anyone discussed the extras? If not -- The disc has 7 deleted scenes, of which 5 involve Xena. One shows Renee O'Connor doing a fight scene as Zoe Bell and a Gabrielle stunt double watch. There are interviews with -- Steven Spielberg, Quentin Tarantino, Lawless, O'Connor, Lynda Carter and Min Windle, a stunt double for Gabrielle. Spielberg briefly mentions Xena. Tarantino goes on about his approval of Xena's begin portrayed as seriously evil; that reminds me of why I don't like Tarantino. Linda Carter strikes a discordant note. She says that Wonder Woman had more "class" than Xena. I listened to only part of the commentary on the documentary, by Jeannie Eppers, Zoe Bell and the director. It seemed fairly trivial.
