Lucy Lawless and Renee O'Conner duet Stop Draggin'...

[vivfox]

the Xena Convention

Lucy Lawless made her fans very very happy last night at a packed concert at LA's legendary Roxy. She sang an eclectic set of rock-tinged favorites, with a smaller band and a more intimate vibe than last year's more razzle-dazzle, post-Celebrity Duets show.

And she made them -- oh, who am I kidding, she made us -- more than happy when Xena co-star Renee O'Connor came out on stage to sing a duet of Stevie Nicks/Tom Petty rocker "Stop Draggin' My Heart Around."



After Lucy sang "I Wanna Kiss You All Over," some adoring fan tossed a pair of pink-polka-dotted panties up on stage, and Lucy laughed, "Well, that's a first. And I do not want to see this become a habit."

Then Renee came out, in black leather pants and a gittery top, and sang "Stop Draggin' My Heart Around" with Lucy. At one point Lucy tossed the panties at Renee, who stuffed them down the back of her pants. When the number was over, she threw them back into the crowd.

Lucy said, "Oh yeah now they've been inside your trousers, they want them back!"
Lucy teased Renee about Xena fan fiction, and then they took some prepared (or as Lucy called them, "doctored,") fan questions for Renee.

"When you're very shy, and want to tell someone you love them, what do you do?"

Renee smiled. "When they call and ask you to sing a duet with them, you say yes."

Lucy also welcomed best friend Marissa Jaret Winokur, who originated the Broadway version of Hairspray's Tracy Turnblad, up on stage for a game of "Who Knows Lucy Best, Friend or Fans?" The fans won, and in case it ever comes up, after a lot of trial and error, Lucy's least favorite way to die is by crucifixion.
Lucy did three encores, and is going to do it again tonight, and then again in London in May.
She and Renee will be apearing at the Xena convention this afternoon, and I'll be blogging it live, and getting more photos, too. Just click on the link up at the top of this post for all the convention coverage.

That's cool. They always handled the lesbian fans well. Reminds me of how great Stevie always was with reconizing how she wouldn't be where she is without us. It was the same with the actors, writers, producers of Xena.
