Lucy and Renee whip it good in Chicago

by
Christie Keith

First she shook her fringed mini-dress on Celebrity Duets and made America realize Lucy Lawless wasn’t just the Warrior Princess anymore. Then she won the hearts of lesbians everywhere at her two sold-out concerts at LA’s Roxy Theater and a follow-up set of shows in New York City. This weekend, it was Chicago’s turn.

Although I couldn’t get there, there are those who could, and fortunately for Lucy and Renee fans everywhere, they agreed to spill. KT (the other KT, not the KT who does photography for AfterEllen.com sometimes; the Xenaverse can be very confusing, I know) had this to say about Lucy:

Luce was in her leather chaps and jeans. No cowboy songs so no cowgirl hats used as props tonight. My friend who believes that someday Lucy’s sheer gorgeous sexiness will give him a heart attack was behind me and every time Lucy did a bump and grind in her chaps, women all around the hall would cheer madly. As the cheers faded away, I could hear him gasping just a bit. And once I heard a small, exhaled, “Oh my heart.”

I know just how her friend feels. Sigh.

Since where Xena goes Gabrielle’s never far behind, it only makes sense that Renee O’Connor (who shakes a mean fringed mini-dress of her own) joined her for a little go-go-girl-on-girl action, just like she has at every other performance:

This time, the song Renee danced along with was “Let It Whip.” As a nice little bonus, she brought along a “tickler” — a little whippy crop that ended in a long piece of soft pink feathery looking material. She whipped it around the stage as Lucy sang and they both gyrated. Then she teased Lucy with it a bit, and then I guess I blinked or something because suddenly Lucy had the tickler and was whipping it around Renee, who turned away from Lucy and received a few swats on the butt as she danced away. This was a real crowd pleaser of a pas de deux.

More reportage here. Thanks to Ann and MaryD for the photos!

    Wow, I miss her and she is gorgeous.  It's cool to see them still friends long after the series, and both are still very attractive. I would love to see them do another show together.  I love Xena.

    Back in my days i recall watching xena the warrior princess,, i didnt do it with consistency but i never got to watch the episodes were they both were very close... somehow,,,i always felt the tension between them during the scenes for which as a result  got me coming back to watch the show now and then but i wasnt quite sure,, i thought it was only my wishful thinking imagination and of course it was during the time i was realizing about my sexuality..

    I've always thought my gaydar sucked!its really strange and im trying to figure out what does the "gaydar" consist of? all i can figure out is that having a good gaydar is about having a strange feeling that is undescribible...

    Lucy may be straight...but that Renee O'Connor is putting off a certain vibe if you ask me. But then I've ALWAYS thought that! If you watch any DVD's of the show then you might notice that, during the interviews in the extras, when they are interviewed together there's a certain adoration twinkling away in Ms. O'Connor's eye... I'm just sayin'

    I've seen clips of Renée shaking that fringed mini-dress, and OMG. So hot. I really hope I manage to get to one of those shows one day... Thanks for an awesome post! (With inspiring pictures. Next; off to watch some Xena DVDs.)

    Incidentally enough, TMZ on TV (I know, I know, but there was nothing else on) just had a piece on Lucy Lawless actually stopping to sign autographs for the money-hungry paps. One pap said, "Lucy, you're the best!" and she answered, "Yes I am. Tell that to everyone you know." Then the TMZ guy reporting the whole piece said, "By the way, she looks hot. Like, really, really hot."

    Well, duh.

    I love xena and all the glorious subtext, but for some reason, even though the idea of lucy and renee dancing up there as lucy sang is appealing, it just kind of transcends reality. I just cannot believe that this is happening. Its like scully and mulder just showed up at my door, telling me I passed some secret encoded test i and that they wanted to recruit me.

    I'm still laughing and smiling. What a beautiful world we live in.

    Oh my, Lucy and them eyes. She is just (Oh my God!)

    I hope that one day they decide to do a Xena movie. I have it all in my head, that Gabrielle is traveling home with Xena's ashes and a lot of bad guys want to take the ashes from her. Xena did her pennace with the orientals and they give her life back.  Well that's all I have for now, but a movie would be GREAT and a collector's item.
