A young girl... totally in love with Greek Mythology and the idea of a woman who can kick even a god's ass! My love for Xena ran deep. My love for Xena has never died. And my love for Xena has brought great people into my life!
In 1994 - Lucy Lawless guest starred on Hercules: The Legendary Journeys as Xena. A badass warlord looking to destroy any and everything in her path! But like all Heroes... Hercules changed her heart.
She was such a dynamic character, that Lucy won a spinoff show of her own... eventually Xena became more popular than Hercules and the Xena fandom continues to love and support Lucy to this day!
I had it all, every pic I could find on the - then - very new thing called the internet, I became a member of the fan club, even knew about "conventions" that were thrown... Bless my heart, I had no clue what a "convention" was back then.
It wasn't until 2014 that I attended my first Xena "convention." Where Xenites from all over the WORLD came to just have fun in the name of our favorite Warrior Princess! Had I had a better understanding of what a con was, I would have been to every con possible! Unfortunately, I only got to two. 2015, was the 20th anniversary and final Xena Con. What heartache I felt to know I was only a part of this amazing event for just two years. Totally bummer!
But I was about to hear from, talk with, stand in photo ops with my FAVORITE actors and actresses! Xena isn't just a part of a Xenite's life, she's part of our soul! Thank you Xena Con for reigniting my love for this show and for bringing other Xenites into my life!
