5/18/13 -- Bids for Kids press release note
from Lucy:
“I
am incredibly fortunate to have an amazing
fan base around the globe many of whom
willingly support causes I am passionate
about. Although of course I’ve got my
own voice on my answering machine, if I can
offer that to someone else and it generates
much needed funds for Starship Children’s
Hospital then I’d be thrilled!” Lucy says.
4/1/13 -- (note from Lucy on 120
Hours project:
Dear friends, our job
on this planet is to make our children's
physical and social environment safer.
Thank-you all for giving your time to enrich
your own communities. I love that my fans
don't care about lipstick. We ain't perfect
but we try to do the right thing always.
I am proud of you
all!
Lucy

After hurling ourselves off the rigging of the
Tucker Thompson, into the cool clear waters of
Matauri, I hitched a ride over to the Rainbow
Warrior III. Very exciting to be back on
board with some of the original crew of the RW
I, which was bombed by the French Govt in
1985. The ceremony took place at the
resting place of the original ship. A
very moving ceremony hosted by the Greenpeace
crew and the Ngati Kura, who put everyone up
at the marae.
Looking forward to seeing you all in LA!

My dear friends,
I have read thru each and every Feel the
Love pledge and I am so grateful for your
continued generosity. From donating
blood, to blankets, clean water awareness
and Starship support, I want you to know how
wonderful it is to be part of your movement
to spread more joy. You are absolutely
the best fans in the world. Ren and I
are so lucky.
I am looking forward to seeing you again in
Jan!
In other silly news, Sharon has inspired me
to take tap-dancing lessons and I intend to
video the whole sorry saga. Just 30
second vids which I'll tweet, if I can
figure out how. It's going to be daft
and a bit embarrassing. You're going
to love it.
Hooray for everything!

Australian Power
Shift Youth Climate Summit July
13 - 15 --
This
July, 2,000 young people will come
together to shift Australia away
from fossil fuels towards renewable
energy. Together we can change the
game on climate. Lucy will be
participating via video link.
5/16/13 -- Back in mid December,
Lucy was in town and came to my tap
dancing class. That's when she told
me she was potentially going to play Velma
in Chicago at the Auckland Theatre Company
in November. Had to sit on that one
for so long! Then she did a tweet
about how she was "Going to base my
character on Borderline personality of
Jodi Arias when I play Velma in ATC's
CHICAGO in November." But the
contract wasn't signed yet so I still
couldn't post. She was just starting
to work on characterization.
Finally I got the email last night
"Just gone official on Chicago."
Hot diggity!
4/15/13 -- Read Lucy's
tweets from today's @SundanceChannel and @AfterEllen

be #5. Okay, I'll wait
another week. <G> LUCY IN TOP
OF THE LAKE EPISODE 5
AIRING ON THE SUNDANCE CHANNEL IN THE U.S.
MONDAY, APRIL 8
4/1/13 -- I sent the link
to the list of all the 120 Hours project
contributors to Lucy and she just
popped me back a message. See her
note above. Love the reference to
diving in to get our hands dirty and not
minding if our lipstick has worn
off <G> I'm putting
together the photos to make a
mini-movie. I'll be dropping a
note to everyone who wrote in.
Again, many thanks for your support for
this project. It was fun for me to
read all about what you were doing and
it seems you had a good time too.
3/31/13 -- 704 hours
of service to their families, friends,
neighbors, strangers, communities and
the Earth were volunteered by Lucy's
fans in honor of her birthday!
Never in my wildest dreams did I think
we'd hit a number like that. If
you haven't checked out the page yet, wander
over and read all about it.
I'm speechless!
3/28/13 -- Another four
days, another 65 hours added to the 120
Hours Project! Total is now up to
377 1/2. Do you think we can make
400? We are so close. There
are 3 days left in March!
<G>
3/24/13 -- Just
added another 61 hours today to the 120
Hours Project! I'm running out of
exclamation points!!!!!!! This is
amazing and so much fun! 6 more
days to go.
3/24/13 -- We're
up to 251 hours in the 120 Hours
Project!!!!!! I'm gathering the
photos to put together into a mini-movie
when the project is done to send to Lucy
along with the list. Yes, you can
do more than one project. Yes,
Earth Hour counts. How high can we
go in this last week? Go ahead,
surprise me <G>
Lucy's episode of Top of the Lake airs
on the Sundance channel in the US on
Monday, April 1!
3/16/13 -- 120
Hours project now up to 203 1/2.
We've added some teaching, lawyering and
helping neighbors. Keep the notes
coming! We're almost at double the
120 hours! Thanks :)
3/13/13 -- Up to 189
hours! We're taking care of young
people, senior citizens, pups,
family. Cleaning our neighborhoods
and rivers and recycling. Helping
people cope in the bad weather that's
all over the planet! Climate
change anyone? Awesome! Keep
'em coming. We're only halfway
through the month.
3/12/13 -- My goodness you guys are
good! We've already hit 129 1/2
hours in the 120 Hours Project.
What do you think? Can we
double it? And, yes, you can do more
than one project.
3/10/13 -- The 120 Hours project has
begun! Cool things people are doing
and messages coming in from all over the
world! Check out the website
to see what folks are doing.
3/9/13 -- Made a list at the top of all
the things people have been asking and
added a Twitter aspect to the
project! Tomorrow I'll start listing
the hours done so far as well as uploading
the webpage with your messages and what
you're doing.
As for the note about taking a photo of
yourself doing your project, for those who
have already written me, I'll be sending
you a note asking if you can go back and
take a picture of yourself at your
project. I thought I'd make a movie
of all the photos submitted for the
website. I think Lucy will get a
real kick out of that.
3/8/13 -- The "120 Hours" messages are
starting to come in! I'll start the
tally going this weekend.
3/6/13 -- UPDATE 3: No, each person is not
supposed to do 120 hours! Each
person does however many hours they can
this month and we total all our hours up
together to see if we can hit 120.
3/5/13 -- "120
Hours" UPDATE 2: The project is to
do the community service this month
between March 1 - 31 to be part of the
tally.
3/4/13 -- "120 Hours" UPDATE: There's a
bit of confusion about what we're doing
this year compared to previous
years. You need to do something
specific during the month of March.
Here's an example:
Sharon
-- California, USA -- I volunteered at the
Burbank Animal Shelter -- March 3 -- 2
hours
3/2/13 -- It's Lucy's birthday month,
March 29! I came up with "120 Hours"
as a way for fans to participate in the
festivities and help her celebrate her
special day. Lucy thought it was a
really cool idea. Check out the note
at the top of the page.
2/27/13 -- In the acting world, there are
heaps of "maybes" and very few
"definites." When I know something
for certain, I'll post it on Lucy's
website, tweet it @sharondel
and facebook it at sharon.delaney.
This applies to the possibility Lucy might
do the play Chicago in New
Zealand.
Strike
-- An Exhibition of Matchbox Art for
Amnesty International
Keeping it green, kiwi actress Lucy
Lawless used a plant that survives on
humid air to customise her
matchbox. Strike is an auction of
Matchbox Art created by various artists,
designers, musicians and more,
especially for Amnesty International and
featuring tiny art measuring just 5cm x
7cm created on Beehive Matchboxes.
All money raised from this sale will
help fund Amnesty International’s work
to protect the human all over the world.
2/2/13 -- We Did It For The Future --
Lucy Lawless
It's almost a year since we
climbed the Shell-contracted drilling rig,
Noble Discoverer. Landing on the
pier that day we felt dwarfed by the vast 53
meter drill tower that sat atop this rusting
hulk which Shell was to use to pioneer their
drilling programme in the Arctic.
Insignificant as we were we felt something
had to be done – a light had to be shone on
Shell’s insane plans to drill for oil in the
icy Arctic wilderness. Not in my
wildest dreams did I think we would succeed
as we did remaining atop the drill tower for
over 77 hours. (read
