** Lucy Lawless, a woman at ease with life 

03.08.2002


Lucy Lawless is a picture of motherhood as she breastfeeds her baby while wearing fishnet stockings. 

The Xena star and mother of three looks sexy and at ease in this poster produced to highlight World Breastfeeding Week. And that is the irony of the picture, says the woman who came up with the idea. 

Sian Burgess, a breastfeeding advocate for Women's Health Action, says people are bombarded with the "sexual breast". 

"We have breasts in the front page of women's magazines but we don't have the functioning, lactating breast portrayed that way." These breasts were portrayed in a weird, frumpy, hippy or unusual way.  

She hoped the sexy poster of the TV star breastfeeding her youngest son, Judah Tapert, would encourage women to breastfeed. Research showed 98 per cent of women wanted to breastfeed when they were pregnant but by the time the child was six months old fewer than 7 per cent were exclusively breastfeeding.

** From AFP, quoting Dominion-Post:

Lucy Lawless, the persona behind the television series "Xena: Warrior Princess" is using her striking assets to promote World Breastfeeding Week which begins Thursday.

As Xena she became known for the bold leather bodice costume used to fend off mythical forces of evil. Now she stars quietly breastfeeding her three-month-old son, Judah, the Dominion-Post newspaper reported. Lawless features on a poster to be circulated throughout New Zealand to promote breastfeeding.

More than 120 countries are expected to take part in the World Breastfeeding Week activities.

** added link to a TV Guide (Insider) Online article -- Who Should Play Wonder Woman? (July 8, 2002). Lucy was among the choices seen as playing the role.

Lucy Lawless: A long-rumored contender for the role, the Xena: Warrior Princess star already has played an Amazon royal who consorts with Greek gods. And since her Xena character always displayed lesbian leanings, Lawless shouldn't have any trouble fitting in on the females-only Paradise Island!

And wasn't there something REALLY familiar about the Punk Rock Girl who, when asked about Spidey, purrs, "Guy with eight hands. Sounds hot"? That's because it was an incognito superhero: Lucy Lawless, whose show Xena: Warrior Princess was exec produced by Raimi.

Message from Lucy regarding the Kevin Smith trust fund

"I've been wanting to thank all those nice people who care about Kevin and gave money at the convention. I wanted to say that I'm sorry that a place for their money to go wasn't arranged sooner. It was simply that the people who were arranging it were so close to Kevin and needed time to support his wife and family. I want the fans to know they weren't being ignored. I don't want them to feel disrespected. Tell them I'm sorry I haven't sent word. Every day I say I've got to write a letter and I'm just out of words. I know that his wife and children will take a great deal of heart of how much Kevin meant to people out there that they don't even know. It's going to help them through this tough time. Please thank everyone so much for me."
-- Lucy Lawless

The Kevin Smith Trust Fund has now been set up at the
Auckland Theatre Company to help Kevin's family.
Donations can be sent to:
