Go forth and fill your libraries with media.

Seriously, thanks to everyone for being so amazing and patient. You are the reason I love Vox.

I was just told that the Amazon Conduit will be fixed by tomorrow. I will post here as soon as I get word that it's back up and running.

I know this has been frustrating and I am sorry there wasn't more I could do to make it less so. I really appreciate your patience though.

Cheers,

daisy

Bad news. As many of you have probably noticed, the Amazon Conduit was not fixed in the last week's release. Unfortunately, there was an undetected bug that is preventing the conduit from working.

We are working on this bug fix and hope to have the Conduit back up and running this week.

I will keep you posted.

Thank you for being so patient.

Tja, wie wäre es mit ein bißchen Deutsch bloggen für einmal? Zur Ehre der tollen Festival Macherinnen des Fiber in Wien! Rampenfiber kommt eigentlich von Rampensau + Bühnenfieber, also mindestens ist das meine Definition und es trifft auch 100%. Fantastic programme, great musicians, cool mix and good discussions... I came back with awesome CDs from my colleagues and heard them while the washing machine was doing the drums... my Tshirts were soaked from energy, challenge to be back on stage after 6 months creative break, with some new stuff, but the most soaking experience was for sure the emotion of the audience, yeah, Vienna, I asked you to show me what you've got, und Ihr habt es mir echt gegeben :-) so, muß jetzt die Wäsche hängen. Und die CD von allroh noch einmal hören, die geht unter der Hautmembranen und läßt meine Sinnsensoren explodieren. Und danach Lissi Dancefloor Disaster, um den Schlafmangel ein wenig zu verschieben. Und danach, vielleicht, endlich mal tanzen. Äh, schlafen.

A friend told me I looked like a mega trav' with that dress. No wonder i could win the Trav'Academy on December 28th in my childhood town Nice ;-) Actually, I was simply on holiday with no intention except doing nothing... didn't even know about clubs there until I met Emmanuel (who gave me the flyer...) and Jean-Baptiste...
He said the Klub was THE club to go, the biggest gay venue on the Côte d'azur.
And there was this drag contest coming up (actually, drag queen contest as I am not so sure they saw many kings before last night...).
And the fact is I broke my rib by helping somebody on the train a couple of days ago...
And the person I trust most keeps telling me the stage is always healing me.
So I decided to go. To heal, of course. I always forget everything on stage. Pain, doubt, tireness, tensions, the stage is the place to be... indeed I had no choice, right?

I decided to improvise Femme like You with a minimum of accessoires and bought the rest in a rush hour, and finally convinced the Jury and the audience, first puzzled about who the f* I could be, a man or a woman, I heard it was the question of the night! 

The very best was as the Ex of Jean Baptiste asked me: but how could you win if you're not even in drag? :-)  Guys, I tell you, I have to work on my passing to allow more trans*visibility..

But the most important was to meet LaBlack, Emmanuel at the technique, Moussette, Ilona, Arnaud et Karim qui en a même décidé de tourner gay... hmm..

Alors comme j'ai gagné entre autres un week-end à Nice, je reviendrais y remettre le feu cet été!

(The video is only for the hard core fans... be careful: I took the sound away so your hears wouldn't be scratched forever... but be careful not to screw your neck while watching...)

BONNE ET HEUREUSE ANNÉE À TOUS!!!! les chiffres de 2009 semblent dejá très érotiques non...? ;-9

Well - I thought one world tour would be enough.. but at the end after the tour is before the tour, right? After a 6 months break to regenerate, I just rocked the feminist music festival rampenfiber (yeah, without an e) l in Vienna this week-end! read more in the next post below... then in october I'll be flying to the States to the next International Drag King Extravaganza with the theme "No Borders"... and then attend the ILGA trans*rights conference in Malta by the end of the month plus the anti-violence conference in San Sebastian by the end of November. A nice fall programme, I would say... you coming? :-)

The Amazon Conduit will be working again on October 15, 2009. Thank you to everyone for your patience.

Have a great weekend,

daisy, Team Vox

In my last Team Vox post, I let you know that we're aware that the Amazon conduit is broken and that we're working to fix it. Many of you want to know when it's going to be fixed and I'm so sorry I haven't gotten back to you about that sooner.

Unfortunately, I don't have an exact date to give you, but rest assured, the Amazon conduit will be fixed in the coming weeks.

In the meantime, I'm about to finish my latest book and I could use a few suggestions as to what to read next, so... if you don't mind, let me know in the comments what's on your nightstand and/or what book you think I absolutely must read next.

Thanks! :)

Some of you may have noticed that right now you cannot add books from Amazon to your Vox library. Giving people a glimpse into what's on your night stand is important to many of you, so I just wanted to reassure you that we are doing our best to get this bug fixed. I'll keep you posted.

So sorry for the inconvenience.

Hope you have a great weekend!
