Joel Shepherd an Australian science fiction writer and contributor to Borders Blog recently wrote an interesting article about female sexuality in literature and media. Here is an excerpt where he mentions Chiana (Gigi's character on Farscape): I was thinking about this watching DVDs of Farscape, and reflecting that the character of Chiana (played by Gigi Edgley) was unlike almost anything you’ll see on TV — a ‘loose woman’ prone to seducing anything male just for fun, but who is also tough, smart, likable and is given some of the show’s best one liners. And the fact that it’s so rare that this type of character should be likable and even heroic is pretty sad, because it shows that popular culture still has a problem with female sexuality, with women who are overtly sexual in any way still insulted and disrespected, or otherwise treated as though they are no more than the sum of their sexual parts, while male characters are held to an entirely different standard. That’s not to say that good female characters HAVE to be very overtly sexual, Sasha in ‘A Trial of Blood and Steel’ is fairly restrained in that regard thanks to her honour code (which regulates who she sleeps with as well as who she kills). But I think there’s a lot of confusion on the portrayal of female sexuality in all popular culture, and if characters aren’t allowed full access to all of their human dimensions, they’ll be dull.

Earlier I posted a link to Gigi's official Facebook profile. I just wanted to let you guys know that does indeed read all her all her messages and wall posts and responds to them:  How awesome is that? If you are a fan, you should definitely get on Facebook and send her some love. Also, don't forget to vote for her in the Logies. Vote for whomever you want for best actor, then vote for Gigi in the best actress poll. Her code is 176. Tags: |

Gigi attended the Tropfest 2010 Short Film Festival at The Domain in Sydney, Australia on February 21, 2010. There are some nice red carpet pictures floating around the web. 
Image © zimbio.com (click to see the original)She looks stunning as usual. There are some more pics to be found here: These are all stock photo sites, which means the pictures are low resolution and usually watermarked. You need to purchase them to see them at full resolution. I haven't found any free high resolution images from the event. Let me know if you locate some. Tags: |

Gigi is selling more stuff on ebay folks. If you want some autographed stuff out of her closet, go check these things out:  Click on the image to see all the auctions. The LA Charm CD seems to be the best catch here, mainly because it is so rare. The Black+White and FHM combo is very tempting as well. Tags: |

Check it out: Gigi finally joined Facebook. Go friend her NAO!  Yes, this is legit. It was linked from her official home page. I say it's about time. She had a Myspace account for ages now, but it's not like anyone other than spammers and indie bands uses that service anymore. Supposedly she is active and takes time to respond to wall posts. This may of course change soon once everyone finds out about it and we all start spamming her with fan messages. Tags: |
