Phaylen Fairchild Productions : WOW! I’m Blogging!

This is either going to be great or disastrous! I haven’t decided yet. It’s an odd sensation having my own voice now - for once I’m not writing on behalf of DiVAS or Survivor or my designs. It’s me in my rawest form, truly the first time I’ve expressed myself outside a character I play or a job I have and thats a little refreshing!

I’m new at this, so I’ll have to ease myself in one foot at a time. I have plenty to say, and I suppose this is the place to indulge myself. I’m not a ranter but I most certainly can be! I guess my goal for this site is to have it develop organically over time. I’ll talk about projects in production, machinima, second life and my adventure through the metaverse. Maybe people will read, maybe they won’t, but for ages I’d wanted a place that was solely mine where I could be myself without responsibilities to an entity beyond myself.

I love contributing to the DiVAS blog, but really, that’s a character - and that encompasses a performance as that character when in context. While it’s certainly safe to say that there are parts of me that are quintessentially that Phaylen character that many people have come to know, many people seem so shocked that it’s not me on a 24/7 basis. I don’t wear a beehive, I’m only occasionally as daft as that woman whose skin I’ve inhabited for a year and a half, and thank heavens I have better fashion sense. It’s always a little disconcerting when I meet someone who has seen the show and they appear to be visibly disturbed by the fact that I’m not flouncing around in wig, doused in spandex with an extra long cigarette dangling from my lips. I even had one woman ask me ever so politely if i could put on the beehive for her and do the walk.

It’s 3:30am and I’m incredibly excited about this new venture - the launch of the production company and the endless amounts of babbling that will occur right here on this page. Despite the tingling bots of anticipation at my fingertips as I ponder the countless discussions that are sure to ensue here, my eyelids are falling fast and the design of this site is nearly finished - just a couple of layout issues we’re working on and then we can consider it another project “in the can.” And with that, I’m taking myself off to bed.
