00:00Let's give a round of applause for Victoria!
00:10Hello! Thank you!
00:15Hello everybody!
00:18Hello!
00:20Can I tell you how happy I am to be back here in California?
00:25Yeah!
00:28I have been shooting my little butt off in Toronto and let me tell you, it was minus 32 degrees when I left.
00:34So, yeah.
00:37So, very, very, very happy to be back.
00:41I did! Is that a problem?
00:47What's that?
00:49Yeah, he's cute.
00:51Yeah, he's a keeper.
00:54You're cute.
00:55Gosh, I'm so happy to be here.
00:58Okay, well, this is a lesson, a cautionary tale.
01:02Read your itinerary before you go.
01:04Uh-oh.
01:06I thought I was going to London.
01:08And I get to the airport and I look at my itinerary and I'm like, London to Manchester.
01:13Manchester to Blackwell. What the fresh hell is this?
01:18I end up in Blackwell. We end up having a wonderful time.
01:21But, I walked on stage, much like this, to like 2,000 people.
01:25It was huge because it was like Star Trek and Buffy and like the whole kit.
01:28And I walked out, hey everybody! Who's a Zeta fan?
01:31Silence.
01:35Who?
01:36Anybody? Cleopatra!
01:38Silence.
01:39Oh, jeez.
01:41Shame on them!
01:42Anybody seen Newt X?
01:43Dumbass.
01:45Oh, God!
01:46For over an hour, I was talking to my aunt.
01:48She didn't know who I was.
01:49It was just like some cute blonde chick in a low-cut dress.
01:51I'm like, damn!
01:53Oh, my God.
01:54So, before I carry on, is anyone here seen Zeta?
02:01Cleopatra?
02:06Me, next?
02:09Thank you!
02:10I love you.
02:11All of you.
02:12I love you.
02:13So, you know how I like to sort of start these things off with like a little giveaway?
02:17Yeah.
02:18I'm going to, uh, is Jessie out there?
02:21Jessie?
02:24My new friend, Jessie?
02:25I'll be Jessie.
02:26I'll be Jessie.
02:28Damn!
02:29I'll be Jessie.
02:30Someone's already being Zeta over there. I don't worry.
02:33I've been waiting for the moment when Jessie was going to be here.
02:35She was just here. I just saw her.
02:37She's here. She took off?
02:38I don't know where she went.
02:39Who's yelling Mickey?
02:41Jessie.
02:42Where's Jessie?
02:43Get your little buds up here.
02:45I need Jessie to help me out here.
02:46Because she knows every question.
02:47So, she's, yeah.
02:49She's just, you know.
02:51Anyway, so.
02:52It's a little tradition.
02:53If you can call two years a tradition.
02:55At the end of, you know, wrap up you next.
02:57I make a little CD.
02:58Shalimar's Party Tunes.
03:00Oh, yeah!
03:01Hi, Jessie.
03:02How are you?
03:03Everybody know Jessie?
03:04Hi, Jessie.
03:06So, uh, I have five Shalimar Party Tunes Season 2 CDs to give out.
03:11It's not like I'm singing on them.
03:12But I just put together some songs that you can drink margaritas to.
03:16And Jessie, because you would know every question.
03:17Anyway, I'm going to give you one.
03:20But, uh, you have to help me out.
03:21Because you are in charge of looking out there.
03:23Finding the first hand that goes up when I read the questions.
03:25And you don't even have to, like, really know the answers.
03:28Because some of these are just luck.
03:29So, okay, we're going to start.
03:31Okay.
03:32So, this episode hasn't aired yet.
03:34But if anybody logs on to the website.
03:37Might have an idea of what's going on here.
03:38Who is the guest star in an upcoming episode that is a recipient of Shalimar's next on-screen lip-lock?
03:48No hands.
03:49We have to start giving some clues.
03:53What is it then, darling?
03:56Okay, well, we're going to start.
03:58Clue number one.
03:59I guest starred on his show a couple of years ago.
04:05You're looking for hands.
04:06No hands.
04:07Okay.
04:08He just did a little stint on Dawson's Creek.
04:11That's right.
04:12Come on up here.
04:13Get your own Shalimar Season 2 party seating.
04:18Wow.
04:19You guys are just like Xena, Cleopatra, Mutant X-Men.
04:20I love you all.
04:21I'm so glad you didn't know that.
04:22I just, you rock.
04:29Okay.
04:30Excellent.
04:31Okay.
04:32What do the LaFemme Nikita and Miss Shalimar Fox share as a common bond?
04:40This is in an upcoming episode.
04:41You would not know this unless you guessed.
04:43Any hands?
04:44No.
04:45There's none.
04:46No, no.
04:47There's none.
04:48They don't know who their father is?
04:49What's that?
04:50They don't know who their father is?
04:51No, but we do.
04:53We do.
04:54That's the thing.
04:55We do.
04:56Because you got a lot.
04:57No, but you know, you have to guess the dad.
05:00Okay, so.
05:01You don't know his father.
05:05He was in LaFemme Nikita.
05:06Does anybody know who Nikita's dad turned out to be?
05:09Who might also be my dad?
05:15You guys suck.
05:20I love her.
05:21I love you guys.
05:22I love you.
05:23What's that?
05:25No, it's Eugene Glazer.
05:26Her father was operations.
05:27Turns out to be my dad.
05:28Turns out to be my dad.
05:30World exclusive, my dad.
05:33See, these are really, really hard.
05:34Okay, did anyone see the FHM magazine that I was in?
05:37Yeah.
05:38Okay.
05:39Just for the articles.
05:41Yeah.
05:42Yeah.
05:43Okay, so now keep your eyes open here for the first hand.
05:46I was at an appearance for LaBatte.
05:49I used to work for LaBatte.
05:52And I got licked in a very strange spot in an appearance.
05:54Does anyone know where I was licked?
05:58No.
05:59Who has armpits?
06:02Come up here, armpit lady.
06:06Yeah, I was at a bar.
06:08And, you know, we sort of set up for pictures and everything.
06:11And, you know, people come up and, you know, you're taking pictures and everything.
06:14He stuck his head in my arm and he buried me there.
06:16I couldn't get him out.
06:17It was like to be balanced out of the bar.
06:18It was really weird and strange.
06:20I have apparently really nice armpits.
06:22You have really nice armpits.
06:24Yeah, really.
06:28Oh, and I think the powers that I have are going to take a power of my coaster.
06:32Oh.
06:33You know what?
06:34I got to tell you.
06:35I think I have one of the most exciting powers.
06:38For me, I love it.
06:39I love the physical aspect of it.
06:41And I think it's just sort of because I've been an athlete all my life, I love to run
06:44and jump and do physical things, so I love that.
06:47But I got to tell you, little Lauren, plays Emma, is developing some real messed up powers.
06:52She's like a real head tripper.
06:54And she can make you think what she wants.
06:56She can make you say what she wants you to say.
06:58She can make you feel what she wants you to feel.
07:01She's creepy.
07:03She's a very creepy girl because you won't take home to mom.
07:06And I wouldn't want to have her.
07:08You know what?
07:10They've given us all real cool powers.
07:11But I guess being a physical person, I have to keep the ones I have.
07:16Hello.
07:18Do you remember that scene in Sins of the Past where you and Sina were changing clothes?
07:22Yes.
07:23How was that scene shot?
07:24It was shot.
07:25Well, first of all, it was very cold.
07:27It was shot in New Zealand's winter.
07:30It was freezing, freezing cold.
07:32And they used this.
07:33Does anybody remember that scene in Sin Trades where I'm naked?
07:37Yes.
07:38Yes.
07:39Yes.
07:40And Sina's not, and then she is.
07:48So they borrowed from a Hong Kong action show.
07:52It was very, very cool.
07:54It's where I actually start off fully clothed.
07:57And so, you know, I have to take off my top.
08:00So I go like this.
08:02And then they reverse print it.
08:04I'm just sort of like taking her top and putting it on me.
08:07It was really crazy.
08:08It took forever because it was so detailed.
08:10It had, like, whatever actions you mimic taking off the top, you had to mimic putting it back on.
08:15So it was crazy.
08:17And then, you know, you're naked and you've got, you know, 50 crew people around looking at you.
08:23Woo!
08:24Hey, you okay?
08:25You stand up here.
08:26I'm going to take you on down.
08:28So, yeah, it was really awkward.
08:29It was awkward.
08:30We were naked for, like, a whole day, and Lucy and I were just like, yeah, okay, we're naked.
08:33So get over it.
08:34So, yeah, it was just a crazy day of reverse printing.
08:37And then the same thing for her.
08:39You know, she was like, whose clothing had to be naked?
08:42So it was just, like, you know, it was really weird.
08:45You would have loved to have been there.
08:47That's what you love.
08:50I wish I could go back.
08:53Hi, Vicki.
08:54How are you?
08:55I'm fine.
08:56It's a pleasure to finally meet you.
08:58Comes and blows my world apart.
09:02Daddy's back.
09:04And it's very cool.
09:05We get to see another side of Adam that we haven't seen in a long time either, sort of confronting all the issues.
09:09You know, because Adam's kind of responsible for me losing contact with my family,
09:12but he's also the one that has given me a family since I was, you know, a young, scared teenager.
09:17So it's kind of a trippy episode for Shalamar.
09:20She reunites with her dad after years and years and years and years.
09:24And it was very, very cool.
09:27And Eugene was excellent to work with.
09:29So if any of you FM Nikita fans, Operations, Eugene Glazer, very fun to work with.
09:35We had a lot of fun together.
09:40Hello.
09:42Did you just say bye, Sandra, over there?
09:45Oh, you protected me.
09:46Look at these dangerous people out here rushing the stage trying to do me harm.
09:51Joy, how are you?
09:52Good, how are you?
09:53Good.
09:54Your hair's gotten long.
09:55Yeah.
09:57I recently read that you worked with the San Jose Sharks and the Toronto Maple Leafs.
10:02Yes, I did.
10:03What were you doing?
10:06For any of you who didn't hear it, Joy just asked whether or not I worked with the San Jose Sharks and the Toronto Maple Leafs.
10:10Any hockey fans out there?
10:13Excellent.
10:14I actually went to York University in Toronto, and I have a kinesiology degree from there.
10:19And I actually worked in their human performance lab while I was going to school.
10:24And York University, we were lucky enough to have probably the foremost athletic training and testing center in the country.
10:32And we were responsible for testing the Toronto Maple Leafs during their training camp.
10:38They're training.
10:39Oh, cool, because my dad is the hugest hockey fan.
10:42I sort of go, yeah, you know, like I was with Wendell today.
10:46Family.
10:47An incestuous, wrong family, but a family.
10:52I've got to tell you, we have so much fun together.
10:54You know, I kind of wish that people could be a fly on the wall to sort of witness it.
10:58But we're really looking forward to season three, and we're really happy to be coming back.
11:04What's that?
11:07It's such a great feeling because you spend so much time with these people every day, like, you know, 15, 16 hours a day with these people.
11:17And if you didn't get along, it would be horrendous.
11:21And it's gotten to the point over the last couple of years where, you know, kind of anything goes.
11:27And it's just, like I said, it's become a really incestuous, weird, happy family.
11:33And I was talking with T.D. the other day.
11:36So our big sound technician, I call him, like, the king of sound.
11:40His name is Dan.
11:41He's the Mac Daddy.
11:42He's the guy who writes.
11:43What are you talking about?
11:44He came to the sound booth, and he was, you know, 10 days red, and he was nervous.
11:48He was sweating.
11:49He was shaking.
11:50I'm like, what happened?
11:51He says, well, you made him find the sound pack.
11:53You hid it.
11:54You wouldn't tell him where it was.
11:55I'm like, oh.
11:59I'm sorry, Dan.
12:01But I didn't realize he's sort of been following my career since, you know, Fit and Muscle Mag and Oxygen and Once a Thief.
12:08And so he was sort of like a fan.
12:10I didn't realize.
12:11And then, you know, he comes to set, and I torture him.
12:16I felt really bad.
12:19Kind of, but not really.
12:22So that was sort of a fun thing.
12:25Guys, you know, it has really turned into a freak show.
12:30It's my greeting to a lot of people on set, like to John and to Forbes and sometimes to Lauren, depending on the mood.
12:36It's like I walk up to people, hey, how you doing?
12:38And I sort of grab their boobs or their breasts or whatever you call them.
12:41They have pecs, I suppose.
12:43And so you do this to Forbes, and Forbes is sort of an argumentative guy.
12:46And he's like, you know, you do that to me, I'm going to do it to you.
12:50No, you're not.
12:52Next day, hey, Forbes.
12:55You do that to me, I'm going to do it to you.
12:57No, you're not.
12:59Next day, hey, Forbes.
13:01What do I get?
13:05And he really did it.
13:06He grabbed my boobs.
13:07He grabbed, like, both my boobs.
13:09He was like, I told you I was going to do it.
13:11I was like, I totally can't believe he did it.
13:15That's not the worst part.
13:17So, like, that's sort of our greeting from now on.
13:20I'm like, hey, Forbes.
13:23Well, I usually wear a bra.
13:28And women, underwires, yes, they're our friends.
13:32We're not ashamed to admit it.
13:34We wear underwear bras.
13:35They lift, separate, do all those good things.
13:38The last day I come to set, Forbes is like, hey, it's the last day.
13:42I was wearing a shirt that you can't wear a bra with.
13:46I was like, hey, it's the last day.
13:50Oh, my God.
13:52I'm sorry.
13:53I'm sorry.
13:55Those are your boobs.
13:56You gathered my boobs.
13:57You're wearing a bra.
13:58I'm like, no, I'm totally not wearing a bra.
14:02He almost died.
14:04He was wearing his first boobs even at the dude's wedding.
14:09Yep.
14:12I'll never forget it.
14:13It's the first day and it's the look of horror.
14:18So I'm not wearing a bra today either.
14:21I think Forbes is here.
14:22He'll probably be passed out.
14:26But she's not wearing a very big skirt.
14:28She's really embarrassed.
14:29So don't look at her vagina, okay?
14:30I know you can see it if you want to.
14:32Just don't look at it.
14:34She's like, you know, she's silly.
14:36She's got like peaches and cream skin.
14:38She's like really, you know, and a shy girl.
14:41She was, you know, really peachy.
14:43And I helped her out with that.
14:46And she's got a nice vagina.
14:48She didn't want anybody seeing it.
14:49So I said don't look at it.
14:52Speaking of vaginas.
14:53Has anyone seen Want to Be?
14:57They just started playing it again.
14:58It's like, wow, I should be getting some royalties or something from it.
15:00It's been like forever.
15:02I was wearing some tiny little outfits on that show.
15:06Speaking of tiny outfits and sound packs.
15:09They actually had to build a sound pack for me that fit into my underwear.
15:14Because you couldn't wrap around anything.
15:16I was wearing little belly shirts and mini skirts.
15:18So they built one that fit right there.
15:21And then, you know, they run it up and the microphone's here.
15:24So our wardrobe guy, his name was Patrick.
15:28And, you know, a gay man.
15:31You can't have not a gay man working in a wardrobe with women because it just wouldn't work.
15:36So he gave me my trailer.
15:37He gave me this underwear.
15:38And he was like, oh, Vicky, you know how you feel.
15:40People would love to have my job and I don't care.
15:43And I have to put this in your vagina all the time.
15:47It's like, good job.
15:52I'm thinking, that's a good movie idea.
15:55You know?
15:56Who orders it and who's not gay?
16:02I'm going to cast Brian.
16:04The sound guy.
16:06The sound guy.
16:09But I think Victor wants to hit it.
16:17My experience on Once a Thief?
16:20Once a Thief was my very first acting job ever.
16:23I had been taking acting classes for a couple of years.
16:27It was the editor from Muscle Mag and Oxygen who convinced me to take acting classes.
16:30Which I did.
16:31He just said, you know what, you're going to want to do it, so just do it.
16:34So I took acting classes for a couple of years.
16:36Finally got up the courage to get an agent.
16:38And so I took my package around to three different agencies that I thought would sort of suit my needs.
16:44And the first person that called back, I said, okay, I'll take you.
16:48And they submitted me on my very first episode of Once a Thief.
16:52And so my first episode, my first job, my first audition, and I got it.
16:57And it was very, very, very cool.
16:59Which is actually where I met TJ Scott.
17:03But, yeah, it was an incredible, incredible experience.
17:07To just kind of step into a great external world.
17:13Do you know what?
17:16That was a freaky experience.
17:18I don't know if you heard the question.
17:19She asked what it was like to work on Sin Tres.
17:21Raising the trees and with the harness and everything.
17:24My first ever real fight scene.
17:26I mean, I did some gunfights and stuff in Once a Thief.
17:28But my first sort of combat scene was with Xena.
17:32Can you imagine?
17:34Your first ever fight scene with Xena?
17:36I was very nervous.
17:38She's very good.
17:40But we had a really good fight team there.
17:42And we had the same fight team when we did Claypatch 2525.
17:47They were so cool.
17:49They made you feel so comfortable.
17:51And they just made you feel like you were that kind of action person.
17:57That it was good.
17:59It turned out okay.
18:01And the running in the trees part.
18:03I just wish that all of you guys could go to New Zealand and see what they built.
18:08They were crazy.
18:10They had a department, art department.
18:13Every department worked together to create this amazing illusion.
18:17And they built this huge scaffolding up into the forest.
18:20And stuck boughs off of it to make it look like you were actually running through treetops.
18:25When you were actually running on a scaffolding that had been built 20 feet off the ground with the trees.
18:29It was wild.
18:31It was just magnificent.
18:33It was the first thing I'd ever seen that was so huge like that.
18:37The action of it was amazing.
18:39But the work behind the scenes on that show was just...
18:42It would blow your mind.
18:44It would just blow your mind.
18:46And I remember the first time when I got the job and I flew to New Zealand.
18:49Just sort of talking about that scope.
18:52When I went for my first wardrobe fitting.
18:54They took me to this warehouse.
18:57And all I smelled was leather.
19:01I love leather.
19:03I really like leather.
19:05This thing was huge.
19:07It was like three times the size of this area that we're in right now.
19:10Of racks and racks and racks of leather.
19:13You could just see every character's name and all the leather that they had.
19:16It's like they've got all kinds of pests over there.
19:19Rabbits and possums and things that they really want to kill.
19:22That you get to wear eventually.
19:24Just racks of skins.
19:26It was the craziest thing I've ever seen.
19:29I mean because our wardrobe department on Once a Thief is like all shopping bags.
19:32For whole rent-free parties.
19:34This is just like kills.
19:36It was dead beasts that you're eventually going to have to wear.
19:39It was wild.
19:41Wow.
