Lez Talk about 'Fox' (Part 2)

So a few posts ago I wrote about the web series, Fox. After a three month hiatus, the crew is back!

New teaser posters featuring the shows two leads, Fox and Mina, played by Monroe Hayden as Fox and Alexis Naiomi as Mina Abrams, reveal that the show is lezing out this season to keep continuity with the chapter series it's based off of.

The plot of the show changed since I last posted about it due to the development of the story line but now it's official. Mina is the girl who gets lost in her dream and a more darker, seductive Fox will guide her through it. The series is still a prequel to the Daisy series but looks so much hotter!

I mean...

(Alexis Naiomi and Monroe Hayden steam things up)

I hope I don't offend any of the actresses by saying this but they look like they're enjoying it. There seems to be the tiniest of smiles in Alexis Naiomi's (the bottom one) expression and as for Monroe Hayden... oh, that Monroe Hayden! She looks like she's ready to take all of Naiomi's clothes off! Doesn't she? And Naiomi doesn't seem to mind! The perfect combo of partnership is at work here with Hayden's intensity and Naiomi's innocence. If they didn't enjoy it, they probably get along really well and we should expect fantastic chemistry from both. Hopefully the writing is good and the cinematography matches the posters.

Here's another :

(Mina and Fox)

This one is great because it shows that this version of Fox isn't the same one we all fell in love with in the books. This one is different. She's darker and much more seductive. We aren't complaining though! Since Daisy was focused on, well, Daisy- it's nice to see a different side to our favorite character and since it's a prequel, it's interesting to see how Fox develops into the patient, caring and soft yet intimidating woman that Daisy couldn't stop thinking about. Let's not forget about Mina. In the books, Mina is the girl on the motorcycle that Daisy mistakes for Fox in real life. The Mina in the books is darker, edgier and tougher than Naiomi's version in the series most likely because the character is younger. It's interesting how both characters are somewhat opposite of their counterparts.

Here's one of Mina:

Those eyes match the ones described in the book. And that makeup!!! On point! Alexis Naiomi is an Import model and after looking through her Instagram, stuff like this are not her usual gigs. I was almost floored when I read that she is only 18!!!! The problem with Import or Pin Up modelling is it cages you in. You have to be sexy, period! Nobody cares about emotions or expressing them through your face! You have to sell sex, practically but the crew behind the Fox series has managed to make her look intelligent, innocent and most of all, like an actual human being rather than just another pretty face. Judging by her portfolio and these photo's, she's got talent. Hopefully her performance will be convincing. By the way, I'm pretty sure she's straight for anyone wondering.

Here's one of Fox:

I can't even... I'm having a hard time focusing on typing right now because damn! Monroe Hayden is so frickin' distracting!!!! How did Alexis Naiomi hold it together without giggling or getting hot? I wouldn't be surprised if Fox becomes the new Shane McCutcheon, you know? Will it happen? Probably not as the show is not on Showtime but this version of Fox is just seductive. Look at those eyes! It's all there. And that slight smirk on her face is just enough to keep you looking. Hayden has always been the kind of woman who fits in the universally sexy category as in, both men and women want her. Fox will probably make her iconic if it gets big. Hayden has different kinds of modelling experience than Naiomi. Not so much Import, more artistic and more action. Hayden's 'secret' career has made her diverse in different areas in front of the camera from Kaika Fox's Timeless campaign to Johann Plishcke to Blocked Apparel. She will return alongside Kaika Fox (another Fox, lol) as Athena, Goddess of War in The Olympians gallery, which apparently she is buffing up for. For those who saw the animated film, Little Red, behold the voice behind Red herself! Hopefully, Monroe Hayden does the character justice and performs well.

Here's another of Alexis and Monroe:

Ok! This has got to be one of the most beautiful photos I've ever seen in lesbian history! Not that the actresses are lesbians but damn they could be for each other judging by this pic! There is such a tenderness in both their expressions! It makes me excited for the series as it appears that they're offering something new with a lesbian romance mixed with fantasy.

I have high hopes for Fox!

Lez Talk About 'Fox'!

In March of last year I wrote a blog about a digital chapter series called Daisy by Xavier Haven about a girl who, literally, falls in love with her dream girl. The series received great reviews but not a huge audience, mainly because people don't like to read when they're online. So when I heard there was a possibility of making a web series, I knew I would flip out since the story is just awesome.

Well, a web series was made but it's not Daisy... it's called, Fox. Fox is the dream girl Daisy falls in love with. Her character is never really confirmed to exist or to be a figment of Daisy's imagination but with the new web series, hopefully are questions are answered. Is Fox real? Where did she come from? How was she forgotten? She is, afterall, my favorite character and I'm pretty sure everyone else's.

(Spoilers Ahead!!!!!!!!!!)

(Monroe Hayden as Fox)

Each episode is fairly short, the first one lasts for about 2 minutes- tops but it is intense. One thing I noticed about the episode is that it's darker than the Daisy series. It starts off by the lake, just like in the story where Daisy and Fox meet on a regular basis in The Forgotten World. The sound of children giggling haunts the environment just like Daisy described in the story. Obviously, for those who read the series, we know that the giggling are memories of the both of them when they were little. The entire first half of the episode is translated onto film exactly like in the story!!!

Then it gets eerie when a dark presence lures Fox deeper into the forest and ultimately her dream. That's when the environment changes to reveal a darker world surrounded by dead trees and hardly any sunlight. It is very much like in the story when Fox takes Daisy to the lake and they go through a creepy forest before they get to the beauty that the lake offers.

Monroe Hayden, who was one of the artists who participated in the original Daisy series plays Fox. She and Brandon Teague, another Daisy artist, currently own the rights to the story when they bought it from Haven last year. So far, I think she's doing a good job. We have to keep in mind this takes place before Daisy. So the character, I'm assuming, will develop as the series does to depict the Fox we all imagine in our dreams.

Overall, I think this episode is fantastic. Everything from the cinematography to the music was done exceptionally well, especially the editing. If this episode indicates how each episode will be- the series will take off, no doubt!
