Heather Lynn and xtinaknox are two writers with interdisciplinary artist undertones. HL is from Chicago IL and XTINA is from Vancouver BC (in Canada, brrrr). They have been friends/contemporaries since January of 1995 (10th grade!!!) when they became penpals care of their respective fanzines.
The Christimas Island myspace page was created because it was their shared country on this site. There is a collective of sorts, which has little to do with the friends list on this site (at least XTINA's contribution to it), and this page, largely ignored and neglected due to myspace just not being all that interesting at this juncture. Nonetheless, this has remained up as a small index of somewhat interesting female artists of no real assumed spiritual or political alliance or kinship.Christmas Island was coined as a "thing" by xtinaknox in late 2004 during a period in her life when she wandered around wearing a scissor altered childrens baby doll dress printed in doves and snowflakes drinking over steeped green tea with liquorice and ginger root from a christmas printed "latte" mug despite it being the middle of summer. She changed her Friendster and MySpace default locations to Christmas Island and that was that.Heather Lynn chose to sign onto Christmas Island soon thereafter because it sounded cool and blocking on this seemed fitting and it became a bit more of a “thingâ€.They made this profile during an era where collective collaboration seemed very fitting. There was some talk of some photography shows and publishing efforts that have been put on hiatus while they engage in their own independent projects.
