Gregster Kidd for SL in World Today: Hi Spanki - you are a random run of the mill person in SL, right?
Spanki Moulliez: lol no. I'm a superstar dancing escort! ... with a crush on a DJ
GK(SLiWT): Oh OK (bins "Random, Run of the Mill Person" interview questions and takes out "Superstar Dancing Escort with DJ Crush" interview questions)*
GK(SLiWT): Given that I am interviewing you, how do you know me?
Spanki Moulliez: I know you from PGC and MenDance, where I have grown into an obsessive groupie and am currently constructing a small altar to your greatness in my home so i can worship you away from the dance floor, hehe. Complete with naked statue of you, of course!!!
GK(SLiWT): Gregster Kidd: WOOT!!!!!** I guess that answers which DJ you have a crush on - I'm honoured.
Spanki Moulliez: LOLLL - YW!
GK(SLiWT): So Spanki, as a superstar dancing escort, what do you find the most fulfilling aspect of your SL?
Spanki Moulliez: Watching Greg shake his ass on the dancefloor while he bangs out the tunes to make the good-time boys strip down on the dance floor singing "It's OK To Be Gay!"
GK(SLiWT): wow Spanki - that sounds pretty cool***.
GK(SLiWT): Now as a serious reporter, I need to probe down to the depths of your personality
Spanki Moulliez: that wont take long
GK(SLiWT): LoL...
GK(SLiWT): So, with that in mind (the depths that is, not your projected timescale), I need to ask some personal questions.
GK(SLiWT): There are a lot of DJs out there, and I have frequently been asked who my "favourite" is, but I want a more in depth perspective, so who would you consider to be your 3rd favourite SL DJ and why?
Spanki Moulliez: My third favourite? Well, I love Greg, that much is tru. So you are top (I hope you are top, hehe****). Then I love InsyX, cuz he is very cool and I worked with him a lot in the past. And thennnnnnnn... hmmm... Tthere used to be this House DJ called, uhm, oh, i forgot his name. I used to do a lot of House clubs but they are mostly str8 so i stopped cuz i felt uncomfortable. Victorianne i think his name was - So a little off your radar i guess, that choice
GK(SLiWT): Well - there are lots of DJs out there, so that was kind of the reason for my asking!
Spanki Moulliez: I like the DJs who communicate well with their audience, so that's why I enjoy you, cuz you feel like one of the gang and u really have fun with us all. Some DJs can be a little bit, well, um... superior?
GK(SLiWT): LoL - I get you!!
GK(SLiWT): OK - another question for you - who is your favourite person in SL (friend or just someone you know/know of)?
Spanki Moulliez: That is REALLY hard to answer. but i love the guys at Premier Escorts for various reasons, from my friends, who I dance with up, to the management, who always take time out for you if you need to talk over problems or just need a friend. They are like a little family to me.
GK(SLiWT): So you would say that, for you, one of the most important things about SL is real friendships? (leading question - I admit it)
Spanki Moulliez: Absolutely. It's not about the L$ or getting recognition for me. That all pales in comparison with feeling cared about and accepted.
GK(SLiWT): Given that SL is effectively limitless and always being expanded and developed... What would YOU most like to see happen in SL or see SL develop into?
Spanki Moulliez: Oh, in the way off future, i wud love to be able to have some sort of virtual reality SL where u wear the headgear and actually step in when u log on. That wud be so cool.
Spanki Moulliez: But, as a happy member of the gay community, on a personal level I just hope that that whole community continues to grow and bond and SL is really a great place to be yourself and feel safe doing that.
GK(SLiWT): A nice positive answer! So, talking positive... in the last month, what was the most positive thing that happened to you or that you experienced?
Spanki Moulliez: Not one particular thing. Being complimented on my hosting was good. Being encouraged with a new project was good. Friends being around to hug me when i was upset was very good! Finding out people you didn't realise cared about you, care about you :-) - All good!!! SL is full of those kind of moments.
GK(SLiWT): As a DJ, I express a lot of my emotion through my music. So... following that theory, what is your favourite song at the moment, and why?
Spanki Moulliez: Oh wow, thats hard! I love music. A song I like is 'Heartbeat' by Madonna, cuz I think it expresses well how it feels to just get away from everything and get lost in music and your friends and dance and forget your troubles on the dance floor. Those lyrics feel very relevant to why I love to dance and hang out the way I do.
GK(SLiWT): and overall, what song would you say is your all time favourite?
Spanki Moulliez: I am a MASSIVE Coldplay fan. So i wud have to pick one of their songs, if i was forced (which is really difficult). I suppose, by them, Careful Where You Stand, becuz the lyrics are about feeling accepted and mutual love for someone. But i dont spose many people kno that song cuz its actually a B side.
GK(SLiWT): and one last music related one... What song sums up your current mood and why
Spanki Moulliez: At this moment im listening to 'Evergreen' by Faithless. Cuz ive been talking relationships with a friend hehe. Nuff said!
GK(SLiWT): And my final question...
GK(SLiWT): Do you have any words you would like to say to the SL Public?
Spanki Moulliez: Be nice to each other!
Spanki Moulliez: Leave the drama in RL
Spanki Moulliez: Lets just enjoy our diversity and our opportunity for limitless creation and friendships we otherwise might never make.
Spanki Moulliez: And, FIGHT THE LAG!
GK(SLiWT): TY Spanki - I hope it was as fun answering as it was for me asking
Spanki Moulliez: Did you just take my interviewee virginity? We shud hug or something
GK(SLiWT): TP me?
Spanki Moulliez: LoL - I'm sitting on a bridge! You will fall in the sea hehe

Mr Moulliez was last seen from below (by a very wet Gregster Kidd) sitting on a bridge, swinging his feet in the air, in time to Madonna's Hanky Panky. Spanki seems to know what it means to have fun and enjoy his SLife - I'm in total agreement with Madge, there is nothing like a good Spanki!

* If Baden-Powell taught me anything, it is "Be Prepared"
** Yes I really did say "WOOT" - I blame NAT. The word is meaningless, but since NAT and I discussed its meaninglessness I started using it ironically, then found myself typing it despite myself
*** I hoped people liked me as a DJ for the structure of my sets, the mixes, the range of music available and the on air attitude/personality but if I go down in history as "that hot DJ who got us dancing naked" - well can't complain, I guess I have has a positive impact on someone's life, and that - tbh - is what matters. But anyway... this interview is meant to be about Spanki, not me - and his thoughts and reasonings
**** That would take a completely different type of interview to answer
