Ever seen pictures of Darren's ex-wfe?; Feel free to deleted if inappropriate

I hope this post isn’t inappropriate considering it is about Darren's personal life and, we all know, that’s frowned upon by most of the major Darren/SG fan boards but since this board seems to be less restrictive than the rest (in other other words, you guys aren’t as anal as a lot of people over at the fanclub), I decided to go ahead and start this thread. However, if it is deem inappropriate, just how ahead and lock it. I won’t be offended, and I’ll completely understand.

Well, as a writer who’s incredibly anal about writing imagery properly, I like to show rather than tell, I always try to get the description of whoever the subject is I’m writing about as accurate as possible. So, when I found myself writing this story of mine in which Darren’s ex-wife makes an appearance (and worry not, I’m not writing evil!Colby or demonizing her like a lot of writers do) and having not idea what she looked like. I remembered having seen a magazine scan which showed a picture of, according to the magazine, Darren and Colby attending the event but apparently the picture was mislabeled and that, in fact, wasn’t her.

So, I found myself chatting with a dear friend of mine, who’s been in the Savage Garden fandom since the very beginning pretty much. We met through a different fandom, strangely enough, so it’s not until now that I’ve started getting into the Darren Hayes/SG fandom (a little too late, I might add) that we’ve started having Darren related conversations. During one of the insane conservations we had, I mentioned how weird that fact that there’s not pictures of Darren’s ex-wife online is and well, apparently there are some… or at least one. She’s been in the fandom forever and I’ve got no reason to not trust her since she’s never lied before, so I take her word for it. Anyway, not only did I finally got my question answered but also learned some other interesting tidbits about the fandom and perhaps even some goss? Watch for yourself:

(I highlighted the bits about Colby, though the rest is kinda interesting, too. Well, I least I found it interesting and a bit amusing. Also, I am oh xeeo z and I left out my friend's sn for obvious reasons)

: there
: ugh you can barely see her but that’s her
: but at least you’ll get an idea? lol
: but yeah
: the woman that inspired ‘truly, madly, deeply’
oh xeeo z: hmmm
oh xeeo z: are you sure?
oh xeeo z: because i remember seeing
oh xeeo z: a picture of her in some magazine
oh xeeo z: and it was a completely different woman
oh xeeo z: let me see if I can find it
: the probably got it wrong
: because thats definitely her
: the one in the picture i just gave you
oh xeeo z: http://darrenhayesinteractive.com/gallerie...494&mode=search
: yeah
: definitely not colby
: there used to be more picture of her with darren online!
: i cant find any on the website besides that one before though
: she had short red hair at one point i think
: but yeah
: a friend of mine saw her way back in the day at a chicago gig
: as did many others over at adm
: way back in the day
oh xeeo z: adm?
: adeepermeaning
: it was a slash group
: very active back in the day
: one of the first one, if not the first
oh xeeo z: oh…
: I remember loving that about adarren
: *darren
: it gave me hope
: i mean
: that he married and was so in love with a woman that wasnt a supermodel
: that a hot guy like him would be into someone with a lil meat on their bones lol
: gave me hope that one day ill snatch a hottie too
: of course he turned out to be gay
oh xeeo z: aww hahaha
oh xeeo z: judging by the manner in which he’s spoken about her
oh xeeo z: and about their marriage
oh xeeo z: it seems to me that he really did fall in love with her
: oh yeah
: i totally believed he loved her
: even taking into account that he doesnt swing that way
: he fell in love with her you know
: as a person
: as a soul
: if that makes sense
oh xeeo z: yes it does
oh xeeo z: and i agree
: but really
: it gave me a little hope
: that maybe one day
: id find a hot man tahts not shallow like him
: hopefully thats actually likes girls though lol
oh xeeo z: aww yes
oh xeeo z: hahaha

: you know its funny because thinking back
: all the rumors posted over at adm
: turned out to be true
: well not all
: but most
: we got the best kind of confirmation if i think about it
: confirmation from the man himself lol
oh xeeo z: hahaha
oh xeeo z: win!
: seriously
: we used to get so much crap from the teenyboppers
: back in the day for writing slash
: and thiking darren was gay
: and the fanclub being so anal about discussing anything
oh xeeo z: still is hahaha
: yeah
: but really
: rumor back then was that he separated from colby
: because he was gay
: and yeah
: turned out to be true
: most teenies chose to believe that mean colby had broken his heart
: cheated on him
: even though darren kept saying no one cheated
: and wrote even 'i dont know you anymore'
: but obviously they knew better
: that he would marry them and thed heal his heart
oh xeeo z: of course hahaha
oh xeeo z: gotta love the fangirls
: yeah really
: lol like also
: rumor was that he moved to ny
: because he had fallen in love with an american boy
: that later insprired ‘chained to you’ and ‘the best thing’
: and I remember the teenies insisting that it was clearly about a woman
: and that we slash writers were disrespectful
: of course that one turned out to be true too
oh xeeo z: bwahahaha
: but yeah
: we took them with a grain of salt
: most of the rumors
: amazing how they mostly turned out to be true
oh xeeo z: i regreat joining the fandom so late
oh xeeo z: *regret
: lol
: aw!
: I remember being many reports of roadies telling people that darren wsnt into girls
: and the teenyboppers reacting violently
: and saying the roadies were just saying that because they were jealous of Darren
: oh ogd
: the good old days
: wonder how they reacted when they heard about darrens wedding
oh xeeo z: god icannot even imagine
oh xeeo z: angst galore?
oh xeeo z: i’m sure
oh xeeo z: hahaha
: lol there was also this time
: a rumor over at adm that darren was dating a brazilian boy
: and that was really into him
: and thats why he developed an obsession with brazil
: a while after the rumor was posted
: darren gave an interview where he said he was in love
: with a brazilian
: of course didnt specify what gender
: teenyboppers were speculating away
: about him dating a brazilian supermodel lol
: female of course
: but when someone brought u that since he didnt mention a gender
: maybe it was a man he was talking about
: they flipped out
: and accused of gossiping and being disrespectful
: even though they were doing the same
: you know gossiping
oh xeeo z: the double standard
oh xeeo z: dude judging by what i've heard
oh xeeo z: and what you’re telling me
oh xeeo z: no wonder darren took so long to come out
oh xeeo z: the fangirls were insane
: god seriously
: i was actually surprisd about how positive
: most on the fanclub were when he came out
: then again they wouldnt dare say anything negative on the fanclub
: now i want to go back and read through the messages on adm
: the memories!
: i miss those days

The conversation then turned to Project Runway! Weird conversation, I know, but interesting nonetheless, don't you think? At least for me that came too late to the fandom.

And, yeah, that's the woman Darren fell in love with. I, too, find it endearing that he fell in love with a regular woman but then, it didn't come as a surprise, he has shown time and time again he's not a shallow person. :hearts:

Well, my first thread here and, again, if the mods feel the thread is inappropriate, feel free to deleted it.

Oh darn, the link won't work for me. Could you maybe upload it to photobucket? (Does encouraging this make me a bad moderator? :lol: )

Let's just make sure it doesn't go to far is all.

Sure thing! I'm pretty sure you've seen the picture before, it's just that it is quite cute and you just focus on Darren than you don't see anything besides him and the baby. Here: http://img299.imageshack.us/img299/875/darrcolbyfq9.jpg

Yeah, I understand how someone might feel this thread is disrespectful. You know, having had read some fan fiction it amazes me how many people portray her as a, well, bitch. Obviously, it's fan nature to portray their favorite's celebrities romantic partners in a bad light to make it possible for their celebrity to end up with their character or whatever character they pair them off with, but in Colby's case, Darren's always spoken of her in such a positive light, with so much admiration and love, it's hard to see how anyone could get that he has any sort of resentment toward her. If anything, in fact, it always appeared that he felt guilt for hurting her the entire time ("I Don't Know You Anymore", anyone?) and, well, he's confirmed that in recent interviews. It's quite bizarre. Fangirls will be fangirls, I guess.

:lol: The universe doesn't want me to see this picture :lol: No worries though :P

I know what you mean about the Fan-fiction versions of Colby...I read a few a long while back where the writers were just terrible to her...I'd say one in about 4, treat Colby nicely though. I would. I think. LoL.

You're going to be so disappointed once you get to see the picture since you can't even see it that clearly! :P Apparently all the clearer pictures disappeared from the net. But let me try once more:

Woo! Finally :lol: Thanks! Hmm, I always thought she had red hair :lol: or I guess that was just what fan fictions always portrayed. Hehe, I know that picture so well too, or, I thought I did, and I never even really noticed her in the back ground! :P

Hehe I've had similar conversations myself. I didn't even believe my friend at first when they told me that's her. I thought that was a man at first! :unsure:

Honestly, I always had my suspicions that Darren was gay but seeing that he married a very butch woman was really the thing that proved it to me. I hope that doesn't sound bitchy. She IS awfully butch though!

I think there's a resemblance between tracey and his brother. Also in a way I think they both look like Darren around the eyes or something.

Was colby older than Darren does anyone know? She looks quite a bit older.

I always thought she'd be blonde, Coby. She seems alright in the pictures, is nice to have a name to a face now.

I don't understand why some fictions portray Coby as evil woman. LoL. I would'nt write one with her in as well i've litrally no idea about her and just came into Darren's music career in 1999/2000. The days really before that i wouldn't write in, as i just dont know it.

Thanks for starting this topic, i dont think its being disrespectful to Darren. Yeah sure he's happily married to Richard now but i dont think asking about who Coby was doesn't hurt. ;)

Blessed be, Geo Toni x~X~x
