There are so many things I love about the Fantasy Faire, but to me the absolute best is the opportunity to explore all different aspects of what fantasy means. For me, it generally means fae. Which is why I thought the Faire was the perfect opportunity to slip into a tail and see what being a mermaid is all about. That happens to be a lot harder than you might think when you don’t have a Maitreya body (seems that most mermaids are Maitreya) or you don’t already have a tail. But after seeing mermaids zip through the waters at Melusina’s Depths (an absolutely amazing underwater realm at Fantasy Faire, with hidden grottoes and caves in addition to great shopping) and having fallen hard for the scale tattoos I’m now wearing), this fae was totally committed to seeing how the other half (well, maybe not half) lived… As you can see, I succeeded, and I will be flicking my tail quite happily beneath the waves going forward on a somewhat regular basis, because it is just SO MUCH FUN!!!!! Several items below are Relay for Life donations, so please, do a brand-new mermaid a favor and check it out… fighting against cancer is no fantasy! Remember, Fantasy Faire is open only till May 10th!!!
- Scales: Nefekalum Tattoos – Ghost Blue. These are THE MOST amazing scales because they use materials (which of course means you must have a head/body that supports materials & have Advanced Lighting Mode enabled in order to use them to their full potential). I have to admit that these are the primary reason why I built my first mermaid avatar… I just had to have these scales!!!! These unisex tattoos are also available in Gold & in Violet, all are RFL donations at the Faire store in Lamented Fens.
- Hair: Firelight – Wilma Fatpack, Fantasy Gradient Edition. Fantasy Gradient is a beautiful new set of pastel colors that gradually change along the length of the hair, giving a stunning effect. Each style comes in two colorsets: Fae (primarily pink & purples) & Mer (primarily blues and greens). A color tinting wheel is also included. This hair is an RFL donation at the Faire store in Heliodor.
- Makeup: [ae] Adam & Eve – Fantasy Eyeshadow. A make up set of 8 colors with sparkly, glittery spring flowers around the eye (see below for details). Included are BOM tattoos & a Lelutka HD HUD.
