Midnight at the Oasis

http://Midnight at the Oasis

I’ve been so happily busy — obsessed even — with spending every spare second  that I’m not putting together fashion looks over at the Fantasy Faire.  Between shopping and exploring and doing on-site photo shoots, time has been FLYING by.  And then suddenly I realized that it’s already May and that the Faire will close in just a few days on May 7th and I’m panicked that I never spent any time with all the wonderfully awesome non-fashion goodies.  So I immediately unpacked all of my outdoor favorites and started seeing what would work together to create a dino-mite scene (sorry, sorry, sorry, I haven’t had my coffee yet!) that would fit in a photo frame.  For some reason, the song ‘Midnight at the Oasis’ started playing in my head (maybe it was on Fantasy Faire radio at the time? I honestly don’t know), but I can’t get it out of mind, and it was that or something about a meeting getting off to a rough start, so that’s the title I’m going with lol.  And now, back to our regularly scheduled program!

  • Dinosaurs:  Prehistorica – The Dawn Kingdoms – Amazing, amazing, totally AMAZING!!! I admit I went a bit dino crazy, but these are just so incredibly realistic (well, it SEEMS realistic, having never really seen a dinosaur I guess it’s all conjecture, now isn’t it?) that I just couldn’t help myself.  If you want to ride — or be — a dinosaur, this is definitely the place to go because they not only have all these to buy they’ve created a prehistoric land where you can RIDE since it admittedly takes quite a bit of space when you’re on one of the big ones.  All of what I used to make this scene & more are available at Fantasy Faire in the Faireland of Khumbala; you can TP direct to Prehistorica’s booth HERE:
    • Allosaurus Animesh Creature (far right with me on top!) – just one of a line of creature “pets” that are rideable or free-roaming.  The controls are really easy to manage, & he roars on command.  Such fun, I can’t stop grinning!!!  See the ad below for more details.
    • Utahraptor Rideable Pet (front left of pool) – one thing that I LOVE about this guy is that you can ATTACH him to ride if you’re in a no-rez area… AND he has a color customization HUD.  Did I mention how much fun it is to ride a dinosaur?  Just one of a range of rideable pets. See the ad below for more details.
    • Utahraptor Decor (upper left of pool) – perfect for helping to create scenes like these, they also include a color customization HUD; sound options are also part of the menu options.  See the ad below! 
    • Drogon, Valyrian Adult (back of pool) – if you watched House of the Dragon, then you’re familiar with Drogon.  I kind of cheated with this one… he’s part of two special EXCLUSIVE diorama sets (The Blazing Throne & The Winter Throne that are each a 100% DONATION to RELAY for LIFE.  I’ve included the ad below for them, & you can see him in all his animesh glory the minute you walk into the store (& he really is a don’t miss sight!)

Bay; you can TP direct to Dabble’s booth HERE.  
  • Trees:  Dreamland Designs – Magical Tree Scene.  Totally beautiful scene that is perfect for both fantasy & what I’ll call “more realistic” landscapes.  Includes the “magical tree,” flowers, magical sparkling lights & wisps (see the ad below).   NEW, EXCLUSIVELY AVAILABLE & a 100% DONATION to Relay for Life at Fantasy Faire, located in the Faireland of Giggenwhirl; you can TP direct to Dreamland Designs booth HERE.
