OK, I’ll admit it… I’ve been going a bit crazy at the 2024 Fantasy Faire, which just opened on April 18th and will now run through May 5th. But like many other fantasy characters in SL, I look forward to this incredibly special event all year long. There is just nothing else in Second Life quite like it… And I am so absolutely thrilled to be an official blogger that I’ve been busy shopping the Faire since the moment it opened (truth be told, a day before with early access lol). Why am I and so many others so enraptured by Fantasy Faire? It’s a few things, and the reasons do, of course, vary person to person. For me, it’s really three things. First and foremost, it’s the sheer creative genius on display throughout the 20 completely unique and distinctive regions. It constantly boggles my fae brain how so many designers can not only envision these realms but can make them come to life, especially if you get “off the trail” and explore some of the hidden nooks… they are truly world builders! Second, well, it’s the shopping. I’m a shop-a-holic, which I guess is why I’m a blogger… I just love to not just put on a new outfit but create a whole character with it… or a scene… or both! And with over 300 of SL’s top fantasy designers showing at FF24, well, let’s just say that I saved up my lindens in order to stock up on all sorts of goodies. And third, which really is the most important and impactful reason to support Fantasy Faire is that it’s one of the premier events in Second Life benefiting the American Cancer Society. At the end of the 3rd day, this year’s FF has already relayed a whopping $L$6,661,584 … now that’s shopping with a purpose!!!! Come join us, and you too can be a Fairelander!
