The Dark Awakening

Posted on by cejalaval

http://The Dark Awakening

Sighs wearily… this fae is not feeling so bright-eyed this morning… the portals were beckoning, and I stayed up WAYYYY too late last night exploring Fantasy Faire 2021.  I think (and I’m stressing the word “think”) that I’ve now at least touched down in every one of the 21 regions, but I’m really not sure since I kept getting distracted by all the sights and sounds (dancing up on a skyship in The Dark Awakening!), and yes, all the magnificent wonders in the more than 200 shops.  Fantasy Faire really is a feast for the eyes, though I personally find it a bit humbling when surrounded by such amazing creativity.  So many times I’ve crossed through a portal to say “oooh, I think this is my favorite realm” to just say the exact same thing when crossing over into another.  So much to see, so much to do, so much to buy, and so much good to contribute! As of the end of the 4th Faire Day, Fantasy Faire 2021 has already relayed L$6,246,147… that’s $24,984 USD to fight cancer! Whether you are fantasy folk or not, come explore the lands and see what it’s all about.  There’s a list of all the realms HERE; or there are handy slurls below to tp directly into six of them below.  If you feel wings brush by you as a fae rushes by laden with shopping bags, accept my apologies now and take a moment to say hello.  Remember, the portals close for the final time on May 9th… after that you have to wait a whole year!

  • Dress:  Dreaming Thicket – Asclepia Gown.  This gorgeous gown, inspired by various butterfly species, is a new release for Fantasy Faire 2021. It comes in 6 colors/textures; the two purple variations (one of which I’m wearing here) are 100% Relay for Life donations going to cancer research.  Unlike many fantasy gowns, this is sized for a whole slew of bodies — Slink HG/P, Maitreya, Tonic, Belleza F/I/V, Ocacin, Legacy, Voluptuous, & Classic.  Available only at the Faire store in The Amethyst Rift, located HERE.
  • Skin:  Petrichor – Kalari Vors.  Highly detailed, gorgeous marked skin in Bom/Omega versions for Hourglass, Legacy, Maitreya, Belleza F/I/V.  Comes with lots of add ons, including ears, mesh glowing nails, body glow, makeups, & my personal favorite, the ability to wear the skin flat or “raised” for an exceptional texture as you can see in the closeup below!  Both male & female versions are 100% Relay for Life donations in this color only (there are 25 colors altogether), at the Faire store in The Cerulean Bombora, located HERE.
  • Horns & Jewelry:  Petrichor – Farys Horns Full Set. NEW RELEASE for Fantasy Faire! Includes these stunning horns with optional forehead deco, 3 types of earrings (to be worn together or separately), & necklaces. 100% custom mesh & textures, with everything HUD controlled. I couldn’t even count how many texture options there are! Available only at the Faire store in The Cerulean Bombora, located HERE.
  • Hair:  KMH – Hair F162.  Beautiful twisty updo, available both as an RFL donation item (purple only) & as a full color fatpack, with optional bangs included.  See the closeup below for a closer look at this stunning hairstyle, available only at the Faire store in J’adoube, located HERE.
  • Wings:  –FAS– – Bento Faery Wings.  Includes a texture HUD with 23 fabulous variations plus an AO that makes the wings move in just glorious ways.  My new favorite wings!!!  At the Faire store in The Wandering Woods, located HERE.
  • Eyes:  not a peep – Hoard Eyes. They say their eyes glittered like gemstones. They say their bodies were as sturdy as diamond. The truth of the hoard is, of course, only known to the dragon. But now you can have their eyes.  Fatpack of 20 colors, in Omega & system/BOM versions.  See the closeup below.  The full fatpack is a 100% Donation Item at the Faire store in Somniatoris Arx, located HERE.

A Silent Prayer for RFL

Posted on by cejalaval

http://A Silent Prayer for RFL

It’s hard to believe that Fantasy Faire 2020 has come to its last day. I have reveled in my rebirth as a fae, and have vowed to continue living and exploring this Second Life of fantasy, even as these magical lands dissipate on the winds of time.  But I also want to take a moment of remembrance and to say a prayer for all those fighting the fight against cancer with which Fantasy Faire is aligned, for those who have fought and lost, those who have fought and won, those who are fighting this very moment, and for those who have not yet begun their fight.  There is after all a deeper meaning in all we do here, that a world without cancer does not have to be just a fantasy.  Hopefully what we have done here will help us towards our common goal of turning that fantasy into a reality, for all of us, for those we love, for everyone everywhere around the world.  There’s still one more day… one more day to explore, to join the final day of events, to shop with a cause, to live that life of fantasy, to support Relay for Life.  Won’t you join us?

A Walk in the Shadows of Fantasy

Posted on by cejalaval

http://A Walk in the Shadows of Fantasy

I am beyond thrilled to have had the chance to not just explore and enjoy Fantasy Faire 2020 but to be an official blogger as well.  It’s allowed me to explore much more of the world of fantasy than I probably would have otherwise, to delve a bit deeper, go a bit further.  I love the beauty, the magic, the enchantment… let’s face it, I play as a winged fae (though now that I’ve put on a mermaid tail, I definitely see more of that in my future as well!).  But let’s not forget that even though that there’s where MY heart and imagination takes me, the fantasy world also has its much darker side, one of demons and evil and pain.  I’ll leave most of that to other bloggers with different tastes and bents than my own.  However, that doesn’t mean that I can’t dip my toe in and dabble in the lighter side of grey, avoiding the deep dark shadows but maybe stepping out of the sun into the shady spots… After all, that’s what exploration and fantasy is all about…

  • Outfit:  Secrets of Gaia (SoG) – Goddess Hedone Complete Set.  Hedone was the personification & goddess of pleasure (more specifically sensual pleasure), enjoyment, & delight in Ancient Greece.  The daughter born of the Greek Gods Eros & Psyche; her opposites were the Algos, personifications of pain.  This complete outfit includes the dress, bustle, overskirt, open chain boots, red hair, high neck necklace, draped flogger, crop, bento pointy nails for Slink, & a blindfold (not shown).  A light walk in the shadows…  Sized for Slink HG/P, Tonic, Belleza F/I/V, eBody, & Maitreya.  An RFL donation at the Faire store in Elemaria.  Demo available.  Individual pieces also sold separately as RFL donations.
  • Wings:  AMBIX – Starlight Wings (Bento).  Customizable in both look & action. First there’s a 16 color HUD that lets you set separate colors for each tier of wing, the stars, & even the ribbons. Then you get to choose HOW you want the wings to animate… such fun! An RFL donation at the Faire store in Melusina’s Depths.
  • Skin:  Stix – A beautiful fantasy skin with lots of eye & face “decor” without going overboard, available in 8 colors (I’m wearing the white).  See the closeup below for detail. In Omega & standard body skin. Only 100L per color or 600L for the entire fatpack so you can easily indulge your love of fantasy skins while supporting the fight against cancer because yes, these are all RFL items at the Faire store in Auxentios’ Pass.  Demos available.
  • Horns:  Eclectica – Crystal Satyr Horns Fatpack.  Stunning original mesh that are loosely based on merino horns, which can be adjusted easily as separate pieces based on your hair or hairpiece or if you just prefer them sticking out more, less, or at a different angle.  9 textures available by touch, all of which can be tinted if you wish.  Metal versions also available, which I blogged previously HERE. Both are RFL items at the Faire store in Cassiopeia.
  • Pose:  XPOSEure – Fantasia Fatpack.  Includes 5 poses plus mirrors.  Male versions — Fantasio — also available.  Both are RFL items at the Faire store in Heliodor.
  • Head:  GENUS Project – Strong Face (free version)
  • Body:  Slink – Hourglass Mesh Body Original, Full Version including Hands (Dynamic) & Feet

Feeling Blue in Melusina’s Depths

Posted on by cejalaval

http://Feeling Blue in Melusina's Depths

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. They should fit most mesh heads. An RFL donation at the Faire store in Heliodor.  Also worn:  Amis – Teresa’s Lipstick for Genus. FREE as part of  the free Stay at Home Club .
  • Skin:  7 Deadly s[K]ins – Everlasting worn in Cotton Candy (BOM) with the browless option.  Available in two options of 5 tones each (dark or light tones, including both omega & BOM, regular & browless).  Shape & demos also available.

http://Dance of the Fairies in Lunafae

I continue to explore the varied lands at Fantasy Faire 2020, and in each land I seem to awaken a new facet of myself, a new piece of this developing personality.  I adore these lands, so filled with creativity and energy and the desire to do good, to make a world without cancer not just a fantasy but a reality in the real world as well.  I am pleased and proud to be a small part of that effort, showcasing some items and throwing my own lindens into the effort as well.  Shopping with a cause is something I can definitely throw my wings behind!!!!  Remember, Fantasy Faire is open through May 10th… so much to see, so much to do, with daily events (see the Calendar HERE) , including performances & auctions, a quest, and so much more.  Well, I’m off to the faire! Hope to see you there!!!!!

  • Gown:  LEIGH – Medieval Gown & Shawl.  I saw this stunning sleeveless gown with a matching shawl up on a sign & I just knew it had to be mine! This lovely medieval gown fit for a lady has a gold thread embroidered skirt & bodice, elaborate gold-edged brocade panel, & optional gold jeweled brooch at the waist. There are 15 stunning colors for the panel, giving you plenty of options to match to a family color, special occasion, or choice to wear for weeks on end! The separate matching shawl is a perfect accessory to complete your elegant look. The HUD gives you the ability to make the skirt, panel, bodice & shawl sheer, glow, or disappear independently. Materials enabled.  Sized for Slink HG/P, Tonic, Belleza F/I/V, Ocacin, Fitmesh, & Maitreya.  RFL item at the Faire store in Cassiopeia.
  • Headpiece:  LEIGH – Rose Leaf Circlet.  Beautiful roses & ivy leaves entwine in a wreath circlet perfect for any lady or fae.  Also with the option to hide the roses. You can see the beautiful detail in the closeup below. There are 10 preset rose colors that coordinate with the Medieval Gown, plus 5 options for leaves & vines, including metal & natural materials. With the color picker it is possible to infinitely change each part of the circlet for full customization! Includes a full bright & glow HUD as well as resize tools.  RFL item at the Faire store in Cassiopeia.

  • Horns:  Eclectica – Metal Satyr Horns Fatpack.  Stunning original mesh that are loosely based on merino horns, which can be adjusted easily as separate pieces based on your hair or hairpiece or if you just prefer them sticking out more, less, or at a different angle.  And the texture is just so stunning, which you can see in the closeup below!!! 9 textures available by touch (I’m wearing Copper), all of which can be tinted if you wish.  Crystal versions also available, which are equally stunning, just different. Both are RFL items at the Faire store in Cassiopeia.
  • Pose:  Astalianda – Zodiac Air Signs Pose Set, Gemini.  Set includes 3 poses plus their mirrors.  Three other sets also available (Earth Signs, Water Signs, & Fire Signs), all of which are created specifically for, & available EXCLUSIVELY at the Faire store in Zodiac.
  • Hair:  EscalateD – Anwyn.  One of many fantasy hairstyles available; I chose Anwyn because it felt somewhat medieval & showed off both the skin & the horns.  Comes with Duo & Streaks versions that let you mix two colors if you choose; choose from a Natural Essentials Universal HUD or an Unnatural one. 50% OFF at the Faire store in Mistakes Were Made!

Defender of the Realm

Posted on by cejalaval

http://Defender of the Realm

It’s that part of our strange mix of day/night when I’ve taken it upon myself to stand lookout over my adopted land of Cassiopeia.  Although it’s not an assigned posting (there are no such things here, much to my dismay), I see it as my responsibility to defend and protect this realm that took me in, this world that is beyond time, without haste or deadlines, without illness and death.  I stand watch, ready to protect it from outside threats that no one else seems to perceive… a self-elected defender guarding the portals against those who would use time for their own nefarious schemes and destroy this land of joy and loving remembrance and memory in the process.  Here, in this wondrous world of mystery, I have found myself again and discovered a new purpose, a deeper meaning to this strange mix of influences that is me.  And I will not let those who are the prisoners of time destroy this precious and strange world that I now call home.  Not on my watch.

  • Outfit:  God Mod – Elemis.  Separate skirt & top with little wings, sized for Slink HG/P, Belleza F/I/V, & Maitreya. I love the contrast of the leather straps on the top with the feminine pattern on the gentle swirl & train of the skirt.  RFL item at the Faire store in Elemaria. 
  • Skin:  Soul – Jalyn, Ranitormeya V2 Skin. This is the FF20 tone, which is the donation skin, but there are lots of other tones in this set that are also available at the Faire.  Matching male skins (Jayson) are also available.  Includes head appliers for Genus, Lelutka, & Omega & body appliers for Slink, Belleza, Maitreya, Legacy, & Omega as well as BOM  versions.  I went with the Omega versions; you can see a closeup below. Both the male & female skins in this tone are RFL donation items at the Faire store in Zodiac.
  • Hair:  Firelight – Wanita Fatpack, Fantasy Gradient Edition.  Rigged mesh hair that includes a color tinting wheel & a texture HUD in Fantasy Fae (18 pink/purple shades) & Fantasy Mer (21 blue/green shades) , all of which can be worn with either wispy or rich/full effects.  You can see the detail in the closeup below.  This hair is an RFL donation at the Faire store in Heliodor.
  • Horns:  Petrichor (formerly The Plastik) – Lavai Horns.  Decorative metallic-looking mesh horns in a purple/pink combo, with dangling accents. Unscripted, unisex, stunning & totally unique! See the closeup below.  RFL donation at the Faire store in Sirens Lore.

Dreaming of Love in the Queensgarden

Posted on by cejalaval

http://Dreaming of Love in the Queensgarden

I am Thea. No longer the name given to me at birth, Chrysanthea. That girl I once was is no more. Now, I’m an outcast, adrift far from those I once thought family, friends.  My name has evolved to something simpler. Something less defined, that allows more growth, more exploration, both of self and of the lands around me.  I have been asleep for many years, after wandering aimlessly in a wasteland after most of the elvenfolk sailed off for different worlds.  But one dream refused to die and eventually woke me, the dream of my beloved.  Now I wander the gardens of this glorious new land, bewitched and longing for the day when we will hopefully walk them together.  These gardens that are only part of the wonder at Fantasy Faire 2020, open through May 10th.

Queensgarden, sponsored by The NeoVictoria Project, is just one of 18 regions at Fantasy Faire.  Although there are 13 shopping regions, this isn’t one of them.  This is one of the 5 Faireland realms that take us beyond commerce; it’s where the Fairelands Quest is based (information on the Quest, the Bard Queen’s Garden, is HERE).  But whether or not you join the quest, I have to say that for a wandering fae or anyone who appreciates beauty, it’s an area that just beckons exploration.  Of course, Fantasy Faire is a Relay for Life event, so in addition to exploring, please be sure to do some shopping with a purpose as well.

  • Outfit:  Sweet Intoxication – Peacock Outfit in Gold. Includes the Azhagumayil gown plus the peacock headpiece, which has a beautiful sunburst ornamentation on the forehead (see below for a closeup).  Beautifully styled, with a shape-showing fit that “puddles” at the bottom… perfect for fantasy & as a “normal” fashion gown. Sized for Slink HG/P, Belleza F/I/V, Legacy, & Maitreya.  Also available in Red, Purple, Pink, Green, & Blue.  All colors are 100% DONATIONS to RFL at their booth at Fantasy Faire 2020.
  • Pose:  Astalianda – Zodiac Earth Signs Pose Set, Virgo.  Set includes 3 poses plus their mirrors.  Three other sets also available (Air Signs, Water Signs, & Fire Signs), all of which are created specifically for, & available EXCLUSIVELY at their booth at, Fantasy Faire 2020.  
  • Skin:  7 Deadly s[K]ins – Everlasting worn in Marshmellow with the browless option.  Another beauty of an Omega skin with a fresh ethereal look.  See below for a closeup.  Available in two options of 5 tones each (dark or light tones, including both omega & BOM, regular & browless).  Shape & demos also available.
  • Head:  GENUS Project – Strong Face (free version)
  • Body:  Slink – Hourglass Mesh Body Original, Full Version including Hands (Dynamic) & Feet
  • Horns:  The Plastik – Trinket Horns
  • Brows:  Simple Bloom – Genus Lara/Dawn Glitter/Stars (GIFT)
  • Eyes:  {Demicorn} Cosmetics – Starlet Eyes (Genus Appliers)
  • Hair:  Lamb – Heart
  • Wings:  Seven’s Selections (now Vaengi Wings) – Filigree Wings, Gold/Crystal/Yellow
  • Lipstick:  Amis – Teresa’s Lipstick for Genus. FREE as part of  the free Stay at Home Club .

Secret Fantasy Hideaway

http://Secret Fantasy Hideaway

And the Fairelands are open! That’s right, Fantasy Faire 2020 has begun, open from April 23rd – May 10th! As an official blogger (!!!!) I had a day’s early access, and I spent hours just wandering and exploring.  It’s absolutely amazing, the amount and the quality of the creativity that has been poured lovingly into the 18 regions (13 shopping regions plus 5 Faireland realms that take us beyond commerce, from a Memorial Garden to the Fairelands Quest, the Literary Festival, Performance Stages, from Art Galleries to the Worldling Collection).  And yes, it’s all to celebrate the world of fantasy, but there’s a very serious purpose behind this gathering, and that’s Building A World Without Cancer.  These very talented designers have all created & donated items whose purchase will go towards the fight against cancer. It truly is shopping with a purpose!

So whether you’re a confirmed fantasy enthusiast, into role-playing, or just enjoy exploring and seeing the depth and breadth of imagination that exists in this virtual world we share, come visit Fantasy Faire 2020.  The Faire has reawakened the slumbering fae within me, and I have been very busy bringing her up-to-date and creating a new look (she’s been asleep for years, before the dawn of mesh); you’ll be seeing and hearing from her in the days and weeks to come, and she i considering joining my blog as an ongoing contributor. Perhaps the Fantasy Faire will ignite a spark within you too… there’s so much to see and do! I’ll be featuring just a few select items on my pages. Here are some VERY useful links for visiting the region (or you just can TP in and wander!):

It’s on display at the booth, so you can see for yourself how absolutely stunning this creation is!

The perfect finishing touch to your hideaway, the tree (which you can see both to the right & to the left of the hideaway itself) includes has 3 lanterns of its own plus the most adorable grazing bunny.  And because it’s a separate item, you can easily position it anywhere you want, to create your scene.  This item is a 100% DONATION TO RFL!!!! 

 

Mother of Dragons

Posted on by cejalaval

No, this is not Game of Thrones and I’m no Daenerys of the House Targaryen.  But I do absolutely love the unique, animated fire-breathing dragons that Tylar from Tylar’s Treasures creates and places in creative fantasy builds.  I’ve posted video of them before (in fact, it’s how I learned to even do videos for blogging), and I could not resist doing one for this amazing creation of hers.  The video is up on FlickR; I couldn’t figure out how to put it here.  This fabulous build is featured at the awesome Fantasy Faire, opening later today April 23rd at noon SLT.  Fantasy Faire is an RFL (Relay for Life) Event, which anyone who follows me knows that I’m a huge supporter of, although this is my very first year as an official blogger at the Faire.  Celebrating its 12th year, Fantasy Faire 2020 is the largest gathering of fantasy designers, enthusiasts, role-players and performers in the virtual world.  From its opening today through May 10th, treat yourself to shopping, dance and theater performances, DJ parties, auctions, questing, our Literary Festival, fantasy art, events and role-playing as thousands of Second Life residents and creators bring their own visions together to support the American Cancer Society’s vision of a world without cancer.  That really should be more than just a fantasy, don’t you think?

In addition to the thirteen shopping regions there will also be five Faireland realms that take us beyond commerce, from a Memorial Garden to the Fairelands Quest, the Literary Festival, Performance Stages, from Art Galleries to the Worldling Collection. These bring the Fairelands count for 2020 to eighteen regions, just waiting for you to explore them.  The SLurl to the event will be found on the website once the event opens; I’ll update with the SLurl direct to Tylar’s booth in the description below once the fair opens, since the lands are kept secret till then. And here’s a link to the shopping guide where links to ALL the shops will be available: https://fantasyfairesl.wordpress.com/shopping-2020/

 Tylar’s Treasures – Dragon’s Cave, with two animated dragons who flap their wings & breathe fire.   An awesome addition or highlight to a fantasy build. Who needs Game of Thrones when you’ve got this? Available starting today at the Fantasy Faire, through May 10th (direct to TT’s booth, once the fair opens at noon SLT).
