The Portal

http://The Portal

I don’t think I will ever get used to the joy of being a fae here in SL…  PBR has thrown me quite a few loops, but the difference in colors and detail has me flying around OOHing and AAHing at the colors and the richness of detail, while admittedly sometimes groaning at the lighting, but as more and more free (or almost free) windlights become available, things have vastly improved!  Sadly though, tomorrow marks the end of this event which I have found myself wandering again and again, finding new treasures every time… Take a look for yourself, and enjoy!

Reflections

Even a fae reflects on things, we’re not just a “flighty” bunch who never think about life (and we make as many bad puns as you humans do!)…  RL has been tough of late, and it’s bled over into my fantasy world, no matter how much fairy dust I’ve sprinkled or how high I’ve flown, it has intruded day after day, even creating a nasty crash or two when the magic failed to keep me aloft (or even in SL for that matter).  That said, discovering the joys and tribulations of PBR (yes, I have a reflection! no, I can’t figure out how to fix the lighting!) has been somewhat distracting, though admittedly sometimes adding to stress levels rather than dissipating them. But as life has continued to prove out my mother’s favorite comment on EVERYTHING that everything that ever went wrong, “this too shall pass”…  and on that note, I’ve checked the mirror, ignored the snarky comments, approved the look, & I am off to explore!!!  Happy shopping!

Oops, practice is definitely NOT making perfect!

http://Oops, practice is definitely NOT making perfect!

What is there to say?  Not everyone can do practical magic right off the bat… if I can really hone my skills then I can move up in rank, but I still have a tendency to get a bit distracted and blow up things nearby before releasing my magic at the intended target.  I feel like I’ve been practicing FOREVER, but obviously, no promotions are in the near future… sighs… again…

  • Outfit:  Jangka Design – Eliyen.  With the incredible attention to the tiniest detail & realistic textures that I have come to expect from EVERY Jangka outfit, Eliyen seems to me to have a touch of the adventuring spirit, which makes her perfect wear for so many fantasy situations.  Available in 6 individual colors or as a fatpack, plus two LIMITED EDITIONS; boots are available in black or brown, as are the shoulder pads (see the ad below).

As one dream ends, another begins…

http://As one dream ends, another begins

Even a fae has dreams of what life could be.  In the last week, my dream was to be a mermaid, but alas it proved too challenging for me at this point to trade in my wings for a tail.  Everything was going wrong, from developing an extreme line at the neck to having issues with poses and so much more that I finally realized it was just not meant to be in the limited time before Fantasy Faire closes its doors again and disappears into the mists.  Everything was going wrong IRL as well, with myself, my son, & my grandson all having accidents that left us each with a broken bone.  As difficult and frustrating as that has been been (especially since I am long distance from both of them), I recognize how lucky I am… these are all non-traumatic injuries that will heal.  It helped me realize that I had lost sight of the far bigger dream that is the essence of Fantasy Faire… the dream of a world without cancer.  Today, May 7th, is the last day of this celebration of fantasy life in SL and its goal for all humankind.  We all want to see THAT fantasy world, a world without cancer.  To that end, join us in the fight, shop with a purpose and Relay for Life!!!

  • Gown:  Kitty Creations – Rosamund.  Absolutely stunning medieval gown, with the most amazing collar & cuffs… very regal without becoming overly done.  Available in 7 single colors, each as a 100% RFL Donation (see the ad below).  You can teleport directly to the store in the Faireland of Miralume HERE.
  • Jewelry:  Cygnet’s Dreams – Gem Set.  Includes two headpieces, tikka, & earrings, with a 12-texture HUD to change the colors.  (See the ad below.) You can teleport directly to the store in the Faireland of Whispering Pages HERE.  Demo available.
  • Wings:  Aii  – Fairy Wings. Absolutely the most gorgeous wings I have ever worn!  They sparkle subtly & move so beautifully & just look so real! Includes both bento & animesh versions in 4 sizes, with a HUD that lets you modify all or parts of the wings.  You can teleport directly to the store in the Faireland of Thunnus Bay HERE.  Demo available.
  • Companion:  Quills & Curiosities – Faelidae Companion.  NEW!! I do love my animal companions (I’ve blogged twice with both of my new “pets”).  Released for FF24, Faelidae has four ears, three tails, & is an arm or shoulder holdable companion.  Includes 3 sizes, 3 position options, & a HUD with 23 fur colors & 10 eye colors with tint & glow options.  (See the ad below.)  Adorably animated, you can see them all around the sim, since the store sponsors the Faireland.  You can teleport directly to the store in the Faireland of The Duskfall Court HERE.
  • Head:  LeLUTKA – Gaia Head
  • Body & Ears:  LEGACY – Mesh Body Special Edition, Feminine

Discovering the hidden world of the Wistlyn Shallows…

http://Discovering the hidden world of the Wistlyn Shallows

Fantasy Faire may be winding down (end date ORIGINALLY May 5th, but now extended to May 7th!!!), but my personal exploring definitely is not! I always start the Faire by (a) visiting any of my favorite stores, then (b) TPing into the center of each realm to “get a taste” of what that land is all about, and then (c) following the “road”, winding through all the lands, peeking into most stores and shopping!!! in others.  By this time, I’ve usually posted one or two blogs based on scenes that grabbed my attention; then I turn to what I’ve been doing of late… exploring some of the maybe-not-hidden but definitely off-the-beaten-track gems that I come across.  That’s how I found this little awesome spot, down below the walkway for this Faireland, which was absolutely perfect (IMHO anyway!) for this character…  Though there is so much animation going on — my wings, my shoulder cat, the tiny creatures from the Shallows, circling decor, lights — it was definitely a challenge to get it all.  Bottom line though… if you haven’t made it to the Faire yet, DON’T DELAY!  Not only will the creativity astound you, but there’s so much dedicated to helping support the fight against cancer.  Join the fun of Fantasy Faire, and join the fight to help create a world without cancer!!!

  • Gown:  UNA – Lady Targaryan, in Wine.  Absolutely stunning & totally unique with a top that looks like hammered gold, Lady Targaryan is sized for Legacy+Perky+Nerido, Reborn+Juicy, & LaraX+PetiteX (see the ad below).  She is available in 6 individual colors, or as a fatpack with extra colors included… & the fatpack is a 100% RFL Donation!  You can teleport directly to the store in the Faireland of The Duskfall Court HERE.  Demo available.
  • Skin:  Petrichor – Wyldeia.  NEW!! A brand new set of fantasy skins available for both male & female in 35 different tones (I’m wearing Ereyal).  Incredible markings, incredible quality, incredible choice of skin tones!  These are all-inclusive skins that come with multiple versions, body add-ons, & more, for EvoX & SLUV.  (See the ad below for more detail.)  You can purchase a single skin, custom packs of 3, 5 or 10 skins, or as a complete fatpack for male or female.  EXCLUSIVELY AVAILABLE at Fantasy Faire; you can teleport directly to the store in the Faireland of Samsara HERE.  Demos available.
  • Horns & Ears:  Petrichor – Karthras Accessories.  NEW!!  Gorgeous horns that curl around special included M/F EvoX ears.  Also includes optional forehead chain & jewelry.  The included HUD in each of 5 texture packs or the Megapack controls everything (see the ad below for more details).  You can teleport directly to the store in the Faireland of Samsara HERE.   Demo available.
  • Wings:  Quills & Curiosities – Sinistrae.  NEW!!  Released for FF24, these dark fae wings have their own AO, are included in 6 different sizes, 2 different color HUDs for a total of 96 different color options. (See the ad below.) You can teleport directly to the store in the Faireland of The Duskfall Court HERE.  Demo available.
  • Cat:  Quills & Curiosities – Faelidae Companion.  NEW!!  Released for FF24, this is definitely a cat like no other!  With four ears, three tails, Faelidae is an arm or shoulder holdable companion.  Includes 3 sizes, 3 position options, & a HUD with 23 fur colors & 10 eye colors with tint & glow options.  (See the ad below.)  Adorably animated, you can see them all around the sim, since the store sponsors the Faireland.  You can teleport directly to the store in the Faireland of The Duskfall Court HERE.
  • Lantern:  Oblivis Solem – Ghostfire Lantern.  Fantasy Faire Blue (which is what I’m holding), including both gold & silver patterns with hold or rez options, is a 100% RFL Donation.  (The lantern is also available in 6 single colors or as a fatpack.  See the ad below for more details.)  You can teleport directly to the store in the Faireland of Thunnus Bay HERE.
  • Sword:  Mindgardens Creations – Asgardian Bifrost Unity Combat Sword Set, worn sheathed.  The set includes the sword, sheath, & shield, utilizing the Unity Maxim combat system (see the ad below).  Animation HUD included.  The entire set is a 50% RFL Donation.  You can teleport directly to the store in the Faireland of Whispering Pages HERE. 
  • Head:  LeLUTKA – Gaia Head
  • Body:  LEGACY – Mesh Body Special Edition, Feminine
  • Hair:  CHAIN – Safari
  • Pose:  Le Poppycock – Grains of Sand Pack B, Hollow instep
  • Location:  Wistlyn Shallows (sponsors Star Mesh Body/Starlite Realms/M&M), a landscape where every blade of grass is a giant’s height, a daisy is a giant’s tower, and even a discarded bolt (where did that come from?) is too heavy for an ordinary human to lift.  You are tiny, insignificant, and possibly lost. As you explore those things overlooked in other realms, discover the hidden world of Fireflies and Minnows, tiny flying pixies and equally tiny aquatic mer creatures. Something far in the past has divided these two cultures, a rift seemingly impassable. But there are those who seek harmony, a way to heal the past, and a way to create the future.

Fantasy Faire is such an exciting creative delight that it’s sometimes easy to forget the more serious side of the Faire… that it is a Relay for Life charity event, a benefit for the American Cancer Society.  Cancer is that dreaded monster lurking in the shadows that haunts all of us.  I don’t know anyone who hasn’t been touched by it in some way.  I think we all shudder and inwardly sigh when we hear of another family member, a friend, a friend of a friend, a neighbor, or even a casual acquaintance who gets that dreaded diagnosis, is in the midst of their fight, or has battled and won (or even worse, has lost).  The personal battles are chilling reminders of the fragility of life, how things can change in a moment… the Faire is a way to fight the greater war by SHOPPING WITH A PURPOSE, providing funds to help build a tantalizing fantasy… a world without cancer.  Unlike the fantasy creations and wonders that we celebrate at the Faire, RFL’s fantasy is do-able… and the more dollars that we can send to this amazing charity, the greater the arsenal at their disposal.  PLEASE JOIN THE FIGHT and SHOP WITH A PURPOSE…  To date, in the 16 years since Fantasy Faire began, the Faire has raised L$187,891,611 / $751,556 USD.  By the end of the 9th day, Fantasy Faire 2024 has relayed L$13,236,171.  There’s still plenty of time… Fantasy Faire HAS BEEN EXTENDED, and will now be open through May 8th!  But don’t delay… there’s so much to see and do and buy for the cause!!!! Happy shopping!

The separate Head Accessory is in Fantasy Faire purple as a 100% RFL DONATION or as a fatpack of 7 other colors.  Matching shoes are also available as a 100% RFL DONATION in the limited purple color, or as a fatpack of 7 colors.

C’mon guys, A Faire-n’ we will go!

Posted on by cejalaval

http://C'mon guys, A Faire-n' we will go!

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!

  • Outfit:  All three of the following items are available at Fantasy Faire 2024.  You can teleport directly to the store in the Faireland of Samsara HERE.
    • Dress:  Les Encantades – Claribelle.  Stunning medieval gown with a gorgeous leaf overskirt & optional slit sleeves.  Perfect for my first fashion post for this year’s Faire!  Sized for Legacy+Perky, Maitreya+Petite, Reborn, & Kupra, Claribelle is available in 5 single colors or as a Fullpack with a full texture HUD (see the ad below).  This item is a 100% RFL Donation!  Demo available.

Go ahead, make my day!

http://Go ahead, make my day

I’ve gone back to the days of gladiators & centurions & the great odysseys through the ancient world  (though I somehow doubt that women were allowed to join those ranks, & definitely not the fae)!  It would certainly take something of a bad ass to take on this job, dealing with the ruffians of a decidedly brutal society… but then I think of Wonder Woman (hey, just another kind of fantasy, right?), and I know that my size and stature belie my fae strength and speed.  I originally envisioned my role as centurion somewhat along the lines of a London bobby, kind of “What’s all this then”,  but it rapidly evolved to more of a Dirty Harry stance, “go ahead punk, and make my day!” where I’d actually enjoy some man (or men!) to make that potentially fatal error of underestimating Centurion Thea!  And on that note, happy shopping!

  • Outfit:  Art & KO – Victress Set.  Centurions have never looked this good! Includes the dress with matching sleeves, boots, sword, & shield, plus a gold Roman helmet, in 8 single colors or as a fatpack with HUDs for each element.  Sized for Legacy+Perky & Maitreya+Petite.  Demo available. 
  • Head & Ears:  LeLUTKA – Gaia Head
  • Body:  LEGACY – Mesh Body Special Edition, Feminine
  • Skin:  Petrichor – Vareni Rose, in Cinnemaris
  • Tattoo:  Mea Tenebra – Xelanah; REVIVER – Odyss

As far as I’m concerned, it’s almost the most wonderful time of the year for my blogging… Fantasy Faire 2024 opens  in just a few days on April 18th, running thru May 5th (I simply CANNOT wait!!!!).  A Relay for Life event, Fantasy Faire is celebrating its 16th year, and is the largest gathering of fantasy designers, enthusiasts, roleplayers and performers in the virtual world.  As paraphrased from the official Press Release, you can treat yourself to shopping, dance and theater performances, DJ parties, auctions, questing, the Literary Festival, fantasy art, events and roleplaying 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.  You’ll find fantasy avatars, clothing, furnishings, gadgets and exclusive items available from over 300 of Second Life’s top Fantasy Creators across 20 stunning regions designed by the visionary artists behind many of the most adored spots on the Second Life destination guide.  I am so honored and absolutely thrilled to the tips of my wings to be an official Fantasy Faire blogger for the fourth year in a row!!!!  Such exciting things to come… here are just a few of them!
