Sighs, it just goes so fast!  All that anticipation beforehand, all the joy when the Fairelands emerge out of the mists in all new, surprising, amazingly creative forms, and now the sadness as the gates ready to close…  But that is the beauty of the Faire and part of its allure… Luckily the Faire was extended by Patch Linden for two days is open till midnight SLT today May 6th... and who knows? there’s a rumor that the gates may remain open into the next morning, but no guarantees on that!  But there’s still time to explore that one Faireland you may have missed, hit those stores to get those last-minute purchases, and help the goal of building a world without cancer.  Fantasy Faire 2025 has relayed L$24,569,536 by the end of the eighteenth day of the Faire.  There’s still time to kick that number up a notch or two, and at Fantasy Faire, shopping with a cause is just so much fun!  So here I am, sad that it’s ending, happy that I got to spend so much within the gates… So much pressure to make sure I’ve seen and done everything I can!!!! OK, enough sadness about it ending… wipes away my mermaid tears, and flips my tail…  I’m off to enjoy these last hours!  See you at the Faire!!!

• Tail:  Aii & Ego – Riptide Mermaid.  To this mermaid, there is no more beautiful tail in the SL sea!  Long & narrow, as legs would be if they were pressed together to grow as a tail, they present a truly incredible silhouette.  Sized for Reborn, Maitreya, Legacy F+M, Athletic, & Jake, Riptide includes a built-in Half-AO as well as a 40+ textures customization HUD.  And if that’s not enough, it’s easy to utilize custom textures (like I did here, see next store).  Copy & mod, there is a demo available at the Faire store in Galerie Gaillard HERE.

As if hidden by the earth itself, kept secret from the world above to preserve the life-force within. The stories passed down speak of flora and fauna that are illuminated by the power of this lush cavern, the grotto walls themselves glittering with energy, but more interestingly tell of a great stag at the heart of it all that gives the gift of life itself. But that’s a legend for you.

Time to celebrate! My most favorite time of year, I can’t stop smiling and my wings are getting tired from all the excited flapping!  Dedicated to building a World without Cancer, Fantasy Faire is a megaevent benefitting the American Cancer Society , and is in its 17th year of delighting Second Life residents.  To quote from the press release, Fantasy Faire is “the largest gathering of fantasy designers, enthusiasts, roleplayers and performers in the virtual world. From Thursday, April 17 to Sunday May 4, treat yourself to shopping, dance and theater performances, DJ parties, auctions, questing, our Literary Festival, thematic 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 18 stunning regions designed by the visionary artists behind many of the most adored spots on the Second Life destination guide.

In addition to the fourteen shopping regions there will also be Faireland realms that take us beyond commerce and give us places to celebrate together as a community.  Party with fairies, demons and tinies at the Fairechylde. Adventure with the Bard Queen as you complete the Fairelands Quest. Explore the Fairelands on the Litfest Tours. Immerse yourself in a world of stories with the Litfest, Roleplay and Performance events. Remember loved ones with the Memorial Garden and embrace new dreams with the Worldling Cradle.”
