Just a few more hours

Till Fantasy Faire is open for all. I am enjoying a bloggers preview right now and let me tell you it is SO going to be worth all the lag to come and visit these sims. The builds are all breathtaking and the offerings by the vendors are sumptuous.

Starting tomorrow at 9am SL time you can get to the sims starting at the Fairelands Junction http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Fairelands%20Junction/146/132/21

I will be bringing you previews of many Relay offerings from various designers this year. They changed how we got previews so we do not have assigned stores. Some stores set out vendor boxes, some dropped items right on us and some I am buying no matter what. It all goes to fight cancer after all! So I have a lot to choose from! It's exciting.

I will also, as usual, be doing a post for each of the breathtaking sims, this years hunts, and something new this year, Roelplay in the Faire lands. They have three to choose from and I have chosen to take part in the Rickety Weasels Rp. It's run by some people I know of from Steelhead and looks to be quite fun!



Every year for Fantasy Faire I choose a base outfit for exploring in, changing out of it just to show off Items for blog posts. I usually just aim for as Low Lag as I can get as a Fur, but this years has some meaning to it so I am making a mention of it in this post.

On this past Easter Sunday my Aunt Daisy passed on at the age of 94, of cancer. At her age they chose to not treat it or even delve too much into finding out what kind, as that would just as likely have taken her as the cancer would. They made sure her last weeks where as comfortable as possible. My Sister and my Niece and Nephew even managed to see her the day before she passed.

So in her honor I am wearing a daisyfied outfit and Daisies in my hair. It's Adagio in the Clouds Gown by Caverna Obscura and the CO Daisy Wreath.





Come to The Fantasy Faire Tomorrow! You will NOT regret it! Trust me!

It's almost time...



https://fantasyfairesl.wordpress.com/


Fantasy Faire opens this Thursday with blogger day on Wednesday. I will be there ALL DAY taking shots of the amazing builds. And blogging away at each of the sims and some of the talented desginers that are at the faire.


It's a Relay for Life event so when you buy from a Relay Vendor that money goes to help fund Cancer Research!


I am so excited! The sims sound like they are going to be even MORE magical then before!


Sim Descriptions and Designer list can be found here And be sure to check out the flikr group for the faire to see other amazing photos from the event. You can already get some previews of some of the fantastic offerings by the designers on the flikr page!

I see the Light

Tangled is one of my absolutely favorite Disney Movies.

So when I saw this pose set bu Hopscotch I wanted it. And felt it the PERFECT set to get back into doing the official blogger stuff for Chandni that I hadn't been able to due to Computer issues.

It's one of the many delightful offerings by Hopscotch for this years Pose Fair

I missed the blogger pack with it due to being in Oklahoma but did not care one bit that I had to go pick it up myself. I was only annoyed that I had to WAIT a week to GET it!

But it is MINE now and I dressed Adar up as Eugene and we went to Ode and took some photos. I love how they turned out.

There are more poses, all of them work as a single pose except one meant to work as a couple pose. Do go by the Pose fair and pick them up before the fair closes! So very worth it!

The Four Elements

This is a photo shoot theme I've been sitting on a while and last night got off my tail and did it.

A while back Boudoir released some fabulous outfits each themed to one of the four classical Elements, Air, Earth, Fire, and Water. I took them, paired them with poses from LostAngel Industries Elemental pose props and took myself off to a skybox for the shoot. I chose to just use a simple textured background on each one to make the pose and outfit be the stand out.

Slurl to Boudoir

These are all taken in-world with the only post processing done was cropping. No touching up no effects. Just fun with windlighting!



Air

posed used [LA] WIND

Air is my fav of all four shots. I just love how it looks like I blended myself into the clouds but nope, that's all in world!



Earth

posed used [LA] Enchanting Siren

I didn't like any of the Earth items, they where all to small or got lost in the outfit so I used a water based pose for Earth.


Fire

posed used [LA] The Seven Elements: Fire

I love the dragon in my hair for this outfit. And the ring of fire pose was just perfect.


Water

posed used [LA] Undersea Treasure

Water is my second fav shot. And I wish I could show the animation on the skit of this outfit, it shimmers like the sun on the water.


I loved doing this theme shoot, I should look into doing more of them!

I spent way to much time and lindens getting that head dress. It's the ultra rare and boy howdy is it ULTRA rare. I need to figure out if I can remove the eye thing as it doesn't QUIITEEEE work on my face.

If you haven't yet and like the TV show Game of Thrones or the Books the show is based on get to the Secret Affair! So much pretty even if you're not a fan! I picked up a number of stunning gowns.

There are in fact quite a few events this month that are worth a drop by! Far to many for me to list.

My sim of choice for my return is a stunning water sim I saw on a blog, that I now don't remember whose it was. It's a very relaxing and charming place to explore, with many remnants of the Worlds End Garden in it.

It's called Paradiso, and a must go if you need a soothing get away from all the crazy shopping events going on.

I loved the candles floating about on the water the best.
