AND WE HAVE LIFT OFF! *blows trumpets, throws glitter* FANTASY FAIRE IS OPEN!



It's been open a few hours in fact, but I had a dentist appointment and wasn't able to post till now.

The outfit you see above is my "base" outfit for exploring the sims. It's what I will be in unless in the sim posts. The necklace is a relay item from THIS years Fantasy faire and you can get it on the Aurora sim. It's a lil vile of hope fairy dust and I fell in love with it the moment I opened the blogger package up and saw it. I will also be adding it to my Relay day outfit.

I am very glad this year, that I am not relaying in honor of anyone I lost this past year. Though I know others are, and others are going through cancer right now. My friend Moria whom I was Relaying for last year is in full remission of hers. And so this year I simply Relay to bring hope to others. Hope that one day this beast of a disease will be beaten back in ALL its forms. And that one day the words , "You have Cancer" will not be so filled with dread and fear.

I will start my trip around the faire with the usual starting point, then go clockwise around the sims. So, here we go...From the webpage..

FAIRELANDS JUNCTION | SLURL Sponsored by Cerridwen’s Cauldron.

Fairelands Junction (by Saiyge Lotus) hosts portals to all the other Fairelands, hastening your trip should you not wish to sightsee and explore. This year the Junction is half a mer-realm, so make sure to explore underwater!

Saiyge has once again, done a beautiful job on the Fairelands sim. This year we dive underwater to reach the portals to the other realms. Each encased in an pillared archway. Stunning Bioluminescencent plants encircle the portals. And schools of fish swim among them all. Careful of some of plants! They puff out liquids when touched! And who knows what other secrets the depths hold.

Then if you head upwards you will find the remains of some Grecian pavilions, that house the auction items, as well as an island with a tree and the wall of candles, for remembrance. Scattered about are various boats to laze in and watch the world go by. And bubbling up at one spot is a cluster of balloon/bubbles to cavort in among butterflies. Floating above it all are colored paper lanterns, adding just the right touch to it all.

Tomorrow..

Right now I sit in the Fairelands Junction sim, at the start of Blogger Preview for Fantasy Faire, an event for Relay for Life of Secondlife and one of my favorite events all year.

 To say I am excited is an understatement. But this event is also full of emotion for me, The meaning behind it, what the money it raises is for. And the stunning builds on each sim. Blogger preview can be overwhelming just at the sheer BEAUTY of it all.

 I'll be doing at LEAST 4 posts a day, two for a sim two for creators on the sims, until the end of June. I will miss the last few days due to going off to a real life faire the Oklahoma Renaissance festival, which I am one of its fairies.

 Creators this year have been very generous with their blogger offerings so I have tons to blog! It's going to be hard to pick what I want to show off as I have SO much for some sims I can't blog it all!

 My Theme post will of course be taken on one of the sims.

 For more information and to see a schedule of the events, list of shops, Hunt info and tons more please visit https://fantasyfairesl.wordpress.com

It opens tomorrow for the public at 9 AM Sl time. See you in the Fairelands!

So this is a day later then it should have been due to the last driver update for my graphics card made Secondlife Crash every time I took a photo. Figured out how to roll it back to a previous one and all's good! But it did mean I needed to change the sim I explored, as the Gardens Of Whimsy Sim, SLURL, has a LOT to see and I didn't have as much time. So I chose to go to Pandora's Box of Dreams new build, Dreams of Endless Spring.

I will just have to go back to Gardens of Whimsy later.

The new Dream on Pandora is just as lovely as the last one. It's a semi "water sim" but with lots of flowers and trees and rocks. And some houses scattered about. AND there is a secret underwater area for you to find! I throughly enjoyed my visit to this sim. And I am looking forwards to seeing the next dreams to appear on it.

Next Weeks Theme Whimsy

So, I was so excited about something I was doing last Thursday that I completely forgot to post this. To the point of I forgot I forgot to post it till today! OOPS!

Oh and what was it? I was meeting Peter S. Beagle, author of The Last Unicorn. A book VERY important to my childhood. It was part of the screening tour of the movie. But I was getting a bonus, as he prefers to stay with his fans instead of a hotel. And my friends I was staying with where his hosts in Tulsa! *flails* We spent Friday Morning just talking with him in their living room!

So yeah, between that and knowing my new RL wings by Fancy Fairy, loosely based on my SL wings, where due in I was a tad scatter brained Thursday.

ONWARD!

For the theme this week I went to a fun color themed build by the amazing Romy Nayar.

The build is 99% done in blacks, whites, and grays. It is a town that is just discovering color and you will spot it in various locations. And at one point you will meet a woman who will give you a free hud and an invite to join a group. Join the group and wear the hud and fiddle with it. And you can draw in the air of the sim. Adding your own temporary bit of color!

The build is also a bit fun to get around as its one long chain, connected at various spots by different means of transportation. And its a no fly area so if you fall, you gotta start alllll over again. But the platforms are rather well done so you shouldn't fall.

All my photos of it are at this link

Easter, I am fully aware of the importance of this holiday to some, heck my Dad's a preacher. But I am now of another faith. So, for me, it no longer has that meaning. Now for me its about springtime, colored eggs, chocolate, bunnies, and flowers.

And so to revile in those, I chose two areas, 2015 Easter Town and Botanica's A-Mazing Easter Egg Hunt to explore. You can see all of the photos I took here .

Easter town is on the sim that for every holiday they change the theme. I'm not sure what the next one will be, possibly not open till they do it up for the 4th of July.

It was bright, colorful, and cute, with many things to do and buy. Events, Hunts, games, and poses all over, there is even an egg decorating contest going on. You could win 7000L ! But it was SUPER crowded with a lot of newbies and something was making my viewer eat up memory to the point of crashing. JUST on that sim, it was fine on others. Might be my system, a graphics card glitch, but thought to warn others if they go. I did enjoy it though! I picked up some things and may go back for a tree they have..

Botanica's A-Mazing Easter Egg Hunt is the other place I visited. I went to two places as, due to the above mentioned Memory crash and very crowded issue I was not able to stay on long enough to set up and rez in the props to get it done at easter town.

Plus I just LOVE the Panoramic eggs they had set up in the Egg hunt area! A bit out dated as they used a lot of Alpha textures and low prim mesh, but still very pretty.
