Fantasy Faire 2021: A taste of the far East

Aeon Events, Fashion, Reviews

A moment of serenity, amidst the spring cherry blossoms


Aeon’s pose is Gypsy soul 1 from Pink Moon

Aloha! Greetings from the Fairegrounds!

Unlike most of my shots during the Faire, this was not shot on the lovely sims that the Fantasy Faire creators have brought to life, but I want you to focus on the outfit, not on my surroundings!

I have a beautiful kimono set from Sakka’s Studio to show you today. Kosode is a wonderful set, with kimono, nagoya obi, hair bow. I’ve added the Obuto Zori footwear to go with it. It’s such a wonderful combo.


Aeon’s pose is Kimono-F4 from Happy Dispatch Animation

Sakka’s Studio has a wide array of Japanese period clothing, all very well-textured and well-rigged. There are a multitude of beautiful patterns and colours to choose from, or save yourself from impossible choices and get the fatpack. It is Fantasy Faire, after all, and part of all sales go to support Relay for Life’s fight against cancer. The more you spend, the more you help out!

Oh, and one more lovely little thing — a beautiful little wah, a Red Panda from Manticore. It’s the most adorable little thing, and the perfect companion to follow along at your heels!

I hope you are enjoying the Faire! This is my favourite part of the SL year!

Aloha kākou! A hui hou!

Fantasy Faire 2021: In the golden light

Aeon Events, LotD, Reviews, Sponsored

A golden glow, sparkling and bright, mystery and elegance and beauty.


Aeon’s pose is My beautiful star 5 (M) from Pink Moon

Aloha! Greetings from the Fairegrounds!

A few little lovelies for you today. First let’s make very clear that -AZUL- is one of my favourite gown makers, producing some of the most lovely textured elegant gowns that I’ve found in-world. The beautiful Essi is no exception! It’s available at the Faire in gold or silver, with a beautifully textured golden accent. The silver gown (which I’m not showing you!) is particularly striking, as the golden detail against the silver makes a very beautiful two-toned contrast. The gold works a little better with my complexion, so I opted to show the gold gown!


Aeon’s pose is Frigg 1 (M) from Astalianda

That statue in the background is worth a closer look: it’s a beautiful set piece from from Cerridwen’s Cauldron called The Heart Mender. It comes in two versions: white marble (shown) and a crystal version. Both versions feature crystal hearts (one broken, one healed) in the hands. It will be a beautiful addition to your garden or hall! Oh, yes, and it comes with a planter garden surround (great for a garden) or without (better for the hall, probably).

There’s a wonderful set of masks from from AIR. Maschera a un’ala comes in gold and silver versions for Relay for Life, and has full, left, or right side only. I love the idea of the half-mask, so, here you go. It really works nicely, I think, with Azul’s Essi gown. The mask is resizable mesh, so getting a good fit is pretty straightforward.

You’ll also note the wonderful halo from *SR* design. The haloes come in seven different colours, and can be modified in colour. There’s a beautiful shimmering kind of effect, and a slow rotation of the whole thing. As i write this up, I’m wearing it with a purple fae that I wear while I dance on the Fairchylde. It mounts on the avatar centre, so it stays in place behind you as you dance, which is kinda neat. I’ll have to take another pic and show that off to you later!


Aeon’s pose is Naissance II from XPOSEure

I hope you are having a wonderful Faire-day! I will see you around the Fairegrounds!

A hui hou kākou!

This floral on black dress is FREE at the MIIX event.  It’s for a limited time only, so rush and get yours!

This is nicely designed dress with (what appears to be) a semi-sheer outer over an opaque inner dress layer, and gives it a very interesting look.  Being Second Life, the top part of the outer layer doesn’t exist, but it’s a nice texturing illusion 🙂

The panties are included and are separate from the dress.  Also included is a HUD that allows you to pick from twenty plains and twenty patterns for the upper and lower parts of the dress.  You can also pick from the same twenty colors for the panties.

Sizes included are Lara, Freya, Isis, Venus, Hourglass, and Physique.

 

Witchwood Hunt

blue Events, LotD

Whichwood, the home of Petite Mort and Oubliette, is sponsoring a sim hunt and it’s on now!  There are twelve hunt items to find, and each item is priced between L$10 and L$20.  I’m not a huge fan of expensive hunts, as you’re already benefiting the stores by participating in their hunt and increasing their traffic, but I had to grab this blouse and skirt from the hunt, I just love the floral on black!

The blouse and skirt are separates, and both are sized for Lara, Freya, Isis, Venus, Physique, and Hourglass.  The blouse was L$20 and the skirt was L$10.

It’s nearing the end of the month, which always makes finding outfits for the blog more difficult.  I’m sure I could hop over to Fantasy Faire, but Aeon is doing a fantastic job of documenting that, and she’s told me she has a number of outfits lined up to show you, so I better look elsewhere…

So I hunted around and found this dress FREE for members of MGS&N!

It’s only sized for Lara, but it comes with a nine color HUD, and the colors are all as pretty as this one.  Being close to the end of the month, I’m not sure how long this will be available, so run and get it now.

I also decided to get a new hairstyle for an outfit yesterday.  Somewhere I picked up the black and white version of this hairstyle, and I’ve used it for elvish outfits, and I really like its pixie look, so I grabbed the red pack too.  Individual color packs are L$200 each.

I’ve mentioned Gabriel before, and while they are mostly a shop for guys, there are some really nice things for us girls there too.  This fringed top and skirt a case in point, and the pieces are only L$1 each!

The top and skirt are separates, and both are sized for Lara and Physique.  As I mentioned, it’s L$1 for each piece, and there are five colors available at the store, so you can get this in all five colors for just L$10 all up.  Super bargain!

Fantasy Faire 2021: A dryad dream

Aeon Events, LotD, Sponsored

Bright as a sunbeam, as warm as dark forest loam, sparkling like rain….


Aeon’s pose is My beautiful star 1 (M) from Pink Moon

Aloha kākou! Greetings from the Faire!

Before I even start, OMG what a beautiful sim the wonderful and talented Gidgy has created! Last year she wowed us at FF2020 with Queensgarden. This year she was asked to decorate the FF2021 Quest Sim, and she has created The Seventh Valley. Okay, it’s probably awfully early to say so, but it’s DEFINITELY my favourite sim at the Faire. Come and see, you won’t regret it. It is alive with magic, with life, with growth… with hope.

I’ve got two lovely little items for you that I picked up at the Faire. You’ll recognise my dryad — I’ve featured her before in several posts, and she’s truly one of my very favourite personas. I am absolutely delighted when I find new treasures for her. I found a number of new things last year at the Faire, and this year is no different!

The first thing I want to share with you is the lovely little Mirkwood Mask from Bliensen + MaiTai. The mask is unrigged and resizable, and comes in three different versions: all gold, all silver, and a beautiful wood with green leaves that matches my arm and leg vines from SBPC.


Aeon’s pose is Gypsy soul 2 from Pink Moon

The other happy shiny here are a new set of wings from -FAS-. Faery Wings are a lovely set of bento locust-wings. They come in three different sets, each with up to nine different textures. The texturing and materials on these are beautiful, and they shine wonderfully in the light. They even come with a bento animation hud!


Aeon’s pose is a capture from the Flying Fairy Hover V10 from Gaeline Creations

Oh!  And let me not forget the wonderful poses from Pink Moon!  They have several wonderful sets for the Faire, and I’ve got two samples here from the  Gypsy Soul and My Beautiful Star sets!

How can I not have fallen in love with her? She is all my best moments — full of joy and life, little and fierce and bright. Everything that I want to share with others around me.

I hope you are having a wonderful Faire-day! I will see you around the Fairegrounds!

A hui hou kākou!

Fantasy Faire 2021: Welcome Home

Aeon Events

E komo mai! Welcome home to the Faire!

Today marks the opening of the 2021 Fantasy Faire to benefit the American Cancer Society’s Relay For Life.  Today we start the festivities, the shopping, the sharing, the shopping, the dancing, the SHOPPING!

Planners have been planning for months.  Creators have been working.  Builders have been making the most amazing sims for you to explore.  There are sims for shopping, sims for dancing, sims for sitting and just being.

I’m not going to review anything here today.  I’m not going to show off any products.  I just want to show you a few snapshots of some of my favourite places in the Faire so far without comment.  Take a look… then come and see for yourself.  Tell me your favourite places!

I’ll see you at the Faire!

Fantasy Faire 2021: A magic glade

Aeon Events

Aloha kākou!  Today is the second of my series on Fantasy Faire 2021, and one more taken at the Realm of Light sim before the Fairegrounds actually open tomorrow.  I have a few more beautiful little landscaping deco pieces for you today!

The first is the Fairy Wishing Tree (Rainbow Edition) from Simply Shelby.  It’s a beautifully detailed heart-shaped tree, with lovely glowing faerie lights in the branches!

The sign at the bottom has a beautiful little wish for your dreams.

The Fairy Wishing Tree comes with two versions included: the tree, flowers, stones and sign (as shown), as well as the tree by itself.

The other lovely item here is the Spring & Summer Tree of Love & Poetry from *Thus Magic*.  It too is beautifully detailed, with some lovely birds and nice single and couples poses.

You can also see some more of the Glowbell Flowers from 3rd Eye Perceptions.  I shared these yesterday, but here are some better shots of the melon variety!

Fantasy Faire 2021 will open tomorrow (Thursday, April 22) at 9:00 SLT!  Come and see!

Aloha kākou!  I will see you all on the fairegrounds!

Come back to the Faire

Aeon Events

It’s been a year.

A year of sadness, a year of stress, a year of trials.

It’s been a year of struggle for… all of us.

And here we are… one year later.. .and we have survived, many of us.  We have grown… we have found strength that we didn’t know we had.

On April 22, Fantasy Faire 2021 opens for just a few short days — two weeks of adventure, of shopping, of laughter, of stories, of sharing.  Two weeks of old friends and new ones.

Two weeks to raise as much money as we can for Relay for Life’s fight against cancer.

There are so many treasures to find at the Faire that will help this fight.  I’m going to start with some landscaping/deco items for you today.

The centrepiece of this little vignette is In Our Darkest Hour, from The Olde Attic.  This piece is beautifully detailed, with the most amazing little birds perched on the branches.  And of course, for those of us who love the Faire and carry its flame in our hearts all year long, the Faire logo will find a perfect place in a grotto or clearing on your sim.

I really love the Glowbell Flowers from 3rd Eye Perceptions.  They come in three different colours (melon, lavender, and peach) and have a lovely glow to them in the dark that’s surprising.  They’re perfect for a little fantasy scene, and you’ll see them in a few other shots of mine in the days to come.

The other fun plants here are Grey’s Strange Eggs from Grey’s Mind Maze Cocteau.  They come in four elemental shades — Earth is shown on the left, and Air and Water are on the right/centre.  They’re strange and beautiful and a lovely little accent.

Last year was amazing.  Last year raised over eighteen million lindens — a bit over seventy-five thousand US dollars for the cause.  We will do even better than that this year, for all those who face cancer, who live with it, who fight against it, who support those who do, who are touched by cancer.  This is a fight we are all in together.

I’ll be sharing lots of wonderful joys with you here over the next two weeks.  Come to the Faire… shop, share, enjoy.  And give… give because we can make a difference.

Together.
