Fantasy Faire 2019: The last huntress

Aeon Events, Fashion, LotD, Reviews

As the gloaming draws in, thoughts turn to home…. to the warm fires, tasty foods, stories, friends, companionship.

  • Scarlet Fey — Elven Asym outfit (boots, coat, gauntlets, top, pants) for  Fantasy Faire 2019 (Maitreya Lara fitmesh only!)
  • Spyralle — Waverider Storm tattoo (face)
  • Poseidon Poses — The Raven 3 pose

The Fantasy Faire draws to a close this year, and despite being a week longer than previous years, it’s hard to believe it’s over.  I’ve tracked quarry across 16 faireground sims, and seen so many things, met so many people… and so many things I know I haven’t gotten to see.

But Fantasy Faire has done something amazing, and you have all done something amazing.  The goal was set to raise US$40,000 for the Relay for Life’s fight for a cure to cancers.  As of this morning, SL through Fantasy Faire has raised US$60,080  That’s over FIFTEEN MILLION LINDENS!

  • Foxcity — A Pretty Good Hair Day pose

I’m… I’m stunned.  I’m amazed.  No huntress could dare to bring home such a quarry.

Fantasy Faire 2019 is here through the end of Sunday.. then the sims will grow quiet, and dark, and fade into our memories.  Shining bright is the thought that we have made a difference, as a group… shining bright is the thought of next year…. shining bright is all the happiness shared, in the Faire and because of your generosity.

Truly, from the bottom of this one’s heart, mahalo nui kākou.

Fantasy Faire 2019: Malika

Aeon Events, Fashion, LotD, Reviews

There is one more week of the magic of Fantasy Faire 2019 remaining, and still so many fun things to go and see.  This lovely dark gown is from God Mod, and has a perfect gothicky dark flair!

The shoulder pieces are unrigged mesh, and can be adjusted to your fit.  Earthstones‘s Phoenix Rising carried the spikey motif, and the reds seemed to echo the rust highlights in Malika.

There are so many wonderful things at Fantasy Faire, and every one helps contribute to the fight against cancer.  With 16 sims, you can always get in somewhere and have a look around.  Fantasy Faire 2019 is only here until May 5, and there is SO MUCH to see.

Mahalo!  A hui hou!

Fantasy Faire 2019: A Golden Oasis

Aeon Events, Fashion, LotD, Reviews

I love how things just come together.  There is this beautiful little fountain/planter area in the Midas sim at Fantasy Faire 2019, and I fell in love with it when I saw it.  I snapped a few quick pics, but wasn’t satisfied with them¸they didn’t do a great job capturing the oasis beauty.  Fantasy Faire  is fey, however, and tempts with so many beauties… and Nirma Designs / Moonlay Designs and Dreaming Thicket provided the perfect ensemble.  The lovely little Ashanti top and skirt are gacha rares from Nirma Designs / Moonlay Designs, and are absolutely wonderfully textured.

The Dianthus veil from Dreaming Thicket is a perfect complement to Ashanti.  The unrigged mesh can be adjusted for that perfect fit on any face.  There are opaque and transparent versions to suit your look!

Are you looking for a little sparkle of gold to brighten your day?

Fantasy Faire 2019: A Sea of Stars

Aeon Events, Fashion, LotD, Reviews

Aloha kākou!  Happy Aloha Friday!  I want to share a beautiful gown from God Mod!  Heart of the Sea is a wonderful iridescent gown in fitmesh for Maitreya, SLink, and Belleza bodies, as well as the five standard rigged mesh sizes, and it’s available at Fantasy Faire through May 5! I already showed the Ethereal wings from Lunaria, but I really loved how they worked with the colours of Heart of the Sea.

I really love a bare back, particularly one that shows my foil tattoo from Alaska Metro so well-framed!

Fantasy Faire 2019: Sundown

Aeon Events, Fashion, LotD, Reviews

A goddess reborn in a city of gold, a living light upon an azure sea.

You may remember this skin from an earlier post, but when I saw the golden Marigold gown that Moonlitecat Creations was featuring for Fantasy Faire 2019, I knew that it would be perfect matched with Fallen Gods‘ water-gold Chronos skin.  And it works out well, Fallen Gods is featuring Chronos at the Faire as well!

I really love the detailing and texturing in this gown.  I can see the shimmer in the folds, even in the still image!  The oblique lighting angles cast some wonderful shadows that enhance the lay of the gown.

The evening light fades, the belt of Venus girdles the city, and the darkness closes in… but the light that is within shines bright.

  • <unknown pose>  (I’m sorry, I apparently didn’t record this one!)

I really love this aspect of shopping and exploring events such as this.  Full-up avatars are one thing, and full-up outfits are cool, but I really love finding things that go with other things and creating my very own look.

Fantasy Faire 2019: Darkna le’ Draegon

Aeon Events, Fashion, Reviews

In times of great need, we arise to meet tasks we never thought we could shoulder.

I’ll admit it, when I play D&D or other role-playing games (have you played Pathfinder ACG?  OMG so much fun!), I’m always playing the archer, or a sorceress, or a rogue…. never the fighter, never the swordswoman.  I just… never envisioned myself that way.

But Darkna le’ Drageon from Whymsical Marketplace is enough to change a girl’s point-of-view, and it’s on sale at Fantasy Faire 2019 now!

This armour set is designed for fitmesh, but also has rigged mesh pieces in three sizes.  You’re nearly guaranteed to be able to assemble your outfit from this!

  • {Way} — Aline R. 01 pose

This is an amazing little reminder to leave yourself open to things that might not have originally felt like you.  I definitely need to unleash a little bad-ass at various points in RL sometimes!  What a great way to channel my inner warrior, even if I probably can’t even lift that sword, let alone swing it!

Fantasy Faire 2019: Aetheria

Aeon Events, Fashion, LotD, Reviews

I hope you’re not tired of hearing about Fantasy Faire 2019 yet, because… it’s going to be a long two weeks here otherwise.

She walked to the edge of the pool, feeling the cool water over her tired feet, soaking the hem of her gown.  The responsibilities of the Court retreating for just a while as the peace of the pool soaks her soul.

Solas and Bee at Silvan Moon Designs present Aetheria, a beautifully detailed gown for Fantasy Faire.  It comes in fitmesh for Maitreya and SLink bodies, and is available in three colour choices.

AiShA offers these wonderful Kraken bracelet rings for the Faire.  I really love interesting arm and hand jewelry, and this suits just fine.  I suspect if you’re a Game of Thrones fan it might have other significance, but it would also look right at home for your mermaid to be wearing these lovely he’e.

Fantasy Faire 2019: Violet Pixie

Aeon Events, Fashion, LotD, Reviews

Go big or stay home.

But it’s okay to feel small, too.

In fair warning, this is my full-sized avi with a Maitreya body, and the lovely Ademe Warrior outfit from Roped Passions is Maitreya fitmesh: it’s just the lovely scenery at Fantasy Faire 2019 that makes makes me teeny.

 

The Ethereal wings from Lunaria are unscripted, but have a gentle flexi-like motion as you move.  They’re not flight wings, but they’re great for wearing in high-lag areas… or anytime you just want to look wonderful.

I left off jewelry with this outfit, but augmented instead with the beautiful Hope tattoo from Stardust, exclusive for the Fantasy Faire: when the Faire is over, this lovely adornment will be gone!

Prowl

Aeon Events, Fashion, LotD, Reviews

She walked with a feline grace, and a sense of purpose, barely contained, hunting….

I came across this lovely strappy… minidress, I think, at We Love Role Play this month.  Midgar II is from Sasheba’s Closet, and comes with a lovely texture hud with ___ options.  I may not be exactly sure what it is, but I like it!  It has wonderful strappy detail, and is rather … cheeky.

Midgar II has a lovely slightly-dystopian feel to it that seems right at home for a huntress in the city streets.  Perhaps you might pair it with a few pistols… or a couple of long knives.  I have slightly different weapons in mind, though.

It was close, so close she could smell it in the air… she was closing in, there would be no escape this time.

She followed the scent of her prey until she found it in along the market street, bathed in neon light, waiting for her.  She licked her lips in anticipation…

… the dim sum would finally be hers.

Twenty seconds into the future

Aeon Events, Fashion, LotD, Reviews

Weekends are for shopping, spending some time on a lazy Sunday morning, wandering about events with good friends and family, enjoying a beautiful day… sometimes it’s the old familiar places, sometimes it’s new new locales with dazzling scenery and decoration.  Later on I’ll look over a few new treasures, and see how they speak to me, what story they tell me when I find a place to take some new pics to share.

We wandered about the NeoJapan event last weekend, and I got the chance to stop by Insilico for a few pics.  Tomoe is a beautiful little kimono from EXiA, complete with gloves and armbands, and it definitely feels to be appropriate for NeoJapan — that exciting cross between old-world culture and a view of a cyberpunk future, perhaps.

EXiA also has boots and a brace of kunai to strap to your thigh available for separate purchase.  The high boots are lovely, high-heeled with straps and an open toe.  Open-toe high boots are not exactly my style, but I found something that suited me even better.  Jazabelle Boutique has a lovely new outfit called Crimson Dragon, and includes black boots with a red dragon motif that is just the purrrrrrfect coomplement for Tomoe’s  kimono.

You know, there was an old television programme that I’ve caught on the youtubes… you may have heard of Max Headroom?  There was this wonderful little tagline that I recall printed on the bottom of the screen like a closed-caption statement at the beginning of each episode, setting the stage: “Twenty seconds into the future.”  That stuck with me, even though I never watched more than a couple episodes of the programme.

Twenty seconds into the future.  Near enough to be here… just distant enough to not be right now.

Exia’s Tomoe is perfect for that moment — twenty seconds into the future.

Mahalo!  A hui hou kākou!
