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!

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: 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.

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!

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: Adieu (but not goodbye!!!)

Aeon Events

Not everything at Fantasy Faire is fantasy or sci-fi related!  Adieu Grunges is a lovely minidress and corset from Mishmash Fusion that fits well in nearly any contemporary setting!

  • Mishmash Fusion — Adieu Grunges minidress & corset (8 texture hud) (Feya/Isis/Venus/Lara/Hourglass/Physique/Curvy/Fine/Standard fitmesh)
  • EarthStones — Tumbled Stones (Spectrum) necklace, earrings and bracelet
  • Maitreya — Zoie boots (black)
  • *Eternal Dream* — Winter Spirit 04 pose

It’s a lovely little minidress… just cheeky enough!

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.

Come Home to Fantasy Faire 2019

Aeon Events, Places

Welina mai kākou!  Hello my friends!

The streets are yet empty, the marketplaces a whisper… the breeze swirls over the open fields, ribbons fluttering lightly.  All of the preparations have been made, the lands have been made ready.  The 2019 Fantasy Faire to support the American Cancer Society’s fight against cancer is upon us!

Today, no clothes, no jewelry, nothing to buy… i just want you to take a moment and see.

Fantasy Faire is perhaps the most amazing event in all of Second Life to me.  It’s a shopping event, sure — ten sims full of shops and kiosks and markets.  There will be treasures to find, exclusives that you may never see again.  There will be new creators to discover, there will be old favourites to visit.

There will be music and dancing.  There will be gatherings and laughter and special events to keep you busy each moment.  There are six sims just to experience — full of art, full of scenery, some of the finest exhibitions of SL creators.

But stop for now, and take a look around you.  All of this was created for this brief moment in time.  Worlds of details in every square metre… a world just for this, just for us, just for now.

These streets will not be empty for long.  Everyone I have talked to in these moments before the Faire opens has been so very excited to show you all that they have created.  Come, see, enjoy.  Share the beauty that you will find at the Fantasy Faire.  Life is short, and the Faire is but a moment.  Come, dance, shop, laugh, live…. be a part of this wonderful experience.

Fantasy Faire 2019 is open now.  Come, join us, and fill the streets with joy and song, and fill the American Cancer Society and all those who are touched by this disease with hope.

Mahalo nui!  A hui hou kākou!

Fantasy Faire 2018 — Spyralle’s Ageless Clock

Aeon Events, Gadgets, Reviews, Sponsored

One last treasure for the 2018 Fantasy Faire before it ends this weekend: the Ageless Clock from Spyralle.

As Kerryth writes:

This intriguing machine keeps time according to a system no longer known. An intricate gear mechanism turns, and at intervals a hidden bell sounds and an image takes form on the front of the object and then fades away. After a cycle of four bells and four different images, the cycle starts over again. Meanwhile, a light pulses. Is it a signal? Is it a message? No one knows.

The Ageless Clock is defaults to a large size and 7LI, but it’s resizable.  It shrinks down to a 4LI tabletop version seen below, perfectly at home on a mantlepiece or lost amidst the clutter of your laboratory.

Fantasy Faire is slipping into its final few days: the faire closes on Sunday, April 29.  If you haven’t been, you really owe it to yourself to visit — I don’t know how the creators build such a marvelous set of sims for only ten days.  And what should be foremost, it’s a wonderful opportunity to support Relay for Life and the American Cancer Society.

Please stop on by Spyralle at the Fantasy Faire, and support the cause!

Fantasy Faire 2018 — Silvan Moon Designs’ Windsor Palace

Aeon Events, Fashion, LotD, Reviews

So, first let me apologise: I had taken pics for two of Silvan Moon Designs‘ Fantasy Faire gowns several weeks apart (yes, I got advanced copies for blogging) and had no idea that I’d used the same hair and jewelry for each.  I really hate doing that, particularly for posts that are within a few days of each other.  That said, I loved how they worked for each gown, and I certainly wasn’t going to go back and re-shoot with something that worked less well!

That said, Solas and Bee present the Windsor Palace Gown for the Fantasy Faire 2018.  And where else should we take pics?  Why in Buckingham Palace, of course!

A word about the lovely Leah jewelry set from *AvaWay*.  The full set includes bracelets as well (not worn in this outfit) and an incredible texture-change hud that allows you five choices of metal colour and eight choices of gem colour, as well as the ability to change the texture of half of the gems independently of the other half.   It’s lacey teardrop motif is a perfect match to Windsor Palace.

Time is running out for Fantasy Faire 2018.  Put the party on hold for a little bit, anything that can wait should — the sims are beautiful and the goodies are amazing.

Fantasy Faire 2018 — Spyralle’s Timeless Folly

Aeon Events, Reviews, Sponsored

Some big things are afoot at Fantasy Faire 2018, including a beautiful little architectural marvel by Spyralle.  Fans of Spyralle will know that Kerryth creates not only dresses and jewelry but other knick-knacks and decorations as well.  She’s created two lovely pieces for the Fantasy Faire, the first of which I’m showing you this morning.

I really love the little accents that make this a Spyralle special.  The most obvious is the fractal-decorated glass vaulted ceiling.  If you have full lighting effects on (shadows, in particular), that ceiling makes a gorgeous shadow below.

Timeless Folly has a beautiful sense of grandeur and scale…. with lovely little accents.   As rezzed, it has a default LI of 21.  Resizing will adjust LI accordingly, but be wary – adjusting the size back and forth can play silly games with LI and mesh — I had a small cute version at 4 LI, then resized to about half-default height — and ended up at 30!   That’s okay, it’s copy, so re-rez and start again!

Take a look at the Spyralle at the Fantasy Faire, and support the cause!
