Fantasy Faire 2021: spring blooms

You may catch a glimpse of her out of the corner of your eye… sitting on a bough… drinking a drop of dew from a petal… dancing in a sunbeam.

Okay, I confess, I’m in love with my dryad. She’s probably my favourite persona — I feel like she’s a part of me no matter what skin I’m wearing.


Aeon’s pose is My Beautiful Star 1 (M) from Pink Moon (Fair Store in Yin Yang)

So when I find a new outfit that suits her, it puts me a bit over the Moon. I found a wonderful little skirt and top from .Viki. at Fantasy Faire 2021. Zelina is a beautiful skirt and top that just seem made for a fae. It’s available in five different colours, or a HUD-driven fatpack. It’s perfect!

I also have these awsome little bits of wing armour from the amazing Idrial at -FAS-. I showed off the Fairy Wings last week: these bits of thorny armour fit the wings and move with them. They have their own colour HUD to match your look!


Aeon’s pose is Naissance I from XPOSEure (Fair Store in Peaville Goes Nuts)

I hope you’ve had a wonderful Faire! There are still a few days left: I will spend every moment I can in the Fairegrounds.
Mahalo nui! A hui hou kākou!

Fantasy Faire 2021: The Dark Valkyrie

She fights against the Unweaver with a passion that only the fallen can wield.


Aeon’s pose is Valkyrie 4 from Poseidon Poses (Fair Store in Valhalla)

Time is running short on Fantasy Faire 2021, but there are still so many things to find, so many sights to see!

I get to show you a few treasures here that I picked up at the Faire. One, I confess, is not available if you don’t already have it: the dark skin I’m wearing is the Hel Draugr skin from Fallen Gods. It’s a special edition, available only for Alia Baroque’s Jail-and-Bail fundraiser last Friday evening.

It made the perfect match to the sleek Valkyrie Spirit bodysuit from *Lurve*. Lurve’s Faire store in Khol Dracys has a number of lovelies for you, and Valkyrie Spirit is definitely my favourite. It includes the unrigged helm and bracers, and both of these have just wonderful materials. The specular reflection is just PERFECT — I look like I’m wearing real steel on my forearms and head.


Aeon’s pose is Valkyrie 6 from Poseidon Poses (Fair Store in Valhalla)

I added a few other bits that are a little harder to see. GERMINAL has some lovely tattoos at the Faire, and you might be able to catch a glimpse of the Lamia foot tattoo on my calves. It’s a lovely black swirly bit, and seemed to fit well on my Valkyrie — a nice subtle bit against the darker limbs of Alia’s draugr skin. I also included the Corrupted eyes from A.D.D. Andel. I have a feeling I’ll be adding these eyes to some of my other exotic skin outfits!


Aeon’s pose is Valkyrie 2 (rev) from Poseidon Poses (Fair Store in Valhalla)

My wings are from Bare Rose, who does not have a booth at the faire, but I wanted to point these out because they’re my favourite bento angel/feathered wings. I have them in white, but they’re modify, so you can go in and adjust colour and specularity. So making some steel-grey metallic wings is easy. I’ve been able to match them to a whole bunch of different outfits.


Aeon’s pose is Valkyrie 5 from Poseidon Poses (Fair Store in Valhalla)

One last quick word.  These marvelous poses are all from Poseidon Poses — appropriately enough, the Valkyrie series.  They’re amazing and perfect.  Poseidon Poses is my go-to for action poses!  You should totally stop by their Faire store in Valhalla.

There’s still a few more things to come from the Faire. Please stop by, spend an hour or two or ten… and help support Relay for Life’s fight against Cancer.
We can hold back the Unweaver!

Aloha! A hui hou kākou!

Fantasy Faire 2021: Guardians


Protector, guardian, warrior. We are all of these when we take a stand against Unweaver.


Aeon’s pose is Naissance II from XPOSEure (Fair Store in Peaville Goes Nuts)

I think that Fantasy Faire is about protection and about memory — we raise money to help end cancers, and we remember all those that we have lost along the way. Alia Baroque was inspired by this when he created Valhalla, the Fallen Gods-sponsored sim at the Fairegrounds. And appropriately, there have been a number of Norse-inspired outfits and poses that I’ve come across at the Fairegrounds.

Today I get to show you the very well-detailed Amnerystunic from .Viki.. Amnerys is perfect for a Viking or other medieval timeframe or roleplay. It comes in 8 different animal hide options, so you’re sure to find something that suits your look. I really liked the Dark Goat!


Aeon’s pose is Freyja 3 from Astalianda (Fair Store in Valhalla)

I needed a little something for my arms, so I found these wonderful bracers from the Breeze outfit from Blue Moon Enterprises. My other pieces here you’ve seen before: the Bow of Galadhrim from Unity Maxim, Mizu’s Raider Hatchet, and the Runar boots from R3D Studio


Aeon’s pose is Tauriel 3 from Poseidon Poses (Fair Store in Valhalla)

The Faire will be coming to a close this weekend… it’s always so hard to part with such a magical place. It’s more than a shopping event, it’s a community event. I hope that you have had the opportunity to enjoy it. If not.. there’s still time!

Fantasy Faire 2021: Fallen Angel

Did it hurt when she fell? You did not just ask that. She has all kinds of ways to make you hurt.


Aeon’s pose is Fairy 3 from AZKPose (Fair Store in Yin Yang)

For your Friday Faire pleasures, a devilishly amazing outfit put together from a host of Faire merchants! We’re going to start with Aii, who have put together the tantalising Bellatrix bodysuit outfit here. The outfit comes in Legacy and Maitreya fitmesh, and features separate pieces for legs, arms, shoes, a neckpiece, pauldrons, and the bodysuit itself. If you want to wear it all together (as I am here), there’s a full-up combination that makes getting dressed even easier. There’s a fabulous HUD included that allows you to customise all KINDS of colours here!

Aii & Ego together bring you the wings and tail sets here. The Nefarious wings are bento animated, and come in five sizes that are sure to fit your look. The Avarice tail is animated, and comes with an optional Soul flame that sits right at the tip of the tail. There’s also a Soul Flame that you hold in your hand… sometimes. I’m not going to spoil this one by telling you about it, you MUST go try it out, it’s too cute for words.


Aeon’s pose is Valkyrie 2 from Poseidon Poses (Fair Store in Valhalla)

I’ve matched these up with the Black Fire skin from Fallen Gods It seemed the perfect match to go with Bellatrix. You can see that I’ve added the Flame Web specular tattoo from Stargazer Creations. I’m a big fan of the shinies, and when you have advanced lighting turned on, these just create a beautiful bit of fire for you.


Aeon’s pose is Fairy 3 from AZKPose (Fair Store in Yin Yang)

I found a beautiful set of eyes from Petrichor at the Faire. These are the Galline eyes, and they have an amazing hud with so many choices for shadings, for gloss, and even pupil shapes! I’m also showing off the Celestial tattoo from Nefekalum. I actually picked this up a month or so ago at We Love Role Play, but it’s available at Fantasy Faire right now as well!


Aeon’s pose is My Beautiful Star 2 from Pink Moon (Fair Store in Yin Yang)

Topping off the outfit is my favourite set of Cernunnos horns from [Gauze & Trap], the only merchant in the list who is not represented at the Faire!  And remember, all my poses today are available at the Faire!  Check the pics for links!

I certainly don’t play a demoness frequently, but it’s so much fun to do something different, and it’s just brilliant to find so many things to put together in one amazing package. I wish you all a wonderful Faire!

A hui hou kākou!

Fantasy Faire 2021: A taste of the far East

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!


Aeon’s pose is Furimuki #3 (mirror) from Snow White and the Seven Kitties

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

Fantasy Faire 2021: In the golden light

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!

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

Fantasy Faire 2021: Welcome Home

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

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 PerceptionsI 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

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.
