The Skin Party – Comedy and Tragedy

Each year at Fantasy Faire Alia Baroque of Fallen Gods Inc releases a pair of limited edition avatar skins. These aren’t just limited to the Faire though, they’re limited to a single 2 hour party(technically called the “Jail n Bail of Alia Baroque”) after which they won’t be available again. It was this party is therefore very well attended. This year I was able to go.

It wasn’t even known where in the Opera Faire region the party would take place, til the last minute. So a number of people gathered in what seemed to be a likely spot for a party, to wait.

Time ticked by and everyone chatted until the dreaded Region Restart Gong sounded. So much for reserving a space in the region.

Everyone returned and made their way to the party’s location, which turned out to be a platform floating above the water. Here we saw the skins displayed and many bought and started wearing them.

This year there were also vendors in the neighbouring region as well, which was good from a fundraising perspective.

Exploring Opera

This Region designed by Alia Baroque of Fallen Gods Inc was kept under wraps for some time. The notice that it was “Finished” was several days after the Faire was open. Those with early access saw a rather amusing sign at the region border with the heading “Dont’t Panic!” (Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy) requesting no photos were taken, but also another Sci-Referene “This is Not the Opera you are looking for”. It was worth the wait though! Here are just a few snapshots of the region, but I suggest you go have an explore and experience it for yourself.

Blogger Challenge: My New Shiny – Moon Reflections of Aquarius

I featured a couple of items from Second Moon in a previous post, I couldn’t help wanting to use them again with this dress also of theirs. It’s gorgeously reflective in the right light, such as at the Isle of Aquarius. Second Moon is an old store that’s making a comeback, having originally opened in 2007 but closed in 2013. Now it’s back with some lovely shiny stuff!

Blogger Challenge: I Remember The Rave That Never Happened

It’s tricky to remember something that everyone in attendance will deny it taking place, but as they say “if there’s no pictures, it didn’t happen”. I fortunately do have pictures! This certainly was a challlenge though due to the sheer number of photos I’d taken. But I’d say that’s the sign of a good not-a-party-at-all, if you want to capture every moment.

Waiting….while the Regin rebooted..

The New Girl at Flambois Academy

The new girl has arrived at Flambois Academy of Magic and she’s already causing trouble. She has a black eye to show for it, but her opponent came off worse, meaning they got the blame and punishment for the fight.

She pours over the books in the library when anyone’s around, but the feet go up as promptly as they’ve left. It’s not that she’s a slacker, she just has inherited natural power, there’s just not much the books can teach her. Her problem is theory and lore tests, so she learns as much of that parrot-fashion to scrape through, she was admitted on the strengths of her practical skill after all.

Safe Haven Oasis

Emerging from her forest homeland she enters the Oasis town to find it eerily empty, quiet of the hustle and bustle she might have found here normally. She wanders here and there, the stores still open and full of wares for purchase, but no customers as yet. No doubt they will arrive and shower the merchants with coin in the the near future. She hopes a merchant may show themselves, because she’s in need of somethig to cover up from the brighter sun than the shadows of the forest.

“According to legend, no visitor has ever voluntarily returned to their old life – but is it really possible?” (Quote from Region description)

The Broken Path of Aquarius

The mermaid loved to swim near the city where the path had been damaged. The magic that had held it in place above the water persisted, so the pieces were suspended in mid-fall below the waters surface. The glow of magic reflected so beautifully through the water it made for a lovely swim.

No-one is quite sure any more what caused the path to break, it must have been a considerable impact to be stronger than the magic, but then the path was only intended for the passage of humans and other land-dwellers. The common speculation is that a visiting giant had tried to cross, given the scale of a statue on the shore. Giants had not been seen in these parts of the Fairelands within living memory and the Fey lived very long lives.

The New Guard at House Strife

Standing guard on the street corner she tries to get used to the weight of the swords. She’s trained with them, she’s competent in using them, but wearing them for an extened period of time? Her hips were getting sore. She draws them and gives them a twirl, she’s not meant to draw them unless she’s actually going to use them, but she needs to ease the weight for a moment. How did she end up here? She always thought she’d end up going to the House of Testament, she liked books and history! But oh no, no such luck. When she came of age she took the Test and it said Strife! So she’d done the training, got the House protective tattoos and gear. She really shouldn’t complain, being responsibilbe for the citizens safety was something to be proud of, but why did the swords have to be so damn heavy!

None Faire Items:

A Whirl in White

Before the Faire opened, I created a range of outfits based around the descriptions provided by the World Builders. Some of these I interpreted ok, but others I got totally wrong! Here at Giggenwhirl I interpreted “With hinged wing they flap and propeller they swirl..” as some kind of robots or something steampunk…nope! Come visit and you’ll see what it actually refers to.

Anyway this whimsical little outfit I put together for Woo Hoo Bay seems to fit right in here instead.

The dress HUD allows for a few levels of transparency of the dress and the thong underneath.

There was a note in the box saying “wear as bare as you dare” but this is Fantasy Faire, so I had to stick to the PG options. All the items featured are in the merchants 100% Donation vendors, meaning that all the money from that transaction goes to the American Cancer Society.

Dawn of the Faire – It’s OPEN!

Today is The Day!

Fantasy Faire 2023 is open! After what seemed like an Age the Fairelands have revealed themselves from the Mists once again. Since the opening of the Faire is at Noon (SLT) when the Sun reaches the highest point in the sky, I thought a lovely set of Tattoos called “Sun” seemed very appropriate! This set of tattoos can be worn as Full body or in individual parts, the face having options for both EvoX and Classic heads. I twinned it with the skimpiest thing I could find in the Blogger room to show as much of it as possible.

You can get into the Faire from Fairelands Junction.
(Direct store slurls will be added when availale)
