Why I Relay

On May 4, 2024 By Tamarind SilverfallIn Event, FantasyLeave a comment

One single ordinary person can’t do much to help rid the world of Cancer, but together we are an amazing force for good, and we have FUN doing this!

I started blogging for Fantasy Faire in 2015 after attending for a few years. The community that gathers and gives their talent and their time for this event really reaffirms my faith in people! Like most folks, Cancer has directly affected my life. I have lost both my Mother and my Father-In-Law to cancer. Two family members have beat it, two dear friends are fighting it now, one for the THIRD time. Doing Relay for Life makes me feel like I can actually do something positive against this disease that robs us of so much.

Fantasy Faire benefits Relay For Life, The American Cancer Society, and we are not just some little thing, Fantasy Faire was 12th in the nation for donations last year, a record we are looking to beat this year. Let’s kick Cancer’s butt!

Fantasy Faire is also a lot of FUN! Besides the shopping, and the beautiful region designs by creative and talented people, there are fun things to do, scheduled and unscheduled.

The Night Theater at a special unscheduled show (join the Fantasy Faire Friends group to keep in the know!)

Dancing On The Fairchylde — Scheduled DJ parties on the Fairechylde ship, I am over there at some point every day, it’s a great stress reliever and a way to catch up with friends!

The Jail & Bail Of Alia Baroque, one of many Jail and Bails, but with this one, if you donate a certain amount, you get an exclusive skin by Fallen Gods. And AFTER this Jail & Bail…..

Magic Bus 2024 — The Magic Bus! Alia Baroque rezzes the bus after the Jail and Bail ( after turning into a sleep deprived tiny penguin), and it is this sleep deprived penguin that takes the lucky few who jump on the bus on a crazy ride above and through the Fairelands!

Anything Can Happen On The Magic Bus — Anything can happen on The Magic Bus and often does!

This is just a small taste of the great times you can have while doing good in the world. Join us at Fantasy Faire until May 7th this year, and be sure to come back next year!

Bodach

I took my photos at The Last Stop region, sponsored and designed by Teegle. It is a once busy subway station and tracks now reclaimed by the ocean. It doesn’t really suggest any horrific post-apoc world at all, just the advance of time and the blurring of the lines between this world and the next. It is breathtakingly beautiful and a great place to take underwater photos. 🙂 All of the shops are under LL water, with fish and everything, I love it! My green friend here is Bodach the Kelpie by Teegle. I chose him over the Hippocampus because of his slightly wicked grin and the spirited slightly gothic look of him. He is ridden or led just like all the other Teegle horses, except underwater, and yes you can sit on him in a mermaid tail! Here’s your taxi for Teegle on the Last Stop region at Fantasy Faire . I am wearing the [Auro] Te Moana Ria tail texture for the aii Riptide tail from the Yin and Yang fatpack. I am obviously wearing the light one, although it looks all white, on closer inspection the scales shimmer with delicate color just like real fish scales. Here’s your taxi to [Auro} Te Moana on the Plankbarrow Harbor region at Fantasy Faire . [Floro] x KREEP did the Phyco Tendrils and tintable gills, here’s your taxi to [Floro} on the Plankbarrow Harbor region at Fantasy Faire

Eternal Bliss

I took my photo on the vibrant and beautiful Flamenca region, designed by Ketsui Naidoo and Revna Macabre, sponsored by En Pointe & Seydr. Flamenca is a vibrantly colored Spanish town in eternal celebration. The residents are inhabitants of eternity with the skeletal features of those long gone. Flamenca is a celebration of past, present, future…forever.

I took this photo at The Duskfall Court at Fantasy Faire, a region I have come back to again and again. Sponsored by Quills & Curiosities and Cryptid, it is a beautiful, mysterious, dark and magical “unseelie” fae region. (Unseelie are the not so nice fairies!) The region was designed by Dacien & Marcel Blackwood, Crow, and Lemony Nova. It has a very large area opposite all the shops that is just beautiful scenery and a great place for photos or just unwinding amid the magic in the air, I love it! It’s one of my favorite places at Fantasy Faire this year. 🙂 The Duskfall Court

Moonlight at The Duskfall Court — I HAD to add another picture, I am drawn to this place.

I am wearing an amazing outfit called Nettle Fae from GHOSTED. It is comprised of fitted mesh parts and body tattoos and is an amazing and very different costume! It has versions for male and female bodies, and a Texture HUD. I chose the “Jungle” color from the HUD, all purples and greens. As accents I have added Petrichor’s Thorian Outfit, a roses & vines outfit with a texture HUD can be worn alone or in combination with other things. It has a very convenient “Show/Hide HUD so you can turn off the parts that don’t fit with your costume. In this picture I have the feet turned off because I am not wearing human feet. 🙂 I am holding a butterfly from The Fluttery Friends Butterflies package from Quills & Curiosities. There is one with a pose for your finger in several colors, and others you can attach anywhere also in several colors.

I am also wearing the Evelyn Skin from Someone, the Mariana Kini body suit from Petrichor, and my eyes are Ruhin Eyes by .lovelysweet. All were purchased at the main stores. 🙂

Wyvern Rider

On April 22, 2024 By Tamarind SilverfallIn Event, Fantasy, RoleplayLeave a comment

I just LOVE any kind of dragon or in this case Wyvern! Over the years I have had quite a few rideables and I have to say Ecne’s Wyvern Mount by Positive Wavelength tops the list! It is very easy to ride, I attached it so there was no land impact in Fantasy Faire, you can also rez and then mount. It has a HUD with 3 dances, 3 rider size adjustments, Roar, Fire, and bite along with mount/dismount. Flying by ourselves is so ordinary for all of us in Second Life, but for some reason, adding a Wyvern mount pulls you into the experience so completely! I LOVE this thing, can you tell? There is a selection of skins available as well!

Wyldeia

The wait is over! Fantasy Faire is open, and what an amazing delight it is! There are 20 regions this year, 16 of them are for shopping! 🙂 My photo was taken at The Darkfall Court, a shopping sim with a touch of mysterious darkness, I love it!

Goodies from Fantasy Faire on me:

UNA– Federica top and skirt shown here on the Reborn body. I bought the fatpack because I couldn’t decide on a color, PLUS this is an RFL ( Relay For Life ) item. RFL items are sold in specially marked kiosks (every store has at least 2) and ALL the money collected from these kiosks goes 100% to The American Cancer Society – Relay For Life.

Petrichor– Wyldeia skin. This color is also an RFL item. It feels so good to buy pretty things knowing I’m helping to find a cure for Cancer! The horns-headpiece I am wearing is the Farys headpiece, also by Petrichor. Not sure if these are in her Fantasy Faire shop, I had them in my inventory already, but I’m sure they are in the main store. 🙂 Enjoy Fantasy Faire!
