Elven Sanctuary {Fantasy Faire 2015}

{Taken Here}

With over $5 Million Linden raised so far for Relay for Life, Fantasy Faire has been ah-may-zin! I wish I had all the time in the world, there was certainly a whole lot more I would have loved to show you. I hope that you've all been there by now and had a good time participating in the events, shopping for a good cause and enjoying the incredible scenery.

Each sim is just so well put together, I seriously could take fantasy themed pictures there all day for several months and not get bored and have them all look different! 

So they gave us some blogger challenges and last year I took up a couple. I talked about the first time I heard of cancer. It is definitely something I will never forget. This years challenge, I thought I would tap into a little bit of the  roleplay side of me which is one I used to show a lot more in the beginning of Gia's World and not so much now as I am always feeling rushed between this and real life. SO...this blogger challenge states: Faire Folk- Create a character from the Fairelands. Pick one of the Faire sims as their home, make a look mostly from Faire items, make the character come alive. Take at least one picture of that character in the chosen home sim and blog away!

My character is Daneilea. Born of the Sylvan pride. Princess and heir to the throne. Great Priestess of Arcane Sorcery. Her days are filled with magick, music and love. The love she has for her family, her over protective father and brothers, the people of The Sylvan of Spells and her homeland.

Although I could get on for days about what Daneilea does with her time or how she uses her magick, I still have lots to show and so little time so! Moving forward...
We are on our last days of Fantasy Faire so make sure to pay it a visit soon if you haven't yet!

Okay so yes, it took me a couple of days to finally blog all of this but oooooh my gosh! The amount of things that have taken my breath away at the Fantasy Faire...I just can't put into words. Admittedly, I was in fact overwhelmed. Like, where do you start with so much awesome? 

I love events in SL. But I love them even more when they serve a purpose.  If you're not sure what Fantasy Faire is about, please do inform yourself! Click on the link there and see why this event gives us all such a great reason to go shopping and snag some awesome things.

I was blown away with the Spires of Andolys sim, well all of the sims were lovely! This one has a  fairy tale theme going on. In my picture above, I am playing around in the Lost Boys hideout by DRD! Yep, no zombies or gore this round DRD lovers! It's all fairy tale stuff.

I was able to take a few pictures of some of the other things that caught my eye while there. So many awesome views so, I really do hope that you've went there to not only shop but enjoy the views!

Hey, don't blame me for going on a Fantasy Faire frenzy of blogness. We're given a few days to show you so many things and I just feel...so cheated because I want to show more!

The bloggers (and everyone else who wanted to join) were given challenges to participate in. One of them is called 'Why I Relay'. I wasn't sure if I should/would do this challenge but I think it's something that must be known. The challenge states that it "is for those who do have a personal reason to support Relay for Life events and who would like to share it."

Why do I Relay? Because I am damn mad at Cancer. I remember being in 3rd grade and having a friend named 'Sammy'. He was funny, loud, in your face kinda kid. We had this tire swing that he loved. He'd get on it and wave me over and I would spin him around till we were both pukous. Aaaaand one day Sammy was gone. He was also gone the next day and days and days following that. Nobody ever told us why, he simply wasn't there. Maybe they thought we all would only breifly wonder, then go on with our lives but, I couldn't. With help of my family, I found that Sammy was in the hospital due to complications from his Leukemia. When he found out I was asking for him, he made sure to request 'crispitos' from school and so I would smuggle mine out for him. We did this till my sister had to tell me Sammy wasn't at the hospital anymore...he had passed away. What a shocker for me as a kid. I never forgot him or his round face, most of all his smile. My cousin Benny also had his fight with Cancer and passed away in 2001. A cousin I was just getting to know but he was already loved dearly. The rage inside of me was more than I could express and so I didn't. I boxed it up. My grandfather, another one that passed away due to lung cancer. I never even met him. He died months before I was born. 

I relay for the fallen. I can't bring myself to say that they 'lost' their fight with cancer. I won't. They fought harder than most people ever will. I relay for those that are dealing with it right now. I relay to let Cancer know how damn mad I am at it. How much the world needs to be without it ever invading any of our lives ever again.

Oh and by the way, The Plastik made some amazing skins for Fantasy Faire. Seriously breath taking work. Don't miss them!

Ever since I was a little girl, one of my favorite words was 'Why?'. Yep, I was that annoying kid! I remember reading fairy tales and wondering why the evil Stepmother was evil. Why this, why that. I would end up wanting to play the villain or twist the story line a bit. So I ran into another Boudoir bit of epicness. I so love these props she's making that are wearable! So many times, the issues we have as bloggers or photographers is finding a wonderful place and then you can't rez your photo props. Well this takes care of that issue! You wear it and BAM! 

The original pose when you wear this coffin will put you into a rested position with hands folded over your torso, laying back on the pillow....but I wasn't ready to play the damsel. I brought a few cute friends with me and whipped the pose to my liking!

Boudoir is at the Fantasy Faire! Make sure to snag all of these wearables. <3

Sadly, we're at the end days of our beloved Fantasy Faire. Time seems to just fly by. With sooo many things left to show still and so little time to do it all, I am keeping my words short and leaving you with visuals of these gorgeous things.  I did want to say that it amazes me that so many people join in on this event! Last I heard, we were about 11k away from hitting 4.2 million lindens raised! You guys rock!

Sakide's outfits for Fantasy Faire are gorgeous. I bought this one in two different prints. So sweet and sexy at the same time! This outfit comes with the dress, a collar (not shown) the bracelets and shoes as well, though I opted out of them for my Elf, still adorable though!

Also, Newness at Mystic Canvass! I picked this gorgeous one for my Elf Queen. This one comes in 3 tones to choose from, brow options, Slink hands and Feet Appliers, Tango Appliers, Phat Azz Appliers and WowMeh Applier! You'll definitely want them all!

I Wish You Were Here {Fantasy Faire 2014}

{All Photos taken at Starfall's Twilight Edge}

Do you remember that scene from the movie 'Hook' where Peter was tossed overboard and the mermaids saved him by pressing their lips to his and blowing air in his mouth? Seriously one of my favorite parts to that movie! The mermaids were so breathtakingly beautiful with their bright colored hair, flawless figures and and gentle movements. Anybody that ever thought of the mermaid fantasy had a full on visual there.

So the Fantasy Faire is still going strong and oh if I could blog all day, I STILL wouldn't be able to show you all of the amazing creations featured there! Besides the insane amount of shopping to be had (all for a good cause mind you!)...there are tons of things to do and/or participate in! Dj's are always spinning, there's two hunts going on AND roleplay! Plus...if you are an SL photographer...you don't want to miss the beautiful builds and little corners for you to take allll your pictures.

I had a dear friend step up to play the part of 'Peter' in my little Mermaid Fantasy...and I will say it once again, I so love collabs with friends! I love blogging, it's always an adventure but when you're bringing in another person, it just adds to it all.

Would you have ever guessed that the stud muffin there is also my Kupcake?! Thankfully she made ManCake (my nickname for the male version of Cupcake) because I seem to scare the dudes off! It was great though, we'll have to make another date soon! Thank you so much for letting me play with your awesome pixels!

Kingdom of Elves {Fantasy Faire 2014}

{All photos taken at Fairelands Junction}

I have a love for my Elves. I played a game called 'Neverwinter Nights' many moons ago and almost always, the Elven race was chosen. D&D on PnP? Elf. Rogue. Ranger. (Fighter added to that if I wanted the elite build haha) Did I just get too nerdy for you?
There's something about their elegance, beauty, dexterity. So I thought I would bring a nice little elf warrior to grace my blog.

*The small man, known as a traveling bard, let his sack fall on the ground next to the warm crackling fire. Night had fallen, another town reached and he simply wanted to allow his eyelids to fall and melt into the log bench that looked like a wonderfully soft place after such a long journey. No such thing. You see, when a bard arrives in any town, word travels fast and the townsfolk are curious as to what was encountered during his travels. A dragon? A dragon slaying?! Fights of heroes? Spotting villains?! The townsfolk quickly surrounded him and the man knew and said to them, "Oi! If I plan on gettin' me rest, I 'spose I better tell you me tales!" The townsfolk laughed softly but nodded and smiled at each other and at him. All seated on the benches or the ground around the fire, a mug of ale in most hands waiting for the small man to get in place in the center of them all, which he did. He unstrapped his Lute from his back, rested his foot on a rock and strummed it, immediately entrancing his listeners..and then he began his tale in a deep husky voice, one that would never let a person around him ever forget it....

"Small but fierce she is as the protector of the Fairelands. Not a single sound is heard when she moves. Not a brush of her step... against the ground, not the pull of her bow as she draws back. The only thing one might hear is the soft whistle of the wind right before her arrow reaches it's destination. Hopefully that destination isn't you! *the strumming of the lute quickens* With her arms she is quick, on her toes she is quicker...and stories have been told of her ability to shoot an arrow through ones heart even if her hands were bound still she makes no sound and yer fate has been sealed. *the tunes softens again back to it's melodic tone* So my friends I say, when you reach the Fairelands, make it known when you approach. Stow away your weapons, be a friend and not foe, less you're wanting your last caress to be from the arrow of her long bow! *dramatic final strum*"

Back soon my luffs!

Hopefully by now you all know Fantasy Faire is LIVE! I am going to try my best to feature things that I loved (Which would be all but, time and all!) From the sims setup to the designer creativity, I was blown away! With early blogger access, I didn't know if I wanted to shop or just look! Managing both was a challenge but I did it! 

This is the 6th year of Fantasy Faire, one of the most anticipated events! You all know I shop like a pro but...when I have a reason to spend my monies for something, it makes it even better! Fantasy Faire supports the American Cancer Society's vision of a world without cancer and by shopping here, you're supporting it too! There are specific vendors showing you that if you buy that specific item, the proceeds are going towards American Cancer Society's Relay for Life Fundraising. It's just an all around good feeling to do something for others. Maybe you are all too familiar with Cancer, maybe you're not...but even in doing something small, you're still doing -something-., and something is better than nothing. Plus, you're getting to enjoy some AWESOME creations by some of the best creators in Second Life! 

Navigating the sims might seem kind of mind boggling but it's actually quite easy! There are teleporters all around and even if you get lost, enjoy your time enjoying the sights. A lot of work was put into the setup and you can tell.

My lovely dress was hiding my feet but this is what I had on them.

Be back soon with SOOO many more goodies!
