Fantasy Faire 2014 - The Wind In Her Hair

Míwil Delimbiyra adored flying. She could never understand her elven brothers and sisters who always opted for a much more traditional way of transportation... walking on the ground. Maybe because they were actually her half-brothers and half-sisters, Míwil's mother being a fairy, a light, fragile, fluttering creature who couldn't stand the dark woods and one day simply disappeared? Míwil mourned her mother for years... then, one day, she discovered the beauty of flying. The wind in her hair... the feeling of freedom. "Thank you, Mother..." - she thought and soared up in the cool night air, towards the full moon and the stars.

Dress: "Evelyn" in Aqua by Les Encantades. Anouk Haiku and her brand, Les Encantades, are another new discovery at the Fantasy Faire. When I first arrived to her shop I couldn't believe my eyes: the gowns and outfits were beautiful, available in lovely gem colours with very pretty detailing, and the prices were more than reasonable... so I started shopping with a certain frenzy, I must say. :) The gown I'm showing you here is available in the main shop only, but "Les Encantades" has some beautiful RLF donation items in one of the cheerful little huts at Wiggenstead Mooring - pay a visit there, and pick up either the "Giulietta" gown in Ruby, or "Edda" in Summer, in order to donate to RLF (200 L$ each).

Necklace and tiara: "Gilgalad" by Bliensen + Mai Tai - available at their shop at The Faery Court (349 L$ each, with a colour change HUD). To me, Bliensen + Mai Tai was "the shop with the cute pug in their logo" ...until now, when I discovered the delicate and beautiful fantasy jewellery offered by Plurabelle Laszlo at the Faire. Plurabelle, thank you for the goodies, you've stunned me!

Skin: The Plastik - Astrali "Io" by The Plastik, blogged here.

Ears: "Young Elven Ears" by 22769 - a goodie from last year's Fantasy Faire.

Tattoo: "Tribalien Tattoo" in Minimal by LaNoirSoleil - available in their shop at Wiggenstead Mooring during the Fantasy Faire (74 L$).

Antlers: "Springtime Antlers" by LaNoirSoleil - these flowery antlers (that come together with a HUD that allows you to adjust the colour of the antlers, the beads and the flowers as well) will be available soon at a new event called "Kensington Gardens", where LaNoirSoleil will be one of the three guest designers. The event opened on May 7th. I know the FF is keeping you busy, but yet... hop over there for a short visit,

Hair: "Roosje" in Light Brown by Mina Hair - this hair fatpack is a special gift from the currently running Enchantment event. In order to get it you have to purchase one item from the participating designers, then visit the other shops to have your special gift card stamped... for the hows and whys, please visit the event homepage where you find the accurate and detailed instructions. Thank you for your understanding. :)

Eyes: Dragon Eyes "Blue Shards" by Sterling Artistry (85 L$).

Pose: Fantasy Pose 44 by Musa, available in The Sanctum at the Fantasy Faire (30 L$ for a single pose, and 200 L$ for a fatpack of 10 poses).

Twisted Spring 2014

Twilight was the time for her magic. The day to plan, dusk to summon, all night for work and fun. Chalk smeared across stone, curls and crosses, the path the spirits would walk. Candles would light their way, alcohol and tobacco would tempt them, urging them from their rest. Shafts of light dappled by tree and stained glass moved across the floor. Behind her, the mirrored surface of the looking glass shifted. As her arms raised in greeting, in welcome to those who may come, so did arms reaching through from the other side, the orb held in their feather light touch began to spin...

In the darkness of the hall, magic changed, and so would she. With the turning of the earth, the moon rose, green and pale. Heavy pages of the ancient book curled, sliding across each other with ease as she read the arcane text, eyes shining brighter than candle flames. Arms still outstretched in welcome, what would come was twisted, and dark. It would be brought out into the light. She was not the only one calling. There were many out there searching in the darkness, searching for the darkness. Some would be lucky enough to find it and when they did, it would change them forever. Twisted is here again!!!

Running throughout March - 104 stores to hunt in for the spinning hellish cube, before you reach the mindbending endgame. All prizes are free - provided by the twisted merchants - but you are going to have to work for them. This isn't known as the hardest hunt in Second Life for nothing. My best advice - join the group, it's the only place to get any hints!

The Twisted Hunt 2014 Spring - Magick In The Make

She knew today would be the ideal day to do some magick. Already the dreams had been promising. Her protecting spirit, a mighty golden dragon, had visited her the night before. She knew her powers would soon be pouring out and flowing free. She gently moved her fingers, tentatively, and she felt the familiar tingle under her skin. Magick was accumulating in her, slowly surging, swirling, waiting to be released. Suddenly she noticed the dim light taking shape in her palms. Oh yes... an Orb of Power... she hadn't summoned one for ages. But today was the day to do some magick. She was slowly rolling the blob of energy around in her palms and she was quietly smiling.

It is Spring. Do you know how I know? Because the Spring edition of the Twisted Hunt has started today! This year the theme is "Magick", and the creators, whose shops I had the time to visit, have lived up to the expectations quite marvellously. There are more than a hundred participants in the hunt, so you must be patient if you want to collect all the gifts... and more so because there's a good reason why The Twisted Hunt is called "twisted"... so patience, fellow hunters, and good luck!
