Mixing & matching

With so many hunts and fairs around at the moment it's to know where to go first! but I'll start with the mix & match hunt, and the pose fair as those two have some really amazing items!

Firstly I want to get really gushy about this outfit from 22769  which a hunt item at the  The mix & Match hunt These guys make the most incredible skirts, I'm sure you'll all agree that you've had a skirt you love, which looks fabulous when stood static , then when the ao kicks in or you walk, fleshy parts always appear! or you have a rigid skirt that moves in odd ways when you do . You get used to that because that how things work in SL...well NO MORE! These skirts are designed in such a way that they never loose their intended shape, yet move fluidly  with you, and believe me I've tested that to the max leaping around just to see! that's pretty incredible for a non flexy skirt if you ask me!

Next is a few items at the Pose Fair. Well in my pic i'm using a cute little prop from HelaMiyo. It's a colour changeable shaded box which also has a pose stand. Natty little tools for making pics, as I've only just discovered. Animations and tools of this type are often overlooked, yet they're so important. It's an amazing fair so go along and have some fun trying a few out!

Fayette

Fayette was too curious even for a fairy. Wanting to see more of the world than just the forests and meadows she and the other fairies called home. First she enjoyed to see all the new places but after having spend some time in the big city she started to feel weak and sick. Illness was nothing she knew and her human friends told her that she only would have to rest. But it did not help at all. Fayette decided to fight against the illness and forced herself to go to work but this also was not the right way to deal with her problems. Deep in her mind she knew that she simply was at the wrong place, and that it was the city which made her sick but it was hard for her to admit that she needed the nature she had been used to. She prefered to become weaker every day to admiting that she had made a wrong desicion. One day when she was stumbling home she was so weak that she fell while walking. When standing up again she saw the unicorn.

The white animal forced her to realize what she tried to hide so long from herself. Fayette needed to leave the city as fast as possible. She was at the wrong place and it was the same with the unicorn. The fairy did not even wonder why the unicorn was in the town, she simply obeyed when the unicorn gestured her to crawl onto its back. Feeling the silky fur under her fingers, which were rough because of her work as waitress, made her immediately feel better. She wanted to jump down to stay a bit longer in the city but the unicorn started to run so fast that she would have hurt herself if she would have jumped off, so she stayed on its back.

The unicorn ran for a long time. After a while it started to walk in a fast but calm way. Fayette fell asleep. Her wings started to glow lightly again and her skin which had been nearly grey in the city looked more healthy. After an other day on the back of the unicorn they reached a huge forest. The unicorn brought the fairy into the heart of it and left her there. Fayette was able to feel the other fairies around her. In the evening they danced together.

The unicorn and the fairy dress are two amazing items. They are both available at the two faires which start this weekend.
The fairy dress has the name Whish and comes from Babelfish Designs. The set included the wings and the shoes. Some very well made textures have been used to create it. At the top it has some flowertextures and the skirt has white leaves on its upper part. Of course the dress is not plain white, because of the used shades of grey it looks like a dress in reality look. Babel Fish Designs take part at the fantasy faire. They have their store on the Enchanted Mysts Sim. Muriella Munro the designer of the dress also founded a group which informs about new fantasy items: United Fantasy Merchants.
I fell desperatly for the unicorn from Studio Sidhe when seeing it on the Pose Faire. It is so wellmade and so different. The unicorn comes with 5 inbuilt poses and not only the avatar who is sitting on it changes its position with the poses the unicorn changes as well. It could sit on the ground with an avatar nuzzling at it or stand in four different ways. It is only sold at the posefaire and the fantasy faire at the moment.

Dress: ##<<245 Whish BF-Design (400$ sold at the Fantasy Faire and the BF-Design Mainstore)
Unicorn: :+:SS:+: Unicorn Pose Prop (600$ sold at the Posefaire and the Fantasy Faire)

Fantasy Faire 2011

A princess dreaming. She has nearly everything she needs, her beauty is stunning and her closet is well filled. But her friend the woodnymph is ill and needs help. So she is glad when hearing about a faire which is held to help those who have the same illness as the woodnymph.

The Fantasy Faire 2011 is going to place from April 2nd to 10th. It is an amazing faire which is held to raise money for Relay for Life. Having spend much time there last year I would describe the faire as a family meeting. There is normaly always something happening. DJs entertain the crowd, live bands perform and last year even a second life theatergroup gave a show on the mainstage. So it will be surely also that great this year.

The participating creators donate items which are sold in special donation vendors. All the money from those goes to Relay for Life. And even more special items are sold in auctions. The purple gown on the pictures is one of those items. It has been created by Ezura and will be sold only one time. That means the lucky one who wins the auction will be the only person on the grid who has this gown (I will give the dress back to Ezura I only had it to take pictures of it).
The gown is purple - the colour of relay - and is princesslike and stunning. The headdress, the neckdress and the top of the skirt look all like flowers. At the top of the gloves and the top are some silver decorations and the skirt is covered with intresting textures. When the one who wears the dress moves the skirt floats around her. Ezura created the dress on a way which includes lingerie. So it comes with stockings and when taking off the skirt it looks quite sexy. The gown is sold in the silent auction so it is always seeable how high the highest bid is and if you want to have the gown you could simply bid higher. The auction vendors are placed at the central sim of the fantasy faire.

[silk on a leash]

We'll tie him to a post
they said
He is dangerous and will
tear you apart
with diamantine claws
Ripping out your heart for
a single moment of joy

We'll tame him right away
they said
Take away his
ferocity
the talons, the tail and ears
for he'll use them against us
In our brave new world

Where instincts have
no meaning
And individuality is not
required
I wanted to believe their words
their whispered allegations
considered the truth


Luna Jubilee's blogger challenge - Week 21: White


But every night
he sneaked into my dreams
on silvery paws
with a purr
and his soft whiskers all over
my face

I can still feel his silky fur
underneath my fingertips.

Button me up

Wow do I adore this outfit! It takes so much from the regency period, with this amazing  Bonaparte jacket from A:S:S and the flora boots from Lassitude & Ennui yet so wonderfully modern at the same time.  Well at least  least 200 years ago I wouldn't have had to worry about getting through customs wearing all these buttons would I? ...sorry I think some random stuff at times. Anyway can you believe this jacket is only L$90 ?! mental!

The boots have been made for the forthcoming fantasy faire, and come in every colour imaginable! they have been designed for with a roleplay feel for either a victorian lady or a doll feel...very imaginative, however they're not restricted to this, as I intend to wear them with a nice pair of jean next!

A short story

Shorts shorts shorts! I've blogged a few pairs of shorts recently, and I'm a shorts kind of girl. I love how they can be causal or smart, and the varying degree of lengths, from capri style pants to hotpants, bit today i'm wearing a classic pair of denim shorts which are new from Vero Modero, they come with the belt so you can dress them up or dress them down, and you know how I love items that can be worn in  a variety of styles.

Oh Oh and I wanted to say how I 'm glad I rediscovered Sole Sisters and dollarbie options. If you don't already know Sole Sisters have all the white shoes/boots at L$1, which I think is a quirky and clever marketing ploy, so of course I was thrilled to pick up this cute little shoes ..oh and a few other pairs too.
