Fantasy Faire ~ Memories in Harmonious Glade


  • Bright memories sparked by bits of music abound in the Harmonious Glade region. One can see and hear them everywhere.


  • Harmonious Glade reminds us that loved ones are with us always even if unseen. Elven music and the hint of voices bring comfort and harmony to the troubled spirit.

  • The Harmonious Glade Hunt sponsored by Belle Epoque and Harshlands is an easy way to add to your Faire memories. You’re looking for 10 gold-banded glowing blue orbs hidden in plain sight. No hints are necessary, assuming you look at just the right angle. Learn more about Fantasy Faire Region Hunts HERE.

Fantasy Faire ~ "Other Activities"


  • If you've been to Fantasy Faire and have only shopped or done the hunts, you've missed at least half the fun!


  • There are hundreds of classes, performances, spontaneous dances and general bits of mayhem going on all over the Faire! You don't have to be a member of any particular group to attend. You can find out about many of them by checking HERE. Sometimes you just have to be at the right place at the right time.


  • The goal of all these activities is to enhance your SL experience and, of course, to raise donations for the American Cancer Society.


  • Sunday's silliness was a Flash Mob that took place in the Holi region. Okay, it was included on the schedule of events, so wasn't really a flash mob, but a lot of folks who attended hadn't seen it listed and just showed up to see what was happening.


  • What was happening was that about 83 avatars of various shapes and sizes were celebrating life by dancing and setting off color bombs while wearing their most colorful looks and sharing dance accessories.


  • It was fun, silly and made everybody who attended feel good. That's one of the best parts of living in Second Life and unfortunately, we all forget that occasionally because we're so caught up in doing really stressful things like building, selling, shopping and letting the negative vibes get to us.


  • Thank you to whoever decided to have a belly dancing party in Holi. It was FUN!!!

Fantasy Faire ~ Mire of Whispers


  • This mystic region is redolent of old magic. Built in the midst of a bogland, the buildings are stone decorated with strange glyphs and knotwork. To me, the shops feel like burial cairns, so you know they're full of secret treasures!


  • Besides the cairns, there are standing stones and a mystical well that is rumored to be a gateway to the underworld. Though the whispering well gave me many bits of arcane wisdom, I didn't find my way to the underworld, so I guess I'll just take the legend with a grain of salt.


  • I danced to the moon at Mire of Whispers and felt the powers invoked. The skin and outfit I'm showing are from Petrichor and are available @ the anchor shop next to the landing point.

Fantasy Faire ~ Scrunkle Gultch

  • Everybody wants to be a cat! If you are a SL cat of any size or even if you just like cats, you'll enjoy visiting Scrunkle Gultch at Fantasy Faire 2025.
  • The SCRUNKLE GULCH region is a feline's favorite fantasy with cardboard buildings, cat walks, cat trees to climb, milk fountains and fish everywhere. 
  • Dinkie wear of all styles is available as well as vehicles, furniture and pets for the busy Dinkie lifestyle. (BTW, unscripted Dinkie stuff like houses and decorative items work for Tinies as well.) Try DEMOS when available. 

Dinkie stuff ~ I'm wearing my standard purple Sealpoint Dinkie body.  If you don't already have a Dinkie, you can get one HERE.

Fantasy Faire ~ The Golden Hour Region and the Fairechylde


  • The Golden Hour is the region where I spend most of my time during Fantasy Faire. There are quiet spots like Hugh's Cave for literature events (top 2 pictures)...


       ... and there is the FAIRECHYLDE!


  • The Fairechylde is a flying party ship which provides almost continuous entertainment during Fantasy Faire.
  • When you have shopped till you're ready to drop, visit the Fairechylde to recharge your batteries and have a great time! 
  • The DJs and hosts all donate their time and talents to raise funds for Relay for Life and they do a heck of a job!

  • Occasionally I get to host for the DJs. All genres of music are played and it can be fun, crazy, mellow, romantic, energizing, and thought provoking depending on the DJ's style and those in attendance. It is NEVER boring! 
  • Check the DJ party schedule HERE

Fantasy Faire ~ Holi


  • One thing I enjoy most about Fantasy Faire is the opportunity to learn about the mythology and folklore of other cultures.
  • Today's Fantasy Faire blog brings us to the Holi region sponsored by Fallen Gods and designed by Alia Baroque, one of Fantasy Faire's most experienced world builders. The region is a mix of Hindu Temple Architecture and Nagara style buildings. Ancient carved friezes cover the walls and giant statues abound.


  • Holi is a major Hindu festival celebrated as the Festival of Colours, Love, Equality and Spring. It celebrates the eternal love of the deities Radha and Krishna. Colorful explosions mark the hour in Holi and you can even pick up a GIFT package of puffy colors at the Holi Landing Point to help spread the cheer.


  • Holi provided the perfect setting to highlight the amazing new Naga body mod from Aii
  • In mythology, a Naga is a serpentine, semi-divine being, often depicted as half-human and half-serpent, found in Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism. They are considered guardians of treasure, keepers of magic, and can be both beneficial and dangerous. Nagas are frequently associated with water and rain and are often depicted in art and literature. Nagas are not demons, they are common to Hindu/Buddhist scripture and commonly thought to be dragon or serpent-like.
  • You'll find Sunscale Naga @ the Aii Shop in Galarie Gaillard, sponsored by [Contraption]. 
  • I'm also wearing the Sunscale Naga Tattoos from Aerth in the same Shop.


  • The unisex Sunscale Naga Tail fits Legacy M and Athletic, Legacy F, Ebody Reborn, Waifu and Vtech bodies. It includes a hud with dozens of PBR textures and you can always modify the preset colors with the hud as well.
  • The tail is controlled by an internal AO that moves the tail independently of the upper body. When walking, the AO provides a very distinctive slither movement. When standing still, the tail moves realistically, wrapping itself around your lower body and curling and uncurling.
