I went to Fantasy Faire and all I got was these fairy wings. Now What? pt2

In yesterday's blog I made a few suggestions for those who would like to explore a fantasy lifestyle, but who might not know where to start.

Fantasy Faire will close at Midnight May 13, so ignore all the signage that lists the closing day as May 10. Since we officially have 3 more days to explore and shop, I'm continuing my general overview of what is available for new Fantasy folk @ Fantasy Faire.

[Faery, Fairy, Elves, Pixies, Seelie and Unseelie Courts... etc., etc., etc.]

Fae folk can be dark, light, or neutral and can be beautifully ugly or remarkably beautiful. They aren't ruled by the natural laws that affect humans. Fairies wear wings; Elves do not. They may wear clothing similar to human garb or they can dress in flowers, cobwebs, feathers or other natural materials. The only limits to creating a Fae persona are your imagination and wallet.

[Historic Role Play, Prehistoric, Egyptian, Roman, Victorian, Steam Punk]

If a particular time period calls to you, try historical RP. Some groups are easy-going and welcoming to anyone who shows an interest. Others prefer structured interactions based on research about the particular time period or country. If someone in the group asks for your back story and starts grading you on the historical accuracy of your clothing or hairdo, you've found a serious RPer. (...and btw, yes, I know Isis wouldn't wear Ra's headpiece!)

Skin ~ enLight SKY Lama *
Outfit ~ ARKONA Memento Isis Dress *
Jewelry ~ Slavia God Ra Crown *
Tattoo ~ Find the Fish Sahu Egyptian Tattoo *

[Dinkies, Tinies, Furries, 'Taurs and various other animals, critters or configurations...] 

Dinkies and Tinies are very popular and you see a lot of them at Fantasy Faire. Most are kitties or rabbits, but other types are available and mods for all sorts of body changes are available. They have their own regions year around and have a fully developed culture complete with their own events, language and dietary specialties.

The list of possible Fantasy personas is literally endless, and we don't judge, so go forth shrink, grow, add more legs, wings, armor or fur, discover your inner fantasy persona and HAVE FUN!

I went to Fantasy Faire and all I got was these fairy wings. Now what? pt1

 

***Breaking News ~ Thanks to the generosity of Linden Labs, 

Fantasy Faire has been extended till Midnight May 13! 

Lots of time to shop, quest and explore! ***

How does one go about creating a fantasy persona? Fantasy Faire is a good place to explore lifestyles you may have been curious about. 

 

Look in the Region Shopping List or visit different Fantasy Faire Regions to see what resonates with you. FF shops are the best of the best and will let you try a variety of looks while supporting Relay for Life.

Each fantasy lifestyle has its own culture and depth of emersion. Involvement may range from wearing a pair of wings with normal clothing and calling oneself a fairy to deeply involved and life-changing Role Play. The one thing all fantasy personas have in common is that they aren't common.

Ask questions. There's nothing wrong with IMing someone and asking about their look. Most will be happy to give you links or tell you about activities in their particular lifestyle. If they blow you off, ask somebody else. As always in SL, people are on their own journeys and may not have time to help you, but a lot will be thrilled that you asked them.

Fantasy Faire ~ Untamed Ink

A Poem from UNTAMED INK

(A nicely illustrated version is available 

in special kiosks in the region 

example shown in the picture below)

In a town drawn in black and white,

every word was law, every wrong made right.

If it wasn’t printed, it did not exist.

Truth was whatever he chose to twist.

He owned the ink.

He owned the page.

He caged the world in a paper cage,

smiling streets in crooked line,

every soul by his design.

He grew bored of his perfect game,

so he called a thing with no true name,

asked for power, asked for more,

asked to own the world he tore.

The Devil smiled. No deal was made.

It simply opened what he’d caged.

From below, where silence slept,

something stirred the town had kept.

Great arms of ink dragged through the street,

painting truth where lies would meet.

You can’t print what won’t obey.

Ink remembers anyway.

I visited Untamed Ink during the Jail & Bail 

for Stabitha Nightwish

and a clowder of the Basement Kittehs.

 
To say it was "controlled chaos" is being generous,

but everybody seemed to be having a good time 

and were donating either to keep the miscreants

locked up or to let them go.

 

All donations went to Relay for Life, so it was a win for all concerned.

Fantasy Faire ~ Too Many Little Ships

• In the midst of all the fun and excitement of Fantasy Faire, I took a moment to light a memorial candle for my son who lost his battle with the Unweaver a year ago today. He fought bravely and with determination for far longer than anyone thought possible and was content when it was time to go.  

• Fantasy Faire gives those struggling with cancer in SL a place to temporarily forget the pain, for the caregivers to catch their breath and for those who mourn to do so openly while feeling the support of others who truly understand. 

• Blessings on all those who participate in Relay for Life. Someday there will be a cure and the little ships will find a harbor. Till that day comes, we'll keep fighting!

Fantasy Faire ~ Heian + Aii's Spirit Fox

• HEIAN is a fantasy region inspired by the spirit and worldview of Japan’s Heian period. In this era, people did not see the visible and unseen worlds as strictly separated. Instead, unseen presences were felt close to everyday life. 

• Within HEIAN, oni and yōkai appear throughout the world. They are not portrayed as monsters, but as forms shaped by human emotions—uncertainty, desire, hesitation, anger—that have taken on visible presence. In classical tales, these beings are not separate from humanity, but exist alongside it, reflecting inner states rather than external threats.

• In Oriental mythology, fox spirits (狐狸精, huli jing) are believed to be intelligent foxes that gain magical powers as they grow older. According to traditional belief, a fox can live for hundreds of years, eventually acquiring the ability to transform into human form. These spirits can be malevolent, benevolent, or neutral and are often associated with mystery, cunning, and otherworldly allure.

• The fox’s ability to transform represents flexibility, cunning, and the idea that appearances can be deceiving. Fox spirits are often associated with feminine energy (yin), seduction, and mystical powers. The number of tails signify their expanded knowledge and magical prowess, with 9 tails being the ultimate.
• In Buddhist and Taoist traditions, fox spirits sometimes act as intermediaries between humans and deities or as embodiments of karmic or cosmic forces.

• Aii's shop in Fantasy Faire introduces their newest creation, Spirit Fox * for Legacy F and Reborn with huge huds of color and texture options. Claws, Ears, Tail, Geta and the Body Set are available separately or all together in a Fatpack. I'm wearing tattoos I already had (I have a long history of being a Kitsune) but check out the tattoos available in the Aerth part of the same shop. Demos for everything @ both the Fantasy Faire Shop and the MAIN STORE.
• Skin is PAX from enLight *. A variety of colors including the latest fantasy colors are available with 100% donation going to RFL. 
• Floro Tien Parasol comes with hold animation for either hand [13 colors + 8 Phoenix patterns in the hud] *

Fantasy Faire ~ Ebonfall Aetherium

• Ah, the studies of magic… The delicate skills of aetherweaving, conjuration, transfiguration and more. Bending the very essence of the world to mend or maim. If you seek such knowledge there is no better place than the Aetherium. Enjoy your visit but be prepared; it's dark and the ways twist back on themselves. Enter with a light heart or at least a lighted lantern!

• “Some secrets protect themselves and there are no secrets as well protected as those kept by the Order. That island is its own fortress and if they don’t want you there? You won’t get in. If by some fluke you do? Well… you won’t get back out.”
