Renaissance Woman

A Renaissance Lady would never ride western style, but I couldn't resist taking a ride on one of the mounts available for use at the SL Renaissance Festival. 

Just click the vendor and sit, turn off your AO and away you go on anything from a Shetland pony to a warhorse. When you finish your ride detach the horse and it disappears. You don't even have to worry about returning it to the stable.

• This look from Ari Pari is listed as a peasant dress, but by adding the jewelry available in the Ari Pari gachas, it is elevated to an outfit that would have been worn by a well to do merchant or minor noblewoman. In Elizabethan England, sumptuary laws attempted to restrict the sumptuousness of dress in order to curb extravagance, protect fortunes, and make clear the necessary and appropriate distinctions between levels of society.

SL Renaissance Festival ~ Joust

The banter was playful. These opponents had obviously faced each other many times and knew the other's strengths and weaknesses well. The taunts were mild and the wager was that the loser would buy the mead.

The combatants took their places and the countdown began 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 JOUST! 

The horses thunder down the tilt and lance tips meet metal. It's all over in a matter of seconds, so don't blink! In the case of a tie, the riders return to the ends of the yard and continue to battle till a clear winner is declared.

This is jousting at SL Renaissance Festival in the Medieval Games Alliance arena. 

Combat will take place throughout the event. Check the SCHEDULE for times.  

Who knows? With a little luck and lots of practice, this year's audience member could be next year's champion. Everybody has to start somewhere!

Held on 4 beautifully landscaped regions, the SL Renaissance Festival offers shopping with 40 excellent merchants, gachas, 70 hours of Entertainment, Tournaments, Jousting, Archery, RP classes and Interactive fun till October 4.
Kiosks throughout the event allow you to contribute to the American Cancer Society as they make Strides Against Breast Cancer.

Private Island

Welcome to Brando Island at Fantasy Gay Pride 2020. This region built on Susyn's Sparkling Sea is a tribute to a RL luxury resort in French Polynesia. There are a number of islands in the archipelago, each featuring something to be found at the real resort. Pictures here were taken at the Cabins and the Bird Sanctuary.

My resort wear has to be comfortable while looking sexy and pulled together. No sequins or trailing silks for me! I want to be able to go out in the rowboats and hike around the islands without having to worry about my clothing.

• Giulia Design's MirJana outfit * from the September collection @ Designer Showcase 

• Yseult Heels* in red from Lindy Shoes, also to be found @ Designer Showcase  
• Chalthara Jewelry ** from a Drow themed gacha at Semi-Precious for the Twisted Hunt

Enjoy interactive displays, stage shows, live music and lots of fun on two regions. 

There's an event-wide Hunt and lots of photo ops. Check it out!

Come to the Faire

Looking for something completely different from the usual SL music scene? May I suggest a small but wonderful event that one of my dear friends has labored half the year to bring to fruition?
Monday 2:30-4:00 and Thursday 7-8:30pm SLT you are invited to visit Chipping over Rosemont.

Located in a set with replicas of actual buildings from the Northern California Renaissance Pleasure Faire at Black Point California circa the early 70s, DJ Tamlorn Carterhaugh Wood has a massive collection of Renaissance music. Come for music and good company

Monday's event will feature music from the Renaissance period with sea-themed songs including performers from the Renaissance Faire.
Thursday will be a tribute to Good Queen Bess, both the real one and the ladies who have played that role at the Renaissance Pleasure Faire.

If you ever attended the Black Point Pleasure Faire or wanted to attend a real Renaissance Faire and haven't had that opportunity, this is as close as you can get to the sights and the sounds of the real thing!

All welcome!

 ~Singles and Couples~

Medieval, Renaissance, or Celtic attire please

Fantasy Gay Pride 2020: Music Sept 18-27

Inviting Fantasy Lovers of all sexual orientations to join us for our 11th Year celebration.

Our theme is MUSIC. Enjoy interactive exhibits, live shows, a luxury resort inspired by the RL Brando Island and a large mer area in Susyn's Sparkling Sea. Dancing, poetry, an event-wide Hunt and photo ops galore on two regions!

We offer something for almost everybody. We tend to prefer fairy wings to board shorts and belly dance to techno music, but you will find lots of variety in our stage shows and dances.

Opening Friday at noon SLT. The event is M, so follow LL guidelines and TOS for your dress and behavior. Fantasy wear and Avatars are encouraged. There will be costume contests throughout the 10 days of fun, but wear whatever makes you feel comfortable, just be there!

Click HERE for the Fantasy Gay Pride region and the start of the HUNT.

So far away from you...

A waist belt with a nice bronze buckle adds a subtle touch of class and holds it securely in place against those tropical breezes. The gown comes with a hud holding 10 plain fabrics and 10 tropical prints. 

The earrings are included with the gown.
