Fantasy Faire ~ Something for the Guys

 

  • William here. Every year I take over Aznana's blog to feature some of the amazing men's items available @ Fantasy Faire
  • 8 years ago, when I started doing a special page for men's stuff on the blog, there really weren't a lot of male items to be had at Fantasy Faire. And believe me, my buddies complained about it...LOUDLY!  [Click for 2018 blog]
  • All that has changed drastically! Men's and Unisex items are everywhere now! Thank you, content creators! 
  • Take a look at the Men's Shopping Guide for inspiration and go build yourself some awesome Fantasy looks! Fantasy Faire closes at midnight slt on May 13.

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.
Hair ~ Analog Dog Animus
Head LeLutka EvoX Avalon 4.0
Body ~ Meshbody Legacy 
Outfit ~ Caverna Obscura Starlight 2 Silks (also good for belly dancing and ocean activities) * 
Wings ~ Aii Dark Fae Wings (shown without the jewelry) *
Picture ~ FF26 Kallissya


[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!)
Hair ~ Wasabi Cleo
Head ~ [AK ADVX] Sofia
Body ~ Maitreya LaraX
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.

Outfit ~ Soap Bubble Fairie Petal Gown & Wings RFL purkle *

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!

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 ~ 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.”

Fantasy Faire ~ The Quest


The Quest has begun!
The Bard Queen calls upon the peoples of the Fairelands 
to help restore the land and to gather some amazing awards in the process.
Read the backstory HERE.

  • You will need a hud to participate in the hunt. Purchase your Quest Hud from the RFL kiosk at any official landing point. 
  • The Regular Hud can be purchased for a L$250 donation.
  • The Deluxe Hud is available for a L$350 donation. It includes everything from the regular hud package as well as the complete outfits for male and female human hunters shown here. The Deluxe Hud includes outfit sets for Humans, Tinies and Dinkies from Grasshopper Street and Totally Dinkies/Tinies.


  • Buy the Pilgrim Forest participation hud. 
  • READ the INSTRUCTIONS, attach your hud and your helper, Hero, a tiny white faun companion and you're ready to Quest. Hero will be invisible till you reach a certain point in the Quest. The hud will provide hints and TPs as you go along.
  • Start looking for the Bard Queen in Fairelands Junction. You need to find her in order to start your quest.
  • 100% of all L$ paid for the Quest Huds is donated to Relay for Life. The mountain of prizes for those who successfully complete the Quest is amazing!






Start your journey by finding the Bard Queen,

Fantasy Faire ~ Amon Galadrann


  • What can you do on a sleepless night? When Fantasy Faire is open, there is an obvious answer to that question!  
  • The Fairelands are somewhat less crowded between midnight and 6 am slt. It's a good time to explore. 


  • I opened my Fantasy Faire 2026 Teleport Hud (available at all the major landing points throughout the Fairelands), pointed my cursor and found myself in Amon Galadrann an ancient land occupying the space between where light meets shadow, where nightmares can be dreams and dreams can be nightmares. 
  • The main landing zone is high above ground level across a sky bridge from the Temple. It's a lovely region that will definitely give you your daily 10K steps. There are stairways...and more stairways...and yet more stairways... There are stores hidden away along the walkways surrounding the Temple, as well as in the Elven village at the bottom. 
  • I reached the village just as the sun was rising and it was glorious! Enjoy your visit!


  • Featured today are Poet's Heart Sharona Dress with pauldron-style metal Shoulders. [Sky Pack includes 14 dress colors, 9 metals 100% RFL donation]
  • Jewelry from Schelm includes Azure Bless Earrings and Seiryu Tiara. [Hud-controlled gems and inlaid colors on the Tiara]
