Fantasy Gay Pride Day Five

We had a very nice poetry session inside the Egyptian pyramid. FGP's poet laureate, Wolfgang Glinka, read several of his original works written for Fantasy Gay Pride over the years and just about everyone in the group read something they had found meaningful or inspirational.

Costumes weren't required but added to the fun

 

No special events scheduled for Sept 9, but on the 10th, Key Drammond will be sharing his wonderful voice with us @ 7 slt.

In the meantime, enjoy both hunts.

There are tons of great prizes throughout the Fantasy Gay Pride sim!

 



Fantasy Gay Pride Day Four

No events scheduled for today, so many of us spent the day doing the sim-wide hunt.
While hunting in Egypt, I discovered there is an additional hunt going on there. My friend Q, who built the Egyptian section of the festival, hadn't even told us he had done a special hunt in his area! 
We quickly spread the word because the prizes are wonderful!

I just couldn't go digging around a pyramid in my usual elven clothing, so I was tickled to receive a notice from LaVain announcing a cute outfit at the Swank event. I popped over there, got the outfit, changed my clothes and was ready to go exploring!

Hat - Janas pith helmet available on MP
Hair - LeLutka & Celoe Vent Hair
Outfit - LaVain Essentials the Last Goodbye mesh outfit comes with a hud to change the colors of the jacket, blouse and trousers. Available @ the Swank event http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Manatoba/192/9/24

Fantasy Gay Pride Day Three

Day Three saw us rocking out to lots of music.

Max Kleene turned in a powerful performance from the lighthouse stage in the Canadian section of the sim. Many native Canadians were in the audience to cheer him on!

(thanks to Vander Galaeth for the wonderful pictures)

 

DJ Starhawk Starostin provided just the right balance of country and rock 'n roll for the Best in Western dance held in the Kokopelli section of the sim. There was some line dancing and lots of boot stompin' through the evening. We decided we're glad some mamas let their babies grow up to be cowboys!

The hunt continues through the week. The prizes are amazing! Find clues and landmarks in the blue Fantasy Gay Pride Posters throughout the sim.

Next event will be Wolfie's Poetry Surf on Tuesday Sept 8 @ 2 in the Egyptian tomb. Come listen to the poetry or even read some of your own. This event will be in voice.

Fantasy Gay Pride 2015 Day Two

Day Two and silliness prevails. We had a very bawdy stage show by Whinge and Plukket and a Cross-dress fashion show, followed by a wild dance. It was a lot of fun! Everyone looked beautiful - especially the guys!

 

Sept 6 we'll visit Canada and the US southwest for musical magic.
Max Kleene will sing and we'll have a DJ dance with Starhawk Starostin and a costume contest for "Best in Western Wear"

Fantasy Gay Pride continues till September 13.

Fantasy Gay Pride 2015 Day One

Fantasy Gay Pride 2015 opened with a great celebration. Activities continue through September 13


 
The Olympic Temple seemed the perfect backdrop for a momentous occasion. Poetry reading by Wolfgang Glinka of an original piece written specifically for the festival.








MrMultiWriter ...

and Lisa Brune provided the musical entertainment for the first two hours of the festival. They both did a wonderful job and the audience had a great time dancing and socializing before going to explore the rest of the sim.

The evening concluded with a dance inside the Egyptian pyramid. There was a costume contest, of course and everybody looked marvelous! (Even the mummy who had been waiting for 3000 years for a party!)

Saturday September 5 will see a musical comedy performance by Whinge and Plukket, a Cross-Dress Fashion Show and a Dance with a costume contest for Best in Cross-dressing. The fun starts @ 2 pm slt in the Aztec Pyramid.

Our goal has always been to build understanding and acceptance of all kinds of relationships, so whether you're Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender, or Straight, this event is for you!
