Nothing Gold Can Stay
The Fantasy Faire ends today and is marked by overwhelming success. Over 9 million lindens were raised for Relay for Life! If you participated then give yourself a giant pat on the back… we did good! * grins * Parting is such sweet sorrow…….
Nature’s first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf’s a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.
~Robert Frost~

The Fantasy Faire is winding down tomorrow so if you have not flown in and checked out what all the fluttering is about…. you need to do it soon! Tonight at 5PM slt the Silent Auction ends. The Silent Auction has exclusive items that were created for the event and even one of a kind items! You can check out the items up for auction here.
This years Fantasy Faire has been such a positive event; I’ve been introduced to the amazing creations of the muses (and I am smitten,) I’ve added 16 new friends, donated to a wonderful cause, have an inventory of mystical wealth and treasures, danced with goblins, laughed with drows, played with fairies, kissed a knight in shining armor…. and a frog, and I have marveled at the stunning sims and designs from the talented vendors. Life is good.

Dancing with David
Welcome to my fae realm. A world where you float effortlessly hanging on a cherished poem and time has no hold on life. Soft footsteps tread the warm soil and the forest is a musical celebration of buzzing wings and playful fae. Where only beauty is found in nature and the earth is alive with effervescent glowing lights. A place where life begins and ends, only to begin anew. A universe where my brother still dances and I can hear his contagious laugh.
Fantasy Faire is winding down and I can’t help but wonder why the festivities are packed into a short week. I have always been bad with “good-byes” and the last one to leave the party so this feeling is not unusual for me…. There is still the weekend and plenty more events scheduled for us to participate. On a better note, the Faire has raised over 5 million lindens for Relay for Life!!!! I have a load more poses from F*cking Ninjas (Fantasy Fair) and elephante poses (Pre-Release) so there is sure to be more shenanigans at play!
Conjure the Magic! Finish the Fight!

Rejuvenate
After a long day of battling the evil lag creatures in the Fairelands, Gopu and I headed to the sim of our immortal ally and Fallen God to rejuvenate our weary warrior souls. With the assistance of the F*cking Ninjas we recouped as we counted our linden losses… not too bad! Our Fantasy Faire bounty is growing and our quest to greatly reward Relay For Life has paid off handsomely…. now we seek the Key of Hope! Wont you join us?

Memories of Earth Day 2013
We spent Earth Day in the beautiful mountains and then came home and celebrated with our Second Life friends and Pre-Release!!! I found this poem while on a wooded trail and wanted to share it here. Hope you had a great Earth Day!
xxxooo
Earth Day
I am the Earth
And the Earth is me.
Each blade of grass,
Each honey tree,
Each bit of mud,
And stick and stone
Is blood and muscle,
Skin and bone.
And just as I
Need every bit
Of me to make
My body fit,
So Earth needs
Grass and stone and tree
And things that grow here
Naturally.
That’s why we
Celebrate this day.
That’s why across
The world we say:
As long as life,
As dear, as free,
I am the Earth
And the Earth is me.

Kneel Before Your Lady
Another fun filled day of fantasy and frolic courtesy of the Fantasy Faire! After a bit of shopping Gopu and I ventured to The Looking Glass and marveled at the extreme attention to detail the artists employed when designing every square inch of this beautiful sim. The day before we were able to rezz pose balls, but unfortunately that option was turned off today much to my dismay, so we ventured to Carnivale and put her ruins to good use.
The dress I am wearing by the muses is stunning, absolutely stunning. I actually happened upon it quite by accident as I originally purchased another dress by the muses that never arrived. The detailed textures and the fabrics are impeccable. Fingers crossed that the other dress arrives soon, I am dying to get it on now!
It wouldn’t be a Fantasy Faire day without F*cking Ninjas! This pose, For my Damsel, comes with the sword and was exclusively created for Fantasy Faire. The sword lays across your knight in shining armor’s shoulder as he kneels before his one true lady. *smitten*. Stay tuned as Gopu and I bring out the ninja magic for the next eight days. Currently Gopu wants to slay a Bambi in the next shoot…..shudders…. so there is no telling what is in store!
Conjure the Magic! Finish the Fight!

It’s a Mad World….
Gopu and I were checking out the super cool monochromatic NV Madworld sim art and I snapped some pictures as we played on the dangerous boxes and teased the black crow in the shop. Ah… now that is living on the edge! We will definitely be returning to take photos outside in the surreal landscape. Fantastic white grass, floating bubbles, drops of suspended water and dark abstract art. Swing by and check it out if you haven’t it is a great place for a photo shoot.
This Pre-Release round’s theme is Designers Choice and there is a virtual smorgasbord of designs awaiting your lindens! Every item at Pre-Release is 125L or less … more bang for your buck! I adore this tied top and skirt outfit from FireBird Designs! The skull on the mesh shirt stole my little pixel heart! Smexy! I am also wearing Pre-Release jewelry from Pheobe and Pomposity. A fabulous lady bug ring and a scorpion necklace that dangerously hangs between my girls. I’m smitten!
Gopu’s dotted shirt is also from this round of Pre-Release. The mesh shirt is extremely well made and the texture is unbelievably realistic in world. Doesn’t he look hot! Smirk

Sexy in Flannel
There is something totally sexy about this long night shirt from D&G Fashions …. Sure lingerie is fun to wear and definitely lets your partner know your intent….
but the sweet soft pajama will make just about any man drop to his knees….. just ask Gopu *Wicked Grins*
……. throw in a stuffed sheep and well….. maybe he will even get off your side of the bed! LOL
(It’s true. I live with a bona fide bed hog. )
I love wearing soft comfy pajama tops and knee socks… almost as much as I love jumping on the bed!
Never lose your smile or your youth!

Quality Control
This fun Easter pose by elephante poses is aptly called “Feel This” and that is exactly what Gopu is doing…. checking the quality of my Easter eggs of course! The pose is one of the many quality poses that are available at the Evil Bunny Hunt! Elephante poses are the creations of photographer MelissaJeanne Flores and I look forward to bringing you more images of her unique photo quality props and poses!
I am wearing an adorable dress from D&G Fashions that is only available at the Pre-Release Event. The checkered waist with the little bunny has to be my favorite part! The totally smexy Pin Up Boots are the latest release from deviousMind and I do believe they are my most favorite item in my inventory right now. I purchased the whole fat pack and cannot wait to share them all!!
The dock in the images is a PRIME creation and is also from the Evil Bunny Hunt. It is one of the awesome sponsor gifts given upon completion! I have included a couple images of the animations that are included with the dock. The animations are so tender and life like – probably the best couple animations I’ve seen in quite some time….. although we’ve come to expect nothing less from PRIME. Amazingly…. it is free. Go get one! 🙂
