Duchess of the Jungle
I just learned that I am one of the two July Flickr Photo winners for Collisions! How cool is that! Collisions makes this henna tattoo I am wearing, Lalita Chameli Tattoo. It is one of my favorite tattoos because the design seems to flow and evolve in just the right places adding a delicate touch to even the harshest warrior princess * grins * The outfit by The Plastik are the other creative factors in the image…. and since I have purchased another in white, more will come. Obviously more will come from Collisions as well…. blogging is terribly expensive so the store credit I just won totally rocks my socks…. or in this case tattoo! The image was taken while experimenting with WL and shadow settings… I still have a long way to go to match much of the awesomeness I see on Flickr…. but the challenge is half the fun (insert groaning graphics card here!) One day grasshopper…. one day. * smiles *

Give Peace a Chance
Phoebe has released her studded mesh skirt with a new hud that produces not one… not two…. but eight!! stars and stripes patterns for the good ole’ USA. What I love about this skirt is that the patterns were carefully thought out and executed yielding 8 skirts that have the perfect balance between patriotism and fashion. So for July 4th wear a skirt that screams “style” rather than “costume” and be the trendsetter at the Independence Day party! The skirt and flower ring are available at the Black Market which ends on July 13.
I tried a number of tops with the high waisted skirt and found The Plastik to have the best pairing. The Plastik, known for incredible patterns and meticulously designed original clothing items, has so many pattern and color choices your only problem will be deciding which one to click on! Since I was going with the star theme I chose the Naval pattern, however there are so many choices that fit well with the color schemes for Phoebe’s skirt.
A better look at the jewelry and fingernails…..and a good excuse to use this super cute pose by Del May! Speaking of poses, the top pose created by the incredibly talented pose makers at F*cking Ninjas was originally designed to be used with a katana (included with pose,) however with the Slink “Victory” hands it became the perfect peaceful vehicle…. how ironic. LOL

HOME AND GARDEN EXPO 2013
May 24th – June 2nd 2013
http://slhomeandgardenexpo.wordpress.com/
My wish…. Be my mirror, my sword and shield…..
Your Tunage: Coldplay – Viva La Vida
One minute I held the key
Next the walls were closed on me
And I discovered that my castles stand
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand
I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing
Roman Cavalry chiors are singing
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
(Lyrics by Coldplay – Viva la Vida)
Ranger Girl
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?

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!

Welcome to the Jungle
The 2013 Fantasy Faire has officially kicked off and there is no shortage of fantasy fashions, items, poses, accessories and landscapes on the grid today! This unbelievable effort of combined talents has given us not one, but 10 virtual showrooms to gather the coolest, most up-to-date fantasy creations we can get our mystical hands on… all the while supporting the American Cancer Society’s vision of a world without cancer!
This event really touches my heart. I lost my beautiful brother, David, to lung cancer. I cannot even begin to describe how this horrible disease changed my life, but I can tell you that I feel as though part of my soul was ripped out the day David died. So I am posting my Fantasy Faire images in honor of my brother David. My smile. My heart. And my soul. Namaste. They may not have been created by the most talented photographer in Second Life…. but they have been created with a love so strong and pure…. they could only send out waves of positive energy to those who need it most.
Conjure the Magic! Finish the Fight!
I am kicking off the event with one of the Feature Creators of Fantasy Faire, F*cking Ninjas! These mad girls have been burning the midnight oil for the last few weeks conjuring up exclusive poses for this event and I can tell you without hesitation they are phenomenal! The above pose, Welcome to the Jungle, comes with the spear prop and is just one of the many exclusive poses I plan to share this week.
So head over to Ravenshard, jump on the book shelves and check out their Ninja skills!
The Facial Piercings in the above image are from designer Pheobe. The piercings are available until Suday at Acid Lily Gallery for 50L!!! The detail on the piercings is incredible and the hud not only lets you choose metals and gems but also allows you to add shadows for a more realistic look! They rock!
