FF2014: Fairytale

I took some photos at Fantasy Faire sim Hope's Horizon the other day, and noticed that the white tree near the summit was labelled 'RIP Daddy'. I'd be lying if I didn't admit that tears came to my eyes.

Sometimes, it's little touches like this that remind us what Fantasy Faire is all about. There isn't a single one of us who hasn't been touched by cancer in some way, whether someone dear to us has been taken too soon, or is bravely battling the disease.

While the funds raised for the American Cancer Society are vital, the Faire also gives us a chance to remember and honour those we have lost to the disease, and be thankful for and celebrate loved ones who have pulled through.

It's in this vein that Augurer of Luminary has included moving tributes with each of her RFL items and named the gowns for the women in question. I'm wearing Annette, a beautifully modest outfit, fit for a fairytale princess.

I've teamed it with House of Rain's Melt necklace and earrings, and I'm sitting on {anc}'s Fairytalebook pose prop. (You have to see this in-world; my photos don't do it justice, and it's a mere 4 land impact.)

Tomorrow is the last day of Fantasy Faire; so visit while you still can.

FF2014: The Woodlander

A woodland look today, gleaned from Fantasy Faire's offerings.

The outfit is a combination of items from Fantavatar & Moonstruck and Poet's Heart; with a necklace from House of Rain, tatoo from LaNoir Soleil Designs, and staff poses from Hopscotch. (Yay for staff poses! They are much needed.) The hair, meanwhile, is just one of the great new styles Wasabi Pills have out.

Full credits - and links to the relevant Fantasy Faire sims - after the jump.

Don't forget; the Faire only runs until May 11. Time is fleeting, so make sure you explore the beautiful sims before they are gone forever.

No pleasure in anything else

It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single lady in possession of some linden dollars must be in want of a new gown. And perhaps also a rugged wealthy gentleman in a wet shirt.

This month's round of  The Seraphim Social can certainly see you suitably attired as it's theme is deveoted to Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice. This outfit is Junbug's 'Mrs Darcy' and it's a one-piece mesh empire line gown and over coat.

If you do have a hunky gentleman in your Second Life, or indeed if you are one yourself, check out the accompanying Mr Darcy outfit, with its daringly unbuttoned shirt (think Matthew MacFayden as Darcy). Pure 19th century hotness right there.

Merry Christmas! This is a quick post to share some Christmas gifts with you... the Advent calendars have come to an end at Krystal, so you can grab the last tiara and last gown on on the boards for 0L. (The other items are still available for 10-40L each.)

The necklace and earrings are a gift from House of Rain - look for the blue box under the tree.

The skin is a special holiday offer from La Petite Morte - a special edition of Reagan for just 50L.
