#698 - Crab Anyone?

This is a majorly cool ride! And, as big as it is, I don't get stuck anywhere with it! So I love that part! It can also be a wander on your land too! I have watched this giant wander a small platform and it never fell off! It doesn't move too far either way once it's placed and the motions are quite spooky but fun to watch too! This is the Wilds of Organica (WoO) Giant Ghost Crab RFL Fantasy Pearl, one of two RFL editions in the store here at Fantasy Faire! But there are also many other colors in the store, you are sure to find one to your liking. The RFL editions however, will not be available after the Faire, possibly until next year.

This store also happens to be on the Cassiopeia sim. This sim makes me think of a rebirth. I get the feeling that it represents nature coming back after something very cataclysmic happening to the planet. Nature returns in the most unexpected places sometimes and where it was originally. Just as strong as before. The waters so clear, nature so beautiful as it was meant to be, beginning again.

The Fantasy Faire ends on May 10th so not too much time left to see all of this and do the Quest if you want to do that too. I hope you get to see the faire, it is amazing and many purchases are a 100% donation to Relay for Life in researching a cure for cancer. Hope to see you around!

#697 - Traveling Around The Fantasy Faire

HIDDEN CAVE ON MELUSINA'S DEPTHS

Riding my trusty kelpy, I took a ride around the amazing depths of Melusina. This is an amazing place. I've already been here but missed so much! So of course, I had to go back and explore further. I still need to find the ruins here, those I have not run across yet. Never has the underwater been more enticing. Make sure to wander off the beaten paths when you visit. You can also find these Oceana Kelpies here too. Get a better look at this outfit on Flickr. I couldn't fit all I wanted into this post!

SOUL - RANITOMEYA V2 SKIN

This is the .:Soul:. Ranitomeya V2 [G3] Skin, in the RFL tone. So lovely I think. I really like this one's markings, I own a few of them and I really do like the colors in this line. And these are a new Gen 3 skin line at the Fantasy Faire this year. I have applied it using BoM to the AK W001 Head and Slink Hourglass Mesh Body. I have applied the specific BoM Layer for the head to this AK head. The full BoM skin doesn't apply to the head, so you must either apply it with the Omega applier or try the BoM Brow or NoBrow layers to apply the skin to the head. I have used the BoM NoBrow Layer here. But there is a note included when you apply the skin to his particular head. Which is possibly the same with all the other AK Advanced heads. I thought once the Bakes on Mesh button worked and the skin showed up, but the next time it did not. This skin is available for both male and female and only at Fantasy Faire on the Zodiac sim.

The outfit is the Roped Passions - Olina Enchantress Outfit Purple and it is RP's RFL outfit this year. Very sexy and lovely, showing lots of skin! Yes it does! And sheer in the back too! I am wearing it on the Slink Hourglass Mesh Body. Ooo la la! Find it at the Fantasy Faire on the Lamented Fens sim.

Staying away from the hustle and bustle of the busy areas of the sims. I love looking from a distance to see a bigger picture or just enjoying the waves because I am in the middle of the US and always indoors. No ocean waves around here either! It's nice to sit quietly (or lean) and think on things after exploring for a while.

FOLLY - HELLION FANTASY MAKEUP  BOM RFL, *TSM* WARPATH - S5 - L.E. FANTASY FAIRE 2015 RFL

This is an RFL exclusive hair from The Stringer Mausoleum, *TSM* Warpath. I have always been a fan of the Warpath hair from *TSM* and I couldn't believe I didn't have this one! It is only one color and resizable. Not expensive either and perfect for what I wanted to create. Something less, soft looking? You can find *TSM* on the Zodiac sim.
The makeup is from Folly - Hellion Fantasy Makeup BoM RFL. There are many different colors available and they are easy on your wallet too. These are both BoM layers and Omega applied. I used the BoM layer above. It is layered over the .:Soul:. Brows BoM layer for the skin (just FYI). Find Folly on the Lamented Fens sim.
The eyes are from TLB! - Lyric Eyes/Purple (Omega applied) and are also at the Fantasy Faire on Autumnium.

The outfit is The Annex - Kimama Black separates, (top, bottom & panties) also found at the Fantasy Faire right now. Also shown on the Hourglass mesh body. Find The Annex on the Cassiopeia sim. There really is so much to see and find here with more shopping sims this year. Shop while all these beautiful sims surround you.

#154 - Magical Staffs, Wands and Books - Anachron @ The Fantasy Gacha Carnival

Anachron has the Magical tools you need to show off your powers this month at the Fantasy Gacha Carnival. And there are many to win from the Magic Items Gacha, wands, rare staffs & rare books!

CROUCHING TIGER, FLOATING MEL!

This is the RARE Staff of Life, just one of four rares in this gacha set called Magic Items. These Magic Items have a HUD that controls the particles it will emit. Every item has this HUD and each ones particle effects are different. I have put together quite a few pictures to show what they do. And let's start with one of the Rare Books, the Book of Order:

RARE BOOK OF ORDER AND ITS EFFECTS BY ANACHRON

You add the book and the HUD and when you press the lightning bolt, you get the "At the ready" or "Preparing to strike" stance. In this case the book is open and held up as if you are looking into it. Some particles begin poofing from the book (large picture), the Fireball button (or Fire button) makes you shoot the magic from your item, in this case the book, being the Book of Order is shoots this circular symbol out (top right pic), next the "Rain" button sends out smaller triangular & circular shapes as you open your arms and turn slightly side to side throwing forth the powers. The next picture shows the "Explosion" button sends out the large circular symbol quickly (bottom right), the "Shield" Button puts forth the circular symbol and this stays in front of you until you turn off the book or use another button. 

#148 - Last Day Of Hair Fair 2016 & Bandana Day!!! Dreamsplosion Bandana by TSM

Today is the last day of the Hair Fair until next year! You have one more chance to get your donation in if you'd like to make one. Today is Bandana Day and it benefits Wigs For Kids! They make wigs for kids who've lost their hair due to cancer or other medical reasons. A great cause to be a part of!

Each bandana is only $50L and here is the one I chose to purchase. These purchases are 100% donations to the charity, Wigs For Kids. They are created and donated by the designers, committee and bloggers of the Hair Fair who chose to make one or some for the Bandana Booths, there is one Bandana Booth on each sim at the Hair Fair. And they all have the same bandanas.

#143 - The Stringer Mausoleum, Eye Catching Hair That Commands Attention

*TSM* - The Stringer Mausoleum's Hair offerings at Hair Fair 2016 are some very attention grabbing styles! Large and in charge are how I would describe most of them that are available at this years Hair Fair 2016! It was quite fun walking around to see what responses I would get in these hair styles. And yes, they really attracted attention but I would have to say they commanded attention everywhere I went! 

*TSM* HAUTE IN BLOOD RAVEN

This is one that commanded attention when I wore it. Haute comes in an array of 28 colors! This color is Blood Raven and it is included in the Flames pack with four colors total. There are six packs to choose from and the Fatpack. They are modify so you can adjust them to your head as needed and resize them as you need. Haute is seen here on a Standard/Classic Avatar head. No mesh head here. The shaved head hair base is not included.

#124 - Maxin' & Relaxin' On The Beach With Items From The Wash Cart Sale

When it's quittin' time and I am ready for some fun in the sun or just some me time, I love hanging out on the beach! Listening to the waves slap the shore and the birds chirping away and smelling the fresh sea air just feels so relaxing. Laying out on the sand after having been in the water is so nice especially when you have a nice warm fire pit just in case you get a chill as the evening wears on into the night...
