Pride Month Event @ Deception
- Deception, a RP region dedicated to the Deception television series and one of my regular sponsors, is one of my favorite places to go.
- Deception is a family-friendly region that has a full complement of Furries, Dinkies, Bronies, Ponies, Petites and various and sundry other beings. If you fit in to any of those categories, and even if you're a 100% human, don't miss this!
- Throughout the month of June there is a laid-back Pride event going on in Deception. Just click on the magic mirror at the landing point and it will whisk you to the sales area where 22 stores are represented.
- The sale items present a cross section of all these lifestyles with clothing, accessories and mods you won't find at other events. Join the group to receive updates on entertainment and sales.
- The pictures feature some of the amazing items available from The Moonstone Studio [TMS] at the Deception Pride Event.

- A cute vinyl Top, Skirt and Panties with 10 colors for each piece is the Glorious Days item for June 2- 5.

Cool Clothes for Hot Days from [QE]
- This is a holiday weekend in the US. Time for relaxation, reflection and recreation. It calls for comfortable casual wear, so of course I headed to [QE] Designs.
- There are a number of sale items available @ [QE] this weekend and they'll be there till the end of the month. Please check them out. The items I'm blogging today aren't in a particular sale, but they certainly are bargains!
- Collette Top [Dark or Light with 6 floral textures in each hud] worn with Alice Shorts [Dark or Light with 6 textures including two-toned in each hud] are on the ground floor in the NW corner of the store.
- Witchy Trikini in 2 collections [6 graphic textures for the top and 5 solid colors for the bottom in each hud] is upstairs along with as many styles of summer and beachwear as you'll ever need. The Trikini bottom will fit under the Alice shorts so that you can wear both to run around and take off the shorts when you hit the beach.

BamPu Legacies @ the Plaza Event
- William here. Aznana asked me to review the sets from BamPu Legacies being featured at the Plaza Event .
- You'll find a variety of goods in the BamPu Legacies shop @ Plaza. There are three different tributes to the land of Oz: Emerald Odyssey, Emerald Odyssey Fantasy Garden and the Lion's Honor. There's also one called The Boyfriend Cave that features a car sofa and railway lanterns and a bunch of really unusual pieces in the Crazy Bird Living Room.
- My favorite is this nautical set called Anchors Away. It includes the Sofa (decor), Cushion Tables, Ceiling Lamps (with and without light), Marlin Wall Mount, Star and Whale Pillows, Decorative Fish, Blue Plank Floor and Oar Side Table.
- The colors are restful and perfect for any beachfront home.
- The Plaza Event runs through June 14. See the Gallery HERE.

When the Sun Goes Down…

Fantasy Faire 2023 ~ The Winding Valley
- Appearing for only 21 days every 100 years, the village of the Winding Valley is currently visible @ Fantasy Faire. Read the story HERE and then visit to see this gentle countryside caught like an insect in amber before it disappears for another 100 years.
The Fairelands will soon disappear into the mists. It seems appropriate to post my last blog for this Faire season from a region that disappears only to magically reappear again, since that is exactly what happens with Fantasy Faire.Every year, we party and shop and express our love for each other and cherish each day because we know that it will soon be gone. Fantasy Faire is magic of the purest kind.We feel sorrow at its passing, but we know it will return stronger and better than ever.We have raised an unbelievable amount of money for the American Cancer Society at Fantasy Faire 2023. We will continue to do this till we reach our ultimate goal of a world without cancer. Thank you for whatever you contributed.

Fantasy Faire 2023 ~ Something for the guys Pt2
Continuing my look at Fantasy Faire shopping for male avatars...
Click HERE for the official Fantasy Faire Special Shopping Gallery for Men. You go to the page, click the picture you like, it opens another page with info and the FF LM to the store.
Steampunk or Victorian
(Top of the page) fits in well with any of the steampunk regions and groups specializing in turn of the century RP. You could probably even wear it for a formal wedding.Sharp Suit (yes, that's the actual name) from Barracuda * includes Coat, Pants, Top, Hat and Shoes with 36 hud-change textures for each piece.Picture taken in Sialdor
That's so sheikh!
Tamiorn Forge * offers the Exclusive Vistarion Magic Outfit. Find it in the RFL 100% donation kiosk. Sizes to fit just about any regular sized male avatar, mesh or classic. Your lady can purchase a matching outfit.I wore it to explore “Mana’Olana” – the Oasis of Hope. If you aren't familiar with that story, click HERE.My Interactive Baby Dragon Pet from So Silly * wanted to stay and never leave.Aetherion Tattoo - RFL is from [Soleil et Lune]*Hair with turban is No.Match - No_Longing.Picture taken at Safe HavenThe Jellyfish from Forest Fantasy Store [FFS] is a unisex full body tattoo with a luminescent hat and codpiece.It comes in 4 colors and includes a Jellyfish AO that keeps you floating and turning slowly.I wore it to the Masked Ball where I floated and turned in the water above one of the fountains and had one of the most unusual costumes there.Picture taken under the water @ Isles of Aquarius
Mushroom Amanita
You can tell just by looking at him this guy would be fun to have a beer with. Bet he's got some tales to tell!
He's a full-body avatar from BeSpoke * who is about waist high to your average avi.
Take off your attachments, put on the full-body alpha and wear the avatar and you're good to go. The mushroom hat is optional and there are 8 textures for his skin and 4 for each of his clothing items. I dressed him up in a tie for the photo opportunity, but he can also kick back in his vest and shorts.
Picture taken in FungalmireJinx* offers a full body male avatar, Petit Roth, that measures a whopping 0.4 for the bargain price of only L$50.The photo with Aznana gives you a sense of scale - she's kneeling on the ground.It comes with everything you need for the body, 2 skins with facial hair and hairbases, BoM clothing and optional elf ears. Petite Hair is available on MP and I found that some of my regular hair could be resized to fit. I'm wearing Dylan hair from Sintiklia.The Tattoo is Hirs from Juna *Aznana's outfit is Raichel from UNA *Head Flowers from [rnR] *Unless otherwise noted, this is what I use in all my pictures ~Head & Body ~ Altamura Max Bento Fullbody with BoM

Fantasy Faire 2023 ~ Something for the Guys Pt.1
William here. I wrestled the blog out of Aznana's hands to speak directly to the male avatars.Every Fantasy Faire I hear the same complaint: " There's nothing for the guys!"En contraire, my friend, there are a lot of things for male avatars to wear/use, you just have to be willing to think outside the box.If you've always wondered what it would be like to be a Wizard, Knight, Demon, Elf, Dragon... Fantasy Faire is your chance to explore that.Click HERE for the official Fantasy Faire Special Shopping Gallery for Men. Go to the page, click a picture to open another page with info and the FF LM to the store. TP to the store. Wasn't that easy?The things I'm showing here are just a sample of what you'll find in the Fairelands; just enough to make you wonder what else you missed...My look at the top of the page is the New Hope Deluxe Edition Quest outfit from Belle Epoque. This look is available at all Fairelands landing zones. Donate L$350 to the "Deluxe" Quest kiosk to receive this outfit as well as a dress for a female avatar, Cyra the helper phoenix and the Quest hud. It's a quick and easy way to get a fantasy look.Since this will be posted May the 4th, I'm thinking outside the box even by Fantasy Faire standards. How about a tribute to celestial warriors long, long ago and far away?This avatar reminds me of something out of a really high-end sci-fi film. It comes in different colors representing different Houses such as House Artistry or House Perserverance. Animesh arms allow some movement and I found I liked him better flying than just lumbering along with my usual AO walk.Picture taken in Szystrum SynodThis look uses my regular mesh body and skin with the BoM tattoos and Halo included in the box. The tattoos come in separate parts or as a full body so you can wear as much as you like. I opted out of the face tats. Tattoos come in Regular and EvoX and even work with your classic body if you don't use mesh.Tattoo ~ *Find the Fish* Sun + Halo *Outfit ~ KaiDesign *KD* Yarim loincloth *Picture taken in Safe HavenOutfit ~ John Dee's Emporium Amber Lord Boots, Harness, Wristbands,Lithomancy Pants *Staff ~ KaiDesign *KD* Chaman Staff Fire *Tattoos ~ [Soleil et Lune] Aetherion Tattoo *Brynn's BoM-Squad Warpaint Claw RFL Fire *Picture taken in KhumbalaUnless otherwise noted, this is what I use in all my pictures ~Head & Body ~ Altamura Max Bento Fullbody with BoM
