Medieval Faire Opens May 19 - June 18

Are you queen of the fairies or  queen of your castle, a serving wench, robber-baron, Emperor, rouge or a noble knight?  Perhaps you are a Lady at Court or a flirty milkmaid with the King's son. If you enjoy role play or just want a fabulous period outfit to add to your wardrobe, don't miss  the Medieval Faire, opening  Friday, May 19, to benefit Relay For Life and the American Cancer Society.

The event features two full sims loaded with plenty of entertainment and shopping, set in a beautifully lush medieval village.  Clothing, jewelry, weapons, furnishings and much more await you around every corner.  But watch out!  There be fire breathing beasts about!

The faire, similar to a real world "Ren Faire", offers medieval tournaments in jousting, swordplay, magic, archery, and horse racing.  There are over 50 merchants supporting Relay For Life, each featuring items that will be sold for 100% profit to Relay. On the entertainment front, a dozen live performers and many DJs are all donating their time and talents to Relay For Life.

Don't miss this exciting month-long event; try your hand at all the sports, find that perfect outfit or decor item, or enjoy live musicians and dj sets!  All for a good cause --- to find a cure for cancer.

When Friday arrives, grab the carriage below and let your imagination run wild and most of all, enjoy.

Mr. X and Constance Stanbury *NEW* !!SMD!!

It is the 1850s. At the mouth of the Baltic lies the gilded city of Saint-Petersburg, lined with ornate palaces and home to the Romanov dynasty. And, !!SMD!! has made the most beautiful 18th century Rococo styled gown called Constance Stanbury in the finest courtly fashion to explore any 18th century SL sim.

Constance Stanbury is made in the finest 18th century Rococo style with a tobe a la francaise consisting of a jupe (skirt), stomacher and low cut ruffled bodice with marked waist and flowing loose hanging back folds, called Watteau folds. This gown is made of light silk taffeta and damask -- historically it came in soft pastels such as this lovely purple or pink that I am wearing.  This gown also comes in blue, black and white, red and teal and is made for Slink and Maitreya Mesh bodies.

The hat is an artful display of lace, flowers and feathers... perfect for a proper lady in the 1880's!  The hair I have on is no longer made although may be available on MP.

Imagine walking the historic streets of this fabulous city. Known as the Venice of the North the wide avenues and grand neo-classical styled buildings are amazing. Nevsky Prospekt is St Petersburg's best known street cutting through the historic center from the Admiralty to the Moscow Railway Station then on to the Alexander Nevsky Monastery. Palaces, cathedrals, theatres grace the streets all leading to the magnificent Winter Palace.

Mr. X and Siri new [Aleutia] & Emo-tions Jewelry "All Those Kisses"

It is the weekend... and what to wear --- is always a question... but [Aleutia]'s new design called "Siri" makes it an easy choice with tons of variation... Mr. X likes that.  This is perfect for gossip and rum at the port of call...later dinner outdoors under soft lights -- the fragrance of orange in the air....

Siri  is a luscious one piece bodysuit that is sleek and sensual and perfect to make a bold statement. The slink silk bodice accentuates the sexy sheer  silk cutouts while the suit hugs a woman's curves in a fabulous fit that will have heads turning.

The first version of Siri is available with [Aleutia]'s signature 30 color HUD.  This hud allows you to mix and match this outfit in solid colors.

The second version of Siri includes 12 flamboyant prints -- each one prettier than the next... plus it has a 30 color  hud for the sheer cutouts giving the prints endless  variety.  Siri is 100% Original Mesh and an exclusive Maitreya Design.  It is available at Cosmopolitan through May 20 and is only 250L For the length of the event!

I have paired Siri with a new jewelry release by Em-tions called "All Those Kisses" (good god, Mr. X knows how I love those!!).  I have a personal fondness for turquoise in both lives and this release is gorgeous with its chunky bracelet, gorgeous oval ring that reminds me of a Zuni  ring and charming arrowhead necklace all in finely wrought silver. It has a Native American vibe... which I love...to Native Americans, turquoise is simply -- life...the earth is alive with all things... no matter how large or small...and this is something we must all respect. An exclusive @ ON9 through May 31.

Mr. X and Roman Holiday @ Swank -Prey, GW, Glitter & Moondance 7 emo-tions

I told Mr. X that Audrey Hepburn was the third choice behind Jean Simmons and Elizabeth Taylor  for that classic movie "Roman Holiday".  Really, can you imagine it with anyone else?  I can't and neither can Mr. X. The new frock by Prey that is an exclusive @ Swank called Akamu is the perfect sorta dress to fall asleep in on a park bench.... and wake up safe and sound in an American Reporter's apartment... for safe keeping of course!

 I love this retro chic  neutral styled bubble dress carefully embellished  with flowers.  It has a very "swank" high waistline and sleek  V neck multi toned silk bodice in a lighter neutral shade. Akamu is made for maitreya mesh and classic mesh bodies.   I am wearing shoes from Swank by GW called Spring Stiletto.  They are made for slink high feet and come with a color changing hud that offers 5 solids and 5 floral pattern colors.

The necklace by Moondance Jewels called Dew Drop is also an exclusive at Swank and comes with two bracelets, two rings and a lovely necklace.  Life can be quite unexpected-- and wearing this retro chic dress, you might just be the very thing they just don't expect... and that is great fun indeed....

As Princess Anne Said in Roman Holiday...At midnight, I'll turn into a pumpkin and drive away in my glass slipper. Joe replied... And that will be the end of the fairy tale.

Mr. X and Marlyn - *New* Sascha's Designs

There is something about black leather... things go in and out of style... but Mr. X tells me and I agree that black leather is timeless... and this new outfit called Marlyn by Sascha's Designs sizzles.... there is no way to avoid it ----and more to the point... they all can't stop staring!

And I love these sleek skin tight mini  shorts with their high waist and the asymmetrical crop  jacket with luscious silver studs.  The jacket has  a big silver button on the high neckline that beckons.... to be undone....Marlyn comes in black, choco, gold, pink, red and silver.  It is made for all mesh and classic mesh fit bodies.

And--- don't forget the boots with silver studs... they are made for slink, maitreya and belleza feet....and  they are fabulous.... aren't they....

Mr. X and Green Tara -3-Eye Designs and {Letituier} & Isa d'orable @ Swank

I asked Mr. X where is the  shaman... is everyone a shaman...  and then the fog of enlightenment descends... slowly like silver silvers of the moon... where everyone is a philosopher... everything is  divine... and most simply put,  everyone can turn a blind third -eye... to this subtle , intangible SL world... and yes... I found the most amazing find...  by 3-Eye Designs called the  Ruins of Tara..... that is an exclusive @ Swank....

For me,  तारा, tārā is the goddess of regeneration and hope... and I  dream on her and with her... like the great mother, she surrounds us... in an eternal embrace. Green Tārā, (śyāmatārā) is known as the Buddha of enlightened activity... and, for me,  SL can be, or should I say  is an "enlightened" or shall I say, enlightening(!) activity.  This fabulous sculpture and garden by  3-Eye Designs comes with  8 poses and 4 meditation poses...  that brings peace and  tranquility....it perfectly rendered, prim light and a must must have...  It will be one thing I will keep always.... 

Green Tara ... as radiant as the full moon she obscures pride and  ignorance... desire and attachments... hatred and anger... a  saviouress of compassion and beauty... she waits... and this  Green Tara is  is serene and beautiful... I wait as always, for Mr. X with  calm now.

This gown called Chinese Dragon Kiss is by Isa d'Orable she has many items -- equally as unique at this month's Swank (to be blogged later) -- I just love this gown that has a color changing hud and is compatible with mesh bodies.

I am also  wearing Taema Hair hair by {Letituier} that is an exlusive at Swank. This avant garde hair reminds me of a temple with its gold wired embellished buns  that rise like a Stupa...  in the light of  dawn.  This hair comes with a color changing hud and is compatible with mesh and non mesh heads.
