RFL Fantasy Faire 2011 is open!

You've waited for it all year and it's finally here! The RFL Fantasy Faire is open from April 2 to 10. Eight sims dedicated to fantasy realms!


The booth

Come and visit the Mer Betta store at the Faire.

The landing point gazebo is just in front with a strip of land connecting it to my S-shaped "dock". It has two levels: above water and underwater. The newer products are all above water with the vendors sprouting out of islands.

The arch on the left leads to a lily pad with some of the broad leaves slowly descending underwater. There's a pair of water tunnels that lead away to the center of the sim.

Ember Farina gave me a preview of the mer sim beforehand and she introduced me to Elicio Ember's work. Elicio is the creator of Cerridwen's Cauldron. The Fantasy Faire crew had used Elicio's work on the mer sim, and he himself designed the sim next door called "Exotic Worlds".

I went back to Elicio's store the next day, bought half the store, and asked him to marry me. He said I actually bought more than half his store. He didn't accept my marriage proposal, but he gave me a couple of products for free to thank me for my shopping spree. So, when I have time again, I'll be redecorating the main Mer Betta store with these goodies.


The products

I already mentioned the new Mer Betta Simplicity mermaid gowns, which I released at the Fashion for Life clothing fair.

I'm also resurrecting the Mer Betta RFL2010-Owain tail and its add-on packs, because I'm told that people are asking about it. If you missed it last year, you'll find it underwater at the Fantasy Faire. It will only be available there, nowhere else, not even at the Mer Betta main store. So, go and grab it this week.

And if you've seen the Mer Betta machinima ad on YouTube or on the MODA Spotlight shows on Treet.TV, the full version of that song, "Mermaid Fantasy" by Capos Calderwood (www.AlexWhitmore.com), is now available for sale.

The piranha jail

On April 5 Tuesday at 7pm SLT / Pacific, I would be jailed in a giant piranha right in front of my store at the faire. *sigh* Please rescue me! All "bail" monies go to the Relay for Life.

I'll be Twittering my "incarceration", so please follow me at http://twitter.com/WildOpalLei.
