Covering the Second Life Fantasy Faire 2011! ~ Piper Shan Designs

I did a bit of wandering around the Fantasy Faire 2011 to check out the sims. I only visited three so far, lots to see! so many pictures to take! What I did see was amazingly, awesome fabulous! Incredible builds! I envy the talent of these people! not just in the sim design but the many business owners, artist and creators in Second Life that have sent up themed stores for the relay!

From Saturday April 2nd to Sunday April 10th 2011, thousands of Second Life residents and creators are coming together to support the American Cancer Society's vision of a world without cancer. Friends Fighting Cancer (FFC) have transformed nine sims of Second Life into a fantasy wonderland: the Fantasy Faire 2011 to benefit Relay for Life of Second Life.

The Fantasy Faire 2011 is the largest gathering of fantasy designers, enthusiasts, roleplayers and performers in the virtual world. Ten days of commerce, special events, live music concerts, exclusive items auctions, RFL ribbon hunts and fundraising to benefit Relay for Life and the fight against cancer.

This nine sim event is bringing together such fantasy genres as Fairy, Elven, Magic, Mermaid, Goth, Demon, Vamp, Neko, Micro, Steampunk, Sci-Fi and more including fantasy landscaping and appearance such as skin & hair! FFC's goal in 2011 is to raise $20,000 USD for RFL of SL. The Fantasy Faire 2011 will also offer visitors an opportunity to celebrate the survivors of cancer, remember and honor loved ones lost, and to fight back with the American Cancer Society.

The Fantasy Faire 2011 is made possible by the generous support of Sim and Event Sponsors: Dark Goddess Designs, Evie's Closet, Fallen Gods, Fantasy Furniture by Arachne Anatra, Hoof It, Mer Betta, Petable, The Looking Glass, The Arcanum, T R I D E N T, Mycon3 fantasy sim, Fondazione Connell - The Project and Roleplay Guide.

To join us this year just search for "Fantasy Faire Central" on the map - open to the public 2nd - 10th April, 2011.

This year's third annual Fantasy Faire is produced by Friends Fighting Cancer, an international team of people who have been involved with the RFL of SL for the past five years who are all committed to helping the American Cancer Society reach this year’s goal of $300,000 USD.

Here is me sitting on the Nemo tower over looking the balloons of Nemo Revisited.

The rez point of Nemo Revisited. It was hard to get a good shot of the intricate detail of the steam punk theme surrounding it, I highly recommend to visit personally and see for yourself.

Here is a shot of my own store set up in Nemo Revisited.

This sim is next to Nemo Revisited, and I loved it. Its sort of a mix between Arabian and medieval, a interesting combination but one that works amazingly, and the use of colors, interesting plants and lanterns almost have a same steam-punk affect which transitioned nicely from Nemo Sim.

Forest of Shadow was amazing, there was so much to see! I loved the magical / mystical feel of it, a dark and ethereal forest, HUGE props to those who designed it, amazing! It might just be my favorite of the three Fantasy Faire sims I looked at in this batch.
