Wishing for a Cure


Fantasy Faire is an annual event in Second Life that has been happening for 12 years. This year it lasts from April 23rd until May 10th. The Faire is a showcase of original builds, amazing avatars, and talented creators who come together in support of the American Cancer Society. Last year's Faire raised $68,000.

A good part of this amount comes from shopping at the Faire. Percentages of the price of certain items are set aside as donations. There are also donation kiosks and fund raising events. I'm going to be doing a series about what I find at the Faire.


This photo was taken at Fairlands Junction. My inspiration for the outfit was Akira Kurosawa's film, "Throne of Blood", which was an adaptation of "MacBeth". I particularly liked the witch character, and that she wore white. I chose this lovely kimono with long loose hair, then tried it with a headdress and with a hat. The kimono comes in a variety of colors and consists of three pieces. It is from Ade yakko [Ay]. The headdress in the picture at the very top comes in silver and gold and has color change flowers. Stars sparkle around your head and glowing strands swirl behind you. The second hat looks very plain until you click it. Then flowers bloom on top and petals fly around your head. Both are from Air. In the top photo, I'm also wearing fantasy makeup from LuluB! These items are all at Fantasy Faire now:
