Raglan Shire Medieval Ball 2015

One of the highlights of September's Medieval Fest in Raglan Shire is the medieval ball. I've been coming to these for years now. Lady Fluffytail has to make an appearance, you know?

 It's always nice seeing so many tinies there!

 And Zayn was DJing for us from on the Carrot Throne! Nom!

On Being A Tiny in SL

Here I am all dressed up for Raglan's Hanami Festival that was held all this month. Cherry blossoms everywhere! The Commons was transformed. So pretty!

Recently Lunar told me "You are so content as a tiny." I was like "How could I not be?"

I have been a tiny in SL since 2007. I spend just as much time in tiny form as I do humanoid. One of the reasons is the tiny community itself. Raglan is not only one of the happiest places in SL, but consists of one of its strongest, most creative communities. It might be filled with small critters, but we get things DONE. It is strong. It is vibrant. It is successful. It is fun. And it is filled with active citizens. I am proud to consider myself one of them.

All of any size (or species) are welcome to join the fun, but Raglan definitely protects its creatives and the interests of the sims itself. Tinycentric, you might say, but it works. It is a community that supports itself and its citizens. At a time when I am seeing so many communities closing and dwindling, Raglan continues to engage and be engaging.

I love you Raglan Shire and I love being a tiny. Wafflelujah!

Rezzable Garden of NPIRL Delights Open!

I sat perched upon our creation waiting for the time for the Rezzable Garden of NPIRL Delights to finally open to the public! Based upon Hieronymous Bosch's "Garden of Earthly Delights" (one of my absolute fave pieces), the Festival features some of SL's best creators and scripters. Around 12:05 SLT I was amazed as it was as if the sims fairly exploded with green dots! It was so incredibly exciting to see!Madcow Cosmos and I were both excited and had fun watching people going by. Remember Madcow, the HUD is the navigation-challenged's friend!
My build with Kheph, the "Tower of Industrial Judgement", is inspired by the "Earth" central panel of the triptych. My concept was that of a "aethereal steampunk tower" and we thought of man, technology, and the Tower of Babel. Kheph and I ran with that, making it a truly collaborative build, both of us adding onto it and surprising each other. Madcow asked me my fave part of it. I love building the fishie, the scales, and oddly enough...these walkways and platforms that I think give it a certain delicacy...
Fellow artist and Gardener Eshi Otawara came over and ended up trying out the swinging wrecking ball. Her dress has this unbelievably beautiful texture...
But I am already finding that a crowd favorite is high in the sky...my flying fishie, based upon the painting and my late fighting fish Magic. Please come and visit the Festival! You will not be disappointed!
