Random Pictures

Here is a picture of me dancing on Easter Weekend with an old friend, Hevy Malibu, and the Funky Feats. I have to dance twice as fast to keep up.



Isn't this furrball just adorable? He has these big, sad, orange eyes. I had to become tiny in order to dance with him.





Here I am in my first latex ever, feeling kind of shy. Wouldn't you feel shy if half your body was exposed?

TIny Silly Me

Being a 4'7" faery has it's problems. Poses and gestures rarely consider my short height so I usually end up lying on the floor or sitting 6" above the chair seat. On the other hand hand, I am the perfect height for sitting on my favorite fuzzball.

There will be a kissing booth at the May Day Celebration in Erebos this year, along with a wedding, the traditional May Pole Dancing and a Bardic Competition. Since the proceeds are to benefit the sim, I volunteered to stand there for a bit. I was very pleased when the carpenter told me she would build a set of pose balls just for me! Now if I can only be sure someone would kiss me. I wouldn't want those pose balls to go to waste....

Being a silly fae has also created some problems this week. One day I was searching for shines and was so distracted by a glint of gold from the hills that I flew into a tree and blacked out. Thank goodness Tori had the presence of mind to carry me (fireman style) to the tavern and ask for help. And Linwe took care of me, healing me and warning Tori to watch out that I didn't fall asleep for a while so as not to go into a coma!

Being fae, I recover quickly, and we were playing hide and seek the next night. I was in my very special hiding place (and no, I won't tell you where it is) when Tori fell down a hill while he was looking for me and landed in the Queen's Pool. He must have hit his head because he couldn't find his way out and drowned. I flew to the village to find a healer and Linwe came back with me to see if she could help. Linwe is very clever and she located him, and pulled him out of the water. She did a spell and resurrected him, so he lived again. But that drowning has affected him strangely. He tried to talk me into giving him my pouch of shinies. I might have considered it if he had not been acting so strangely. After all, he is a friend and I trust him completely. But when the dragons accused me of pushing him in and called me a trouble maker, he had agreed with them, so I was sure he was not in his right mind. I followed after him as he wandered to the tavern and while looking for some tea, he fell down, three times. And the last time he rose, he did not know who he was or who I as or where he was. He finally went upstairs to sleep and I haven't seen him since. I hope he is all right.

Everything's Coming Up Daisies...

I just love gifts, especially unexpected ones. I woke up in the middle of the night with a migraine, took some medication and logged in to SL to while away the 30 minutes it would take for the meds to work. What a delightful surprise to find that a friend had sent an animation for making a Daisy Chain! And even more delightful to find an old Daisy Chain wreath for my hair when I searched inventory. You know how it goes, things get lost in that big ole closet. And then I remembered a set of fairy silks that I could never stretch small enough to fit my petite 4'7" size as a faery. And, you guessed, they were attached to Daisies! So I got busy with a set of resize scripts that I have and made them fit! Of course, I had to move all the flowers around to cover the "bits" I didn't want sticking out and that took me about an hour. So.... now I have Daisy silks, Daisy Wreath and the perfect animation to sit and make more! See you in world!


If you look closely, you will see that I am munching on a mermaid. I caught it last night and got hungry....

Story Telling at Erebos

One of the most fun traditions in Erebos is the story telling hour. We hold it around the fire pit and hear poems, stories and songs that speak of other times as well as the current one (in Erebos.) It is similar to the Bardic Circles held by my medieval reenactment group. I sometimes contribute by retelling old folk tales as Emy would have heard them from her granny, who was a wise woman in both the traditional and and contemporary sense of the words. I was very surprised this week, however, when the poem I heard from Linwe, the Elven Elder and Shaman, spoke of me and my first attempt to assist in a battle, even though I was a non-combatant. I very proudly present it here for you. We fought to recover the babies that had been stolen from Erebos, and these babes represented the future and well being of Erebos. For a time after they were stolen, the land was angry and began a slow withdrawal of some of the magic. Emy could not fly in the thick, oppressive air and her glamour had begun to fail. That is why she took such an interest in the battle even though she is a peaceable little fae. This was an outrage that affected her deeply....

A little fairy flew the land
A big bright spoon in tiny hand
She flew with valor, so unplanned
And whopped the foe and then she ran

She flew behind the great brick walls
Hiding there, her face a pall
Of terror born Her skin did crawl
But brave she was and heard the call

Again she rose into the sky
And flew straight at the dark foe's eye
A lure she was, they did espy
Her as she flew, that be no lie!

'Tis just one brave story told
Of those who fought so staunch and bold
Who fought for babes of lore as told
By sages wise and earth so old.

Many fought that day so brave
Their swords and staffs they didst engrave
Upon the hides of those depraved
Who in their hearts did evil crave
