Fae/Angel/Mer Dance

This has been a project to pull together! This event was planned by a Mermaid who used to be Fae. She had a vision of fae & angel swooping over trees in Aglarond. She also had a vision of Merfolk "dancing" in the same fashion (but under water). After explaining that mer dances are very different from those for bipeds, AND that I could not work two dance huds at once, we came to a compromise. I will choreograph dances for the bipeds and include as many "air" dances as I can. I will also provide a "chim" full of mer dances. So tonight I bought the cutest little seahorse for a chim and added 25 mer dances to it, for a total of 27 dances. While the mer chim will not be as much fun as a choreographed dance, there is still plenty of variety so the mer won't be bored (I hope).

We are holding this event in Elvendale on a piece of land owned by Klara, the mer I was speaking of. She has built a pond to accommodate the merfolk. And I have begun to landscape the "meadow" with trees and mushrooms. I am pleased with the result so far, but I am nowhere near finished; I want to add lots of flowers and bushes and more trees so it looks like a clearing in a forest, but still maintain the ability to cam around.

I will be working with DJ TinaMarie Beck, one of only two I know who could handle the music assignment. And she has decided to dress as a drow. I only hope she doesn't scare off most of the fae!

Weekend Plans

There is just not enough time to do all I want to do anymore. First of all, I have 3 bookings for dance: 6-8 tonight at Ot's Celtic set, 1-2 tomorrow at La Scala for 007 Hour and 2.30 - 4.30 at Rick's (not sure of theme yet). On Saturdays I usually go to Celtic Sunrise (9-11) at the Drunken Drow. Then I go to story hour at the SS Galaxy; Shandon Loring is an expert story teller and I love his Irish accent! And of course from 7-9, I need to visit the Pink Rose to listen to DJ Winston who does awesome blues. I always feel so mellow after listening to him.

Treasure Quest has it's monthly Challenge Hunt this weekend and I know it will take me forever, so I will probably TP all over SL in search of goodies both Saturday and Sunday mornings. I need to search for some "air" dances suitable for fae, angels and merfolk. Hehe - I hope tips are good this weekend. And I need to catch up on freebie shopping. I have a butterfly av I want to play with (where do butterflies go anyway?) and I want to fly my dragon again. It has been a couple of months since she was out and about. Whew! what a great weekend it will be if I can do it all.

Grandparents


I just had to share this charming picture! Grandfather Tori is very dour (does he know how to smile?) but Grandmother Emy loves him anyway.
I am wearing Tea Time from M'Lady. Don't ask where the kilt is from - I really don't know. The Picture was taken on the grounds of La Scala which is truly worth visiting. Walk hand in hand along the sea and find many lovely places to hide from the world!
