Fantasy plays a significant role in our Second Life existence.  Whether we flit about as fairies, jump around as animals, have teeth that shine like vampires, or re-enact the story of Gor, the fun and excitement of fantasy roleplay surrounds us.  Not all of us roleplay, in fact, I rarely do. And I’m a rather benign roleplayer as I’ve never felt that I could excel at what would interest me the most – para-roleplaying. But I still enjoy the world of fantasy and the events that bring some beautiful and interesting clothes, poses, props, and more to help us re-enact just about any story.

This month I found myself walking around the Enchantment event and then over to The Secret Affair.  The theme for this round at Enchantment is Thumbelina.  I remember being a child and reading about little Thumbelina and wondering just how a girl could be so small. I’d wonder how she made it from her little acorn bed, nearly marrying a toad’s son then being pushed to marry a mole she escapes on the back of a sparrow to a land where she finally finds her prince – just her size!  Upon their wedding, she receives wings so she is able to happily fly from flower to flower. Thumbelina met many possible perils, but stays sweet, giving and helpful – such the life of a fairy-tale girl the size of my thumb.

For the Thumbelina round of Enchantment, ROQUAI brings a pose prop that is beautiful, fun and perfect !  This pose prop is an oversized flower and comes in white, pink, and red.  There are 5 pose options and the flower will also give a full perm shape to help your avi fit the prop perfectly.  I also stopped by The Secret Affair and found this cute little outfit from N-Uno which works perfectly with the Plastik Wings I found in my inventory and the cute hair from Tableau Vivant found at this month’s Collabor88.

.. if this love’s not meant to be ..

 

She moves gracefully down the stairs. Her eyes focused on finding the quickest way to the door. The night had not gone as planned but does it ever? The guy seemed so charming on paper, via instant and text messaging. Was her ability to recognize the signs so disabled due to the hurt of the past?  Or was this one just that kind of jerk that can play the game so well?  At least she has learned to arrange for her own transportation and can make the very needed escape…back to her cozy safe cocoon…

.. can’t find paradise ..

I’ve been upside down
I don’t wanna be the right way round
Can’t find paradise on the ground

All we do is hide away
All we do is, all we do is hide away
All we do is chase the day
All we do is, all we do is chase the day

All we do is play it safe
All we do is live inside a cage
All we do is play it safe
All we do, all we do

I was so happy to see the return of “Small Town Green” to the grid. Just as in the past, change happens often and it is so much fun to explore to see what is new and changed.
