Fairy Names

GreenDream is...
Buttercup Elfglitter
She is a cheerful sprite.
She lives in clover fields where fairy rings grow.
She is only seen in the light of a shooting star.
She wears bright clover green. She has delicate green wings like a cicada.
Whoa, very nice. x3

BlueBetch is...
Gossamer Demonwand
She is a wicked and mischievous child.
She lives in spiderwebbed wonderlands and insect grottos.
She is only seen when the seer holds a four-leafed clover.
She wears tiny black spiders on her dresses. She has red wings like a brightly coloured butterfly.
Almost right. Not blue, and she tends to avoid spiders, but does like the goth scene. She's also a bit of a bug. :P

VioletVibe is...
Buttercup Reedfilter
She is a panpipe player and enchantment singer.
She lives in clover fields where fairy rings grow.
She is only seen on midsummer's eve.
She wears bright clover green. She has gentle green butterfly wings.
Again, not quite there. :\ She is certainly sweet and looks melodic.

VV's man is...
Moth Beamfilter
He is a light bringer and enlightener.
He lives close to crystal caverns and stalagtite grottos.
He is only seen on midsummer's eve.
He collects crystals to wear on his clothes. He has bright lemon coloured wings like a cicada.
I'd say fairly close, save for the yellow.

BB's man is...
Water Elffilter
He is a cheerful sprite.
He lives near bubbling brooks where Lords and Ladies and Cuckoo's Pint grow.
He is only seen on midsummer's eve.
He wears deep blue clothes. He has delicate green wings like a cicada.
Not really accurate, since he's more windy.

GD's man is...
Feather Elffilter
He is a cheerful sprite.
He lives in high places where the clouds meet the earth.
He is only seen on midsummer's eve.
He wears pale blue like the sky. She has delicate green wings like a cicada.
Seems likes the last two got mixed up. :P

And this one is mine:

Your fairy is called Buttercup Hailfly
She is a protector of the lonely.
She lives in clover fields where fairy rings grow.
She is only seen at midday under a quiet, cloudless sky.
She wears bright clover green. She has cheery turquoise wings like a butterfly.

FlickR - The Epic Sage of Irritation

From GreenD:

[Official Topic] Group Administration Changes

Hi there-

With the launch of Video on Flickr, there are some changes on how you can administer your group, and decide what content you would like to be able to have in the pool. If you have questions about how this will work, please post away!

Revised FAQ on group administration

What they're not telling you is all the group shave been set so that only "safe" content is added to groups until Admins are made aware.

Again, no heads-up. I am looking for a new place to post my stuff. XP

NO! THE SAFETY SEARCH IS OUT TO GET ME!

From Green:
Err, yeah... Once again, FlickR is annoying me. First it was the whole "unsafe account" rating, now even I set something to moderate, so many groups automatically will not allow it in. :|

I guess this is what I get for using a public area. I should try using deviantART again. I may or may not revive my old account; we'll see.

And here is the little naked fairy that is causing me grief. As you can see, nothing is actually showing, but it's clear she's naked. Nifty optical illusion though, huh? No actual photoshopping beyond resizing and cropping. The wings are by Jen Shikami of Seven's Selections, and not only does she have beautiful quality, but there is a wide variety and many different options. There are realistic wings (for the feathered and membraned), fanciful (using fish fins for flight), and mindblowing (ranging from neon-luminescent to steel blades to steam-punk). I hope to do a more thorough review in the future, as a mini-rant post is just not the place. :P

Edit: I have found a way around things, but I'm keeping my lips closed. Yes, things are still moderate. And yes, I'm still unhappy with FlickR.

Silks of Silks of SL Beauty of the Month - March Entry

A soft breeze kicks up off the ocean, rustling through the green palms and her emerald strands as the woman's gaze stares out over the tropical horizon. This moment, this gem of time, is all hers.

From GreenDream:
First time entering the contest for the blog Silks of SL. Really wanted to stay true to my green roots (yay for March having Saint Patrick's Day!) and play with something warm. When it comes to silks, I'm also a tad picky- I want to be attractive, possibly even flaunt my avatar's shape and skin, but I don't want something that could be read as, "Hi, I'm a slave." That is why I love the full Kadin set: there is silk-y style and a bold, fully-pants outfit.

And hey, I won! XD

Tune in soon when I will post my April entries. that's right, there will be two.

CoLA : March Fist of Fury Part I


Don't mind the frame, it's the best for this one as it doesn't obscure any of the images.
