FESTIVAL OF LOVE

FESTIVAL OF LOVE

Report by Jophiella Willis

Thank you everyone for a most wonderful weekend, I am still recovering lol.

Everyone who is wondering what happened to The Best Dressed Hippy Contest, I apologise. It had to be cancelled due to technical problems. I would like to hold it later this week. So do not delete your hippy outfits yet. I have to make arrangements and will let you know.

FireStarr Frye, and Greywolf Frye have created a wonderful dessert oasis, with exotic tents for vendors to display their wares and the dance pads look like pools of cool inviting water with a palm grove growing out of it. The area has a calm serene feel that is so pleasant for shopping and with new and fabulous vendors its the perfect place to while away a few moments looking for that special something like the earrings I got from Earth Stones, and the psychedelic outfit and posters I got from The Vibe.
Red Rock has a wonderful Slide show and some cute freebies and that's not all.

Saturday we enjoyed the space provide for our enjoyment on Matara provided by Manon and Mystic Academy. It was a lovely setting and I put out a collection of photos and album art from the 60's era up the hill. StarRose put out a tub for those who wished to recreate the water fun at Woodstock. We seemed to be in our own mini Woodstock world. Having so much fun and creating the love. I must say the settings added to the wonderful feeling, with so much beauty freely shared.

Saturday night we wrapped up the day's festivities with a dance, we spent a great time listening to 60's and 70's music that Greywolf streamed for us dancers as we closed the night and looked forward to the next day, I have to say it was one of the best days I have had on SL.

And Sunday well what can I say… more of the same!!!

I want to say a special thank you to the entertainers Lailu, Nance, Moxy and Lauren, you guys put on a great show with material pulled from your experiences on SL shared with such gusto and feeling, it was magic.

I would also like to thank everyone who helped organize the event and worked on it with us the core committee: myself Jophiella Willis, StarRose Merlin, Denon Kanto who tried valiantly to herd the cats, Lailu Loon who organized the live entertainers, the artists who contributed original pieces to decorate the site: Hermes Kondor and Leou Aeon, Clis Mizser who rounded up resources for us, FireStaar Frye and Greywolf Frye for DJing and their wonderful new shopping area, I am sure that they had help from friends to get it ready on time who we appreciate too.
Manon Clary for DJing and to Mara Mureaux for being her right hand woman as the festivities came to an end on Sunday night, and others who contributed in small ways like Lizzy Renard who provided the daisy we gave out. I know I am leaving people out because we had so much help in so many ways that saved us a huge amount of time and energy. AND I would like to thank all the people who came and enjoyed the love in with us, who gave kind words of encouragement and support. I count it as a big success. We are great lovers, people!!! YAY!!!
