Seeking Cinderella's Shoes

 Our second top was the splendid region by Debbie Edwards and Ferd Frederix, called Snowgarde, which is based on Cinderella.
            The visit begins with Fairy Godmother providing you with your own pumpkin-based horse drawn coach. Next, you ride up along a roadway that curls around the castle like a tail. 
This is a great way to see who's a good driver, and who isn't...
I thought I was a terrible driver, until I saw Lucy Afarensis take her ride up over a bunch of rocks, off the belvedere... finally she rode right into the castle to the place where the Glass Slipper is on display.   The castle is themed as if Cinderella's romance is a lovingly remembered tradition, making it a place of serenity as well as delight. There's a lot going on here, so take your time to explore, or you may miss the orrery...
.... or the beautiful harp, seen here being played by Pathfinder Lester. I guess the music was so relaxing, George Equus just couldn't resist taking a nap! Someone give him a shake! WizardOz, you're standing right there, you do it!
Naturally I showed up shoeless, hoping that a glass slipper or two could be sourced on this grid. Opensim is such a great place for freebies... however in the end the little details of the region distracted me so I went home barefoot after all.
Debbie's stylish and witty rooms are enlivened by great NPCs and of course scripts by the scriptmeister, who's also such a Blender fiend, bringing to life all kinds of treasures, as well as modding up items found on other grids or online.
There's plenty to see in the great edifice, including some table dancers!
Our gracious hosts showed us the best time, with much dancing going on, and laughter. So much on these regions is copyable, which means, you get to bring home the items you enjoy, and integrate them into works of your own creativity.

Surely, the Outworldz is the greatest resource for opensim - think of their amazing website https://www.outworldz.com/, full of scripts, oars, single items like furniture, houses, and vehicles; there are resources like a online radio station list, seamless textures - not to mention the dreamworld one click opensim installer that lets you have a little grid on your own computer with relative ease.
So much to be thankful for, and to enjoy from these wonderful creators... and there joy of exploration never ceases! Happy gridhopping!
