Halloween Ball at Crystal Castle
Hello everyone,
I am so very excited - I spent the day shopping and found the most wonderful gown to wear to the Halloween Ball at Crystal Castle. It was hard to choose from so many elegant gowns, but like any Fairy, I really enjoyed trying them all on as I made my decision!
First I went to Fairy Aurora’s “Moonbeam Magic” down at Feathery Road. She makes some of the most gorgeous gowns in Fairyland. I tried on a beautiful pink gown that had pale purple faux-phoenix feathers along the bottom of the skirt. I was worried that the feathers might make Penelope (my Pegasus) sneeze, so I decided against that one. So I tried on a stunning silver spider-web silk dress that had a top made of real butterflies, so it shimmered as they all flapped their wings. I must say here, that all of the butterflies are very happy to be a part of this magnificent dress and are treated very fairly with their workplace agreement. I thought that the blue of the butterfly wings didn’t match my eyes, so I moved on to the next shop.
I dropped into Fairy Sirena’s “Gowns R Us”, and I saw it as soon as I walked in! Floating in the corner of the shop, about half a metre above the ground, was THE most beautiful gown I have ever seen in the whole of my 441 years of life. It was, oops, IS stunning! It has a big fluffy skirt that my arms cannot reach around, made from brightly coloured Fairy Floss! It has orange and yellow and red and pale green and blue and pink and purple, all fading from one colour to the next. When I turn around in it, the bits that you thought were blue, become pink, and the bits that looked yellow, turn red. It’s rather magical I think. Fancy that! A dress made from Fairy Floss!
With my magnificent gown in hand, I needed to find a fabulous pair of shoes. At King Neptune’s Shoe Emporium, I found a pair of glass slippers, not unlike the ones Cinderella has, and I decided that they would be perfect. These ones have dewdrops stuck to the heel so they catch the light and glimmer when I am walking. (A girl needs a bit of bling!) I also saw a lovely clamshell handbag while I was there, but I thought it might get stuck to the Fairy Floss on my dress, so I’ve decided to go without a bag a all!
All I need now to complete my outfit is a stylish pair of earrings, which I’ll look for tomorrow and because it’s a Halloween ball, I’ve decided to wear my “Jack-o-lantern” necklace, so I don’t need to find any more ‘accessories’. How exciting! I wonder what all the other Fairies will be wearing!
Fairy Hugs,
The Fairy Queen
