That’s right everyone - the Fairy Queen mounted Basil the bull at the Brisbane Ekka this week and rode him around the Enchanted Forest! Whoever thought they”d see a fairy on a bull? These wonderous things can only happen at the Ekka!

Check out the video here:

Stay tuned for more Ekka fun and games!

The Enchanted Forest will once again ring with the ROARING, LOUD, FUN FILLED voices of the faires from Fairy Queen Productions!

Come and say hi - we’ll be there on people’s day (Wednesday) rocking the house (oops, sorry, forest) and roaming all over the place spreading the fairy love. We’ll also be in the main parade, so come and say hi, grab a free pass the parcel ticket (for our party bookings) and let us grant you some fabulous fairy wishes!

See you at the Ekka!

Hey fabulous fairy friends,

We had SO much fun at the fair and there was a great turn out! We wandered amongst friends, and then did a fairy-tastic half hour interactive performance on the main stage. We also got to show off (and demonstrate in our own fairy way) the items that were up for auction.

Our favourite honourary friend Finn travelled down with his family, especially to see us and he even took some great photos for us. You will find them below, along with the fabulous photos Fairy Floss took for us. (I’ll tell you all about Finn in our next blog installment!)

Come and say hi - we’d love to see you there. Let’s see who can go on the most rides and yell the loudest (tee hee).

Hello lovely Fairy Friends!

Well, well, what a fabulous Fairy Festival we had. It tired me out soooo much, it’s taken me a week to get enough energy back to be able to write all about it! (Plus, I’ve had to clean up lots after the party!)

So let me tell you all about it. The afternoon of the festival was a very busy one. Crystal, Blossom, and I ran around putting all the finishing touches on the decorations. Stardust’s Pixie orchestra arrived as we were threading the pink tulle around the chairs, and one of the pixies (Lulu I think her name was) got her wings stuck in a bit of the tulle, but JubJub the elf helped her out of it. We watched Fairy Floss bring out all her goodies - she must have been in her fairy kitchen for a week preparing the feast! I couldn’t resist sneaking a little of the Pistachio fairy floss - and oh boy was it good! I brought out the Sunshine Smarties and Blossom just went crazy (she loves them) and I had to stop her from diving into the big bowl and rolling all around in them! Fairy Raine bought along her grandmothers Cloud Juice, and she handed a crystal teacup to each of us to try - just to make sure she had added enough pearl dust. We all agreed it was the BEST Cloud Juice we had ever tasted.

Petal arrived with the fireflies - it was their job to light the stage during her dance routine and she got them all organised. Seashell bought Mermaid Takumi along to introduce to us - so she would know everyone by the time the festival began. I tested Rainbow’s Fairy Fizz Bomzles and they seemed like they were going to work very well indeed, but it was still daylight and so I couldn’t see what colours they were going to be - you really need to test bomlzes against the night sky to see the colours, but I just didn’t have time the night before.

It seemed like everything was pretty much ready - so I went back to Crystal Castle to have a dewdrop bubble bath and get ready for the big night ahead. I got dressed in my gown that I had made especially for the festival (oh who am I kidding, we Fairies get a new gown made for each and every event in Fairyland!). My gown was made from duckdown - that’s the soft part underneath the feathers from white ducks. All the ducks in Fairyland had been collecting down for me for the whole month and so we had lots and lots to make my dress with. It was the softest, most delicate dress I think I have ever worn, and it was a little fluffy as well! Once or twice during the night, a duckdown feather would float out of my dress, and would generally land somewhere near my nose and tickle me so I would sneeze. All the fairies thought this was funny as when I did sneeze, more feathers would fly out of my dress and make me sneeze even more. Maybe a dress from duckdown wasn’t the best idea (I sneezed LOTS) but at least I was warm and cosy as the night ended up quite cool.

So, the festival itself - let me tell you, I think it was the very best May Day Festival of Fairies that I have ever been to (well, in the last 400 years at least!). Stardust’s pixie orchestra played all our favourite tunes and we were amazed at how wonderfully she had trained the night stars to perform in time with her music. They jumped this way and that, and every now and then, one would go shooting far off into the night sky. Maybe you saw some of this if you were out looking at the stars that night, it can be hard to miss a shooting star as they go whizzing past. (Stardust tells me you should always wish on a shooting star as they generally grab the wish as they fly past). Rainbow set off her Fairy Fizz Bomzles then, and oh my, the colours were spectacular! There was sunshine yellow, rocket red, hot pink (just for Petal and Blossom), perfect purple, bright blue and of course, our favourite multi-coloured rainbow bomzle at the end. Fairy Princess Sparkles jumped a little when it started - something about an incident the year before, but I wasn’t entirely sure what that was all about. She appeared to enjoy the display though and I heard her afterwards telling Rainbow how great it all was. Next on the program was the African Fairies Traditional Tribal Flight - it was truly amazing. They formation flew and created all different African animals in the sky. I saw a giraffe, an elephant, a cheetah and my most favourite was when they formed the shape of a wildebeest. Just amazing work! Stardust’s orchestra played tribal drum beats throughout their display and it created the most wonderful atmosphere.

Next came Seashell’s mermaids singing “Shimmer Shimmer Ocean Glimmer” with Mermaid Takumi doing a special duet harmony with Seashell. They sounded incredible, their voices really did give us happy goosebumps, just like Seashell said they would! Mermaid Takumi was very impressed with Fairy Floss’s sushi as well - I heard her asking Floss for her recipe a little later in the night (way to go Flossy!). Next came Petal’s dance routine. Just as it started, all the tulips, snapdragons and bluebells opened up and the thousands of fireflies that Petal had organised earlier, flew out and lit the stage as bright as Rainbow’s brightest bomzle! Petal led all the Fairy Princesses of Crystal Castle in a dance called “I’m Bringing Fairy Back”. I haven’t seen such a funky dance routine since Petal did her “Summer Flight” for the Fairies of Timberlake Lodge back in August of 2004. I was so proud of my Fairy Princesses. It was obvious that they all put a lot of time and effort into the routine and I heard the LA Fairies talking about some form of movie offer…. fingers crossed for them all.

Hello Fairy Queen and all my Fairy friends!

For now my Fairy Queen I bid you farewell! Have a ‘Fairy’ happy day!

Hi to all my gorgeous fairy friends!

I am so excited for Fairyland’s May Day Festival. It is always such fun! This year I am in charge of creating magical Fairy fizz bomzles that will explode in the night sky. They are so beautiful to watch and if I make them correctly, I’m sure there won’t be any mishaps this year. I’m still not sure if Sparkles has forgiven me for the time I put too much butterfly dust in the mixture and it exploded all over her and her beautiful dress! Whoops! Not this year though. The Fairy Queen kindly said she would test the bomzles for me. (tee hee).

I have also been busy practicing the funky dance routine that Fairy Princess Petal has been teaching all of the Fairies. In fact, we have another rehearsal with Petal this afternoon. I even went to the shops this morning and bought the coolest pair of fluoro pink and blue leg warmers from Jewel’s Jazz Junk. I LOVE that place. Petal is always shopping there too. Today she was in buying a bright pink leotard – probably for this afternoon’s rehearsal.

Well I had better get dressed into my oh so groovy leotard and leg warmers and make my way to Petal’s dance studio. It is quite a long flight from my castle and my Pegasus Breeze is a little under the weather at the moment – the poor thing - so I will have to fly myself there. I do hope she is better for the festival as she will be performing on the first day. Fairy Princess Crystal, being Defender of the Pegasii in Fairyland, has told me that a brew of blue fairyfloss and yellow acorns is just the thing Breeze needs. So I will pick that up from Crystal at rehearsal. Best be off now. Don’t want to be late! Petal makes me do extra stretches if I’m late! Love to all! I will hopefully see you at the festival!

Luv Rainbow xxoxx
