Petites Kingdom

In my previous post about Petites last week, I mentioned the Petite Avatar Kingdom on the Yabu sim where you can purchase all sorts of things to transform yourself into a beautiful petite avatar. Well, now the Petite avatar community is getting bigger by the day so with the help of some very talented folks a new Petites Kingdom will open its doors this Saturday, September 29th @ 12pm slt, starting with a crystal hunt and then celebrations starting at 3pm slt continuing till 9pm slt. If you are a blogger and interested in blogging this event, feel free to fill out this Petites Kingdom Sim Preview and Hunt Registration (blogger application).

I have been spending quite a bit of time there the past few days, taking these images, meeting and interacting with the people involved in this project and I have to say they have been so friendly, welcoming and helpful. A special thank you to Elizabeth Tinsley and Alia Baroque for going out of their way to make me feel welcomed and explaining everything to me. I am going to copy paste the press release after the rest of the images in this post so you guys have all the full details. You can also find more images that I took at Petites Kingdom on my flickr stream.

Petites Kingdom Press Release:

In January 2012, the first Petites shyly ventured into our world. Curious creatures by nature they were fascinated by our world and quickly captivated the hearts of those they encountered. Offered land for an embassy by Yabusaka Loon, the Petites set up a home, only to quickly outgrow it. Thanks to the quick minds of Alia Baroque, Sharni Azalee, and Marcus Inkpen, a larger space was built for the burgeoning Petites community, but as more and more Petites came to explore our world even this new larger garden paradise began to seem too small.

After much thinking and planning by their friends, it was decided that the Petites must have a place of their own in our world, a place to come together to share their community with one another and with the people who had so warmly welcomed them to this new world.

Ringed by mountains, a lake as smooth as glass waits poised to reflect the silhouettes of the nine floating islands of the Petite Kingdom. A portal was created above the lake linking our worlds together. Five islands made the journey from the Petites’ world to ours before the magic that powers the portal ran out. It was meant to be recharged with the magic crystals gathering from the caverns of the Crystal Mine. Unfortunately the airship that came to pick up the supply of crystals and transport them to the portal was hit by a stray wind current that flipped it upside down spilling the magic crystals all over the Petites Kingdom.

Now, with half the islands of the Petite Kingdom here and half on the other side of the portal, we need your help! We need you to come and help us gather up the missing magic crystals so we can refuel the portal and bring the rest of the petite islands into our world. The Petites, always a very hospitable race of creatures believe highly that work and play should go hand in hand so wish to make the task of gathering the lost crystals an enjoyable one. Thus, we invite you, out friends, to come and discover the new Petite Kingdom on Saturday, September 29. Come and help us retrieve the missing crystals and stay to help us celebrate the Petites new home with music, dancing and possible surprises!

Important Information:

Please join us for The Crystal Hunt and Welcoming Celebrations on Saturday, September 29 @ Noon SLT. The hunt will start at noon SLT with celebrations starting at 3pm SLT and going until 9pm SLT. Big or small all are welcome!
