There I am in The Dragonspire, I’ve avoided Goblins, Pixies, Dragons, evil overlords and am just about to make my escape when a voice hisses “Oi, Where do you think you’re going?<\/em>” I look around, and can make out a shape in the shadows of a store called The Golden Thorn….. “I haven’t seen you since the days of the XStreetSL forums, oh and here.<\/em>” a large pack looms out of the dark and I catch it, written on it are the words “Bloggers Pack<\/strong>“…. “Do it!<\/em>” hisses the voice, then the shape disappears from view.<\/p>\n

There’s something familiar about the cat like way this person appeared and disappeared, hmmmm, wait wait wait, it’s Thorn Witrial! However too late, Thorn has gone, now and I’m left unpicking this riddle…. well opening the bloggers pack at least.<\/p>\n

I concentrate hard and using all my wizard like powers manage to sumon Thorn back, Thorn appears, looking a little shaken and I demand that Thorn tell us something about the store and the avatar behind it:<\/p>\n

“I am the owner and creator for The Golden Thorn, a shop that sells fantasy jewelry, silks, sculpture and roleplaying props. I’ve been in SL for five years, and find it a perfect place to express myself and think it is an unparalleled place for creativity and opportunities to appreciate people for who they are, absent of ‘real world’ factors (like looks, physical disability or geography) out of their control, that obscure the brilliance of their spirits.<\/em>”<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

“Do you have anything new for Fantasy Faire?” I ask Thorn.<\/p>\n

“Star Burst Silks! When you wear them, you, or anyone, can click on the stars and they EXPLODE in a shower of colorful sparks and mystical chimes!, here’s some photos.<\/em>” enthuses Thorn.<\/p>\n

“That one’s a bit skimpy” I observe!<\/p>\n

“OMG!”<\/p>\n

“Shhhh!<\/em>” Says Thorn.<\/p>\n

“Ah that one is more up my street” I say, Thorn frowns.<\/p>\n

“They are Interactive, as I said earlier if you were paining attention Wizard.<\/em>” Thorn informs me.<\/p>\n

I’m still a bit shell shocked by it all.

Thorn has other items around at the Fantasy Faire store as well as extra items at the main store, including items that you don’t expect to see but are delighted when you do!<\/p>\n
