Director’s Welcome
LINDA O’BRIEN, DIRECTOR
WELCOME TO
CAROL TEDESCO
Fantasy
Fest 2015
ALL HALLOWS INTERGALACTIC
FREAK SHOW!
W
hether this is your
first visit to Fantasy
Fest or your 36th,
we know you’ll find things new
and thrilling during 10 days that
are unlike any others all year.
Jump in and join thousands of
magical, haunted, interstellar freaks and have
an out-of-this-world experience. It’s always
thrilling – and inspiring for next year – to see
the truly innovative costumes, masks, parade
floats, entertainers and other forms of creativity
on display.
If you don’t already have a special costume
or two, you’ll find all sorts of options available
from our local merchants. And once you are
4
disguised to stand out or blend in with the
zany crowd, show off your new look at some
of the many costume contests going on during
Fantasy Fest. You could win fun prizes and
coveted bragging rights.
With 50 events including, but not limited
to Irish Kevin’s annual party celebrating the
80’s, a Star Wars-themed burlesque, a couple
of over-the-top pool parties, an indoor beach
party, the always popular Pet Masquerade,
several opportunities to show off your moves
under black lights, a Street Fair that ramps
up the excitement on Duval and a kids’
costume contest during Children’s Day, there is
something for everyone.
Highlights this year include the 33rd Annual
Headdress Ball, which is moving to a new
night (Thursday), a new, larger location at the
Truman Waterfront, and increasing its top prize
to $3,000. Always an impressive show, this year
the Headdress Ball promises to be one for the
record books.
Many Fantasy Fest events benefit local
nonprofits, offering truly unique ways to support
important community needs while having a
fabulous time. Consider checking out the Royal
Coronation Ball, which benefits AIDS Help, or one
of the other charitable and fun events happening
this year.
None of the parties – none of the fun – could
happen without the hard work of the island’s local
residents and businesses, the help and support
of our neighbors throughout the Florida Keys or
without the generosity of our fantastic sponsors.
Notice the Official Fantasy Fest Sponsor posters
hanging in local businesses and let them know
you’re having a good time and appreciate their
part in making Fantasy Fest happen.
We are grateful to all our
sponsors. Welcome to new sponsor
Fireball Whisky, the Official
Whiskey of Fantasy Fest 2015.
Welcome back to 3Wishes.com,
which is again this year’s parade
title sponsor, as well as to all our
loyal sponsors.
We are pleased to again be
joined by Official Fantasy Fest
sponsors such as Bud Light, Rex Goliath Wines,
Coca-Cola, and an impressive list of movers
and shakers. A special thanks to the people who
help us get the word out, including The Key West
Citizen, Floridakeys.com and Comcast, and to
The Monroe County Tourist Development Council,
which continues to be vital to the success of
Fantasy Fest.
Fantasy Fest would not be the outrageous, but
safe party it is without the hard work of our fire,
ROB O’NEAL/The Citizen
law enforcement and public works personnel. We
count on them to handle anything that 70,000
people and Mother Nature throws their way, and
they’ve never let us down. Thank them for the
work they do, and help them do their jobs by
complying with all of the Fantasy Fest rules and
regulations you will find in this guide.
Along with the amazing professionals,
including the crack team of aliens that staff
the Fantasy Fest office, Fantasy Fest depends
on a fantastic group of men and women
who volunteer their services for the good of
the party. Madness Monitors and Parade
Ambassadors will be along the parade route
and throughout the Street Fair and Promenade
to help keep everyone safe. Please heed their
advice and instructions.
It’s a big job to keep our little slice of paradise
clean. Please utilize the trash and recycling bins
you’ll find throughout the festival area.
We are very proud of our community and invite
you to make our home yours during the next 10
days. Please treat our hometown as you would
your own.
Party responsibly - be polite, have
patience, maintain your sense of humor and
obey all rules while exploring the unique
events we have to offer.
And, remember, nudity is not allowed! If
you utilize the skills of the world-class body
painting artists attending Fantasy Fest, make
sure the application is out of public view,
and you must cover up as you leave the
designated Fantasy Zone. We are the only
city in the world with an ordinance stating
specifically that paint is not considered
clothing; so please make sure all appropriate
areas are covered.
Enjoy all the events of Fantasy Fest 2015,
and take the time to check out our excellent
restaurants, bars, shops and attractions.
Plan to come back and see what we’ve
cooked up for 2016. Tell your friends you
had a spectacular time, but what else you tell
them or don’t is up to you.
— Linda O’Brien, director
Fantasy Fest is grateful for the support of sponsors, including Almond Tree Inn, Best Western
Hibiscus Motel, Boyd’s Key West Campground, Inc., The Citizen, KeysTix.com, Marrero’s Guest

Since opening in 2005, PRIME has quickly
become the premier steakhouse in the Florida Keys.
Impeccably prepared prime beef is the star at PRIME,
cooked to perfection in ovens nearing 1,000 degrees. However, there’s more to Prime
than just great steaks! Locally caught lobster tails, daily fresh fish specials from Key West
fishermen, a nightly pasta special, or a whole yellowtail snapper, deep fried and cleverly
seasoned are just a few of the treats that await the non-carnivores. Chef Kim Quach has
been pleasing palettes in the keys for over ten years and has brought his creativity and
passion to PRIME. Jumbo lump crab cakes, carpaccio of filet mignon, or garlicky escargot
are just a few starters that locals rave about. And don’t forget the Truffled Mac and Cheese,
PRIME’S signature side. Whether you prefer steaks or seafood, we’ve selected wines from
Italy, France and the USA, that will pair perfectly with your dinner. Dine on our terrace or
in our intimate dining room, either way you will enjoy a superior level of service that will
make your dinner at PRIME extraordinary!

At the turn of the 20th century, HRM (His
Royal Majesty) Rex Goliath was the treasured attraction of a
Texas circus. People came from far and wide to behold the 47
lb. bird, billed as the “World’s Largest Rooster.” The Rex-Goliath
label replicates the one-of-a-kind vintage artwork from the circus
banner that hung above Rex’s roost, and we proudly honor Rex
with premium varietal wines.
Rex-Goliath wines are a tribute to Rex’s larger-than-life personality, with bold, fruitforward flavors that are sure to please. In essence, Rex is all about letting BOLD fruit flavors
express themselves in an easy-to-drink, worry-free fashion. Bold Wines. Fun Times. Fantasy

o Space Elephants (Probably) but Pretty
Much Everything Else at annual Fantasy
Fest Street Fair and Street Promenade.
FANTASY FEST STREET FAIR
The Fantasy Fest Street Fair is sure to quench
all of your appetites as it takes over Duval St. on
Friday, October 30. This annual event is never
the same year to year as food vendors, arts
and craftspeople and thirst-quenching libation
stations line Key West’s golden mile. See what
everyone else is doing and come strut your stuff
throughout the day and deep into the night during
this infamous street party.
The Street Fair runs from noon until 10 PM.
If you don’t yet have a costume or need one
more fabulous costume, you’ll have plenty of
options at the Street Fair, where vendors will be
lined up to sell you exotically expressive masks,
glittering face decorations and maybe even the
last few bells and whistles needed for the perfect
ringmaster’s ensemble.
There will be fabulous feathers, luxurious
leather and lace and everything in between. There
are even outfits for your favorite pet. The fair
boasts unique artisans from beautiful handmade
jewelry to fine art. Ask about having your new
treasures shipped home so that your hands stay
free for more shopping.
Just like a circus midway, food and drink will
be everywhere you look from conch salad and
crab cakes to jerk chicken and BBQ ribs along
with a hearty group of Greek and Latin purveyors.
Make sure you stroll the length of the street fair
and sample the old favorites along with some of
the delicious new delights.
Support our local charities and wet your
whistle at one of the five Libation Stations located
throughout the fair on Duval St. The on-street,
sanctioned vendors sporting the Fantasy Fest
logo serve Bud Light beer, mixed drinks featuring
creative coolers and samplings from Rex Goliath
Wines, Fireball Whisky, Coca-Cola, Dasani Water
and Monster Energy Drink. Local non-profits
count on the sales from the libation booths to
support their important civic activities throughout
the year.
The far end of the 700 block features the
Bourbon Street Pub Tea Dance starting at 1 PM.
The heart-pumping amplified music will draw you
from blocks away and the bevy of boys, boas
and beads will keep you rocking at this on-thestreet block party. Look up at the balcony for
one-of-a-kind display of delirious dancers and be
prepared for zingy insults from Key West’s favorite
drag queens.
And, PLEASE, don’t forget to RECYCLE!
Recycling containers donated by Coca-Cola
will be everywhere. Drop your plastic cups and
bottles and paper goods (no food, please) in the
appropriate receptacles and move on into the
revelry with your head held high and your eyes
wide open to the night’s delights.
DUVAL STREET PROMENADE
The Saturday Street Promenade, beginning at
noon on October 31, turns Key West’s delightfully
deviant main drag into a pedestrian thoroughfare,
closing off Duval St. to vehicle traffic so that

visitors, locals and aliens can walk freely and
enjoy the shops and the people watching.
The side streets off Duval will become cuisine
central with food and libation vendors ready to
feed the hungry crowds before, during and after
the 3Wishes.com Fantasy Fest Parade. A group
of our sponsor vendors will set up on lower Duval
Street from noon until 4 PM selling Fantasy Fest
merchandise, offering tastes of Monster Energy
Drink, Fireball Whisky and Rex Goliath wines,
as well as uniquely-flavored cigars to get you
charged up for the night’s spectacle.
As always, the Promenade will feature many
of Key West’s outstanding local performers. With
a wide range of musical styles, Entertainment
Coordinator Gordon Ross promises the music
will help everyone get their interstellar groove on.
“Key West is so full of talent, I could fill three
days, not just three hours, with no trouble at all,”
Ross said.
Two stages will provide an extravaganza of
music and dance from noon until 3:45 PM. Stage
one is located in front of the La Concha Hotel at
430 Duval St. and stage two is in front of the Old
Town Mexican Café at 609 Duval St.
Featured performers will include Melody
Cooper, who again travelled to Spain this
summer to continue enhancing her craft. Cooper
is the keyboardist and lead vocalist for the crowdpleasing Paradise Big Band, which will also play
on the La Concha stage on Saturday.
Jodyrae Campbell, who often exercises her
gorgeous voice at the Aqua Idol contests and
was one of the original Spectrelles, will hit the
Promenade stage. Also at 609 Duval St. will be
local guitarist and vocalist Steve Green and the
Coffee Mill Cultural Center dancers will return with
their high energy dance styles.
Danny Simpson of Private Ear Recording
will provide sound for both stages and bring
his guitar out to help entertain the crowds. The
3Wishes.com Fantasy Fest Parade kicks off at
7 PM and travels up Duval St. for its out-of-thisworld finish.
Fantasy Fest is proud to have amazing sponsors, including:
Aqua, Best Western Key Ambassador, Chicago’s, Bud Light, Fat Tuesday,
Galleon Resort & Marina, Island 107.1 FM, Key West Business Guild, Keys Shuttle,
La Concha Hotel & Spa, Peppers of Key West, Silver Palms Inn and Sunbelt Rentals.
PIER HOUSE
RESORT & SPA
Ideally perched where the bright
blue waters of the Gulf of Mexico meet the vibrance of Duval Street, the Pier House Resort
& Spa is legendary in the Florida Keys. An icon of Key West hospitality, their convenient
location on the edge of Old Town puts you steps away from a private beach and all the
entertainment that makes our island so famous!
The Pier House Resort & Spa offers an array of deluxe guest rooms and spacious suites
that afford all the comforts necessary for a paradise getaway. Many rooms offer private
balconies and the best sunset views of the Gulf on the island. The sensational rooms,
coupled with three on-site restaurants, three bars/lounges, an outdoor swimming pool, and
Key West’s only full-service spa, make the Pier House Resort & Spa the ideal location
for your tropical vacation. Pier House Resort & Spa, One Duval Street, 800-723-2791,

MASQUERADE MARCH
2015
Like all the best aliens, the
Masquerade March has two
heads and a drink in each hand.
Join the hugely popular Fantasy FRIDAY
Fest tradition, known as the local’s OCTOBER 30
parade, highlighting costumes,
creativity and community.
After starting together at the Key West Cemetery
on Frances St., half of the costumed marchers head
for Truman Ave. and the other half turn toward
Fleming St. – proudly marching the wrong way
down that one-way street.
The Masquerade March is a grown-up treat (no
tricks). It’s a moving cocktail & dance party, where
each half of the parade stops at participating guest
houses, which – while supplies last – hands out
complimentary beverages. And for an extra special
treat, the Truman Route stops for a mid-March party
break at the Southernmost Hotel.
One route is led by the Hollywood Band, and the
other by the Junkanoos, both keeping the energy
high as the marchers travel down and around
ending up on Duval St., where the party continues
with the annual Duval Street Fair.

In addition to the up to 10,000 marchers each

– and often the spectators jump in and join the

n Friday, Oct. 30 and Saturday, Oct. 31,
portions of Duval Street and the adjoining
side streets will be designated as the
official Fantasy Zone. The city of Key West will
temporarily suspend the normal open container
law within the Fantasy Zone for these two days
only. From noon to midnight revelers can stroll,
march, prance or do the super shuffle while
sipping libations along Duval Street from Front to
South streets, as well as intersecting cross streets
from Simonton to Whitehead St.
For your safety, cans and glass bottles are not
allowed. Please use only the paper and plastic
cups available at local bars and from vendors.
Of course, thanks to our thoughtful city staff,
all festival-goers may properly dispose of drink
containers in the many recycle bins available at
Fantasy Zone exits.
PORT-O-LETS SPELL RELIEF
Port-o-lets are just about everywhere you
may need to go during the Street Fair, Duval
Street Promenade and 3Wishes.com Fantasy
Fest Parade. Fantasy Fest sponsor Waste
Management is providing safe and clean
relief stations bordering the Duval Street
festival activities. When the urge strikes, be
sure to look for directional arrows on Duval
Street pointing toward the port-o-let locations
on the cross streets. Remember, relief is
always just around the corner!

A MINOR REMINDER
All festival attendees must have been born on
or before the current date in 1994 to purchase

outside the Fantasy Zone. Please stay inside
the party area while you are carrying open
alcoholic beverages. For your convenience,
trashcans and recycle bins are located along

freaks you’d find under a cosmic
ringmaster’s big top, cheered on
by a fantastic crowd of revelers. The All Hallows
Intergalactic Freak Show will inspire an out-of-thisworld parade and a 10-day party like none you’ve
ever seen. Fantasy Fest organizers are encouraging
partygoers to have a great time and stay safe.
PARADE VIEWING
The 3Wishes.com Fantasy Fest Parade launches
its extraterrestrial madness from the Gulf of Mexico
to the Atlantic Ocean on Saturday, Oct. 31, 2015.
The parade steps off at 7 PM and takes at least two
hours to complete.
It is expected to reach its most challenging,
120-degree turn at Front and Duval Streets at
roughly 7:45 PM and should be in the upper blocks
of Duval Street around 8:30 PM.
If you’re hoping to see the extravaganza and
get home at a reasonable hour, try to catch the
madness as it passes through the intersection of
Southard and Whitehead Streets. Upper Duval,
beyond Virginia Street, is often less congested
and tends to be a little friendlier for those who are
somewhat claustrophobic. Please remember, the
downtown area is very congested and parking is
limited because most streets remain closed until the
parade is completed.
FANTASY FEST
PARADE ROUTE
7 PM.
Fantasy Fest Libation Booths
WHEELCHAIR ACCESS
A special area for wheelchair-accessible viewing
of the 2015 3Wishes.com Fantasy Fest Parade
will be available on Duval Street at Virginia Street.
Handicapped-accessible parking and port-o-lets
will be available near the Gato Building at the corner
of Virginia and Simonton Streets.
BARRICADES
Barricades will be placed in congested areas
along the parade route to keep spectators safe
and to allow the parade entrants room to perform.
These simple yet vital pieces of equipment can
keep revelers from ending up under the wheels of a
magnificent float. They’re put up with safety in mind,
so please be a good sport when city employees
begin setting them in place before the parade.
The parade needs extra leeway from the crowd
at intersections where the procession makes turns.
Please cooperate with parade ambassadors and
law enforcement personnel to provide a safe turning
radius for the parade vehicles.
Please be cautious around the barricades and
step out of the way when city workers disassemble
them after the parade. It’s a challenging job,
so give them an encouraging word when
you see them.
PARADE AMBASSADORS
More than 100 Parade Ambassadors
will be stationed along the parade route
to help keep the spectators out of harm’s
way and from under the wheels of the
rolling festivities.
These very special people stay sober on
party night to be the responsible shepherds
of the 3Wishes.com Fantasy Fest Parade.
You will recognize these noble, funloving people by their distinctive T-shirts.
They each have undergone extensive
training sessions for this very important
job and they are in radio contact with
the parade director and law enforcement
personnel. Please let them know we
appreciate them. Smile, thank them, and
cooperate with their directions.
IT’S POLITE TO ASK FIRST
Please ask permission before snapping photos
of other partygoers and practice positive festival
etiquette by treating other people’s costumes (no
matter how skimpy) as works of art. Look and
admire, but don’t touch!
STREET CLOSURES
To accommodate the many street activities
during Fantasy Fest, portions of several streets will
be closed during the festivities and the parade.
• On Friday, Oct. 30, Duval Street from Front
Street to Truman Avenue is closed to traffic
beginning at 10 AM. Side street crossings are
at Front Street, Eaton Street, Fleming Street,
Southard Street, Angela Street, Olivia Street,
and Truman Avenue.
• On Saturday, Oct. 31, beginning at 10 AM, the
following streets will be closed: Duval Street
is closed from Front Street to Truman Avenue.
50
Front Street, Eaton Street, and Truman Avenue
are the only accessible cross streets.
• On Saturday, Oct. 31 from 4 PM until the
parade ends, Whitehead Street is closed
from Truman Avenue to Front Street. All Duval
crossings are closed from Front Street to United
Street. Southard Street from Truman Waterfront
to Simonton Street will also be closed.
• Several parking lots will also be closed from 8
AM on Friday, Oct. 30 until noon on Sunday,
Nov. 1: the parking lot in the 500 block of
Thomas Street, the parking lot in the 300 block
of Fleming Street, as well as the 500 block of
Angela Street.

put together an alien and Stonehenge-themed
float that will delight you with its mix of sexy,
costumed beauties and a fun take on the ever
mysterious Stonehenge.
Behind the 3Wishes.com float, the Fantasy
Fest King and Queen will preside over the
festivities from their elevated portion of the
universe. The Fantasy Fest King and Queen have
earned their royal spot by helping to raise money
for AIDS Help, a local non-profit that cares for
those living with HIV/AIDS.
The interstellar parade starts in Andromeda
Galaxy and touches down at the western end
of Southard Street at 7 PM, proceeds down
Whitehead Street to Front Street, and then makes
the turn up Duval Street for the spooktaculor finish.
“I think people will really be astonished at
what the entrants did with the parade floats
this year,” said Lindsey Sigafoos, the 2015
Parade Director.
52
There are hundreds
of barricades along the
route to ensure parade
units have enough room
to maneuver and entertain.
Always be careful around
the barricades to avoid
knocking them over or
tripping. City workers set
them up before the parade
and then collect them soon
after the parade.
“Our friends from Public Works have
a tough job,” Sigafoos says. “They’re
working hard while thousands of people
are, literally, partying around them.
Be gracious and let them know you
appreciate the work they do keeping
everyone safe.”
Winners of the 2015 parade and the
announcement of the 2016 Fantasy Fest
theme will be revealed in the local media
Sunday, Nov. 1.
“Our ambassadors are here to help manage
the madness” says Sigafoos. “Many of them
return year after year to help control the pace of
the parade as well as keep the crowd safe and
away from the floats. We couldn’t have such a
successful parade without them!”
The shoulder-to-shoulder crowds along Duval
Street are typically good-natured and easygoing.
The overwhelming masses congregate along
the 200 and 300 blocks of Duval. Upper Duval,
south of Truman Avenue, tends to be a bit more
mellow, but we can’t make any promises.

Sigafoos, who also wears a number of
hats in the Fantasy Fest office, including helping
to keep our generous sponsors on board and

Hometown: Virginia Beach, Virginia
How long have you been in Key West? About 3 glorious years
What attracted you here? My mom spent most of her childhood
in Key West, and we vacationed here as a family. I fell in love
with the island life and the cultural diversity.
What’s your favorite part of Fantasy Fest? My favorite part
of Fantasy Fest is the last Friday and Saturday which have
the Masquerade March and the 3Wishes.com Fantasy Fest
Parade. This is my favorite part because this is when locals
and tourists come together, and you get to see the true magic
of Fantasy Fest!
Where is your favorite non-Keys place to vacation and why?
Hawaii – because I’m a beach bum at heart and the landscape
is breathtaking. You can be on the beach one hour and hiking on
a volcano or in the tropical rain forest the next.
What was your favorite Halloween costume as a kid? Hands down,
the year I was Tin Man. My mom made my costume by hand and it
was awesome!!! She used dryer vents for my legs and an oil funnel
for my hat, all sprayed silver. Of course I had a heart!!
What are your top 5 tips for enjoying the parade?
1. Get to Duval early so you can get a prime viewing location.
2. Pace yourself on the booze --you don’t want to be hazy
or running to the bathroom every 5 seconds once the
parade starts.
3. Dress up!! The more creative your costume is, the more
beads you will get!!
4. Listen to the parade ambassadors, police, and ME :)!! If you
follow directions, you will stay safe and have an enjoyable time.
5. Don’t be nude, it’s just rude.
Thanks to our wonderful sponsors, including: ATL Productions,
Coyote Ugly, Hard Rock Café, Key West Express, Lazy Gecko,
Marriott Courtyard, The Reach: A Waldorf Astoria Resort, Reddy Ice,
San Carlos Institute and The Marker Waterfront Resort.

COCA-COLA
OFFICIAL SOFT DRINK COMPANY
Coca-Cola once again is the official soft drink
sponsor for Fantasy Fest. Sticking with Coca-Cola’s mission to
refresh the world, mind, body and spirit, they are helping to inspire
moments of joy at Fantasy Fest 2015. Coca-Cola has also generously
donated over 100 recycling bins this year, and would like to remind everyone to please
recycle responsibly.
Sales Center Manager JD Smith is excited about partnering with Fantasy Fest. “At
Coca-Cola, each local bottling facility gets involved with the community in which we do
business to create a better place for everyone to live. Through our commitment with Fantasy
Fest to help in the recycling efforts, we feel we exemplify our motto to LIVE POSITIVELY!”
For all your soft drinks, PowerAde, and Dasani Water, think of Coca-Cola products. You
will find these thirst quenching products available at all vendor booths during the Street Fair
and Promenade and at all major stores nationwide. Coca-Cola.com

HELP SAVE THE PLANET. RECYCLE!
W
e’ve invited aliens from all over the galaxy to Fantasy Fest this year
and we don’t want them to think we have a trashy planet. Help us
make a good impression, save the planet’s resources and make this
the greenest Fantasy Fest ever by recycling as you eat, drink and party.
Putting together a recycling program for an event of this magnitude requires lots of people working
together. Fantasy Fest sponsor Coca-Cola, the wonderful officials from the City of Key West and
its Public Works and Community Relations Departments, Waste Management, the volunteers who
help with the Street Fair and the 3Wishes.com Fantasy Fest Parade route and, of course, the Tourist
Development Association and Market Share Company, who produce Fantasy Fest, have each brought
something special to creating a viable recycling project for Fantasy Fest.
Once again, one of the festival’s most loyal sponsors, Coca-Cola, is loaning the festival more than
100 recycle bins, so a well-marked receptacle will be placed at every corner in the Fantasy Zone.
Waste Management is now able to accept all seven of the hard plastics categories, making even more
drinking cups recyclable. Look for recycle bins on each street corner along Friday’s Masquerade March.
The City has purchased different bags for recycling (clear) and for regular trash (black). Both bags
will be distributed to the street vendors during Fantasy Fest. Public Works will extend their pick up hours
during the heaviest days of the festival. Please help when you see cleanup service vehicles. Let them
through so they can continue the trash and cleanup efforts that make our city a shining jewel!
“Recycling is an important priority for Key West year-round and we are proud of the team that has
come together to keep things clean and green during the All Hallows Intergalactic Freak Show, said
festival director, Linda O’Brien.

OFFICIAL MEDALLION PENDANT
OF FANTASY FEST 2015 –
“The Avatar”
ALEXANDER J. CALDER ARTS
MANAGEMENT, LLC
Alexander J. Calder Arts Management, LLC has partnered with
the renowned artist and sculptor, Daniel J. Riccio, to create a unique
collectible medallion pendant to commemorate Fantasy Fest 2015.
“The Avatar” is a truly beautiful sculpted piece of wearable art,
designed exclusively for the Fantasy Fest enthusiast. Each piece
is numbered and signed by the artist. Production is limited to no
more than 750 bronze and 200 sterling silver pendants.
Interesting facts about “The Avatar”: It is approximately
50mm in size and is cast from 10 different components pieced
together by hand. The bronze is mixed for each pour which adds individuality. The
medallion contains an internal bell, which produces sound. Pictured is the male side of the
two-sided pendent, with both a male and female face, featuring eyes that float. A trident
clapper produces a musical voice inviting good karma. The Avatar includes both a wearable
pendant and a convenient display stand—so you will be able to enjoy your fantasy treasure
for many years to come.
Share your experience and create great memories. You don’t have to wear much, but
don’t be caught at Fantasy Fest 2015 without your official Avatar medallion pendant.
Once the 950th pendant is sold, the mold will be destroyed and there will no longer be
any available. Order yours TODAY, as early orders will receive lower-numbered pendants.
Visit us at the Street Fair and Promenade on Oct. 30 & 31, or order online at:
