Site Update
Running March 30th - April 6th!
The Glittering Gala is a festival of glitz and glamour, with loud music and even louder outfits to welcome spring and the coming of the flower viewing season. Basically, it's party time here on Aywas. ;) Are you ready?
With the help of a Slashbot, a little pinch of stardust and Mori's mind, we bring you a week-long festival of good food, art, stories, and a metric universe ton of sequins!
Let's kick off the celebration with an explosion of fabric!
We have a lot gorgeous outfits and accessories to release throughout the event. And I mean a lot.
The Glittering Gala will have lots of limited edition clothing, but it will also make a permanent impact on the clothing shops around Ay. You can find the Layer Cake dress series and many more pieces in the stores now!
Now, what's a party without food?
These three tasty treats can be found in the Ay shops. Make sure you pay before you try and sample the food!
While you're chowing down, you might also want to feast your eyes on that pretty art I talked about.
This lovely, glamorous bird is the mascot of our Glittering Gala event--aka, the silver pet base!

30% edit room as usual, but this time we don't have a thread for you to trip over yourself coloring for. Instead, we have this shiny Velvet Stardust bag that you can use, which can be used from the Custom Pet page.
It only has enough magic in it to last for the duration of the Gala, so you must submit your pet(s) to the queue by 11:59 PM on April 6th!
Now, how do you obtain one of these snazzy bags?
SEQUINS!
I told you there was a ton of them, didn't I?
Sequins are a special currency that will be used in a seasonal shop for this event.
You can find them in any location in Adventure and will come across random piles between 1 and 10 sequins.
These points are locked to your account, so you cannot sell or trade them.
So, what will you be able to buy with Sequins?
Velvet Stardust, mounds and mounds of glamorous HA clothing, and extravagant pets!
We are going to wait for a day or so to open the seasonal shop. This will give us time to track how sequins are accumulating and help us determine item prices--not to mention upload all the goodies we have for you!
As if all this wasn't exciting enough, what's a party without some games or a little competition?
The Glittering Gala is also sponsoring art, writing and character contests, as well as hosting several auctions!
We're going to start off with a pair of BP auctions for two glammed-up custom pets!
Click on the pet's image to go to their auction!
Details on the art, writing and character contests will be posted shortly!
Note: If you submitted anything to either of the Glittering Gala threads, just hang tight! We still have a lot of things to accept and upload and then will be able to take care of payments. :)
Mori spent a lot of time planning out this event for everyone to enjoy down to the smallest detail, but unfortunately can't be here to see it kick off since he is on a trip to Japan, so lets enjoy the sequins for him!
Even when he's not here, I think it's pretty clear he knows how to throw a party, wouldn't you agree?

OMG!
@ Captain Visarc: No, I had to think about the MLP Galloping Gala song too. And it's still in my head.
The birds are great. I want one! But as always everythings already sold out in the stores. Why? Why???? *imitating Rarity*

**spazzes** PRETTY!! **drools**
Seriously though, this event looks quite awesome - I love the prospect of having a few days to get a design together for the SCC. I'm also quite curious to see if one could possibly accumulate a few of these items...**scratches chin and envisions adoption center packed with SCCs**

AT THE GALA, AT THE GALA~!
Also, I found about 14 sequins... but they're not in my inventory! :0 I didn't see a "Take" tab, so I'm guessing that's automatic? Are they stored elsewhere?

How do we get the bag?
