Disney has added a male fairy to its popular online world of Pixie Hollow.

It was a pleasant surprise this week when Pixie Hollow publicist Sweet Pea announced to the community that it was welcoming a new member. His name is Slate -- and he's the joint's first guy. Like Peter Pan's famous blond friend, Slate has talent for tinkering. And if you must know, he's not a fairy; he's a "sparrow man." Whatever you say, Slate. Nice wings, by the way. Slate's also quite the metrosexual – he thinks that "Coal's Clothiers has got some great Sparrow Man threads -- and my good buddy, Gavin, up in Evergreen Overlook has some amazing hats and accessories for Sparrow Men as well."


I have several hundred questions about this, but here's the first: Why does Slate sound like he's on the three a.m. shift at QVC?

As is common with a lot of these characters, they give you tools so you can customize him. You can change his wings, change his face, change his hairstyle, and make him grow in length from 4 1/2" to a whopping 5 1/2" inches long.

And that, kids, is why fairies never ever settle down.
