just in case people dont know what formal is.. its Tuxes for the men and Gowns for the ladies.. if you come not dressed in Formal to the Ballroom you will be to told its a formal venue.. 2nd time I have to tell you you will be ejected third time Banned. The Only Club that has a dress code is the Ballroom, and its listed as a formal venue on all ads and notices. The Train Station, TG.IF and Fetish Factor do not have dress codes.

A special Shoutout to Thirza Ember and HG Safari group! I was honored to be included in your tour and have many new friends.

On your next visit, you can venture into the dark depths of a labyrinthine cavern, the promise of treasure mingling with the dread of what lies ahead. The shadows twist and turn, and soon, you find yourselves confronted by vengeful ghosts, their wails echoing off the damp stone walls.

In a frantic scramble to evade the spirits, you will rush through the narrow passages, but the caverns are alive with surprises. Cobwebs, thick and sticky, cling to your faces, and startled bats flutter out from the shadows, tangling in your hair.

The atmosphere is thick with tension, laughter, and the inevitable fear of what lurks just beyond the flickering light of their torches.

Hi there, I trust that everything is going well for you all. As the season approaches, we've been working on some new products for you. Additionally, I have been getting some off-line messages. Beetlejuice is being inquired about. It's located in the Garden and you can access it by teleporting from the landing. The store marked as women is where it's located. At present, there are new items in the garden, as well as this one. May your autumn be a time of fun and happiness.

I hope you all are having a great weekend. I was asked if I would make 

Beetlejuice
outfit.  With just the black and white lines, well, this was the best I could come up with at the last moment, so I will also share here what I made. They will be in the store if you're looking. Have fun and happy shopping. Good night

Back to the carefree time .
Let's shout it out to the world

Today has been a busy day at the mall as not only have we opened our new Magic Shop, but I got a little creative and made these Owl Lamps. I had gotten a lamp that was labeled "Owl Lamp" it turned out to be a Peregrine Falcon lamp, so I corrected the name on that one and made two, what I think are, really cute owl lamps with my favorite bird perched atop a tree and the moon providing the light. There are two versions, one with the owl facing front, and the other from the side and there are duplicate table versions as well. I have all four of them boxed up and waiting for you in the Living rooms Department in our Furniture section of the mall. Hop on over to the mall and use the teleporter to select "furniture" and have fun shopping! Blessings and much love, Lavia

How many "NEW" signs can you spot? I have added many new things to the shop and you will find them all by looking for the red, glowing "NEW" signs from one end of the shop to the other. Have fun "Easter egg" hunting!

=OUT NOW: Adam Skin Megapack=
Another megapack of skins in 16 tones, similar style to Denis megapack. If you can't find neckblend inside, it is available in the pack for the body skin anyway!

Good Day, Friends!

I’m often asked, “What happens to the art when it’s taken down to make room for a new exhibition?” My response has always been that select works from each artist are preserved and moved to another gallery space, becoming part of a permanent exhibition that contributes to OpenSim’s evolving history. Up until now, that was only a vision—a future project in my mind.

I’m thrilled to announce that vision has finally come to life with The Archive Collection. While the name may be straightforward, it leaves no mystery about the treasures inside! 😊

I’ve included some photos—one of them shows me standing in front of the building, to give you a sense of its scale. To enhance your visit, I’ve also added a grand piano I uploaded and added a variety of scripted music that you can play by touching the keys while enjoying the art. There’s even a version of the piano with animation options available at my shop.

As we approach September, those of you with art ready for display are welcome to bring it by the gallery anytime. If you’re not already in the group, please let me know so I can add you to the correct role so you can rez.

I’m incredibly excited about this exhibition and, from what I’ve seen so far, it promises to be a feast for all our senses! Looking forward to seeing you soon!

The Grande Phoenix is a reimagined and refined update of an original Moroccan-style build I created for the town of Devil's Fork in the Land of Xzar. I was never fully satisfied with the original, so I recently undertook a complete remodel and am now excited to share it with anyone who’d like to make it their own.

Designed as a charming boutique hotel, the Grande Phoenix features a welcoming lobby with a side bathroom. The lounge is a cozy retreat with a warm fireplace, a stylish bar, and a dance floor for social gatherings. The custom-built kitchen, crafted with full perm capabilities, is ready for anyone who wishes to add their own animations.

Upstairs, you’ll find three beautifully appointed bedrooms, each with its own en-suite bathroom. The building comes partially furnished, showcasing custom artwork I created, while leaving plenty of room for you to personalize and decorate to suit your style.

The Grande Phoenix is a versatile addition to any town or region, but of course, it’s yours to use however you wish. With full permissions, it’s designed for flexibility and creativity. I hope it brings you as much enjoyment as I’ve had in crafting it.

Which camp will you join? #LEAVEITONTHEPLAYA


SUNDAY BRUNCH ON THE PLAYA @ PARADISE LOST!

BRUNCH ON THE PLAYA WITH DJ ILLUSIONS!

The magnificent DJ Illusions bids you to bring your mimosas and other mysterious imbibements and come enjoy the desert, camps, and his original music! Be transported to another dimension through truly interstellar musical adventure! You will have a true Tomorrowland experience with this talented and spectacular artist!

Your landing point will be in front of the Playa gate. For the full effect, set your environment on midnight, walk through the gate, and follow the arrows on the ground. You will walk through the camps, with the full view of the stage emerging. Massive and larger than life, plan on using your camera control to get a close view of the performers, should you desire.

These trees were made with AI textures I downloaded from the Internet for free. The textures are beautiful and I applied them to either flexi prims or a 1 prim plant sculpt. They would probably look best in a fantasy setting as they need full bright on for most lighting settings. If you only use the Default sky settings or similar lighting, they look fine with the bright unchecked. There are 22 different trees. Currently, they are located in front of the pyramids.
Rather than having a dedicated area for landscaping items, I have scattered trees, flowers, bushes, etc. all over the region in multiples as I have decided against using any other landscaping. So if you are walking about and see a tree or flower you like, simply click on it to buy for $0. Unless it has a box, everything in the region has the item inside of it so click and buy. :)
I hope everyone has a lovely and restful Sunday.

News!!! Animated Snake Tongue, this tongue will slither out of your mouth between every 12 and 24 seconds, for a fraction of a second, vigorously wiggling, just like with snakes or other reptiles.
Thank you very much Leo, this teamwork makes me very happy

Important Information about our Mall!

Hello everyone, due to a server change from Windows to Linux and the setting of the support for the Kubwa Manager, I was unfortunately unable to transfer any group information to the new database. The server address "kishaki.de" and all regions remain the same. We run now a bigger Server with Opensim version Nessi (0.9.3). I would be happy if you visit us again, that you join the group again. Have a nice weekend everyone! Amelia & Hertha

Cannabis Information Center, an oasis of knowledge and natural beauty nestled in a serene outdoor setting. This unique center, established in collaboration with Leafly, the renowned cannabis resource, offers a comprehensive exploration of cannabis, its benefits, uses, and the latest research findings.

Another sleepless night produced this beautiful pyramid with a reflecting pool and Sphynx (which isn't my build but it worked perfectly). Inside there is a huge room and a kind of a mini palace compete with statues, floor lamp torches, pillars and thrones. It turned out better than I had hoped it would and I hope you will enjoy it and use it for your "ancient" or "Egyptian" build. It comes complete with trees and statues and is the perfect addition or center piece for any ancient or even sci fi fantasy build. You can find it here at the mall in our "Ancient Builds" department. Blessings and much love, Lavia
