I left the confines of my grubby room of questionable privacy. The desert called to me, so I went. The further away I strolled revealed more signs of life...but I question the variety thereof.

The hills have eyes...

"Wild, dark times are rumbling toward us, and the prophet who wishes to write a new apocalypse will have to invent entirely new beasts, and beasts so terrible that the ancient animal symbols of St. John will seem like cooing doves and cupids in comparison."
-- Heinrich Heine

I had forgotten I still had this beautiful huge Southern Victorian mansion. So I took it out of the mothballs and dusted it down and put it out. There is lots of space on the top floor to add rooms and there is a ladder that goes to the top of the roof; a full wrap around porch and a full basement, a huge kitchen and living room with a giant study and spiral stairs. Check it out, you might like it. Blessings and much love, Lavia

Today is a great day for a little Odyssey. "When light bounces off of something and is reflected back into a human’s eyes, we perceive color. For millennia, color has been one of the elements of art that artists use to render the world as they see it." When you view the colors the Mind Odyssey artists display, such as Nyx Breen, you will see a dance of color and movement. Make sure you take the time to spend here and appreciate the artists of OpenSim.

Signs of life in a desolate place...

"Her mind is Tiffany-twisted, she got the Mercedes-Benz,
She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys that she calls friends
How they dance in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat
Some dance to remember, some dance to forget..."

I decided to go back to the abandoned station to look for signs of life.

I found some...but are these people I want to know? There was something....not quite right...

New Item at the mall which you can find in the Kitchen & Dining department. The Spindle Shelf Fireplace comes with sound and working doors for storage. I've also added a few new things to the Building Supplies department and we're increasing our Holidays & Season's "Spring" section though I guess it's time to start on the fall and winter! Stop by and check things out as I'm adding new stuff just about every week. Blessings and much love, Lavia

come to Greedy Fun and pick up the brand-new Goren Greedy table. Masters its for your subs to play with and just think of the fun you can have with them while they are on the crosses hg.trianon-world.com:18002:Greedy Fun

Okay I think things are finally, at last, for the time being, hopefully rearranged to be more easily accessible for everyone at the Create A Scene Garden Center and in fact the entirety of the Masala Al Kohav Mall. There is so much going on here that at times it's a little hard to keep up with, but it's all good goings on!! Stop in and shop all day if you like. Visit all of our in house creator's shops like Ezra's Antiques and Collectables, Thor's Forge, Fall's For You (Animesh People) and my own "Lavia's Little Corner". We have a very wide assortment of items ranging from houses to plants and everything in between. We're working on building new stuff as well so that you have original content as well as items from around Open Sim. And don't forget to ask about our "Showcase Plateau" which allows folks to advertise their grid, region, or shop not just for a week or a month, but year round for free with an allowance of 1500 prims. Word of mouth is always the best advertising you can get and we're here to help you get seen and heard. Blessings and much love, Lavia.

A Virtual Beach Update

Hey everyone, so far everything is going smooth and looks good.

I will be going on a last minute camping music festival trip, I will be gone Wednesday evening to Sunday evening.

If there are any grid issues please send me a message or email but please keep in mind my internet will be limited. I will have best luck in the morning for internet.

Once I get back I will start planning the grand opening for the new welcome region

Who is the band in the new show truck?

Needful Things has been enriched by a small attraction: every visitor can start the small show themselves by clicking on the writing on the floor (sounds must be activated in the viewer!).
For all those who get carried away by the little concert, there is a free HUD with audience animations to take away in the boxes in front of the truck....

YouTube Video: https://youtu.be/fO-VR3FJfZU

Wer ist die Band im neuen Show Truck?

Needful Things ist um eine kleine Attraktion reicher: jeder Besucher kann die kleine Show durch Anklicken der Schrift am Boden selbst starten (Klänge müssen im Viewer aktiviert sein!).
Für alle, die sich von dem kleinen Konzert mitreißen lassen, gibt es einen HUD mit Publikumsanimationen kostenlos zum Mitnehmen in den Kartons vor dem Truck....

In my desert journey, I came upon an abandoned petrol station in a ghost town. I didn't dare seek shelter there, but slept across the road on the warm ground. I gave it the light of day, but does it look better? I still feel unease...

Once dwelt in that annihilated place"
