I’ll be posting about films/documentaries found on the free streaming service Kanopy that may be of interest to members of this group. For our entertainment, education, enrichment, and/or inspiration for OS events? In-world watch parties perhaps? Who knows? Let’s see.

About Kanopy: “We stream thoughtful entertainment to your preferred device with no fees and no commercials by partnering with public libraries and universities. Everyone from film scholars to casual viewers will discover remarkable and enriching films on Kanopy. Log in with your library membership and enjoy our diverse catalog with new titles added every month. At Kanopy we believe in the power of film to bridge cultural boundaries and bring people together”.

Today, I’ll focus on some classic films.

La Cage aux Folles. This 1978 film “inspired a major Broadway musical and the blockbuster remake The Birdcage. But with its hilarious performances and ahead-of-its-time social message, there’s nothing like the audacious, dazzling original movie.”
The film is part of the Criterion Collection, a continuing series of important classic and contemporary films. To see the films in the collection, you can stream it on Criterion Channel with a paid subscription, or see them free on Kanopy.

The Boys in the Band is a 1970’s drama that is among the early major American motion pictures to revolve around gay characters, often cited as a milestone in the history of gay cinema, and thought to be the first mainstream American film to use the swear word "cunt". (Netflix did a new adaption in 2020).

Rent. The 2005 movie adaptation of the critically acclaimed drama/musical that was one the longest-running shows on Broadway.

The picture for this post is a teaser for the next , which will focus on films like “No Secret Anymore,” a documentary about the two women who launched the first public organization for lesbians in America, the Daughters of Bilitis, in 1955.




Update, virtual beach is back online, if you experience any issues please let me know. will work more tonight on figuring out the issue.

Virtual beach is down for unknown reasons, will work as fast as i can to fix it. Thank you for your patients.
It maybe wishful thinking, but has anyone seen a race track lap timer and leader board on their travels?

I have a cool one in SL that had a start/finish line and checkpoints to place in key locations around the track to stop short cuts. It would display the top ten lap times/names on the leader board.

I have been to a few race tracks in open sim and have never been able to get hold of one. I have never seen one in any malls/freebie places either.

Jupiter Rowland: They do exist, but to my understanding, they're all custom creations for that one particular race track, and their creators don't want to give them away. 4 months ago

Welcome back my friends to the show that never ends
We're so glad you could attend,
come inside, come inside
There behind a glass stands a real blade of grass
Be careful as you pass, move along, move along

Come inside, the shows about to start
Guaranteed to blow your head apart
Rest assured you'll get your money's worth
The greatest show in Heaven, Hell or Earth

You've got to see the show, it's a dynamo
You've got to see the show, its rock and roll, oh

Every day I get in the queue
To get on the bus that takes me to you
I'm so nervous, I just sit and smile
You house is only another mile

Thank you, driver, for getting me here
You'll be an inspector, have no fear
I don't want to cause no fuss
But can I buy your Magic Bus?

This fun train was something I had created on the old grid under that avatar name, but I still have it and decided to put it out for folks to enjoy. It's a cute little train that would be adorable in any "park" or "playground" setting and it fits adults and kids a like. If you're region is a park or fun ride theme this little gem would work perfectly even if it does just have you going in circles (pun intended). You can pick your copy up at the Holidays & Seasons department here at the mall. Blessings and much love, Lavia
New additions to our Holidays & Seasons department - sculpted patio umbrella tables with sits, also two very nice mesh umbrella tables and chairs with sits that I had built on the old grid and brought with me to this grid. Stop in and shop till your legs wear out. Blessings and much love, Lavia
We are constantly adding new stuff to our Mall region and today we are adding sculpted steps, roofs, pillars and columns. You will also find scripted doors, various windows regular and arched, prefab walls with the windows already installed, arched and regular door frames, fences, walls and gates. We will also be adding to our other departments things like picnic tables, covered decks (sculpted), and plenty of new items in our Holidays & Seasons department. Don't forget to check out my little corner, Ezra's Antiques & Collectibles, Thor's Forge and many other shops in the mall. And if you're looking for a few animals for pets or to set up a farm that is no muss no fuss, check out our Best Friends Pet Center and mini zoo for a wide selection of Animesh animals. Blessings and much love, Lavia
