Ooo oh ah this be-bop's too much

We got cool and hot just for you
The pleasures of the soul
Come on, come in and check it out
Ooo see'est si bon soul food to go
-- Djavan & Doug Fieger

Diversity is a given, inclusion is a choice, equity is a goal. Belonging is our ultimate endpoint. When you recognize those three things, you create a culture that is on fire
—Camille Chang Gilmore

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
-- John Lennon, Yoko Ono

Express yourself!
-- Madonna, Stephen Bray

I leave no trace of wings in the air, but I am glad I have had my flight.
— Rabindranath Tagore

Something wonderful is coming.

I got so excited about the solid color spider mums that I couldn't resist and created tipped spider mums and they turned out quite nice I think. There are 4 different colors, red, lilac, pink and gold and they are full perm and free at the Create a Scene Garden Center here at the mall. They're right in front of the greenhouse. Stop in and get yours because they will beautify any landscape and grab a box of gladiolus while you're there then shop around but bring a really big shopping bag! Blessings and much love, Lavia

I am pleased to announce the opening of the Selea Core Store, located in the southeast corner of the Star Ravenhurst Designs region. This project, which I dedicated over two weeks to last November, aims to preserve the body of work created by Selea Core, who left Open Sim unexpectedly around 2016-17.

At that time, Victor DeAngelo, Ms. Kal, and I gathered all the available Selea Core products. Victor also sourced additional items, re-boxing and labeling them since many were originally stored in folders rather than their original packaging. These items were subsequently offered at his shop.

Years later, I observed that many of these boxes had migrated to different locations, and several had become corrupted, containing duplicates or broken items. Consequently, I undertook the task of meticulously cleaning, repairing, and reboxing them with new labels to distinguish my collection from others. Additionally, I included rare Elven items from my collection that are not widely distributed elsewhere.

While I strive for perfection, I acknowledge that some boxes may not be flawless. However, I assure you that the Selea Core boxes available at this shop are clean, up-to-date, and ready for you to take home.

Please note that Selea Core often used Rezzers for her houses and many of her scenes, typically designed for a single 1x1 SIM. You will need to adjust the script to match the size of your region for the rez box to function correctly. If you require assistance, please feel free to reach out.
Special thanks to Victor DeAngelo for helping to preserve the work, Jupiter Rowland for sharing his SC collection with me, and Ms. Kal for leaving my boxes in her sandbox all this time so I didn't lose the collection.

I don't make plants very often because, frankly, I'm not very good at it. However, I adore certain plants and so that becomes a driving force for me to create it in world. Well besides Gladiolus, Spider Mums are one of my favorite flowers, I find them stunningly beautiful. So, I decided to try my hand at making them as I've not seen them in Open Sim anywhere. In this picture you can see them all nice and planted and next to them is the box that has all 9 colors. They're waiting for you at the Create A Scene Garden Center's greenhouse entrance and they are full perm and free and I hope you will like them. Blessings and much love, Lavia

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”.
https://www.kanopy.com/en

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.

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.

Hey Everyone 🙂 I'm performing at Stark Islands at 11:AM
Come join me, request a few tunes and have some fun!

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

Thorvaldr has been a busy fellow creating and building and now offering his builds in these handy dandy boxes that you just touch to receive the build for yourself. Thor's builds are all Norse/Viking/Medieval in nature so stop by the mall and go to Thor's Forge to get your own!!

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?
-- Pete Townshend

Heute - Die grosse Tanznacht mit DJ Mick Florido im Virtual Vista Metaverse Grid. Wir starten um 19 Uhr mit 80er & 90er Schlager, sowie Rock & Pop und würden uns freuen wenn du mit dabei wärst

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
