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 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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

Well, then can I walk beside you?
I have come to lose the smog
And I feel myself a cog
In somethin' turning
And maybe it's the time of year
Yes, and maybe it's the time of man
And I don't know who I am
But life is for learning
-- Joni Mitchell

Bring your horse to meet Smokey!

We know there are a lot of horse lovers in opensim. One of the biggest challenges to horse owners is having large, beautifully landscaped areas to ride. the second challenge is having ridable trails over uneven terrain. It sounds simple, but can sometimes make a person say bad words when building it. then you also have issues of will the horses physics work on the uneven terrains.

At friends grid we offer the amazing horses from my friend,Roland Francis, and we have two totally different trails for you to enjoy. Now, you can now bring your own horse!

Friends Stables - Enjoy a ride which will take you through the beautiful stable area with ocean views, continue on to the working friends farm. and then ride over the mountains and into the beautiful rainforest! There are many different trail options here.

Friends Mall - this is a beautiful easy trail located in back of the mall. This is a simple trail...you cannot get lost. You will ride along the landscaped path viewing the ocean and gradually climb high into the mountains.

If you don't have a horse, feel free to use my horses. After you enjoy riding these wonderful creations by Roland Francis, you can go to my store and get your own horses.
