John Mayall – Der Vater des britischen Blues

Wenn man die Geschichte der Rockmusik betrachtet, stößt man unweigerlich auf Namen, die wie Monolithen in der Landschaft stehen.
Doch hinter den glitzernden Fassaden von Bands wie Fleetwood Mac, Cream oder den Rolling Stones
verbirgt sich oft ein gemeinsamer Nenner, ein Fundament, auf dem diese Paläste errichtet wurden.
John Mayall war genau dieses Fundament ...

🎀 BK-Mode Shopping-Park: Wo dein Avatar den Laufsteg übernimmt – und zwar mit Attitüde! 🎀

Vergiss Basics, vergiss brav – BK-Mode serviert jetzt Looks, die nicht nur gut aussehen, sondern dein Inventar in Ekstase versetzen. Zwischen Glitzer und Grunge, Kuscheltier-Rucksack und Couture-Geflüster wird hier nicht gestylt, sondern gestanzt: Persönlichkeit in Pixeln, Stil mit Punch.

Ob du heute Diva, Dandy oder digitaler Daydream bist – diese Kollektion kennt keine Kompromisse. Sie flirtet mit dem Chaos, tanzt auf dem Trendradar und sagt deinem alten Outfit: „Danke für nichts.“ BK-Mode ist wie ein Modemagazin auf Espresso – schnell, frech, und immer ein bisschen zu gut, um wahr zu sein.

In wenigen Stunden ist es soweit und auf Eternal Ice öffnet der 10. (und letzte) Adventskalender sein erstes Türchen!
Alle Geschenke bleiben bis Anfang Januar 2026 erhältlich, danach wir die Region Eternal Ice nicht länger auf OSW gelistet. Danach gehen die Teleports nur noch über die Karte ( pangeagrid.de:8002:Eternal Ice ) oder eine bestehende Landmarke.

Frohe Vorweihnachtszeit!

* * * * *

In just a few hours, the 10th (and final) Advent calendar will open its first door on Eternal Ice!
All gifts will remain available until early January 2026, after which the Eternal Ice region will no longer be listed on OSW. After that, teleports will only be possible via the map (pangeagrid.de:8002:Eternal Ice) or an existing landmark.

Happy holidays!

Wrote an article this morning because I was asked how I created flowers. One method is torturing prims, and I love to use the polar array in Blender to create flowers but another is to mod by creating flowers out of neat parts! For many of us it is a passion to find cool items that are full perms and then take the parts and mod them into a new item.

Kitely Winter Fair: your booth design can be rewarded!
After the huge success of our 2024 Winter Fair, we simply had to bring it back for another sparkling edition! ❄️✨
And this year… we want YOU to be part of the enchantment. it will be in the Kitely world Catronian Archipelago.


We warmly invite all merchants to reserve their spot at our charming winter market. Each participant can claim two stalls to showcase their creations — and yes, we love freebies… we really do! 😉 For the best design we offer a prize in dollars ( you need a PayPal account).

Imagine your stall set in a picturesque, old-European village square (think Dutch–German vibes), gently dusted with snow. Around you: twinkling Christmas lights, cosy market huts, waffles and warm drinks, music in the air, excited visitors hunting for decorations… and of course, talented artists turning the little houses into a magical gallery trail.

Our market is nestled in the heart of a 12-sim-wide Winter Wonderland, home of the legendary 11 Cities Skating Tour!
Find the checkpoints, collect the stamps, earn the trophy — and maybe even secure a proud place in the Skaters’ Hall of Fame. ⛸️🏆

This fair traditionally attracts a huge crowd, so early reservations are highly recommended. Many booths are already taken. There is no need to be a highly skilled designer or builder, it is for the fun of participating.
To secure your two stalls, please send an IM to Trouble Ahead.

Today, as I entered my OutOfThisWorld grid, I lifted my gaze to the firmament
and saw a new star shining with the brilliance of a radiant beacon.

In that moment, I understood
that a dear friend had departed to the realm of the immortals.

Luna Lunaria, my friend… you will be deeply missed.

Each time I behold your creations,
so exceptional and beautiful,
you will live on in memory.

May the Creator grant you eternal peace and love.

Thank you, dear Lunita, for accepting me as your friend.
I will always carry you in my heart and mind.

Hoy, al entrar a mi grid OutOfThisWorld, levanté la mirada al firmamento
Y vi una nueva estrella brillar con la fuerza de un lucero.

En ese instante comprendí
que una amiga había partido al mundo de los inmortales.

Luna Lunaria, mi amiga… te extrañaremos.

Cada vez que contemple tus creaciones,
tan excepcionales y hermosas,
Vivirás en el recuerdo.

Que el Creador te conceda paz y amor eternos.

Gracias, Lunita, por haberme aceptado como tu amigo.
Siempre te llevaré en mi mente.

In OpenSim, people don’t really vanish.
Sure — the avatar logs off, the profile goes still, and the regions they touched fall a little quieter. But the truth is, no one who poured their creativity into this world ever truly leaves it behind.

Every builder, scripter, artist, designer, and dreamer who passes on becomes something more permanent than any prim or mesh:
they become a new star over our metaverse.

A bright point of light watching over the worlds we keep shaping.

Their work, their ideas, their imagination — those stay woven into the grids, the stories, the landmarks, and the communities they helped grow. And every time we rez a prim, sculpt a landscape, or chase some wild idea just to see if we can… we’re carrying their spark forward.

We honor them best by continuing to build boldly.
By creating freely.
By keeping OpenSim vibrant, weird, beautiful, and alive.

Because the metaverse doesn’t forget its creators — it turns them into constellations.

And we look up, keep going, and make sure our worlds shine even brighter. #Luna #Mal #Torben #Triz
