So, in the event you are looking for a frosty yet romantic winter fantasy vibe, these are winter magic frosty trees. The leaves are still on them and somehow froze and became a shade of white, definitely total magic.
Make some hot chocolate and wear your mittens if you put them out.

A question has to be posed to the community, in regards to illegal activity, preventions and counter measures.

I am the builder of Amoa Nude Beach. Along with my partner Robin, we created a nude beach region that we donated in appreciation to the amazing generosity of the owners of Barefoot-Dreamers grid. A win-win for both, in which my partner and I who have loved nude beaches since our days on secondlife, could enjoy once again. We have permanently left secondlife and no longer have to endure the abuses committed and performed by visitors or owners of those beach sims, some in a pro-active manner. All because we didn't agree with their opinions. But that is another subject altogether and not part of this discussion. We didn't build this beach for massive traffic influx nor profit. We take NO donations, traffic means nothing to us. But exists, for those that wish to enjoy it. Amoa is a place where everyone can enjoy that wishes, without question.

All that is required is 3 BASIC rules to be observed and adhered to. Human, Nude and Adult.

Measures were taken so that this is clearly prevalent BEFORE even arriving. It is shown AS an adult region. The name itself states NUDE. Our very very limited advertising (Since we do not seek waves of avatars and want to keep it comfortable and not overwhelming) states HUMAN. Simple and easy right?

However, recently it has attracted a daily stream of nothing but naked toddlers, naked pre teens, dragons, Japanamation cartoon children, demons, lumberjacks who stand on the landing fully dressed spraying and praying all females on radar and lastly, women dressed in ball room gowns.

I am not one to eject or ban and usually give plenty of warning, in hopes that all will enjoy our creation in whatever way they wish. Our aspirations have been to provide a little of everything for everyone. However, I have held back from providing some amazing custom creations, because of this recent wave of illogical behavior.

The guys dressed as lumberjacks will never stop. Same old excuse, it's to hard to take clothes off, lag, blah blah. Even when I hypergrid, I can still change to a saved outfit within 1 minute, thus proving this is merely an excuse for them to spray and pray every chick with "How are you?", "hru", "U'r Hot, want Fk?" or some other classic pickup lines like "yo" and "Hi Fk?". Because every chick just melts when a guy says those things to them. Which makes me wonder why each of these girls IM me and ask me to save them with a TP.

Which brings me to the question of this article. Is it complete lack of common sense or just a flagrant arrogant disregard of rules or merely laziness (because reading is so hard and takes too much time to read 3 words) for this increased wave of violating visitors?

I have asked some violators, what did we not do to make it clear enough? I was told that I should extend the title of the region name to include all 3 rules, plus add it to the description (even though it already is stated in description). Flagrant arrogant disregard.

Now I know for a fact there already exists pedophilia regions like Golden Sun that is comprised of mostly senior citizens using toddler avatars trying to convince each other that their mic is broken but they are really 12. Why do they feel the need to visit THIS region that clearly states that pedophilia is NOT tolerated? Which indicates a leaning towards flagrant disregard.

Some known pedophiles have already been banned such as a 70 year old man in Alberta Canada that we know his avatars.

But it all brings me back to the original question. Is it Lack of common sense, Complete flagrant arrogant disregard of rules, or just flat out laziness?

I would love to hear the feedback so I can impersonate Spock and say "Fascinating!. I am sure, enquiring minds would like to know.

Upate. This address should work for everyone:

Goodmorning, it seems not everyone is able to visit my region Avia at Virtual Worlds Zone Grid. Would you pls let me know? It should be opened to everyone. Alternative is to hop to virtual-worlds.zone:8002 and there choose region Avia. Hope it will be solved soon. http://virtual-worlds.zone:8002:Avia

Well, from time to time you just need a lamp that goes with almost everything. Basic lamps called the "Daily" lamps, they are available in the main shop building. The textures are included so they can be customized and there's also a menu script which includes the option of having them go on and off automatically with the sim day cycle....but, hey, if you want, go ahead, leave the lights on.

A new release today. A very tiny one...it's a little goldfinch. I never made a bird before but I thought the bird bath perhaps needs one and maybe I'll be doing some other bird related things. This guy is in 2 versions, flat feet for the ground and feet to perch on branches and things. He also comes with and without random finch sounds. He's at the main shop by the bird bath of course :)

This is a beautiful Heart Bezel solitaire in Ruby. It is bento rigged so it increased the LOD it is a bit heavy. The mesh was reduced 50% prior to rigging too. For those that demand bento, and to the ones who scream at me for being heavy, I have to say, sorry but had to do it!! You can find it in the Bento rings section in the Foyer.

Jackie — Wings of Remembrance 🦅

Today I created a piece that means more to me than jewelry.

The passing of Jackie, the beloved Big Bear bald eagle, touched my heart deeply. Watching her life, her devotion to her nest, and seeing her young finally take flight made her story one I will never forget.

In her memory, I created Wings of Remembrance, a silver eagle choker with her wings spread wide—symbolizing strength, freedom, love, and the beautiful legacy she leaves behind.

Some creations begin as an idea. Others begin in the heart. This was one of those.

Jackie — may your spirit forever soar above the mountains you called home. 🦅🤍

At the threshold of Ignis Fatuus Grid, time seems to stand still.
In this virtual realm born of OpenSim, stones whisper ancient legends, forests guard their secrets, and paths lead toward horizons steeped in mystery.

From Coralys to Guinguette, from Shalott to Forest Dragon Tower, from Saraneth to Phaedra, from Sybella to Yggdrasil—each region reveals a fragment of a dream, a touch of enchantment, a promise of escape.
Here, castles rise like dreams carved in stone, woods open onto the unknown, and the soul journeys to the rhythm of a medieval world filled with beauty and wonder.

Ignis Fatuus Grid is not merely a place to visit; it is an invitation to wander, to contemplate, and to dream.
A realm of shadow and light, where the imagination finds sanctuary and every step opens the door to an enchanted elsewhere.

.....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
Au seuil d’Ignis Fatuus Grid, le temps semble suspendu.
Sur cette terre virtuelle née sous le signe d’OpenSim, les pierres murmurent des légendes anciennes, les forêts gardent leurs secrets, et les chemins conduisent vers des horizons empreints de mystère.

De Coralys à Guinguette, de Shalott à Forest Dragon Tower, de Saraneth à Phaedra, de Sybella à Yggdrasil, chaque région dévoile un fragment de rêve, un éclat de féerie, une promesse d’évasion.
Ici, les châteaux se dressent comme des songes de pierre, les bois s’ouvrent sur l’inconnu, et l’âme voyage au rythme d’un monde médiéval peuplé de beauté et de merveilles.

Ignis Fatuus Grid n’est pas seulement un lieu à visiter : c’est une invitation à errer, à contempler, à rêver.
Un royaume d’ombres et de lumière, où l’imaginaire trouve refuge et où chaque pas ouvre la porte d’un ailleurs enchanté.

„Xara – frech, fokussiert, fabelhaft“

Diese fünf Looks wissen genau, was sie wollen: Präsenz. Kein Urlaub, kein Zufall – Xara spielt mit Kontrasten, Haltung und einer Prise Rebellion. Leder trifft Leichtigkeit, Schwarz flirtet mit Glanz, und jedes Detail schreit nach Charakter statt Kompromiss.

Wer hier auftaucht, bringt nicht nur Stil mit, sondern eine klare Ansage: Selbstbewusstsein ist das neue Accessoire.

Created a SummerGown with texture changing to various Hibiscus prints. This is my first real rigged mesh that I created solely, I am wearing Athena Avatar and the Body HUD works with it to alpha the parts. I included the Shape I used in Avastar to get a good fit. It is in the Waves of Courage surf shop for those who want to try it. The shape is in Contents of the Dress.

NOT JOKING: The Linda Kellie Season & Tribute is REAL - See text in graphics.

An in-place upgrade to the park is in progress and during this time, security is completely disabled until we activate the Linda Kellie THEME enforcement system. Everyone WILL honor Linda Kellie by wearing an approved costume during their Dismayland visit this season. NO EXCEPTIONS.

We are also going to honor LINDA KELLIE with a DISMAYLAND COSTUME BALL.
Linda Kellie Trivia - Linda Kellie Best & Worse Beauty Pageant & Fashion show

MASTER CEREMONY: TBA

„Xara – vier Stimmungen, null Langeweile.“

Die eine flirtet mit dem Wind, die andere mit dem Tiger.
Zwischen Jeanschaos und Blusenbrise wird klar: Haltung ist das neue Accessoire.
Und wer in Uniform kommt, hat sowieso schon gewonnen – nicht wegen der Orden, sondern wegen der Attitüde.

BK fuer Xara – Mode, die dich nicht fragt, sondern einfach mit dir lacht. 😏

✨ Xara bei BK-Mode – ein bisschen Glanz geht immer

Xara ist dieser Style, der nicht fragt, ob er auffällt.
Es tut’s einfach.
Ein Hauch Lavendel, der aussieht wie Abendlicht auf frischer Haut.
Eisblau, das so kühl wirkt, dass selbst Ventilatoren kurz aufgeben.
Und Schwarz, das nicht „dunkel“ ist, sondern eher „ich hab die Kontrolle“.

Nichts Lautes, nichts Übertriebenes – nur dieser stille Glanz, der Räume verändert, sobald du drinstehst.

Xara macht keine Versprechen.Es liefert einfach.

Drift to Coralys, where suspended islets pierce a phosphorescent sea and waterfalls whisper ancient legends beneath copper roofs.

Make your way between enigmatic towers and veiled paths: every corner holds a surprise—a forgotten sanctuary, a lighthouse that shouldn't exist, or a stone path leading further than you imagine.
Teleport, but listen: Coralys is not just to be seen, it's to be felt—let its mysteries call to you.

FR
- Dérivez vers Coralys, où des îlots suspendus percent une mer phosphorescente et des cascades murmurent d'anciennes légendes sous les toits de cuivre.
- Frayez-vous un chemin entre des tours énigmatiques et des sentiers voilés : chaque recoin recèle une surprise — un sanctuaire oublié, un phare qui ne devrait pas exister ou un chemin de pierre menant plus loin qu'on ne l'imagine.
Téléportez-vous, mais écoutez : Coralys n'est pas seulement à voir, c'est à ressentir — laissez-vous appeler par ses mystères.

There comes a point in life where you realize that carrying everything is slowly crushing your spirit.

Other people's choices. Other people's anger. The past. The fear. The noise. The endless need to control outcomes you were never meant to control in the first place.

Our people have always understood something modern life keeps trying to make us forget:

You cannot heal while fighting every storm around you.
Real strength is learning what belongs to you…and what does not.
Your attitude. Your effort. Your words. Your response. Your integrity. Your willingness to keep walking forward even when life gets heavy.

That is your circle.

Peace comes when we stop trying to control the wind and start learning how to steady ourselves within it.
Focus where your feet are. Grow where your spirit is planted. Protect your energy. Walk with intention.
The strongest people are not the ones controlling everything around them. They are the ones grounded enough to control themselves within the chaos.

- Dan George
