TOMORROW!! May 1st, the HG Safari gang will be touring our very own Haven Of Memories region. This region is dedicated to preserving the beautiful memories of those loved ones, family members and friends, human or pet, who have gone through the portal of the ages and crossed over the rainbow bridge, not with a goodbye but "Until We Meet Again". Join HG Safari for this tour of a beautiful region that is created and designed with special consideration and love for others. The whole Safari begins with with a trip to Pangea grid where Karsten Runningbear invites everyone to explore his vehicle workshop, where he scripts all kinds of transportation - bike, car, plane, and boat - even a special seaplane that lands realistically on water! Bring your physical vehicle script questions, and be ready to crash a few times. After that, I will guide you through a tour of genesis grid's memorial region where people can go to remember loved ones. I will explain the motivation behind the build. Join us for the HG Safari tour. Wednesday, May 1st beginning at 12 noon pacific (SLT aka grid) time. The tour start point is hg.osgrid.org:80:HG Safari - grab a notecard with the LM list on it and jump in the tour. I look forward to seeing you all there!

If anybody got this from our mall, please know that I did find an error in the build in that I'd missed removing some prim parts either because I didn't see them or they managed to "ghost" their way back in as sometimes happens, and were accidentally linked to the build. Either way, I removed the invading prims so that the mesh part is what remains reducing the land impact by almost 200. So if you got this house, I have the revised, corrected version available at the mall or just contact me and I'll send it to you. Blessings and much love, Lavia

The most recent addition to Stag Hollow, the Saw Mill. This is the interior of a mid 19th century water powered saw mill with a large circular blade. We are trying to keep things in this region as close to the era and history as possible to give it a more authentic feeling.

Well with the way Open Sim has been acting the last few days I kind of felt like going on the war path, so to reduce my stress I built these working Native Drums. You can add a pose ball and have your avatar play the drum or you can just touch and listen to an authentic Shaman chant with drum and flute in one drum and just drum in the other. They are touch activated and touch deactivated and they are depicted as made of Walnut or maple wood, buck skin, buffalo horns and feathers. These will make a great decoration or a great addition to any "wild west" setting. They are full perm and free and you can find them at the mall in "Lavia's Little Corner". Blessings and much love, Lavia

Stag Hollow is still under construction and it is a cooperative effort among various grid members. It took a little searching and a lot of editing but here we have a whole herd of buffalo grazing in the valley between the town and the Indian camp. All are welcome to visit and if you'd like to have a home on this region we can discuss particulars. There is a hot air balloon to ride or you can find a horse rezzer in the stables of the blacksmith shop. Tour the hotels and restaurants and enjoy the many homes and businesses in this small town of Stag Hollow. There really is a lot to see here and I believe you'll enjoy it. Blessings and much love, Lavia.

And it is all done, the Chateau de Marqueur Royal Manor, Courtyard Garden, Gatehouse and Security Wall, and Stables and they're waiting just for you in our Star Jinn Palisade Mall at our Masala Al Kohav region. I have it all set out so you can see what it's like and enjoy a tour and I hope you will like it. It's beautiful, it's free it's full perm and it's waiting for you especially if you're doing a medieval or royal region it's a one stop shop deal, everything you need. I hope you will enjoy it, blessings and much love, Lavia

We do have regions available for rent and the prices are very reasonable as are the prim allocations which can be upgraded if needed at no additional charge. We are a friendly grid with a good reputation and we'd love to have you join us. Our grid isn't just role play, it's about the role you choose to play whether it is building, creating, developing, decorating, designing, landscaping or social event planning, photography, art, music, or DJing, we welcome all kinds of things including educational venues. Talk to us, we'll work with you.

To all the role players out there, we are opening many of our public regions to role players to use as "sets" to film their role play. Perhaps you have a story to tell, but you don't have the time, or perhaps not the skill, to build a fitting "set" for your role play scenes but would LOVE to film your characters in action. We have multiple types of regions to use as your backdrop from the Ancient BC Era to Futuristic Sci Fi and they're here for you to use in creating your video. If interested just message me here and we'll discuss it. Blessings and much love, Lavia.

Allow us to invite you to join our Friends of The Genesis Roleplay Grid HUD. Here we'll place a walk through (collision) teleporter with your logo and grid address so that when people walk through they will be teleported to your grid and the region you select. At Genesis Roleplay Grid we are working to create a more positive and cooperative atmosphere in Open Sim and we're doing it by networking grids and sharing anything that we can to help our "Friends'" grids succeed. The process is easy, contact me, Lavia Lavine, and send me your logo and the address and rezz point for your grid's chosen destination, and that's it. It's just that simple. Why do we do this? Because we want to and we can. I will also be forming a group for this for all "Friends of GRPG" to join so I can send notices and other information to those who join. Blessings and much love, Lavia.

One of my very favorite flowers is the Gladiolus, and I haven't really seen any anywhere in Open Sim so, I got busy and did my best to reproduce my beloved flowers here in virtual so I can share them with everybody else. These flowers always make me smile they are so regal and beautiful. You can find them at the Star Jinn Palisade Mall in our Masala Al Kohav region at the "Create A Scene Garden Center". They're beautiful, they're free, they're full perm so have fun with them. Blessings and much love, Lavia.

Finally completed, though there may be upgraded versions in the future. The Chateau de Marqueur Royal Manor, a creation of my imagination is massive and as over 1500Li, but in open sim I'm told that's a drop in the bucket. Anyway, it has two large royal living chambers that you can decorate as you like, 12 guest or employee rooms each with their own fireplace, and there is ample space for kitchen, dining, library, and a social/ballroom. It has two massive dual sided marble fireplaces that are a little fancy, beautifully carpeted stairs and unique banisters. It also has a huge inground pool shrouded from prying eyes by lightweight curtains. I think you'll find this build enjoyable and fun and it's waiting for you in the Star Jinn Palisade Mall on the Masala Al Kohav region. It's free, and it's full perm. You can find it in the Isle de Marqueur region of our grid. ( grid.genesis-roleplay.org:8002: Isle de Marqueur ) It is boxed and waiting by the pool at the Chateau. Blessings and much love, Lavia

My latest and probably most difficult memorial build, not that it was hard to do, but that it is a memorial to my very first pet who was so loyal, loving and protective. Wolfie was truly my best friend and to this day I miss him. He was half great Dane and half Siberian Husky and looked very much like a Canadian Timberwolf, hence his name. He was the most adorable puppy and grew into a beautiful and amazing adult dog. His memory will be forever treasured by me, but building the memorial brought a few tears to my eyes, I loved my boy.
