JOIN US THIS SUNDAY, April the 9th from 3pm to 6pm Grid time (pacific time) for the GRAND OPENING of THE LAND OF XZAR, a beautiful, wonderous land of fantasy with an amazing back story. Your hostess is Star Ravenhurst and music will be provided by DJ- Metal Tango....we hope you'll join us for a great time of great fun and lively conversation with good friends creating good times.
Your taxi to get there is:
grid.genesis-roleplay.org:8002:The Land of Xzar
We'll save a place especially for you!

We would like to take this opportunity to say welcome to two of our new shop owners at the mall.....WELCOME - Ares Halostar and Ares' Gizmoes; and WELCOME - Moora McMillin and "Moora's Gallery". Ares has all kinds of really cool scripted gadgets that are a lot of fun and Moora is a photographer and artist who produces beautiful work. We look forward to a long and pleasant friendship with our new patrons. Be sure and stop by the Mall Region and check it out as we're adding more and more each week. Blessings and much love, Lavia.

Fully up and running now with no issues. I've also added benches, candles to light and places to pray. This is a place to memorialize your loved one be they virtual loved ones, real life loved ones, or even pets. See us about creating a beautiful, personalized memorial to your loved one. Visit the region and relax, rest, remember and reflect and walk away with your faith refreshed. Blessings and much love, Lavia

Okay finally we're back up and working for however long it lasts LOL. The lay out is different but I honestly think it is aesthetically comforting. I haven't restored the media yet, but that's coming soon and I want to add a few more things yet but overall it's ready for those who would like to visit, relax, reflect and remember the love shared with our loved ones. Blessings and much love, Lavia.

Haven of Memories if off line until further notice. I will be working feverishly to bring it back up. But I'm faced with the same issues I had the first time so I can't let that open to the public to have to contend with. But we'll be back soon...I promise.

This memorial is for little "Gracie". If you want to shed a few tears while you're building something, just do a memorial for a baby. This precious little buddy was just a year old plus a few days, when she crossed over and her Grandmother asked me to do a memorial for her. This was not an avatar, this was a real life granddaughter and I can't begin to imagine the depth of the loss felt by the family. I hope this helps bring them some comfort and peace. Blessings and much love, Lavia

A friend visited the Haven of Memories and in our discussion she said she missed her fur baby. I immediately thought it would be a good thing to offer a place for folks to remember their fur babies that have crossed the rainbow bridge. So Haven of Memories now has a "Pet Memorial Section" to pay tribute to our beloved furry, feathered and even scaled babies. If you would like your pet memorialized, feel free to contact me and we'll talk about what you would like to see. Blessings and much love, Lavia

The latest addition to Star Jinn Palisade Mall's "Urban" builds. Gram Z's "Amish-Country Barn". It includes sliding barn doors, dual silos, ladder climbers, and lots of room for imagination in your farm build. Come explore all of the builds and products in our mall for original content. Blessings and much love, Lavia.

Star Ravenhurst and I were honored to be on the Inworld Review program today, March 19th to be interviewed about Masala Al Kohav, Star Jinn Palisade Mall. It was an awesome time and it really let us talk about why we do what we do and what we have to offer. I'm including a link so you can watch it if you like. Blessings and much love, Lavia.

Well things are pretty much back to normal at the Haven and it's open to anybody who would like to visit there. When you do be sure to turn your "media" on and then just walk around, relax, remember, and rejoice in the time we were granted to spend with our loved ones. I truly hope this region will bring you some solace and peace in your heart and mind. Blessings and much love, Lavia

Check out our grid, the Genesis Role Play Grid. We offer structured role play at it's finest and as a role player you can take on multiple characters as you show you can handle it. The story line is already defined, so a part in it is much like being cast in a movie and our director is Metal Tango. We've recently relaxed the Plymouth Crucible so people can visit and see what the story and RP is all about. I can tell you there is nothing I like more than a long running story line that has a good story to tell. It includes vampires, witches, werewolves and more but not in any traditional sense and nobody is a "superhero", nobody is "indestructible" - isn't that a neat idea, villains and heroes with weaknesses and faults. Come to the Plymouth Crucible and check it out but, be aware there is a maze you must get through to get to the town and it's tricky, one wrong answer and...... " grid.genesis-roleplay.org:8002:Plymouth Crucible " be a part of a powerful growing story line.

Our beautiful Star Jinn Palisade Mall! It's not got as much as we'd like, but very nearly all of what you see on display are our original builds created with the open sim community in mind. Come and visit and explore a mall with a unique touch and design - all outdoor except the specialty shops. Our featured shops are GramZ's Country Creations, Star Ravenhurst Designs (She has a specialty shop and large section of buildings that are a must see), Fall's For You specialty shop of unique avatars, youth avatars and clothing, cleaned up and presented by our own Dusty Falls. Buildings that are "Thor" built and much more. It's best to explore the entire mall (region) rather than just stand at the welcome point and cam. C'mon, enjoy the journey, who knows you may just find something you really like. Everything is CMT and free for you. Blessings and much love, Lavia

My own little shop in the Star Jinn Palisade Mall features a full kitchen set with working dishwasher, oven, refrigerator, sink with water off and on. The fridge gives glasses of cold water though I may need to upgrade the script so it animates the avatar to drink the water.... :D. You'll find complete living room suits, lamps and even a complete set of dishes for on the dinner table. The Dinette set chairs have sits though no animation to eat, I'm sure eventually I'll get around to that. I hope you'll find something to your liking to decorate your home with - all of the builds are originals made with love, by me! Blessings and much love, Lavia.

Our Patio & Deck Furniture n Décor section features our original builds including patio/beach/deck tables with umbrellas and chairs, fountains and the tree bench. We will be adding much more as time goes by and there are plenty of shops in our mall to explore. These items were created by our own grid members right here in Open Sim and they are CMT and free for you! Blessings and much love, Lavia

Our Building Supplies department at the Star Jinn Palisade Mall! We have regular doors, sliding doors, interior and exterior doors, screen doors and doors with windows. We have stone wall sections both straight and curved and windows of various kinds, regular, fancy and bay windows. There are various door frames, fancy, modern, fantasy and arched and we even have a fancy mesh elven arch. We also have various pillar styles that you might like. And nearly everything is mesh and 3land impact or less. Everything is CMT and it's all free at our mall. Blessings and much love, Lavia

New adventure for me making dishes and cutlery. Here we have my spring violet table set and everything is modifiable, copyable, transferrable. This is a pretty complete set but you have to see it to appreciate it. You can find it in my little shop at the Mall. Hope to see you there as we have LOTS of stuff and new stuff being added every day - stuff that "we" on this grid have built. We love what we do and we hope you will too. Blessings and much love, Lavia

A friend asked me if I had a tree bench, you know the kind that circles a tree so you can relax in the shade? Well no I didn't have one so I built one, complete with sits enough for 8 people. Great serviceable décor for around your favorite shade tree. You can find it here at the mall and it's free and full perm. Blessings and much love, Lavia.

My newest creation, suspended ratan basket patio chairs and glass top table. Complete with sits just right click and select "sit" then adjust. You'll find it in our Mall region with the other patio furniture creations. And there will be more to come. Blessings and much love - Lavia

This Fantasy Manor is beautifully done and very detailed. It's based on the four seasons and includes a large courtyard ripe for decorating to your likes. The inside has a beautifully designed and detailed fireplace and large kitchen area and plenty of room on the next 3 floors up for whatever your heart desires including a room already textured for a bathroom. This Fantasy Castle Manor would be a great addition to any medieval or fantasy sim. An Open Sim original build by one of many talented builders on the genesis roleplay grid. While the mall is still very much under construction we're open to anybody who would like to visit and look around. Blessings and much love - Lavia.

Our newest addition at Masala Al Kohav - Star Jinn Palisade Mall....a Hospital building, or if you want a nice big office building though it is laid out to be a hospital. It has the emergency entrance in the back, nice big front entrance, working elevator and plenty of rooms and cubicles for your Hospital RP. Stop in and get yours it's free and full perm....Blessings and much love, Lavia!

Well I'm finally able to get on again but it's sketchy! Graphics are still really messed up at times, but after a clean install of an older version of Firestorm, it appears to be partially cooperating. This means I can get back to building at least and so, to celebrate, I've made this "Heart Bed" since Valentine's day is coming up. It's not scripted "yet" but will be eventually. However if you'd like to get a copy and script it to your liking, you can find it at the Star Jinn Palisade Mall in our Masala Al Kohav region. My new graphics card and power source are on their way so it's just a matter of time before I'm driving everybody crazy again. :D Blessings and much love, Lavia

I won't be on much or building much for a while my graphics card is having a stroke and in the process of dying. Working on getting a new one but not an easy process on a fixed income. Hope to see you all soon as I can.

My first feeble attempt at making a bed. I need to find the sleep pose ball for it and it'll be ready to go. Hopefully I'll learn to do more and nicer things. This will be available at our mall region in the furniture portion. Good thing it's free because I doubt anybody would pay for it LOL. Blessings and much love, Lavia.

On the brighter side!! Wicker Globe Ceiling Lights for anywhere in your house. They are totally copiable, modifiable and transferable for the next owner. Just touch the attached light switch and you have high, medium and low light settings, the 4th touch turns them off. The light switch can be manipulated in "edit select" to be on any wall you like it. Once you have it the way you want it simply touch and enjoy the warmth of the light. Blessings and much love, Lavia

A nice assortment of new table lamps, one style in multiple colors, free and full perm just for you. The fun part with our furniture is you can mix and match and have fun with your decorating tasks. Blessings and much love, Lavia

Newest item at the Star Jinn Palisade Mall, the Lilly Lamp! It's a cute little floor lamp that I may modify later, but it goes well with just about any decor and it's touch on and off. And it's free and full perm! :D Blessings and much love, Lavia

Another new full living room suite that has a tribal theme and I think you'll find it beautiful. The set includes globe touch lamps, sofa and chair with sits, round end table, oval coffee table and it's all free for you with next owner CMT perms.
Find it in Lavia's little shop in the mall. Blessings and much love, Lavia.

Expanding the collection of Livingroom Suites this one is done in leopard print, faux of course, with polished black wood and touch lamps and an oval area rug. I'll be working on fireplaces and hopefully, eventually, flower arrangements and candles for the coffee and end tables, for now it's just the furniture. Stop in and see, as I have several that I will be putting out over the next few days.
Blessings and much love, Lavia

Nothing beats a warm cozy fire on a cold winter's day, or even just to relax by or for some to get all romantic with. Whatever your desire, this fireplace is the ticket. It is designed to service 2 rooms at once with openings on both sides and it comes complete all you need to do is set it out and you've got your fireplace, logs, and even fire and sound (Thanks to Light and Sound Museum). You can find this here in our Star Jinn Mall's furniture section in the region Masala Al Kohav. - Blessings and much love, Lavia

My very first attempt at a fully mesh living room suit. It has a sofa, chair, coffee table, end table and multicolored touch floor lamp that works. The sofa and chair both have sits, just right click the cushion, select sit here and when you sit the menu pops up. The only thing not mesh is the oval area rug for obvious reasons, it's only one prim to start with. The upholstery pattern is "Peacock" and the wood is light walnut. The coffee and end table are brass, glass and wood. I hope you will enjoy this suit for your region as much as I did making it. - Blessings and much love, Lavia

Inspired by the very moving Viet Nam wall in Washington DC, this is my latest creation at Haven of Memories. This wall is dedicated to those who we loved but do not have pictures or a lot of information about, like date of birth or passing, perhaps all you had was a username or role playing name and what year they passed, just send me a message and I will add their information to the wall. As long as they are remembered they live on in our hearts. You can come visit them any time you wish and perhaps visit and pay respects to the others who are memorialized here. Blessings and much love - Lavia

I am a little confused because I see people complaining when they go to regions and try to copy stuff and get upset when it comes up "no copy" or there is a sign posted to the region that says, "Items here are not copiable". Some may not like what I have to say and some may agree with it, either way I don't care. The most of the things on my residential or educational regions are built by me. Not that I don't get furniture and plants which I can't build yet, but I do my own building and my builds are unique to my regions, made specifically for them, so you'll excuse me if I don't feel like sharing that with everybody and anybody who comes along. I did the work, I made the effort, I designed it and I did so to make it unique so why should I have to share it? Can you not come up with your own ideas and use your own creative juices to make your own unique things? Yes Open Sim is free, but that doesn't mean that just because someone is using it, they have to "give" everybody else their stuff that they've created and built. I've seen nowhere in the literature about Open Sim that it says you have to share your stuff. What it does do is give you a platform in which to create, develop and design for other people to enjoy.
Now I can understand if it's stuff that people know full well has been pirated from Second Life, which a large percentage of stuff in Open Sim is, however there are some outstanding creators, programmers, scripters, developers and designers who make their own original materials and if they chose to charge for that stuff that's their right, though I know most of them do not, they give it away freely out of the goodness of their heart. That said, I do give my stuff away, but it is located in our Masala Al Kohav region which is a whole region of nothing but freebies which includes original content and those things I've picked up from around Open Sim. The one thing I try to do is make sure that the original creator's name is on it and I can tell you that if it's pirated from Second Life the creator's name that you will see is NOT the original creator. So, here's the deal, if you visit any of my regions in grid.genesis-roleplay.org:8002 that are open to the public to visit, and you see something you like, just go to our Masala Al Kohav region and you'll probably find the very same item there all boxed up and ready to go for you. If you see something you like in one of my regions, and it's not in our Mall Region, just shoot me a message and ask me nicely, you'll probably get the item in a couple of days depending on how often I'm on.
If you don't like how I do things, just remember this....You don't pay my grid costs.

My latest build that you can find in our Star Jinn Palisade Mall. It's the LL Millberry Model Mobile Home. I named it for the friend who asked me to build one for them for their region! I will be adding a few more of them so there is some variety! Stop in and check out our "original builds", you may find something you really like! And if not, talk to me, perhaps we can build it for you, we have several awesome builders on our grid and they'd love to help you! Much Love - Lavia

I had for this lady a deep respect and appreciation and so created this memorial wall to her memory to reflect the beauty of the soul who was Veritas McMaster. May she know eternal peace and beauty as greatly and deeply as she created it in virtual for all to enjoy. She brought many smiles to many people may her joy be full in her eternal slumber.

We are greatly honored to be able to add a beautiful tribute Memorial Wall for a very precious man who did much to help many, Rudi Bakerly, was one of the most kind souls I have known and it was my privilege and honor to create this Memorial Wall to him. May he rest in eternal peace until we meet again at the rainbow bridge.

A very special THANK YOU SO MUCH to Cataplexia Numbers for this beautiful AMV Garden Cathedral which she built and gifted to me for Haven of Memories. It couldn't be more perfect and looks absolutely beautiful in the gardens. For this and other beautiful work like it I encourage you to visit "Meow" and "Occasions" where you'll find positively beautiful work by Cataplexia. And be sure to stop in and relax in the gardens built with you in mind. Much love, Lavia.

Just finished this "Stairway to Heaven" fountain which is located in Haven of Memories memorial gardens and I hope to add a couple more Memorial tributes. This region is open to everyone to visit, relax, reflect, remember and if you need to hold memorial services we have a large pergola/pavilion with plenty of seating. If you would like to commemorate a loved one and would like a tribute memorial built for them to place in Haven of Memories, just let us know we'll be very happy to do that for you. Blessings and much love, Lavia

This sweet lady was Jackie, Softwhisper Littlewing who was a DJ I got to know in Second Life and she was amazing and so much fun. We lost Jackie in 2020 to cancer and she will be forever missed and loved. I designed this memorial to her as a DJ she so loved music and dance.

One of the very first memorials I ever built was to Harriet, Spoiled Diva Riches. She was working on the grid I was on at the time building Helheim as "Hela" and having a ball. The last time we spoke was December 7th, 2019. She is greatly missed and still much loved.
