What you see is what you get. I'm not looking for romance or relaionships, though friends are nice family is better. Flattery will get you nowhere because I know BS when I hear it. If you're looking for a lover don't look at me, I'm not interested. |

About Myself
I'm a strong independent woman. Some would say I'm a bitch but I really don't give a crap what they think they are irrelevant in my life. I have no time for BS so save it, I don't need your platitudes, don't want your flattery, and for God's sake don't try to save me from my low self esteem because it just doesn't exist. Oh, and one more thing, don't mistake my benevolence for weakness or stupidity - I can pick a "player" out in less than 5 seconds of conversation.
My Interests
Wild life, friends, music and anything to do with "Space" and the universe. Intelligent conversation is an important thing for me as is logic. Loyalty is also important to me as is honesty.
Favorite Quote
Some me see things as they are and say "why". I dream things that never were and say "Why not." ~ George Bernard Shaw.

A pretty new Christmas Decoration for you. An evergreen wreath with lights, Christmas ball ornaments and red ribbon just waiting to grace your home for Christmas with quiet, delicate beauty. Mesh and 3D and full perm. You can find it in the Holidays & Seasons department of Star Jinn Palisade Mall in our Masala Al Kohav region. Blessings and much love, Lavia.
If I have a region listed "no fly" it is for a reason, mostly because if you fly in those regions you will miss the beauty of the hard work that was done to make it worth visiting in the first place. I know everybody likes to get around fast and if a region owner makes their land that you can fly over it that's all well and good, but if they have it set to no fly, why not respect that. I watched someone arrive, wait a moment, then they were flying which meant they had to use the command to allow them to override my settings and that, no matter how you cut it, is disrespectful and rude. So from now on, if I am on and I catch you flying in my no fly regions you will be banned, not because you flew but because you disrespected my settings and overrode them. I really don't mean to be a b**ch about things but this kind of blatant disrespect really gives me the red a**. Further when I spoke to this person they just hovered above me for a while then left without answering, again, very rude and disrespectful. Truth is, if you ask me nicely I would probably let you fly, and I also have teleporters out for fast travel through the region. Just don't use the command to override the settings I have. Thank you. Blessings and much love, Lavia.

Brand new for you, this display is for just about any American Patriotic activity you might have, but it was made specifically for Memorial Day (May 27th 2023) and of course the 4th of July!! It's in the Star Jinn Palisade Mall at the Create A Scene Garden Center...it's free and full perm - 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
| | Lynne Lundquist: Thank you Lavia....forever grateful 2 years ago |
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
The new Peace Enclave Museum located at my Safari Wildlife Reserve. This museum is dedicated to continuing awareness of our responsibilities to our animal friends that we share this planet with. While there must be a balance for healthy wildlife, to quote Mr. Spock "To hunt a creature to extinction is illogical", we must not allow continued poaching of these beautiful animals. It is my hope you will visit the museum and I will be adding to it and to the reserve as time goes on. This has become a very interesting project for me to dive into. Be Blessed, ~~Lavia~~

I hope you will enjoy this pretty plant and let it grace your home, office, club...or whatever. You can find it in our Garden Center and it is full perm and free. Christmas Blessings and much love, Lavia

My latest build is based on a picture of a building I saw, it was a very rustic forest home that had been abandoned. I instantly fell in love with the architecture which is very simplistic but beautifully put together, hence I decided to build it in world. This build is partial mesh which is very detailed especially the terracotta tile roof. This build is entirely mine from the very first prim to the last and I very much hope you will like it and use it to enhance your region or build. Blessings and much love, Lavia.
It's finally completed, the Lavine Mansion!! Inspired by a wonderful friend and amazing builder/creator/designer Koshari Mahana, I decided to create my own mansion borrowing a few ideas from one of her builds. This mansion has all the charm of the Victorian Era, with downright "royal" beauty. It has a huge kitchen area, dining area, study or Livingroom and a sunroom or garden room washroom/bathroom on the first floor, the 2nd floor boasts 5 bedrooms and a large bathroom, the 3rd floor has 4 guest rooms or dorms for visitors and the 4th floor is all attic space. You really have to see this beauty to appreciate the time, effort and detail put into it. It's only drawback is it has a land impact of 812, but it's worth every bit of it. There is one small porch on the front for the 2nd floor and two much larger porches on the back of the house for the 1st floor and 2nd floor. Stop by and check it out, it is on the 1st level of the mall grounds just below the fantasy floating homes. It's full perm and free for any who would like it. Blessings and much love, Lavia.

I had this townhouse out at the mall and did not realize I had forgotten to put a sales box with it. Today I made that discovery and well, color me embarrassed. If anybody tried to get this beautiful townhouse and could not, you will now be able to get it free and full perm and I hope you will enjoy it and that it will enhance your region with another original build by me. Blessings and much love, Lavia

This beautiful Pillar House was specially built for a dear friend's region to accommodate a people in her RP story. I am also making it available to others in Open Sim who would like it for their own regions. It features 3 levels, the first level being open for comfy outdoor activities like picnic or just lounging, the 2nd level is nice for living and cooking space and the top floor is for sleeping and bathing. It has a wrap around porch and is constructed of granite in various colors, polished brass and beautiful dark wengwood. Constructed to last many years, theoretically, of course. It can be found in the "Ancient Builds" department at the mall. It is full perm and free and waiting just for you! Blessings and much love, Lavia.
Looking for a way to expand your region or grid's reach and bring people back to your region or grid? Well here is that opportunity! Your own shop allotted 1500 prims in our Mall's Showcase Plateau! That's right, your shop and prims at no charge up to 1500 prims. You can display your work here and include a land mark back to your region/grid's shop or mall. Does it have to be a shop to give stuff away? No, it can be a shop simply to display what you have built and it can be in the form of slide shows, pictures, sculptures, or items unique to your creation. We want to let you showcase what you love so others can enjoy it as well. This is another way we can network and get to see the work of the many incredible creators here in Open Sim. Blessings and much love, Lavia.
Have a wonderful Father's day all you amazing Dads! May you receive today all the love you've given throughout the year!
Summer is almost here!!! YAY! And we finally have a few items in our Holidays & Season's department for Summer time. Stop in and check it out, in fact, take your time and check out everything, it is a huge 8x8 mall with creators like Thorvaldr Ragnarsson, Ares Halostar & Roland Francis contributing! Hope to see you soon! 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.
We have 1st and 2nd floor shared shop spaces available in our mall region that are rent free, we also have private shop space rentals with room to expand. All Shops include a touch TP back to the owner's grid and region to their main shop.
We also have regions available, just ask.

Not quite ready for our grand opening yet as we are still collecting art from folks who would like to get their art "out there" for others to enjoy and maybe even buy! Contact Star Ravenhurst or Myself for more information about the Le Beau Retrouvè Art Gallery and we'll do what we can to get you noticed. We all get by with a little help from our friends! Blessings and much love, Lavia.
Well they did it again, the left me unattended with building tools in my reach and so this is what happened, my 2nd attempt at a tree, this one is a lemon tree. It's cute, it's full perm, free and waiting for you in Lavia's Little Corner of the Star Jinn Palisade Mall in the Masala Al Kohav region of my grid. We can all use a little lemonade or lemon water and you need a lemon tree for the lemons, you really do, on your region, yes you do. :) Blessings and much love Lavia
Wishing everyone the very best of holiday blessings and may you have a very happy, healthy, prosperous and blessed 2024. HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
We had an awesome visit from the HG Safari group on Wednesday, September 20th and it went beautifully. Though we didn't get to share everything in the region, that leaves room to return and see the rest of this beautiful and amazing region. The animals had a blast, or so they said, seeing all of those humans in their natural surroundings and a few even looked pretty tasty to them. We all hope to see you again in return visits to see and learn more about conserving and preserving our beautiful world full of incredibly amazing wildlife. Thanks for coming, and please come again soon!
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.
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
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.
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.

We are back up and open for visitors, though there is still a LOT of work to do, for now the museum is completed and even has a short video you can watch about the endangered Forest Elephant of Africa. There are some animals, not as many as before but they will be restored over the next few days. There is a lot of landscaping done but much more to do to make it a beautiful trip for visitors. I hope you will visit and enjoy - Much Love, Lavia
This beautiful old Victorian style farmhouse was created by GramZ, you can find it in our mall region on the 2nd level builds. Hope to see you there soon!!
Today the King's Royal Court chamber was completed and the more I do with this region the more drawn I am to King David as to me, he was the most awesome earthly King that ever lived. Just find myself falling in love with him the more I read. map = grid.genesis-roleplay.org:8002: Jerusalem take a step back in time and enjoy the peace and beauty.
I'm working on a Japanese region and needed some fences, walls and gates so I created them. They turned out very nice especially the stone wall with the terra cotta roof tiles which are 3D and both sets are mesh with linked doors for easy set up. The stone wall has a corner piece to fill in corner gaps and they have a nice realistic look. So if you're planning anything that looks Asian, these may come in quite handy. They're free and full perm at the Garden Center here at the mall. Blessings and much love, Lavia.
Just in time for the Holiday Season, my new Rose Dining Set with a beautifully detailed table and chairs which include sits. It is all mesh and full perm, chair with sits is 2 prims and the table is 5 prims. Give your dining room a very elegant touch for the holidays with this beautiful dining set made just for you by me. It's in the Kitchen & Dining section of our furniture department. Blessings and much love, Lavia.
I've been working on this turn of the century "Store House" which is a Store and a House. Back in the 19th century and early 20th century, and in fact some places still today, are designed so that folks can run their business from the first floor of their home which was generally kept separate from the living quarters of the house. This house is designed with walnut floors, sponge plaster ceilings, acacia wood trim and lattice (semi Tudor) windows. It has three chimneys which service all three floors. There was little to no indoor plumbing back then and the type of heat we have today did not exist so they had either a fireplace or coal or wood stove on each floor to provide adequate heat. Some homes did have hand pumps for water in them but most water was carried in buckets from a well nearby and heated on the coal or wood stoves to use for cooking, cleaning, laundry and bathing. If you happen to be working on a western or midwestern town setting, this build would be perfect for you. A little piece of history always adds a authentic touch to any region. It is full perm, however, it is total mesh so removing parts is not advisable, however you may re texture it, just understand that even back then, when they found wallpaper (most folks only had wood or plaster) they used the same wallpaper in every room, so if you re texture the entire inside of the build will be that texture. The walls are two faced in that you can put one texture on the outside of the building and a different one on the inside and all of the baseboards are a different texture. You may copy it and or transfer it or share it to others. Just have fun with it...Blessings and much love, Lavia
Something I've been working with for a while now was how to make a decent tree trunk and branches and finally, at last, I got one that doesn't look too bad. It's a North American Pignut Hickory, or what we always called a Hognut tree. They're beautiful and provide lots of shade especially when you're on a walk through the woods in the summer and they smell so good in the fall, and the hickory wood burning on a campfire or in a fireplace smells so good! Anyway, it's at the mall in the garden center waiting just for you to beautify your region. Pop in and take a look around and go a little "nuts"...pun intended. The tree is fully mesh and just 1 prim and it's full perm and free. Blessings and much love, Lavia
Aretuza on the planet Amasango is designed to be fandom RP for fans of "The Witcher" and beyond. Set in an alternate dimension or universe it follows the adventures of Garalt, Yennifer, Tissaia and others as they adjust to their new surroundings after they "die" in their original universe. This has the potential to be some really great and fun RP for serious role players who don't need a lot of "props" and are good at descriptions and textual RP as well as visual RP. Just contact me if you're interested.

I build this for a friend, a tree hut with a deck and a log bridge in between. It is not yet available at the mall but will be soon enough. It is small though the tree is big and the deck is a good size for dances and such. Access from the ground is via a teleporter. Once my friend gets their copy first, I will make it available to all at the mall. Blessings and much love, Lavia

Because a few people have requested copies of this Toltec Style Mall Shop that I built which is only 4 prims and all mesh, I have made it "buyable" for $0 or "copyable", either or. So if you like this shop structure you can get a copy of it. And while you're at the mall be sure to check out the many other builds that I've made from ancient to Medieval to Victorian to modern as well as other styles of shop buildings. If you like it and it's not buyable or copyable, just let me know and I'll see you get a copy. Blessings and much love, Lavia.

Our newest shop at the Mall is The Artist's Brush Art Shop. Here you will find original art and sculptures as well as AI generated artwork any of which will add a beautiful touch to your region or home. There is a lot here but there is so much more to come. Stop in and fill your shopping bag because it's all free and full perm. Blessings and Much Love, Lavia
Okay I think things are finally, at last, for the time being, hopefully rearranged to be more easily accessible for everyone at the Create A Scene Garden Center and in fact the entirety of the Masala Al Kohav Mall. There is so much going on here that at times it's a little hard to keep up with, but it's all good goings on!! Stop in and shop all day if you like. Visit all of our in house creator's shops like Ezra's Antiques and Collectables, Thor's Forge, Fall's For You (Animesh People) and my own "Lavia's Little Corner". We have a very wide assortment of items ranging from houses to plants and everything in between. We're working on building new stuff as well so that you have original content as well as items from around Open Sim. And don't forget to ask about our "Showcase Plateau" which allows folks to advertise their grid, region, or shop not just for a week or a month, but year round for free with an allowance of 1500 prims. Word of mouth is always the best advertising you can get and we're here to help you get seen and heard. Blessings and much love, Lavia.
Hey folks! Sorry about the mess and confusion at the mall, but we're re arranging things to make it better and more streamlined for our customers! We should have it all done by the end of the day today, early tomorrow morning at the latest. So bear with us we've got all the little people working their butts off to get it done! Thank you for understanding because until it's done the teleport system is going to be a wild ride !!!
ATTENTION! If you rent/lease your grid or region through Masala Estates, I have a special offer for you! We have created a spot at the mall for the Masala Estate Partner Grids for you to advertise your grid by getting your own beautiful walk through portal like the one's in this picture. Unadecal is awesome and our goal is to help Masala Estates with unity among the grids and regions who deal with Masala Estates. If you would like to advertise your region or grid as a Masala Estates Partner Grid/Region contact me here in instant message or in world. These portals are beautiful and easy to use, just walk through. You determine where you want new visitors to land and we set you up with your very own portal. There is absolutely no charge or rental for this service, we just want folks to know how awesome it is to work with Unadecal and Masala Estates!!
A great grid with a good reputation and reliable, reputable friendly service.

Breedables MarketPerhaps your region is not working because I can find it but not teleport there as it's not accepting visitors from my world. I sometimes get that when the region I'm trying to go to is down on my grid. If, however, you do not wish visitors, then perhaps turning off the beacon would be a nice thing to do.
Zweet ZurroundingZAll I can say is HOLY MOSES!! My goodness what a positively gorgeous place, one you'll want to just take your time and mosey around to see all the beautiful landscaping and animals and just WOW. Awesome Job!
ThorvaldslandThis place is a work in progress but what Thorvaldr has done is so beautiful and so peaceful, I love to go there and just roam around and let my mind drift off to a simpler more peaceful time. Great job Thorvaldr and Chloe.
TemptationsSo MUCH wonderful stuff , well arranged, awesome job.
Wet DreamsAwesome place with great stuff and so well organized and laid out making it easy to find what you might be looking for. Good Job!!
iknimayaGorgeous creation and so very peaceful. The colors are easy on the eyes and the arrangement well thought out. I'm always amazed by Mari's talent and eye for beauty and detail. A must visit for any who appreciate peaceful, enchanting places.
MegaStore housesAwesome stuff here! nicely organized quality stuff and I hope to see more!
LittlefieldThis place is an awesome place to shop and I like the respect they show for other creators and builders. Beautiful stuff, well laid out and organized. Good Job!
Paraiso das CalopsitasThis is certainly a great region with all kinds of things one can use to decorate, build and create with. Awesome job!!
NeiferleafI really can't say enough good about this region or it's owner, Roland is just awesome and so kind hearted. The region is so inviting and relaxing to just stroll through or ride a horse, it's a must see.
