Luna Lunaria^✦ @lunalunaria

You know it's a special moon event when I do a true Opensim Appreciation Giveaway. It's been two years since the last one. That is happening all this week at OSFest from Monday July 18th through Sunday July 24th. Everything I have out on my four merchant regions at OSFest will be free, with the exception of two structures still under construction that I will debut in the next month. Freebies include castles, entertainment venues, statues, landscaping, airships, and decor of all kinds - if you see it you can get it for free.

DON'T MISS THIS

In addition, there are nearly 25 merchants participating with me in a massive sales event all week - sales prices and freebies galore. Supporting is caring, and encourages quality creators to set up shop in opensim.

Start here, then look for the merchant teleport board: grid.opensimfest.com:8022:HG-Welcome

I was excited to be featured in Focus Magazine, an online publication dedicated to art in the metaverse. They also gave me the opportunity to talk about the upcoming OSFest 2022 at length. You can find my article on page 92, but everything in this issue was fascinating for me:

DON'T MISS OUT! LAST THREE DAYS OF THE MERCHANT SALES EVENT AT OSFEST!

There are only 3 days left on The Merchant Sales Event going on now at this year's OSFest! After Saturday evening's Burn Party, all sales will end. This is a grid-wide event with multiple merchants with deals, steals, and freebies galore! There are merchant teleport boards like the one pictured that are spread around the grid for convenience.

Lunaria Emporium is holding its biggest sale of the year. All of my castles and entertainment venues are 75% off Kitely Market prices, and most of my other smaller items displayed everywhere are free, including furniture, statues, decor, and some Egyptian pieces.

My cemetery is available for a limited time at OSFest for 20% off Kitely Market prices. Grab it before it's gone. Note: I no longer include the eep environment since those only work on the grid they're created on.

Look for the club sign at the main landing for Luxor then click the sign to teleport to the club.

I would recommend visiting the region prior to the event to allow your viewer to cache everything ahead of time, and if you would like a tour of the region, come along with HG Safari on Wednesday September 27th.

Sharing an upcoming event on one of the grids I'm on :-)

This Saturday, June 17th, a unique one-time-only GT number will be performed at Fetish Fire! 3pm grid time!

This Saturday's set at Fetish Fire is going to be truly spectacular. It's a theme night of "Celebrations," as we'll celebrate some very special birthdays this month. On top of that, the Golden Touch is doing a very special number called Golden Fire. It's a one-time-only showing of a number more intimate than ever by GT. So come over at 3pm grid time to Fetish Fire at the Adult Hub. Listen to good music, be inspired by our dances, and join in the happiness of Celebrations! Limos will be ready.
(This event **is** open to Hypergrid visitors!)

Save the date, Opensim Fest 2023 is coming! A tentative date has been set for September 15th - 30th. I'll post more here when the web site is up and running again. In the meantime, you can find all the latest news and information in their Discord server here: https://discord.gg/2dcCK2cv

I'm on multiple grids on Opensim, mainly to have options if one closes. Each has it's charm, but I wanted my main regions to be on Wolf Territories Grid, simply because the owner Lone Wolf has done an unbelievable job with the grid in so many ways. Here is a recent video on some of the upgrades he's done https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d5h-JHgtWu0

Here's another pic of additional cemetery items

You can view my complete line of cemetery items on the Kitely Market here:

Here's the most recent notice regarding OpensimFest 2022 from the admins on our Discord server, which is our main point of communication for all things OSFest:

"We are in the process of bringing the OSFest2022 grid online with the latest NGC code. This is happening one region at a time while we are testing to be sure everything is working. We will let everyone know when it is ready for access and subdivided parcel location choices and group invites for each.

You can join the OSFest Discord server here: https://discord.gg/wuH93Ugj

You can also see information on the website here: https://www.opensimfest.com/

Sneak peek on a new region build, details and location to come later. The pic is from the first of two 4x4 varregions. This was originally just a test build on a former small region. Still a lot to go - for instance, the pyramid is in the early build stages with no textures, and the style was inspired by the Ra mothership from Stargate.

Are you a region owner or grid owner looking for a place to hold large gatherings, events, and concerts? Tired of the generic freebie builds that you see everywhere and want something more dramatic? All of the venues above were designed with you in mind and tested in world with large, hosted events. These are attention grabbers.

You can walk through them all at my stores on Mobius Grid and on Kitely. Click on the Venues sign in the main lobby under Viewing Platforms. And while the builds look good under basic graphics, they look absolutely stunning with graphics set higher. Be sure to use Shared Environment to see the wonderful sky effects.

All venues can be purchased at multiple locations using a variety of currencies: Gloebits at Mobius, Kitely Credits at Kitely and the Kitely Market, Digis at two satellite locations on Digiworldz, and Paypal on Kitely Market.

Here are the addresses and links:

Coming soon: A new satellite store on Wolf Territories Grid at the Welcome Area

It's the Grand Opening of my new Lunaria Emporium satellite store at Emmalena Damour's Ocean Waves Mall on DigiWorldz ?

To celebrate, this $1599D Japanese group is available for free for a limited time in the front of the store when you join the group. The set includes the Tea House, the Pagoda, and the Hachiman Torii Gate.

You can find the Digiworldz store here:
HG Address: login.digiworldz.com:8002:Damour Enterprise Three

Make sure you're using Shared Environment and have Advanced Lighting Model activated, otherwise the store will look washed out and uninteresting

Chapter 11 - Maeia from my book Eos Renascent is now on Wattpad. You can read it here for free: https://www.wattpad.com/story/176823549-eos-renascent

“Hello little one,” Maeia addressed the apparition waiting for her. The girl appeared prepubescent, with long dark hair and stunning gold eyes. She didn’t answer, gazing instead into Maeia’s face with shameless curiosity. “You’re a little bold for a phasma,” Maeia continued, using the name her order called these embodied memories. Other phasma continued to walk near them and through them.

“And what would your name be if you were real, I wonder?” Maeia asked, not expecting an answer. Sure enough, she didn’t get one, just more of the same intensely curious stare. “Well, regardless, lead on, take me where you will.”

I’ll call you Leta, she thought to herself, the hidden one.

Leta turned to go, and without looking, reached out her left hand to take Maeia’s in hers. Maeia froze in stunned amazement, staring down at the small hand in hers.

I can feel her hand, she thought. That shouldn’t be possible.

Here's the calendar of events for Saturday, the second day of OSFest, with a ton of great talent lined up for another day of partying plus our first satellite event!

On the calendar starting at 11 am pst is our first satellite event on another grid - this time at Utopia Skye Grid. The Golden Touch Theater will be performing a show celebrating 10 years of GT. The Golden Touch Theater has performed virtual dance and theatrical productions spanning many genres and styles. This show celebrates a history of those productions vibrant with colors, styles, music, and joy. Do join us and suspend time to be transported into the whimsical and artistic minds of those in the Golden Touch Theater group.

Please Note: This is a satellite event for OSFest and will be held on Utopia Skye Grid directly on The Golden Skye region, which is closed to the hyper grid, so you'll need to make an avatar to see the show, but we have starter avatars set up & ready to go (including a fully set up Dinkie starter avatar & a setup Ruth mesh avatar), and account creation is easy. Go here to get started: https://utopiaskyegrid.com/

There's a Merchant Sales Event going on all this week on OSFest 2022 with great sales prices and lots of freebies! Of the nearly 25 merchants participating, there is a significant group hailing from Digiworldz (I have a couple of small stores there as well):

Dinkiewear by Llola Lane
LL Designs by Loriann Lamore
Tari's Creations by Tari Tari

My apologies to anyone attempting to visit my regions on Mobius Grid or Wolf Territories Grid the last few days, especially since I am advertising both at OSFest. The two grids have been down for a few days, both with asset server issues. I still have a smaller region at Kitely, but that one is a store only. I'll post a notice in my profile when everything is back up.
