Mattie will bring you safely into the New Year, which hopefully will be a more peaceful one than this year. So, if you're not busy with real life, Mattie would be happy to meet you at the party location, specially made temporarily for this event to have a good time with friends!

To everyone else who can't be there, we wish you a Happy New Year in advance and see you next year!

News and updates...
Suzan Von Otto of Klamotto(https://opensimworld.com/hop/78282) messaged me last night to inform me she rigged my hair and made it two material faces, to be distributed freely with the nonrigged version. I will do this- but want to make a good hair hud for it first. Thinking of adding compatibility also with the "Decadence Hair Huds" I see floating around so people have even more choices.

2. I am making the main shops inside more cozy and finished looking. The idea is the newest or most popular things will stay right at the front outside but everything else goes inside eventually. Avatar stuff and hairs will go in "avatar magic" which is shaping into an "alternative sci/fantasy" beauty shop.

3. Just a few months away from new open source bodies and I finally fixed some errors I had with the Ruth2 V3 devkits...I have also legal copies of old maitreya devkit, among others from when I did things in SL. I have a few things I never put on the big grid and can, even for Athena users, because legal stuff for nonlegal bodies can be a "Gateway drug" to more legal content. And the problem isn't just going to go away cold turkey. So I can put my huge supply of "I made this, rigged it, it looks nice, never wore it in SL" on opensim. We'll see how it goes.

Welcome to the La Fountaine Hotel, the newest edition to Avedon Park. Come warm by the fire in our lobby after exploring the park, or check out the Piano Bar or our VIP Sky Lounge. For more privacy, check into one of the available suites. All are welcome and the hotel rules are posted clearly in the lobby. No magic allowed in the hotel and all deals made within the hotel must be honored! Enjoy your visit!

First things are avaliable...Cat avatars and a couple tree lady statues.
hop://hg.osgrid.org:80/Mythos/489/177/43

Cat avatars have my own self made original mesh bento head and home made skin.
It has a shape that makes the face look "purrfectly cattish".
The shape will look really freaky on your other mesh heads, but the cat mesh head and skin will look 100% fine with a more humanoid shape. SLUV and BOM. No mesh eyes- but system eyes work and other rigged mesh eyes will probably work.
Tail is bento-No AO included. Ears are static and can be tinted, retextured, squashed, stretched...

I have included a recent version of Ruth mesh avatar as a courtesy, with its normal head. Be aware the older versions of Ruth may conflict with the mesh head causing a "ghost head" to appear. Don't redistribute claiming yourself as creator(and tell people who made it when asked), don't put on SL or sell for money.

Statues are static mesh and prims, same perms apply. Sim has ongoing construction with signage, and a few ghost prims you may get stuck on. Be patient as we work out bugs!

The OpenSim Community Conference is, of course, next weekend. Here are five bits of info about the event. Did you know them all?

So come along and let's have some fun to groovy Nu-Disco beats.

The hottest shop in OS is: [shuts eyes, widens mouth, says in a nasal voice:] oh HELLO! The whole thing is the creation of cross-dressing founding father Jenjamin Franklin. And if there's a lighting storm, he'll tie a key to the end of it. No, honey, not his kite. This place has everything: Raffis, yeti-cabs—pedicabs driven by yetis—slowpokes, a woman with nowhere to turn...

oh HELLO: make the scene.

I have fixed coding errors I found in the Multi Sim Status Reporter Hud, aka the MSSR hud. I found a deeply obfuscated logic error which I fixed. I have also made it simpler for you to add or edit your sims. You just edit the included notecard inside the MSSR hud. Then when you click it at any time it will show the status of all the sims on the list. It's really great. I hope you get one. It's at cyberdatastorm.com:8002/Wizardry inside the little magic shop on the floor in front of the desk. It's great b/c if a sim goes into unknown mode before it goes into crash mode, you have a window of opportunity to save everything. :)

I am creating a few outfits of your favorite characters and adding them to the Classic Closet store. The first one is Nurse Chapel- Strange New Worlds!

**for the Classic Avatar**

Christine Chapel-Star Trek-Strange New Worlds

https://blog.trekcore.com/2023/07/star-trek-strange-new-wo...



Strange New Worlds revealed that Nurse Chapel helped develop the technology Starfleet uses to alter human DNA to turn them into aliens.

I adore this character so much that I wanted to create the outfit for her.
Pair it up with your favorite short blond hair!

Skyrealm Observatory...Deep in the heart of a majestic mountain wilderness lies a floating mountain that defies all known laws of gravity and physics. It hovers above the rugged terrain, seemingly suspended in mid-air, and captivates the imagination of all who lay eyes upon it.

"Amidst the vast canvas of the night sky, gazing at the stars is a humbling reminder of our place in the universe and the boundless possibilities that twinkle in the darkness"

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.
