"I Am So".
Whether it's inattention, inertia, ineptitude, or some other kind of in-thing, all too many people are lacking a profile picture. Are you to be counted among these unfortunates? Or perhaps you have grown tired of your profile picture and are looking for something a bit more...different.

Problem solved. Come to our new Profile Picture Shop where you have your choice of countless (mainly because I'm too lazy to count) interesting, intriguing, inexplicable, or some other kind of in-thing, profile pictures.

Some call me weird, to which I say, "I am so!" These pictures may be suitable for display in your home if not your profile. Whatever the case, just be ready to say, "I am so!"

Visit the new Profile Picture Shop, especially if you are bored and have nothing better to do. (Which is kinda why I made the shop!)

Although natural risks exist in Novale's Ocean in Summer
The biggest risk is not even being able to enjoy Novale
If you tried to come and crashed, try the following :

Do that prior to TP to Novale and enjoy but watch for jaws!

There are nearly 25 merchants, hailing from multiple grids around the Hyperverse, that are participating with me in a massive sales event all week - sales prices and freebies galore. Supporting is caring, and encourages more quality creators to set up shop in opensim to provide us all with the things that make outfitting our avatars and regions easy. For instance, I'm not a clothing maker, so I get all my clothes from original opensim creators.

DJ Rosie has a fondness for the year 1984 because that's when she graduated so it goes without saying that tunes from 1984 are some of Rosie's favorite! The 80's, of course, brought us sooo many new musical styles including Hip Hop, New Wave, Grunge and Hair Metal! The 80's also brought colorful and fun fashions!! The 80's music and fashions live on today for all of us, whether we were there or not! Rosie has chosen special tunes from the top albums from 1984 by artists like Van Halen, Pretenders, U2, Bryan Adams, Prince, Queen, R.E.M., Talking Heads and Bruce Springsteen! Come to Hot Daddy's tonite and relive Rosie's favorites and yours too!

The merchants at OSFest2022 have banded together to create a unique merchants sales event from regions all across the grid! It starts right now on July 18th and runs through the 24th. The good thing in virtual world tech is inventory is never an issue but time can be... unless you get in world as soon as you can and start using those Merchant TP boards placed seemingly everywhere. Merchant Organizer Luna Lunaria gets things started with unbelievable giveaways!

New release is out today.

I did some stylized garden gnomes.
You never know when or where you are going to need a gnome...they look mischievous when they are small or large, it's just the look they have on their, well, not faces. Maybe it's just their general demeanor :D.

I've included the textures in the package for those who like to mod them or mix and match the colours.

Have a great day!

Ever want to have your own Space Base? Created by @Fred Beckhusen and @Joe Builder Silent Refueling Base has everything you need for a working Space Base. There is a big rig carrying geoms. A CH-47D Chinook v1.0 USCG, C5 Galaxy, Towers, Satellite Dishes all the vehicles you will need too! When I asked Fred about it he said "What it might look launching the Valley Forge into space. The movie "Silent Running", with Bruce Dern, did not show this part. It is fan fiction, and has the same Aircraft Carrier "USN Valley Forge" they used as a movie set." If you would like to visit the original base please find it here

Please add this to your map: www.outworldz.com:9000:Silent Refueling Base
You will find it in your drop down list of Outworldz free .oars. Thank you @Fred Beckhusen #oar #oars #ferdfrederix#fred #JoeBuilder

~Ara~Nova~ ein Land geschaffen um den Geschöpfen der Magischen Welt eine neue Heimat zu geben.
Alle sind herzlich willkommen egal ob Elfen ,Feen oder Hobbits oder Trolle, auch Menschen ohne Mystischer herkunft sind gern gesehen . Respektiert euch untereinander und vergesst nie ihr seit auch alle nur Gast bei mir, so seit immer gerne gesehen.
Endeckt das Land mit vielen möglichkeiten, ihr könnt zu den fliegenden Bergen reisen oder schaut euch in den Höhlen auf ~Ara~Nova~ um
Endeckt die vielen kleinen ecken und lasst euch an manchen orten verzaubern.
Damit das Spiel auf ~Ara~Nova~ mehr Spass bereitet ,habe ich ein Elben Shop mit einigen hübschen Kleidungstücken für euch . Folgt einfach dem Teleporter.

Eure Taliya

~Ara~Nova~ created a country to give the creatures of the magical world a new home.
Everyone is welcome, whether elves, fairies or hobbits or trolls, even people without mystical origins are welcome. Respect each other and never forget you're all just my guests, so you're always welcome.
Explore the land with many possibilities, you can travel to the flying mountains or look around the caves on ~Ara~Nova~
Discover the many little corners and let yourself be enchanted in some places.
To make the game on ~Ara~Nova~ more fun, I have an elf shop with some pretty clothes for you. Just follow the teleporter.

Your Taliya

Someone gave me a bow & arrow. I think it was Moto. Anyway, I decided to script it so it would really shoot the arrows. I had to fix the rotations, so the arrows always shoot the direction you are aiming, and the local rotations so that the arrow head is always going away from you. I combined it in a package with my shootable target. You just rez the target. Then wear (ADD) the bow & arrow to your current costume. Next just go into mouselook mode, and click the left mouse button. Your arrow will soar through the air, and hopefully you are a good enough aim to hit the target. You know elves... We love our bows! :)
