2 years Soul, living with friends

Our program for today :

10:00 PDT Welcome Party with DJ Tailor
11:00 PDT Soul Man Group with an amazing lightshow & Gisela Blue and her cowl gang
11:15 PDT Tailors dancefloor
13:00 PDT Beas nightwish

We would be happy to have you with us.

Well, since I made the "Enchanted" section at the shop, I feel like I need to put new things in it. This always happens, I end up on a theme for a while (cough, cough polar bears).

So, I give you Magical Mushrooms (no, not those kind of mushrooms, that's another theme).

These Fungi have the power to be tree size and come in several variations including versions with 2 spore color choices.
All the textures are in the box for those who like to customize :).

Have a magical day!

Was wir euch fürs neue Jahr wünschen:

Nehmt euch Zeit zum Träumen,
das ist der Weg zu den Sternen.

Nehmt euch Zeit zum Nachdenken,
das ist die Quelle der Klarheit.

Nehmt euch Zeit zum Lachen,
das ist die Musik der Seele.

Nehmt euch Zeit zum Leben,
das ist der Reichtum des Lebens.

Nehmt euch Zeit zum freundlich sein,
das ist das Tor zum Glück.

Eure Nasti und Rudi Bakerly

What we wish you for the New Year:

Take time to dream,
this is the way to the stars.

Take time to think,
that is the source of clarity.

Take time to laugh,
this is the music of the soul.

Take time to live,
this is the richness of life.

Take time to be kind,
this is the gateway to happiness.

Yours Nasti and Rudi Bakerly

The first time ever in open sim, a magazine dedicated to Hentai in all its glory. This magazine will have you all racing to the store to get many copies. Hehehehehehehe!
It is rude and it is fun so please dont take offence. It is A rated but not malicious or ill meaning.

You can get old or new style vendors containing the whole range of Stark! magazines from the welcome area at Stark Islands.

Enjoy!!!!!!!!!!

Ps. Thx for all who advised the mountain box had a lot of asset issues. All fixed now and added tons of new stuffs. Just be patience when grabbing the box.. it has really a lot of stuffs inside and may take a while. Enjoy :)

After hearing of the sad news that Gertie Bumbtious left us on June 5th, we, Niki Stark (ex-wife of Gertie) and I decided to make a tribute edition of Stark! with some nice photos of Gertie. We will miss Gertie very much with her happy, positive manner and her legendary music sets!

You can get copies of the magazine and the vendors at the Stark landing point as always.

Rest in peace, Gertie!

🎉 Tour Script — UPDATED! 🎉

If you've been using the classic OSW keymotion touring script for your boats, carriages, cars, or balloons — it just got a serious upgrade.

📍 Region-Crossing Support
Your tour vehicle can now travel across region lines and come back, instead of being stuck looping inside one sim.

🔄 Resume Feature
Hit STOP mid-tour, and your vehicle no longer snaps back to the start when you continue — it now resumes from the nearest waypoint, right where it left off.

🔓 Two versions available:

Anyone (public access) — open to all
🔒 Group Only (group-gated) — restrict the controls to your own group

Same notecard-based route format you already know, same simple touch menu — just with cross-region travel and a real resume built in.

Grab it here: https://opensimworld.com/library?view=170

Questions? Drop them below — happy to help anyone get it running on their own build. 🚤🎈🐎🚌

A HUGE THANK YOU FROM THE LINKUP TEAM!

The LinkUp Team would like to say a massive thank you to everyone who joined us today for the Grand Opening of LinkUp Grid!

We are truly grateful for all the wonderful support, kind messages, congratulations, and encouragement we have received as we take this exciting step and place LinkUp Grid on the OpenSim map!

Today has been incredibly special, and we couldn't have asked for a better community to share it with.

Thank you for being part of the LinkUp Memories.
Here's to new friendships, new adventures, creativity, and many exciting times ahead!

With love and appreciation,
The LinkUp Team

The Fairy Frog Choker has arrived at Twinklebuds Shoppe—a silver woodland choker featuring our little winged frog, purple jewel accents, curling vines and leaves.

If you create in OpenSim, there is a resource worth bookmarking: Fred Beckhusen’s Outworldz Creator resources.

It is one of those places where you can arrive looking for one texture and an hour later realize you’ve found enough material for three completely different projects. 😊

Outworldz has collected and preserved an enormous library of resources for virtual-world creators, including:

• Creative Commons seamless textures
• Thousands of mesh, sculpt and 3D resources
• 1,000+ free LSL scripts
• Avatars and avatar components
• Animations and sounds
• OARs and IARs
• Building kits, objects and project files
• Tools, tutorials and other creator resources

One particularly valuable collection is the work of Linda Kellie, whose creations were generously made available to the community. Outworldz preserves a huge selection of her textures and other resources so creators can continue putting them to use. The seamless texture library alone includes hundreds of Linda Kellie materials, including fabrics, stone, tile, glass and building surfaces.

And it goes far beyond textures. The Outworldz 3D library currently contains more than 1,800 downloadable entries, including mesh, DAE/OBJ files, animations, sounds, OARs, IARs and complete resource packs.

The script library contains more than 1,000 open-source, copyleft and public-domain LSL scripts, searchable by category and creator.

This isn't simply a pile of freebies. It's a creator's toolbox and an archive of work contributed by people who helped build our virtual-world community. Fred has put an extraordinary amount of work into collecting, organizing, converting and keeping these resources accessible.

Before deciding you don't have what you need for your next project, take a look through Outworldz. Chances are Fred has already tucked something useful into the toolbox.

https://outworldz.com/

https://outworldz.com/cgi/free-seamless-textures.plx?count...

Create something. Experiment. Learn something new. Then build something wonderful with it.

Fred thank you very much for everything you give to the community, I have learned so much using your portal. YOU totally rock!

Some travelers collect postcards.

Others collect stories.

The Intergalactic Traveler has wandered the Hypergrid longer than anyone can remember. His suitcase has crossed star systems, his passport is full of stamps from worlds that no longer exist, and he never travels without a towel.

If you ask him where he's from, he'll tell you that's the least interesting question.

If you ask where he's going next...

He'll invite you along. Packed Suitcase included

Note: The promotional artwork is concept art created to represent each character. The downloadable OpenSimulator avatars are original creations built specifically for Gallumbits and are provided free with full permissions for anyone who enjoys roleplay, storytelling, and customization.

✨ BK-Mode – Wo Schmuck zur Kunst wird

In der Welt von BK-Mode verschmelzen Eleganz und Ausdruck zu einem sinnlichen Erlebnis. Jedes Schmuckstück erzählt seine eigene Geschichte – von der Tiefe des königlichen Blaus über die Lebendigkeit des Smaragds bis hin zum funkelnden Spiel der Farben, das die Persönlichkeit seiner Trägerin unterstreicht.

Ob zarte Halsketten, kraftvolle Armbänder oder verführerische Details – BK-Mode ist mehr als Schmuck. Es ist ein Ausdruck von Selbstbewusstsein, Leidenschaft und unverwechselbarer Schönheit.

BK-Mode – Trage, was dich einzigartig macht.

@FerdFrederix gave me a personal tour of Cinderella's Anniversary Castle, a beautiful creation he built together with Debbie Edwards. As we walked through the castle, Ferd shared the story behind its design, pointing out the incredible details and the many treasures Debbie discovered and contributed along the way. You could hear the pride, joy, and love they both poured into this project.

Then came the surprise.

Ferd placed the entire castle on my grid and told me to enjoy it as much as they do. I was completely overwhelmed by such a generous gift. Over the years, I've often thought of Ferd as a father figure, and receiving this on Father's Day made the occasion especially meaningful. Of course, true to Ferd's nature, he was the one giving the gift.

The castle is now open for everyone to visit and enjoy.

If you've ever wondered what makes Debbie Edwards and Ferd Frederix so special within our community, look no further than this castle. Their creativity, generosity, kindness, and willingness to share what they build with others continue to enrich countless virtual worlds and the people who inhabit them.

Thank you, Ferd. Thank you, Debbie. Your gift will be treasured, and I am honored to share it with the public so others can experience the magic you created.

🐣🌸 Happy Easter from Arkham Grid! 🌸🐣

2026: Learn to Create—Because Ideas Deserve to Exist

This piece began as a drawing. Lines on a screen. Nothing fancy—until those lines were extruded, shaped, and turned into something real. That moment never gets old.

I create jewelry by turning drawings into dimensional forms, and I share the how through tutorials because creation shouldn’t be a mystery reserved for a few. If you can imagine it, you can learn to build it.

My journey started in OpenSim, creating virtual jewelry people could wear in-world before ever buying it in real life. That experiment turned into something bigger: a virtual jewelry store that’s open 24/7, showcasing years of designs, iterations, failures, breakthroughs, and finished pieces. It’s a living archive of creative growth.

Here’s the truth:
There is nothing quite like seeing an idea move from your mind, to a sketch, to a finished object you can hold—or wear. That spark when it finally clicks? That’s the reward.

So for 2026, my message to the community is simple:

Learn something new

Make something with your hands (digital or physical—both count)

Share what you learn

Inspire the next creator behind you

You don’t need permission to create. You just need curiosity and the willingness to try.

If you’ve ever thought, “I wish I could make that,”—this is your year. Start drawing. Start modeling. Start learning.

Ideas are patient. They’ll wait.
But the joy comes when you finally bring them to life. 🌹

Wolf Territories had an amazing memorial for Luna Lunaria on Sunday. DJ Spirit was the last performer of the day and honored Luna by playing her song requests through the years. They say that if you listen to a person's favorite songs, you get a little more insight into that person. It was a lovely tribute. Luna's Real World Son was there and asked if some of it could be filmed.
Here it is, Luna's last requests.
