John Mayall – Der Vater des britischen Blues

Wenn man die Geschichte der Rockmusik betrachtet, stößt man unweigerlich auf Namen, die wie Monolithen in der Landschaft stehen.
Doch hinter den glitzernden Fassaden von Bands wie Fleetwood Mac, Cream oder den Rolling Stones
verbirgt sich oft ein gemeinsamer Nenner, ein Fundament, auf dem diese Paläste errichtet wurden.
John Mayall war genau dieses Fundament ...

🎀 BK-Mode Shopping-Park: Wo dein Avatar den Laufsteg übernimmt – und zwar mit Attitüde! 🎀

Vergiss Basics, vergiss brav – BK-Mode serviert jetzt Looks, die nicht nur gut aussehen, sondern dein Inventar in Ekstase versetzen. Zwischen Glitzer und Grunge, Kuscheltier-Rucksack und Couture-Geflüster wird hier nicht gestylt, sondern gestanzt: Persönlichkeit in Pixeln, Stil mit Punch.

Ob du heute Diva, Dandy oder digitaler Daydream bist – diese Kollektion kennt keine Kompromisse. Sie flirtet mit dem Chaos, tanzt auf dem Trendradar und sagt deinem alten Outfit: „Danke für nichts.“ BK-Mode ist wie ein Modemagazin auf Espresso – schnell, frech, und immer ein bisschen zu gut, um wahr zu sein.

👠 Also: Avatar anziehen, Ego polieren, Shopping-Park stürmen. Denn wer hier shoppt, trägt nicht einfach Mode – er trägt ein Statement mit Stil-Explosion.

Tumaini Umadya heisst sie mit vollem Namen und ist eine der jungen Frauen, die mit dem grossen weissen Schiff nach Carima kamen. Sie hatte auch an der Modenschau teilgenommen, die Lucius in den Apollo-Gärten organisierte.

In wenigen Stunden ist es soweit und auf Eternal Ice öffnet der 10. (und letzte) Adventskalender sein erstes Türchen!
Alle Geschenke bleiben bis Anfang Januar 2026 erhältlich, danach wir die Region Eternal Ice nicht länger auf OSW gelistet. Danach gehen die Teleports nur noch über die Karte ( pangeagrid.de:8002:Eternal Ice ) oder eine bestehende Landmarke.

Frohe Vorweihnachtszeit!

* * * * *

In just a few hours, the 10th (and final) Advent calendar will open its first door on Eternal Ice!
All gifts will remain available until early January 2026, after which the Eternal Ice region will no longer be listed on OSW. After that, teleports will only be possible via the map (pangeagrid.de:8002:Eternal Ice) or an existing landmark.

Happy holidays!

Wrote an article this morning because I was asked how I created flowers. One method is torturing prims, and I love to use the polar array in Blender to create flowers but another is to mod by creating flowers out of neat parts! For many of us it is a passion to find cool items that are full perms and then take the parts and mod them into a new item.

Phx by BK-Mode: Vier Outfits, ein Abenteuer.

🌈 Heute Fee, morgen Forscherin, übermorgen Blümchen-Boss – wer sagt, dass Kinder sich entscheiden müssen? 🧚‍♀️ Mit Flügeln durch den Tag flattern, Sternenstaub im Haar und ganz viel „Ich mach das jetzt so!“ 🎽 Sportlich unterwegs? Klar – aber bitte mit Farbe, Spaß und einem Hüpfer mehr als nötig. 🧥 Wenn’s draußen fröstelt, kommt das Mantel-Mädchen mit Gürtel und Geheimmission. 🌸 Und wenn die Sonne lacht, blüht das Kleid gleich mit – bereit für Picknick, Pfützensprung und Puppenrat.

Phx ist für Kinder, die jeden Tag neu erfinden – und dabei aussehen, als kämen sie direkt aus einem Gute-Laune-Comic.

Kitely Winter Fair: your booth design can be rewarded!
After the huge success of our 2024 Winter Fair, we simply had to bring it back for another sparkling edition! ❄️✨
And this year… we want YOU to be part of the enchantment. it will be in the Kitely world Catronian Archipelago.


We warmly invite all merchants to reserve their spot at our charming winter market. Each participant can claim two stalls to showcase their creations — and yes, we love freebies… we really do! 😉 For the best design we offer a prize in dollars ( you need a PayPal account).

Imagine your stall set in a picturesque, old-European village square (think Dutch–German vibes), gently dusted with snow. Around you: twinkling Christmas lights, cosy market huts, waffles and warm drinks, music in the air, excited visitors hunting for decorations… and of course, talented artists turning the little houses into a magical gallery trail.

Our market is nestled in the heart of a 12-sim-wide Winter Wonderland, home of the legendary 11 Cities Skating Tour!
Find the checkpoints, collect the stamps, earn the trophy — and maybe even secure a proud place in the Skaters’ Hall of Fame. ⛸️🏆

This fair traditionally attracts a huge crowd, so early reservations are highly recommended. Many booths are already taken. There is no need to be a highly skilled designer or builder, it is for the fun of participating.
To secure your two stalls, please send an IM to Trouble Ahead.
