The Grande Phoenix is a reimagined and refined update of an original Moroccan-style build I created for the town of Devil's Fork in the Land of Xzar. I was never fully satisfied with the original, so I recently undertook a complete remodel and am now excited to share it with anyone who’d like to make it their own.

Designed as a charming boutique hotel, the Grande Phoenix features a welcoming lobby with a side bathroom. The lounge is a cozy retreat with a warm fireplace, a stylish bar, and a dance floor for social gatherings. The custom-built kitchen, crafted with full perm capabilities, is ready for anyone who wishes to add their own animations.

Upstairs, you’ll find three beautifully appointed bedrooms, each with its own en-suite bathroom. The building comes partially furnished, showcasing custom artwork I created, while leaving plenty of room for you to personalize and decorate to suit your style.

The Grande Phoenix is a versatile addition to any town or region, but of course, it’s yours to use however you wish. With full permissions, it’s designed for flexibility and creativity. I hope it brings you as much enjoyment as I’ve had in crafting it.

The gallery walls are waiting to showcase the amazing art you've all been creating! Please message me here so we can schedule a time for you to bring your artwork over. I'll need to add you to the appropriate group role to allow you to rez your work. For those with sculptures, I’m excited to find the perfect spot for your pieces as well.

There’s still time to create something for the fall exhibit if you’re inspired!

Theme: Dreamscapes

Art inspired by dreams and surrealism.
Focus on imaginative, otherworldly scenes.
Incorporate elements of fantasy and abstract expression.

The exhibit will open on Sunday, September 29, starting at noon grid time, featuring the vibrant and gorgeous Rogue Galaxy, followed by the beautiful Forest Azure at 1 PM. We had a third performer scheduled, but they can’t make it. If anyone is interested in filling that slot, either as a singer or DJ, please reach out to me.

Also opening is a collaborative exhibit by visual artist Cherry Manga and audio artist Nico Kalani on the Special Projects region, connected to the gallery. You can walk over or take a raft to explore their work.

At Le Beau Retrouvé, one of our goals is to bring the community together to appreciate and create art in Open Sim. We believe in supporting all artists, whether you're well-established or just starting out. Your work will always be handled with respect and displayed to its best advantage.

We encourage everyone to participate in this exhibit and future ones. I can’t wait to see what you’ve created! Thank you for being part of this journey.

Love, Light, and Big Hugs!

Last night, I was consumed by a dark dream. I found myself in a dreamscape of a desert plateau, unsure how I arrived.

I was confronted by swirling fog and spirits, as well as a dark figure with a glowing orb. Initially, I was filled with trepidation and the beginnings of true fear; but in the back of my extradimensional consciousness, I sensed that the figure offered not fear. Instead, it was an invitation to a dark and fantastic journey, should I have the courage to embark on it.

I gazed about me and saw a pale horse with a rider. I saw three other horseman, poised above me. Were these the four horsemen I read about in other spiritual guides, harbingers of a coming Apocalypse?

My deeper instincts told me "no" - these horsemen were pleasure, pain, ecstasy. The pale horse was la petit mort, a small death to be sure, but one from which I would resurrect.

This is not the Apocalypse we know of, but one of social norms and constructs and other inhibitions.

Shall I resist this journey?

SUNDAY BRUNCH ON THE PLAYA @ PARADISE LOST!
SUNDAY, AUGUST 11, 2024
11 AM pm grid time
grid.wolfterritories.org:8002/Paradise%20Lost/1544/1720/3086

BRUNCH ON THE PLAYA WITH DJ ILLUSIONS!

The magnificent DJ Illusions bids you to bring your mimosas and other mysterious imbibements and come enjoy the desert, camps, and his original music! Be transported to another dimension through truly interstellar musical adventure! You will have a true Tomorrowland experience with this talented and spectacular artist!

Your landing point will be in front of the Playa gate. For the full effect, set your environment on midnight, walk through the gate, and follow the arrows on the ground. You will walk through the camps, with the full view of the stage emerging. Massive and larger than life, plan on using your camera control to get a close view of the performers, should you desire.

Stop by The Artist's Brush Art Shop and get your art supplies, there are easels, tripods, canvases, brushes, oil paints in sets or individual, Artist's Pallets, colored pencils and there are plenty of art pieces for you to enjoy and purchase for $0, full perm too, all original creations of yours truly. And if you have artwork you'd like to showcase, we can fix you up at the Showcase Plateau with your own little gallery and up to 1500 prims. Stop in and visit and we'll talk. Blessings and much love, Lavia.

Important announcement:

I have updated all my Clutterfly Upgraded and Clutterflakes boxes. All furniture uses the recent SFposer version 0.91112 now.

This includes a number of bugfixes:

The Clutterflakes cuddle lounge chairs had all animations wrongly oriented because I had put them directly into the furniture instead of taking over the animation cube.

The Christmas firepit set had the animations wrongly oriented in one tree stump with blanket because I've discovered that one of them has the stump as the root, the other one has the blanket as the root.

So far, I have replaced all boxes in the DropBox in OSgrid:

I just finished this build and while it was intended to be a sort of a temple it ended up being something that can be used for anything. It could be an archive, a library, a temple, a synagogue, a church, a shop, a warehouse, the possibilities are endless. It's just across the river from Ezra's Antiques and Collectibles, it's free and full perm and waiting for you. Blessings and much love, Lavia.

What can you do with a 1 sim parcel?

In virtual worlds, the space you create and inhabit can become deeply personal and reflective of your imagination, preferences, and interests.

Ultimately, your virtual world is a reflection of you—your creativity, interests, and how you choose to interact with others in the digital realm. It’s a canvas where you can craft experiences that are uniquely yours, making the virtual world a deeply personal space indeed.

We are looking for people who want to be creative, and create their own special place in virtual worlds. I am not looking for free land collectors, but people who want to be part of a multi cultural community. Contact @zuzubahro or @safinemahoe2 for details.

Because a few people have requested copies of this Toltec Style Mall Shop that I built which is only 4 prims and all mesh, I have made it "buyable" for $0 or "copyable", either or. So if you like this shop structure you can get a copy of it. And while you're at the mall be sure to check out the many other builds that I've made from ancient to Medieval to Victorian to modern as well as other styles of shop buildings. If you like it and it's not buyable or copyable, just let me know and I'll see you get a copy. Blessings and much love, Lavia.

Happy Independence Day, to my fellow Americans, and those celebrating!

-Hug a soldier (or handshake)
-Thank a veteran
-Be grateful for your freedom and rights; many have fought and died to uphold them!
-Remember what it means to be the UNITED States of America---Together we stand strong; Divided we fall
-Love thy neighbor, despite your differences
-Remember it is about more than just fireworks and "blowing shit up", 'Murica. ;)

"Courtesy Of The Red, White And Blue (The Angry American)"

American Girls and American Guys
We'll always stand up and salute
We'll always recognize
When we see Old Glory Flying
There's a lot of men dead
So we can sleep in peace at night
When we lay down our head

My daddy served in the army
Where he lost his right eye
But he flew a flag out in our yard
'Til the day that he died
He wanted my mother, my brother, my sister and me
To grow up and live happy
In the land of the free

Now this nation that I love
Has fallen under attack
A mighty sucker punch came flyin' in
From somewhere in the back
Soon as we could see it clearly
Through our big black eye
Man, we lit up your world
Like the 4th of July

Hey, Uncle Sam
Put your name at the top of his list
And the Statue of Liberty
Started shakin' her fist
And the eagle will fly
And there's gonna be hell
When you hear Mother Freedom
Start ringin' her bell
And it'll feel like the whole wide world is raining down on you
Oh, brought to you Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue

Oh, justice will be served
And the battle will rage
This big dog will fight
When you rattle his cage
And you'll be sorry that you messed with
The U.S. of A
'Cause we'll put a boot in your ass
It's the American way

Hey, Uncle Sam
Put your name at the top of his list
And the Statue of Liberty
Started shakin' her fist
And the eagle will fly
And there's gonna be hell
When you hear Mother Freedom
Start ringin' her bell
And it'll feel like the whole wide world is raining down on you
Oh, brought to you Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue
Oh, oh, of the Red, White and Blue
Oh, oh, of my Red, White and Blue
