While I love the interior of the new Majestic Ballroom and don't want to change a thing, I am not happy at all with the exterior (pictured), since I feel it doesn't sufficiently capture the Art Deco style. So I'm pulling the venue for now to rework the outer facade. There is a ton of architectural inspiration all over the world to draw from. I'll send upgrades to those who have already purchased the current version once it is complete.

LAUNCH DAY
this Morning 11am Grid Time - The Rockin' The Seas Cruise Launch Party kicks off!

Bring yourself, bring your friends, bring your step brother! Wear your bikini, or find a brand new one in the Gift Shop!!!

Where: hop://hg.neverworldgrid.com:8002/Redwood%20Bay/51/15/22
Time: 11 a.m.
This Launch Party is a double cruise and it's length is 3 Hours. Stay for half, stay for the whole thing! Up to you.
Four Entertainers will be sharing their talents between ports-of-call.

Kein Applaus für Scheiße: Die ungeschönte Realität der Sleaford Mods

Ein schaler Biergeruch hängt in der Luft, gemischt mit dem Dunst kalten Zigarettenrauchs. Irgendwo läuft leise ein Fernseher, Nachrichten über Sparmaßnahmen, steigende Preise, die übliche Leier. Auf einer kleinen, improvisierten Bühne steht ein Laptop auf einem wackeligen Tisch. Daneben ein Mann, Mitte vierzig, starrt ins Leere, nippt an seiner Dose, während aus den Boxen ein roher, repetitiver Beat dröhnt, ein Basslauf, der sich wie ein Magengeschwür anfühlt. Dann tritt ein zweiter Mann ans Mikrofon, drahtig, energiegeladen, spuckt Worte aus, die keine Melodie suchen, sondern die Wände tapezieren mit dem Frust, der Wut und der absurden Komik des Alltags am unteren Rand der Gesellschaft. Es ist kein Konzert im klassischen Sinne, eher eine öffentliche Abrechnung, eine akustische Momentaufnahme des Zerfalls. Willkommen in der Welt der Sleaford Mods.

I made this memorial frame after my cat passed away. I wanted something to put in my Opensim home to remember him. You can edit the item and delete the example pictures inside, and replace them with pictures of your own pet(s). The frame will cycle through the images.

The story of the rainbow bridge, where pets and owners are reunited in the afterlife is told to children to help them cope with the loss of a beloved pet. As an adult, I still find the message that we will one day meet again comforting. I hope it can do the same for you. Big hugs to anyone who has lost a furry family member. I placed it at Moana's landing point and it is full perm so please feel free to share with anyone who may like it.

Love,
Gentle

After almost 2 years in development (yeah i'm slow), I realize it could be another 2 years before the Chased region is ready. So i've decided to open up for testing. You are invited to come for some random surprises and fun. I'm not giving away much info here, you'll find out when you get there...

A damage enabled fae region full of surprises and pretty (and dangerous) things. Some basic skills like knowing how to run and jump, will keep you alive a little longer. Things are random, even I frequently die there!

My regions are hosted on my pc, and can run only a few avatars at once. If by chance the region has many visitors and you find lag, you might want to come back later when its quiet.
