ANNOUNCING our newest department at the mall - "Heating & Cooling" and we'll have some cool stuff and hot deals for you!!! These two fireplaces are two of my original builds, but only two. There will be others and yes we'll have a few "imported" fireplaces and other items, but I will do my best to build many more items than are imported. What I have been doing is taking the houses I've built that have "heating" units and unlinking the units from the homes then placing them independently in the Heating & Cooling department. Stop in and have a look around though this department is only just beginning so it only has a few items in it..but more is coming, I promise! Blessings and much love, Lavia

All our times have come
Here but now they're gone
Seasons don't fear the reaper
Nor do the wind, the sun or the rain
We can be like they are...
-- Donald "Buck Dharma" Roeser

Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened.

Thorvaldr has been a busy fellow creating and building and now offering his builds in these handy dandy boxes that you just touch to receive the build for yourself. Thor's builds are all Norse/Viking/Medieval in nature so stop by the mall and go to Thor's Forge to get your own!!

I left the confines of my grubby room of questionable privacy. The desert called to me, so I went. The further away I strolled revealed more signs of life...but I question the variety thereof.

The hills have eyes...

"Wild, dark times are rumbling toward us, and the prophet who wishes to write a new apocalypse will have to invent entirely new beasts, and beasts so terrible that the ancient animal symbols of St. John will seem like cooing doves and cupids in comparison."
-- Heinrich Heine

Welcome to the Hotel California
Such a lovely place (such a lovely place)
Such a lovely face
Plenty of room at the Hotel California
Any time of year (any time of year)
You can find it here

In my desert journey, I came upon an abandoned petrol station in a ghost town. I didn't dare seek shelter there, but slept across the road on the warm ground. I gave it the light of day, but does it look better? I still feel unease...

"What powerful but unrecorded race
Once dwelt in that annihilated place"
-- Horace Smith

The shop is coming along with many of the items set up for sale for $0 and I am steadily working to get it all set up for you. If you see something you want but it isn't set up for sale yet, let me know and I will get it to you.
This beautiful bar is now available for your pleasure and you can get it for next to nothing! You have to admit, $0 is a pretty good deal!
All of my content is created by me, so if you are looking for original creations, none of the items in my shop are copybotted. Maybe you will find something you like or something you didn't know you needed. Welcome friends!

Immerse yourself in lush, bioluminescent forests, soaring floating mountains, and serene waterfalls that create a haven of tranquility and wonder. Iknimaya a Pandoran Paradise...

Paradise Lost is proud to present The Art Journey: An Exploration of Generative AI Images by Doc Nolan

Doc Nolan has been in virtual worlds for nearly 2 decades. He has always had a part in virtual world art through virtual world photography, then drawing, and now, in generative AI. Doc draws inspiration from a variety of life experiences, both real and virtual. His lifelong journeys as an avid hiker and international traveler have heavily influenced his choices in art, as well as his personal relationships and interests.

Come explore this medium through the eyes of Doc Nolan, wandering through a forest filled with forest nooks and hidden spaces, with beautiful areas for your contemplation of what you see and experience. Immerse yourself, explore, experience.

At Masala Al Kohav Mall something small but very useful, a wall and window set. One wall has the window already installed and is mesh, the single window is Mesh but the wall is simple prim The texture is rustic and can be modified to whatever texture you like and so can the window. These are in our "Building Supplies" department at the mall and they're CMT just for you. I will be making more building supplies available as I create them. Blessings and much love, Lavia.

ART & FRIENDS, along with the artists Azi AZ, Patinha Babii, Tina Bey, Caro Fayray, Elmo Figaro, Youca Godel, Morning Glory, Deanna janus, Victoria Logan, Lando Maremagnun, Nemo Night, Bonnie Oppewall, Victorious Oppewall, Valeria Rossi.
They invite all of you to the Opening of the exhibition We Are OsGrid.

My virtual campaign office at Kawabunga Bay surf region. I am running for State Representative in RL (and likely to win). The people on my grid can't vote of course, but my Partner brought up the funny point that they are all virtual residents of Ward 5 in our city. So it is relevant. :)

Let me tell you about the Genesis Roleplay Grid - This grid was originally started by my daughter, Metal Tango, while I was on another grid with a group of friends. Things went south on that grid for reasons that I do not need to explain so my daughter extended a welcome to my friends to join us on Genesis Roleplay Grid with the understanding that each could have a 1 - 4x4 region with no rent to pay but donations if they could afford it. Everyone has worked very hard to develop this grid and make it a success and build up a good reputation in the virtual community. Seventy five percent of our membership on the grid are Role players and we have fun when we get together, 95% of the regions are developed either for role play or personal use with a scattered few for other reasons because people like to build their dream region. It is a well organized, well run grid with an amazing tech whom we adore and those who were there with us from the ground floor up, working, striving and struggling to make it a success have donated financially as well, particularly Metal Tango. We have an amazing mall with incredible builds and most of the regions on the grid are regions that I personally have developed, some with a little help from other members. If you see a region under my profile, rest assured I built and developed it. But....no bragging, because I have been to other grids and some of them are positively amazingly gorgeous and well done and our Virtual Community is about encouraging one another and working together and supporting each other in our endeavors. Genesis Roleplay Grid isn't about me, it's about every single person on that grid for they are all precious and very talented in their own right, whether creative writing, building, decorating, organizing, everyone has a role to play in making the grid a success. So to our members I say THANK YOU! To my Daughter who has shouldered the burden for these few years, even while struggling through nursing school, I say THANK YOU! To the creative and talented Role Players who make it so much fun and interesting, I say THANK YOU! To the many contributing builders on our grid, I say THANK YOU! To our many (and growing) list of vendors, I say THANK YOU! Together we can do better. If you're interested in role play, contact me or Metal Tango. Blessings and much love, Lavia
