Long ago in a cellar bar far far away....

I was once in a bar with a couple of friends and an MC Hammer vid came on the TV.

MC had on his iconic "trousers", you know the ones I mean?

My friend, perhaps a little worse for wear pronounced that he could indeed fill MCs trousers.

I couldn't out do that boast so I had to go with:

"So could I - but I'd need a number 14 bus right behind me".

Gotta keep it real, right?

🌹 Thorned Heart 🌹
Love, wild and untamed.

With golden vines that twist and curl like whispered secrets in a dark forest, Thorned Heart cradles a fiery red ruby at its center—bold, defiant, and full of passion. Each leaf and curve tells a story: of fierce devotion, tangled emotions, and a heart that dares to love deeply… even when it hurts.

I was asked to record a video to show how I construct vines. This is another Thorned Heart ring in just a bit different style, a signet ring, this video shows how I construct the vines. https://youtu.be/WtPwU6FaWaU?si=KFhmiNuNQYNpS6Rg

THE FIRST STORE IS UP!

I normally dont put other peoples creations out in a store in my grid unless i have permission. But I had new members in my grid asking for BDSM collars, Arcadia who worked with lotek who brought the original opensim collar in world made some really great ones with script fixes. I was sad to hear he retired and she has most likely stepped back. I was able to find his collars thanks to a new friend and i have placed them out for all to enjoy. They have all been updated to the last version update I knew off and I have added a few cool animations.

If anyone who really new the owner of arcadia wants to make a special sign i would love to place it in the store to show where they came from.

Lotek was a good friend of mine and i want to continue to show the great work she has done.

there are also the owner huds and a couple of leash posts.

The Sun Voyager, or "Sólfarið," is a stainless steel sculpture in Reykjavik that symbolizes the sun, exploration, and new beginnings. It was designed by Jón Gunnar Árnason (1931-1989), who drew inspiration from a Drakkar Viking ship for the project, and it's one of the most visited attractions in Iceland's capital!

🌿 Spring’s Promise 🌿
A symbol of renewal, hope, and timeless beauty.

Crafted with graceful intertwining gold, Spring’s Promise cradles a deep emerald like new life rising from winter’s hush. The solitaire setting evokes delicate vines awakening in sunlight, wrapping gently around the heart of the season. Elegant and full of meaning, this ring is a celebration of fresh beginnings, quiet strength, and the eternal promise of spring.

Opening wednesday, 26th march! Gloebit mall of original mesh creations by Remmy Ravenhurst! There will be free gifts which also are not available anywhere in the metaverse. The idea behind this mall is to give original creators an opportunity to make a few coins here and there, hone and improve their skills, support each other, and ensure OpenSim can gain continually more traction as it's own entity, with truly unique items and people!

Some of us may have been around long enough to even recall the days of approx 2003-2008, where average players could create things in SL, hone and improve their skills, sell knick knacks, gestures, what have you...not to get rich or gouge each other, but, perhaps earn a few bucks with our work ethic. But all the big businesses, corporations, and college grads rolled in, had access to million dollar motion capture animation machines, expensive softwares and hardwares out of reach to the average user, and things like this. We happily choose to support other creators that have the "audacity" to ask a small pittance or few coins for their hard and original work.

ALL of these items are legally licensed or free use mesh. Most of it was custom textured by Remmy, and applicable furnitures have poses. Some may have various scripts, a few may have color huds. We will be posting the hop location on Wednesday, when it opens. Thanks for your support and encouragement, in advance!

This is detail from my sword Excalibur (my reimagining of that magic weapon), a mix of mesh and prim with completely new PBR textures. Although it is unscripted, I have included the pieces necessary for a weapons scripter: an unsheathed sword, a sheath by itself, and a sheathed sword. There is also a Durendal Sword that has been reworked in silver and black.

Walk across the lobby and through the Medieval doorway to find them.

I also just finished completely reworking all the lighting and furnishings in the Decor room at the store with all new pbr textures, as well as adding a few new items. As you enter the lobby, walk straight back to the right and through the Decor doorway.

Important note: if you land on the top of the cinema complex when you first arrive at the Emporium, take a single step forward to activate the teleporter to the lobby.

I just finished completely reworking the Japanese Decor room at the store with many new items and structures, all with pbr textures. As you enter the lobby, click the Asian sign on the right to go directly to the room. You can also walk through the new Japanese structures and landscaping by clicking the Japanese sign on the left to teleport to the full display area.

Important note: if you land on the top of the cinema complex when you first arrive at the Emporium, take a single step forward to activate the teleporter to the lobby.

Jupiter Rowland was wondering in an earlier post why The Virtual Museum had not heard about Opensim. This chart from 2022 from Metaversed Consulting is a reminder of just where Opensimulator places in the metaverse, and is very likely why the Virtual Museum hasn't heard of us. We're one of the tiny dots under Older Users. By 2024, Opensimulator didn't even register on this chart at all. Personally, I love Opensim and plan to be here as long as it's running, whether or not we are recognized by the rest of the virtual world.

This chart comes from here: https://www.metaversed.consulting/blog/120-and-counting

This is a restart. Unfortunately, Lipstix is down with OSGrid. But love must be kept in the air! Love must not die.

So I got a time to think and I decided the Club needed another name, another identity. Then we migrated to ZetaWorlds and the new Club is called Velvet Paradise. And we will open soon. I'm taking care of the last preparations.
