When I log in to check for new messages, I often get asked about my "little bulls." Just click on them! Most contain random things. They're new-stuff boxes, represented by the bull—he's my mascot, lol. Anyway, these are vendors, with items still being added to some of them.

Another new item here in the Holidays & Seasons section of Masala Al Kohav Mall. These charming silver bells that can be used to decorate doorways, fence posts, porch posts, or just about anywhere that suits your fancy because they are full perm and free and they are musical playing that sweet Christmas song, of course, Silver Bells. Blessings and much love, Lavia. PS they are musical and play the Christmas song "Silver Bells".

Okay, let's finally get back to my regular stuffs,we start with a lot new Deco Article.

✨ BK – Mode für den Xara-Body: Drei Looks, ein Statement. ✨ Du willst Stil, der knallt? Dann schnapp dir Xara – sie trägt, was du fühlst: selbstbewusst, edgy und immer einen Schritt voraus.

👠 Look 1: Pure Power in Leder Schwarz. Glänzend. Unverschämt stark. Das trägerlose Top und die High-Waist-Pants aus Leder sind wie gemacht für Nächte, in denen du nicht übersehen wirst. Dazu High Heels – fertig ist dein Fashion-Kampfruf.

🖤 Look 2: Büro trifft Bar Weiße Bluse, schwarzer Mini, Overknees – dieser Look spielt mit Kontrasten und gewinnt. Ob Meeting oder Afterwork, Xara zeigt: Eleganz kann auch rebellisch sein.

🔥 Look 3: Zwei Blusen, zwei Hosen, unendlich Stil Links: Klassisch cool mit schwarzer Bluse und weiter Hose mit Schlitz – ein Look, der bei jedem Schritt wirkt. Rechts: Geknotete Bluse trifft auf figurbetonte Hose – feminin, frech und bereit für alles. Beide Varianten zeigen: Schwarz ist kein Kompromiss, sondern ein Stilversprechen.

💫 BK – Mode für Frauen, die wissen, was sie wollen. Alle Styles sind perfekt auf den Xara-Body abgestimmt – für eine Passform, die sitzt wie dein Selbstvertrauen: makellos.

Leo's Custom Tech N9ne "Ronald" Costume

So, I pretty much rode the "Watch the World Burn" train until i got somewhat burned out on that song. Made the t-shirt. Memorized the lyrics. Ronald has been my new song to digest and unpack...and it sure got me doing a lot of thinking. Song meanings, multiple meanings, etc. Decided to make a "close enough" version of Tech N9ne's costume from the music video. I guess what hits hardest is the senseless violence, shooting sprees, murders, especially in the USA, but all over the world, really. Some of us did not have a perfect childhood. Some are still struggling with issues of anger, depression, poverty, loss of loved ones, and more. I guess I am appalled at how many people are quick to judge each other if opinions vary. Metal music and hip-hop are criticized heavily, especially on Opensim, by older generations that don't understand it. Please understand THIS: I personally find singing or screaming along to songs like this, to be a much healthier outlet than punching holes in the walls of my house, self harm, harming others, and other things. It is one thing to say "this type of music is not my style". It is another thing to say certain music or entire genres are wrong, talentless, etc. To each their own. I am including the lyrics to the song in case anyone wants to think deeper and maybe understand some new things. Be kind to each other, OpenSim.

Once upon a time, everything was alright
I used to feel safe, not a worry in sight
Then I grew up, quickly realized
The world is a fucked up place sometimes
Death is at your door
Reachin' in from the other side
It's time to cut the cord
Hangin' on like a parasite, go (ah)
Hangin' on like a parasite
Hangin' on like a parasite
Don't hesitate, you're hangin' on for your life
Don't hesitate, you're reachin' out from the light
Walkin' on a razor's edge
My blood runs black, I'm not your friend, uh, fuck
Pull from the depths of the 36 Chambers, ah
Ah, pull the trigger, give a bullet to a stranger, nice
Ah, pull from the depths of the 36 Chambers (haha-haha-ha)
Pull the trigger, give a bullet to a stranger
I don't wanna die (die), but I'm not gonna live
In a place so cold, in a world like this (this)
Crucify me (me), it's blasphemy ('my)
Throw me in the fire, let me burn for eternity (go, go, go, go)
Burn for eternity ('y, 'y, 'y), eternity
I'll never be the one that will ever back down
Never turn around and run, never, never, never back down
Deep into the trench of a place unknown
Lies a dead man clutched to the bottom of a throne
At the bottom of a hole that nobody wants to go
It's the devil that you know that's gotta hold up on your wicked soul (damn)
What is up in your mind? Are you thinkin' the devil is makin' the crime?
Or the people are evil and never no demon design? Or the opposite of a divine? No
Yes, the hell is in front of you, side and behind, I can feel every sign of a human decline
I'm believin' the time is upon us when all of our people are blind (yo)
Red rain, saw it fallin' from a tower's dead plane
Head banged Mandalay Bay hotel, lotta lead came
Sex change could get you caught up in death range
He pled sane but really imitatin' Ed Gein
How do we get this way? Negative shit to say when you get dismay
Havin' a fit today so you wanna make a bitch decay
My son's mom went gone, it was really wrong
I thought I was gonna vomit searchin' for my son, but I didn't go John Muhammad
So the devil's right here on this level, wipe tears
That's 'cause when rebels ready to pop the heavy metal, why fear? (Yeah)
Abomination, they been fakin', consecration hatin', western education
Got that killer on a kid, I gotta chase 'em, go
Go
Spiralin' out of control and deeper down the rabbit hole, ay
Never gonna let them get the most of what they'll have to resurrect
You're sick to death, better take me down
I don't give a fuck, this disgrace to God (no), yeah (ah)
Never gonna let them get the most of what they'll have to resurrect
I don't give a fuck, this disgrace to God

Here's a brief update. Free Animals Sim is gone. I have created a Sim called DALLAS 2 that is becoming my Sim of my ANIMALS and much more. New items as well. When you arrive in DALLAS 2, CHECK OUT THE SMALL VENDORS. Many stuff boxes are from my inventory; you never know what's in them, and also boxes I have found around. Also, my daughter is working hard to get the gates open. Watch for the opening coming soon, but Dallas is always open. If you cannot get in, message me, and I will see that you can. Have fun.

Hi again everyone! Just an FYI, I have removed the Wednesday costume from my shop as well as the gown from the Lady Muerto costume. I gather from open sim. I have stated before that I am not the creator. You can examine each and while the box it is in may be mine, the items inside are not. Everyone have fun for Halloween! My shop will remain but as I have also stated in past posts, if you see something that is yours that you don't wish to have shared, let me know! I will remove it :) There is no way for me to know where, over the years, I have picked things up. But really...be nice and don't slam me in public :) I don't do that to people who obviously bring things from SL :) Happy Halloween!!

Zwölf Looks, null Langeweile bei BK-Mode

Athena spielt nicht auf Nummer sicher – sie mixt Silhouetten, Farben und Attitüden wie ein DJ mit Stilbewusstsein. Mal fließend und dramatisch, mal kantig und direkt, mal soft mit Punch. Jeder Look ist ein Statement, aber nie laut um des Lärms willen. Die Outfits sind wie Charaktere: eigenwillig, wandelbar, nie beliebig. Ob Crop-Top oder High-Slit-Gown – hier wird nicht zwischen Casual und Couture getrennt, sondern alles in Bewegung gebracht.

Was sie verbindet? Kein Dresscode, sondern ein Drive. Jeder Look ist wie ein Remix aus Haltung, Spieltrieb und Stilinstinkt. Kein Outfit duckt sich weg, keins schreit um Aufmerksamkeit – sie wirken, weil sie wollen. Athena zeigt: Mode ist kein Kompromiss, sondern ein Spielfeld für Selbstbewusstsein mit Stil.
