Heavy metal star Ozzy Osbourne has died, just weeks after reuniting with his Black Sabbath bandmates and performing a huge farewell concert for fans.

In a statement, his family said: "It is with more sadness than mere words can convey that we have to report that our beloved Ozzy Osbourne has passed away this morning. He was with his family and surrounded by love."

The Prince of Darkness has gone home R.I.P Ozzy

Thank you for bringing to my attention CyberGlo on many of my items in the store was set to original, so when the person did purchase them, they became their item. I have been working hard to get DALLAS put together, and in doing this, I was not aware items were set to original, and I am very sorry, and most of all, I owe these people an apology.

Since I released the Cinema Complex last year, I've had a few of you ask if you could get just the ballroom section I created for it. That new ballroom is now nearly complete with brand new pbr textures (as shown), as well as older fallback textures so that everyone will see something. I'll post in a couple of days when it's complete.

Holi est un lieu où l'on trouve une harmonie entre méditation, relaxation et sensualité, dans un cadre serein et respectueux. L'atmosphère est apaisante, avec des couleurs douces, des éléments naturels et une lumière tamisée. C'est un espace où l'on peut se reconnecter à soi-même, explorer sa sensualité dans un environnement intime, tout en étant respectueux de ses propres limites et de celles des autres. Un endroit pour éveiller les sens, se détendre et expérimenter un plaisir doux et bienveillant.
Holi is a place where meditation, relaxation, and sensuality come together in a serene and respectful environment. The atmosphere is calming, with soft colors, natural elements, and dim lighting. It’s a space where one can reconnect with themselves, explore their sensuality in an intimate setting, all while being mindful of their own boundaries and those of others. A place to awaken the senses, relax, and experience gentle and compassionate pleasure.

**A Tribute to Verna Avril: DJ, Creator, and Friend**
Today, we pause to honor and celebrate the extraordinary Verna Avril, a beloved DJ at Event Plaza, an accomplished builder, and a cherished friend to so many. Verna has recently been diagnosed with late-stage cancer, and while the news has left us heartbroken, her unwavering spirit continues to shine brightly in the time she has left.

For those who have had the privilege of knowing Verna, you know her as a force of nature. Her music has been the heartbeat of Event Plaza, where she transforms gatherings into magical experiences, spinning tracks that bring people together and create memories that last a lifetime. As a DJ, Verna doesn’t just play music—she shares her soul through every beat and rhythm.

Beyond her music, Verna is a visionary builder and creator. She owns and curates numerous regions, each a testament to her incredible talent and love for creating beautiful spaces. Her worlds are filled with life, imagination, and wonder—a reflection of her boundless creativity and dedication.

Verna’s style and charisma are as unforgettable as her music. Always impeccably dressed in her signature short black dresses, she carries herself with grace and confidence that inspire those around her. But it’s her warmth, kindness, and generosity that truly make her unforgettable.

In this challenging time, Verna has shown us the depth of her strength. Even as she faces this diagnosis, she continues to remind us of the importance of living fully, loving deeply, and creating beauty wherever we can.

As her community, let us rally around her with our love and support. Share your stories, your memories, and your gratitude for the joy she’s brought into your life. Let’s celebrate Verna Avril—not just for what she’s accomplished, but for who she is: a beacon of light, creativity, and love.

We don’t know how much time we have left with her, but we do know this—every moment with Verna is a gift. Let’s cherish these moments together and honor her legacy, now and always.

Stay strong, Verna. You are loved more than words can express. 💖

Aussie and I will be hosting an event to celebrate our friend Verna Avril. In the meantime, please post messages for her here as she cannot be in Opensim but can read this website. Thank you in advance for posting for her! I will make all the messages and stories into an online book for Verna.

'...And ye shall be free from slavery. And as a sign that ye be really free, ye shall be naked in your rites. And ye shall dance, sing, feast, make music and love all in my praise.
For mine is the ecstasy of the spirit, and mine also is joy upon Earth, for my law is love unto all beings...'

Today is the day!!! I am so excited to finally open the gallery for all to enjoy! Thank you to everyone who has supported and encouraged me over this long journey to get here. I can't wait to see you all! Noon grid time. Formal because we like to dress up!

Die Botschaft von Weihnachten:
Es gibt keine größere Kraft als die Liebe.
Sie überwindet den Hass
wie das Licht die Finsternis.
*******************
The message of Christmas:
There is no greater power than love,
she overcomes hatred,
like light the darkness.

Opensimworld.com is a great way to promote all the wonderful creations we can find in different grids and I think this is the purpose of this website. Promoting creativity, giving people the ability to explore and see what others create. This is why Im sponsoring this website with advertisements and announcements. Lately I observe this place is filled with comments of personal kind , ( some would call it drama ). I am sure the majority here visiting this website for the same reason as I do are not happy with the continuously posted remarks of personal kind ( and disrespectful) . I wish to ask all who use this wonderful website to consider , where it was built for. If this website will become a gathering place for people who wish to display their frustrations, it will chase away others who are willing to invest in this medium. Please take this in consideration before you post ( and please use English if you can, this is an international community)

Bald ist es soweit - noch einmal schlafen, dann startet - wie jedes Jahr - der Adventskalender auf Eternal Ice.
Alle Geschenke sind von ihrem jeweiligen Tag bis zur Entfernung des Adventskalenders erhältlich- es gibt also keinen Zeitdruck, jeden Tag nach dem Kalender sehen zu "müssen", um kein Geschenk zu verpassen ...
* * *
Soon it will be time - sleep once more, then - like every year - the advent calendar on Eternal Ice will start.
All gifts are available from their respective day until the Advent calendar is removed- so there is no need to check the calendar every day to not miss a gift....

Winter is here, Yay! Well, yay for some :).
I have a new release today, fairly whimsical; Polar Bear Ceiling Lights. They were made as ceiling lights and they are resizable. I did a large version separately as the automatic light script had to be adjusted for the life size bears.
There are automatic and manual light scripts in the regular size lights, you can delete the auto script in the large ones and put in the manual if you like.
I have a couple of more ideas for the bears that will be out soon.
Have a beary nice day!

Our dear Luna Lunaria has passed. Rather than only mourn her, which we all do in our own ways, let us band together and show Luna's real life family...just how much she meant to us.

To some, perhaps Luna was a character from one of her rl human creator's stories. To most of us, she was much, much more. It is with a heavy heart that I have shouldered the responsibility as one of her many friends, to setup a GoFundMe for an idea i had: to name an actual star (or multiple stars different names from her stories or rl family), depending on how well this goes. If you like this idea, please find it in your heart to contribute to a worthy cause! https://gofund.me/60f7d925d

Not one thin penny will go to anything not Luna related, with the main goal being at least an "ultimate" star package from the international star registry. All pertinent information is listed in the interest of transparency. If we exceed the $200 goal, additional items or a bigger package may be purchased. I will be working with Lone Wolf on this, and any real life items to be mailed, will be sent discreetly and privately to Luna's real life family, pending their approval. For now, let's just get this ball rolling and see how much this OpenSim community loves and embraces her. She inspired us and gave us so much. Let us give back. Seriously, if you can spare only a buck, 1 dollar of your native currency, 25 cents, whatever it may be, it all comes from the heart. You are not required for your real name or any info to be publicly disclosed if you donate, so keep that in mind, friends. Any questions please contact Leonitas Lionheart or Remmy Ravenhurst of Homelandz Grid, Star Ravenhurst of Tenth Dimension Grid, or Lone Wolf of Wolf Territories grid.

@Dark_Zeus You are truly unbelievable in your audacity!! Just a few days ago you were asked to remove someone's unauthorized items!!! Now I've been informed that you also have my items in your store, and again WITHOUT MY consent!! The icing on the cake is your sign on your welcome page...DON'T STEAL ASK KINDLY LOL, but what do YOU ​​do??? My items are one thing, but stealing my pictures is another. That makes me really weird, and therefore I politely request that you remove my items from your store!! THANK YOU

All Holiday trees and decorations at Lunaria Emporium are now free and full perm for the season. All have been reworked and many have PBR textures added. I have trees, tree skirts, topiaries, wreaths, garlands, a snow couple, poinsettias, etc; some are prim and some are mesh. These are unique items available nowhere else in Opensim.

To find them, click the Holidays sign on the right as you enter the lobby.
