Fresh New Hits! Ever feel like your own worst enemy? Check out "Gravedigger" by Livingston!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dH-x6SbR7oU

[Verse 1]
Enemies right left side of me
In my dreams
Wake me up dreams, wake me up
Try to breathe six feet underneath
You can't see what I've become
See what I've become

[Pre-Chorus]
More than just a boy
Trying to stay alive
Reaching for the sky
When they ask about the story about my life
Tell 'em
"Go figure, go figure"

[Chorus]
I grew up to be the gravedigger
My own gravedigger
Go figure, go figure
I turnеd out to be the gravediggеr
My own gravedigger
When you call my name
Don't you know I'm not the same
Go figure, go figure
I grew up to be the gravedigger
My own gravedigger

[Verse 2]
Put me down
Gave me the runaround
Now just look at what you've done
Look at what you've done
I am found
Born from the dust and the underground
Bringing me back to life from the curses that you handed out

[Pre-Chorus]
More than just a boy
Trying to stay alive
Reaching for the sky
When they ask about the story about my life
Tell 'em
"Go figure, go figure"

[Chorus]
I grew up to be the gravedigger
My own gravedigger
Go figure, go figure
I turned out to be the gravedigger
My own gravedigger
When you call my name
Don't you know I'm not the same
Go figure, go figure
I grew up to be the gravedigger
My own gravedigger

[Verse 3]
Cold blooded youngin
He was born from death
Could've touched the sky
But he was stuck in his head
What a shame, what a shame
Guess we'll wait for the next
Till I rise from the ashes
What you think I said?
Cold blooded young
He was born from death
Could've touched the sky
But he was stuck in his head
What a shame, what a shame
Guess we'll wait for the next
Till I rise from the ashes
What you think I said?

[Chorus]
"Go figure, go figure"
I grew up to be the gravedigger
My own gravedigger
Go figure, go figure
I turned out to be the gravedigger
My own gravedigger

I like seeing the newest posts first and I'm lazy about it. If you're wanting to see the newest first without using the dropdown, here's a UserScript you can add to redirect you automatically.

There's also another one available for those who are familiar with my OSW-only gift area. 😉

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...

Barber Shop
The only scripted items are the barber pole, the waiting bench, the curtain, and the door. The barber chair is a BYOA (Bring Your Own Animations) item, but hopefully someone will find this of use.

Pickup is at the OSW Exclusive gift area, located below. If you have issues arriving there directly, you can use the OSW door to your left once arriving in the subway to access the exclusive area.

Diversity is a given, inclusion is a choice, equity is a goal. Belonging is our ultimate endpoint. When you recognize those three things, you create a culture that is on fire

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man

Express yourself!

I leave no trace of wings in the air, but I am glad I have had my flight.

Something wonderful is coming.

I got so excited about the solid color spider mums that I couldn't resist and created tipped spider mums and they turned out quite nice I think. There are 4 different colors, red, lilac, pink and gold and they are full perm and free at the Create a Scene Garden Center here at the mall. They're right in front of the greenhouse. Stop in and get yours because they will beautify any landscape and grab a box of gladiolus while you're there then shop around but bring a really big shopping bag! Blessings and much love, Lavia

I am pleased to announce the opening of the Selea Core Store, located in the southeast corner of the Star Ravenhurst Designs region. This project, which I dedicated over two weeks to last November, aims to preserve the body of work created by Selea Core, who left Open Sim unexpectedly around 2016-17.

At that time, Victor DeAngelo, Ms. Kal, and I gathered all the available Selea Core products. Victor also sourced additional items, re-boxing and labeling them since many were originally stored in folders rather than their original packaging. These items were subsequently offered at his shop.

Years later, I observed that many of these boxes had migrated to different locations, and several had become corrupted, containing duplicates or broken items. Consequently, I undertook the task of meticulously cleaning, repairing, and reboxing them with new labels to distinguish my collection from others. Additionally, I included rare Elven items from my collection that are not widely distributed elsewhere.

While I strive for perfection, I acknowledge that some boxes may not be flawless. However, I assure you that the Selea Core boxes available at this shop are clean, up-to-date, and ready for you to take home.

Please note that Selea Core often used Rezzers for her houses and many of her scenes, typically designed for a single 1x1 SIM. You will need to adjust the script to match the size of your region for the rez box to function correctly. If you require assistance, please feel free to reach out.
Special thanks to Victor DeAngelo for helping to preserve the work, Jupiter Rowland for sharing his SC collection with me, and Ms. Kal for leaving my boxes in her sandbox all this time so I didn't lose the collection.

I don't make plants very often because, frankly, I'm not very good at it. However, I adore certain plants and so that becomes a driving force for me to create it in world. Well besides Gladiolus, Spider Mums are one of my favorite flowers, I find them stunningly beautiful. So, I decided to try my hand at making them as I've not seen them in Open Sim anywhere. In this picture you can see them all nice and planted and next to them is the box that has all 9 colors. They're waiting for you at the Create A Scene Garden Center's greenhouse entrance and they are full perm and free and I hope you will like them. Blessings and much love, Lavia

I’ll be posting about films/documentaries found on the free streaming service Kanopy that may be of interest to members of this group. For our entertainment, education, enrichment, and/or inspiration for OS events? In-world watch parties perhaps? Who knows? Let’s see.

About Kanopy: “We stream thoughtful entertainment to your preferred device with no fees and no commercials by partnering with public libraries and universities. Everyone from film scholars to casual viewers will discover remarkable and enriching films on Kanopy. Log in with your library membership and enjoy our diverse catalog with new titles added every month. At Kanopy we believe in the power of film to bridge cultural boundaries and bring people together”.
https://www.kanopy.com/en

Today, I’ll focus on some classic films.

La Cage aux Folles. This 1978 film “inspired a major Broadway musical and the blockbuster remake The Birdcage. But with its hilarious performances and ahead-of-its-time social message, there’s nothing like the audacious, dazzling original movie.”
The film is part of the Criterion Collection, a continuing series of important classic and contemporary films. To see the films in the collection, you can stream it on Criterion Channel with a paid subscription, or see them free on Kanopy.

The Boys in the Band is a 1970’s drama that is among the early major American motion pictures to revolve around gay characters, often cited as a milestone in the history of gay cinema, and thought to be the first mainstream American film to use the swear word "cunt". (Netflix did a new adaption in 2020).

Rent. The 2005 movie adaptation of the critically acclaimed drama/musical that was one the longest-running shows on Broadway.

The picture for this post is a teaser for the next , which will focus on films like “No Secret Anymore,” a documentary about the two women who launched the first public organization for lesbians in America, the Daughters of Bilitis, in 1955.

It maybe wishful thinking, but has anyone seen a race track lap timer and leader board on their travels?

I have a cool one in SL that had a start/finish line and checkpoints to place in key locations around the track to stop short cuts. It would display the top ten lap times/names on the leader board.

I have been to a few race tracks in open sim and have never been able to get hold of one. I have never seen one in any malls/freebie places either.

Welcome back my friends to the show that never ends
We're so glad you could attend,
come inside, come inside
There behind a glass stands a real blade of grass
Be careful as you pass, move along, move along

Come inside, the shows about to start
Guaranteed to blow your head apart
Rest assured you'll get your money's worth
The greatest show in Heaven, Hell or Earth

You've got to see the show, it's a dynamo
You've got to see the show, its rock and roll, oh
-- Greg Lake, Peter Sinfield
