SkyRealm embraces Spacetime. A complex and fascinating subject, and it continues to be an area of active research. The insights that have been gained from relativity have revolutionized our understanding of the universe, and they continue to challenge our intuition.

Fred Beckhusen-Ferd Frederix Thank you, for lending a hand in this project. Fred took a model with over 800 parts then used Blender modifiers to clean edges, and a script that helped to reduce the level of detail. He made it six layers of over a hundred parts each then stacked it on top of the mountain. Without Fred's help and guidance, this would not have been possible. Sincerely thank you, Fred.

The Island of the Moon has changed its look, but it has never changed its soul.
You will find the same warm hospitality, the same desire to celebrate, to meet, and to dream together… now wrapped in a brand-new atmosphere waiting to be discovered.
On the island you will be welcomed by the grand concert piano, which is not just a symbol, but an elegant and refined ballroom, where timeless style and music invite you to dance and let yourself be carried away.
You will also discover a large shopping area, designed for both men and women, featuring Legacy, Reborn, Lara X, Athena, Gianni, Body outfits and much more, allowing you to fully express your style.
For those who love to be surprised, a unique disco set inside a classical guitar awaits you, complete with an ice-skating rink.
Have you ever skated inside a guitar?
There’s always a first time for everything! ^_^
You will then find a palace inspired by the colors of Jazz and Blues, dedicated to our live music nights, ready to host great singers and anyone who wishes to perform and share their music.
Finally, a special area devoted to the magic of Christmas, featuring an enchanted carousel that will make you feel like a child again, surrounded by moons, stars, glitter, and endless imagination.

**Tonight, don’t miss an unmissable live event!**
The evening will open with **DJ Luna**, followed by **DJ Tombeur**, ready to make you dance and celebrate together.
Thank you to everyone who chooses to visit the Island of the Moon,
and heartfelt thanks to all who decide to leave a special appreciation on the Island of the Moon’s page.

Happy Weekend for all

here is a Cute little Dancing Santa`s Helper for you ♥
This little quirky thing will dance on your head.

It has two dance animations and two face changes.

Just come to our Animesh section and get this little quirky thing.

We also have some other Christmas decorations available.

(reposting this for as long as necessary until goal is achieved. hoping to announce success asap so that we can have it concluded and move on to a happy and festive christmas/holiday for all) :)

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.

Today, as I entered my OutOfThisWorld grid, I lifted my gaze to the firmament
and saw a new star shining with the brilliance of a radiant beacon.

In that moment, I understood
that a dear friend had departed to the realm of the immortals.

Luna Lunaria, my friend… you will be deeply missed.

Each time I behold your creations,
so exceptional and beautiful,
you will live on in memory.

May the Creator grant you eternal peace and love.

Thank you, dear Lunita, for accepting me as your friend.
I will always carry you in my heart and mind.

Ab sofort ist der traditionelle Weihnachtsmarkt in Dorenas World wieder für alle geöffnet. Er existiert in der Form, bereits seit 2015 und gehört damit so den ältesten im OpenSim.

The traditional Christmas market in Dorena's World is now open to everyone again. It has existed in this form since 2015, making it one of the oldest in OpenSim.

Time to feature Winter Wonderland in Eden, so I temporarily changed the landing point for you to enjoy it!
snowballs fight, ice skating, snow bikes riding....
Have a ride on the old carousel, listen to the singing dinkies band,
play greedy or whack a game Christmas, explore around for more
and don't forget to grab some of the gifts boxes!
let's feel the magic of Christmas while having fun! :) Pangea-Grid

They are both in the Fantasy area of the mall - stop by and check them out, they can add a spookiness to your halloween decor. Blessings and much love, Lavia

✨ 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.
