De La Soul: Die Pioniere des alternativen Hip-Hop

In den späten achtziger Jahren, als der Hip-Hop sich noch zwischen der harten Realität der Straße
und den bunten Fantasiewelten der Funk-Vergangenheit entscheiden musste,
betraten drei junge Männer aus Long Island die Bühne, die alles verändern sollten.
Kelvin Mercer, David Jolicoeur und Vincent Mason – besser bekannt als Posdnuos, Trugoy the Dove und Maseo
– nannten sich De La Soul und brachten mit ihrem Debütalbum 3 Feet High and Rising eine neue Sprache in die Musik ...

🌸 Athena Petite – klein, frech, groß im Stil! 🌸 Wer sagt, dass nur große Avatare den Catwalk beherrschen? Unsere neuen Outfits für Athena Petite beweisen das Gegenteil – mit Strandmode, die nach Sonne schreit, und Kleidern, die so verspielt sind, dass selbst dein Inventar kichert.

🏖️ Am Strand glänzt du mit Looks, die mehr „Wow“ als Sonnenuntergang liefern – leicht, luftig und absolut pixelperfekt. 👗 Und wenn’s verspielt sein darf: Kleider, die tanzen, bevor du überhaupt den ersten Schritt machst. Farben, Schnitte, Details – alles ein bisschen frech, alles ein bisschen „Ich bin hier, um Spaß zu haben“.

Kurz gesagt: Athena Petite trägt keine Outfits. Sie trägt Laune. Und die ist so ansteckend, dass selbst dein Avatar-Umfeld plötzlich besser gelaunt wirkt.

This is the empty spot I was saving for the new Japanese house and Japanese castle you were going to make. I was saving all my gloebit just for you. Rip luna you will be missed.

To both Colonial Navy and the Pirates that ravage Utopia seas.

Utopia Sky Grid is changing; the management that controls our grid have determined that effective January 1, 2026 they will block Hypergrid travels. This will affect both inbound and outbound travelers.So if you have a region in Utopia Sky Grid, best ask for an OAR before January 2026.

What will that do to our sea battle? Are you by chance considering joining the sea battles? We will be continuing our battles while evaluating how this change effects our battles before deciding if we must change grids since that takes a lot of work after the move before we can start up battles again.

In the interim, if you are a Hypergrid traveler then it will be necessary for you to create an avatar on Utopia Skye grid to be able to join the battles we have.

Clothing, ships and lessons will be available for regular players in Utopia Battle Group for free.

Ready for a little jaw-dropping wizardry?
Fred has outdone himself once again — the Great Oz has officially risen inside our Emerald City region, and let me tell you… this isn’t just a static mesh. This is a full, animated, larger-than-life Oz head that watches, moves, and commands the room exactly the way the Wizard should.

Perched above his ornate throne and framed in glowing lights, this spectacular creation brings the magic of Oz to life in a way you truly have to see to believe. Whether you’re exploring for fun, taking photos, or just want that nostalgic, spine-tingling “we’re not in Kansas anymore” feeling — this is the spot.

Come walk the green glow of the Emerald City, hear the hum of the wizard’s chamber, and stand before Oz himself.
Just… don’t forget to bring your courage, heart, and brains. He notices everything.

Visit, explore, snap pictures, and enjoy the magic.
The Great Oz is waiting. thank you @FerdFrederix !

Some regions are built from mesh and textures.
This one began as a dream.

I once dreamed of Japan — cliffs draped in cherry blossoms, walkways glowing under twilight, and water that shimmered like painted silk. When I told Fred about it, he didn’t laugh or brush it off. He simply said, “Let’s build it.”

And so we did.

But there’s one moment that sealed Zensational's Sakuragawa into my heart forever.
Two years ago, on Easter morning, I logged in to find the most beautiful gift waiting for me: the glowing blue bell flowers you’ll see along the river, created by Fred and quietly placed into the land like a blessing. No announcement, no fanfare — just a pure act of creativity and kindness.

That morning, the whole region felt touched by magic.

On this day of giving thanks, I want to honor that spirit — Fred’s imagination, his generosity, and the way he brings life to every idea I hand him. Zensational's Sakuragawa exists because he believed in a dream I tried to describe half-awake.

Now I’m inviting the OpenSim community to come walk inside that dream.

Explore the bridges and lantern paths.
Rest beneath the cherry trees.
Follow the glowing flowers gifted on Easter morning.
Let this region remind you how beautiful a shared vision can become.

Visitors, photographers, wanderers — you’re welcome here.

Come see what happens when a dream is met with friendship, creativity, and the simple magic of someone saying, “Let’s make it real.”

I am thankful for you @FerdFrederix 😘 three.hills.grid.outworldz.net:8002:Zensational

Athena – dreimal Stil, dreimal Magie.

Mal wild wie ein nächtlicher Tanz auf glühendem Asphalt, mal ein Feuerwerk aus Farben, das den Sommer küsst, mal die stille Eleganz einer Frau, die weiß, was sie will.

Jede Silhouette erzählt von Mut zur Mode, von Lust am Spiel, von einem Blick, der sagt: Ich bin da – und ich bleibe. Athena ist kein Outfit. Athena ist ein Gefühl.

Mercado Navideño, en nuesto sim el Sueño de Jhon, vestuarios, regalos, decoración, y una gran pista de patinaje sobre hielo, donde pasareis momentos navideños super agradables , encontrareis a nuestro Papa Noel donde haceros la foto de recuerdo de esta Navidad 2025, os esperamos

It's Thanksgiving Eve in the USA and after today's news about the passing of our dear friend Luna Lunaria, I got to thinking how blessed I am for having known her, and then I looked at my friends lists and thought, how blessed I am for all of my friends! Then I looked at all the comments and posts in Discord and here in OSW and except for a few really mean ones.... belittling others...complaining about this and that, everyone in Open Sim is so kind, such great creators, performers.... and I thought.... why isn't everyday Thanksgiving?
So, I would like to ask that tomorrow, everyone, no matter what you celebrate, how you believe or where you live.... take a minute to thank someone for being in your life! Take a minute to send that apology.... make that sweet compliment...say I AM THANKFUL FOR YOU!! Why on Earth should we wait for a special holiday or event to do that? We should be grateful every single day for this life we have been given!!
And... I am :)
I AM THANKFUL FOR ALL OF YOU!
Hugggs and love,
Harmony Jo!

There are actually users who create anonymous OSW accounts to claim that they use fake avatars at their parties, which is simply not true. Such people don't have the courage to express themselves with their real accounts—how pathetic.

Dear enemies, haters, liars, and false friends, we still have so much for you to gossip about!

Patience, Patience...........

Ci sono effettivamente utenti che creano account OSW anonimi per affermare che utilizzano avatar falsi alle loro feste, il che semplicemente non è vero. Queste persone non hanno il coraggio di esprimersi con i loro account reali: che cosa patetica.

Cari nemici, haters, bugiardi e falsi amici, abbiamo ancora molto su cui spettegolare!

Pazienza, pazienza...

Step into Mashup — where scale doesn’t matter and imagination runs the show.

Looking for a place to take photos that aren’t the same old stand-and-pose?
Mashup is my creative photo studio full of props just like this — surreal, whimsical, giant-sized, tiny-sized, and everything in between.

Come play, experiment, bring friends, and snap something no one else has.


Mashup is open.
Come create something unexpected.

I too join in the condolences for Luna. I was completely shocked when I read this. She was a good friend and always gave me tips on how I could improve or could do it better. We had many intense conversations. I will miss her. Rest in peace!
