For some, it seems to be sometime tougher to be kind behind pixels. Our values and standards should not change, just because there isn't an immediate and apparent accountability to what we do or say. Be kind.

I just caught up with the craziness about Lone stealing a floor from Marianna. Looks like she saw my post yesterday about our first monthly social with a picture of my Lotus Club on Luxor. it has a big circular dance floor with a blue arcane texture. I guess she assumed Lone stole that idea the day before yesterday's event and added to his Social region (which doesn't exist). That picture was from my Gala 6 months ago at the Lotus Club and which I built on Luxor a year ago. I have that same exact texture on one of my hypergates at Luxor. I have used that texture for years. I love arcane textures, especially on floors and ceilings - I have them on a floor in Castle Ceridwen and in my main store in the Magic and Mysteries room.

I'm banned but you're not!

If you don't ever see me in your favourite opensim grid, most likely it’s because I'm banned.

My grid has no such bans though, so do feel free to visit anytime and help yourself to my free, unique and original creations, if you want!

Hallo ihr Lieben,
das Jahr ist fast zu Ende. Und wieder haben wir die Hälfte aller Vorsätze vom letzten Silvester nicht eingehalten. Ein guter Vorsatz wäre, dass wird das Ende des Jahres ordentlich feiern. Daher steigt im Soul-Grid eine Silvesterparty. Um 20 Uhr geht es los .
Wir freuen uns auf euch

A 100% legal, non copybotted , creator made mesh head. Boxed as an avatar base...shape, skin, eyes, head, courtesy Ruth RC3 made BOM. The skins I used a template for in part, according to the creator's license it cannot be transfer-sorry about that. You can of course use any skin or shape you want. Responds to bento animations such as smiling and blinking. No mesh eyes or AO included.

These heads I made from 2019 to 2021- I put a couple up an SL. They were intended as a low ARC, "Wear and go" solution without huds and scripts. I made them first for my partner who just HATES most huds. I sold them for about 400L each. People liked them but I got a lot of bizarre comments like "yeah it's really beautiful and good but I have to stay loyal to Catwa even though I like them a lot"... since opensim people seem more capable of not letting brand loyalty totally dictate their interests, they are better fitted here.

Don't sell, don't tell people you made the mesh, don't put it on SL . Please don't god mod the skin, I legitimately cannot give it transfer, if you need it for your alts bring them all in or message me and I'll just give it to you.

Well, since I made the "Enchanted" section at the shop, I feel like I need to put new things in it. This always happens, I end up on a theme for a while (cough, cough polar bears).

So, I give you Magical Mushrooms (no, not those kind of mushrooms, that's another theme).

These Fungi have the power to be tree size and come in several variations including versions with 2 spore color choices.
All the textures are in the box for those who like to customize :).

Have a magical day!

Was wir euch fürs neue Jahr wünschen:

Nehmt euch Zeit zum Lachen,
das ist die Musik der Seele.

Nehmt euch Zeit zum Leben,
das ist der Reichtum des Lebens.

Nehmt euch Zeit zum freundlich sein,
das ist das Tor zum Glück.

There is an outlying population in Syria, Lebanon, southern Turkey, Palestine, Jordan, and Israel."

The first time ever in open sim, a magazine dedicated to Hentai in all its glory. This magazine will have you all racing to the store to get many copies. Hehehehehehehe!
It is rude and it is fun so please dont take offence. It is A rated but not malicious or ill meaning.

Enjoy!!!!!!!!!!

After hearing of the sad news that Gertie Bumbtious left us on June 5th, we, Niki Stark (ex-wife of Gertie) and I decided to make a tribute edition of Stark! with some nice photos of Gertie. We will miss Gertie very much with her happy, positive manner and her legendary music sets!

You can get copies of the magazine and the vendors at the Stark landing point as always.

Rest in peace, Gertie!

@FerdFrederix gave me a personal tour of Cinderella's Anniversary Castle, a beautiful creation he built together with Debbie Edwards. As we walked through the castle, Ferd shared the story behind its design, pointing out the incredible details and the many treasures Debbie discovered and contributed along the way. You could hear the pride, joy, and love they both poured into this project.

Then came the surprise.

Ferd placed the entire castle on my grid and told me to enjoy it as much as they do. I was completely overwhelmed by such a generous gift. Over the years, I've often thought of Ferd as a father figure, and receiving this on Father's Day made the occasion especially meaningful. Of course, true to Ferd's nature, he was the one giving the gift.

The castle is now open for everyone to visit and enjoy.

If you've ever wondered what makes Debbie Edwards and Ferd Frederix so special within our community, look no further than this castle. Their creativity, generosity, kindness, and willingness to share what they build with others continue to enrich countless virtual worlds and the people who inhabit them.

Thank you, Ferd. Thank you, Debbie. Your gift will be treasured, and I am honored to share it with the public so others can experience the magic you created.

The Journey Collection
For many of us, our avatars have walked beside us for years.
They have shared our adventures, our friendships, our celebrations, and countless memories across virtual worlds.
Yet while we changed, learned, laughed, cried, and grew older, our avatars often remained frozen in time.

The Journey Collection was born from a simple question:

---- What if ... our avatars could tell their stories too? ----

Today we are introducing the first members of this collection:
Elsa and Matt.
Each avatar includes multiple carefully crafted life stages that allow the same character to evolve through time.
These are not different skins.
They are not aging add-ons.
They are not separate characters.
Each stage is part of the same skin, carefully designed to preserve the avatar's identity while reflecting different moments in their journey.
You can choose the stage that feels right for you.
You can remain there forever.
Or you can let your avatar grow alongside you over the years.
There are no rules.
There is no "correct" age.
The choice is entirely yours.
Because The Journey Collection is not about getting older.
It is about allowing our avatars to carry a little of the story we have lived together.

I have done as much as I can do with the shop until I can get a new computer. This shop has themed sections in a maze I created with an old farm house built by Jamie Wright. It lines up perfectly in multiples and there are many rooms to find treasures. Many are still empty and if anyone would like to have some space for their original content, message me here and we can make it happen.
You will find themes of Ravens, Dragons, Egyptian, Bohemian, Gothic, etc. This is all made mostly with Meshy, of various quality. I also used a couple of other AI mesh platforms. A lot of the furniture has a sit box in them, but with my old lap top I have to use atm. I cant keep adding the animations and some things, like beds, I have to animate from scratch, and can't do it until I have a better rig, but it is all full perm, so if it has no animations, feel free to do it yourself. Have fun shopping! If you like my content, please consider leaving a review here. The shop is above Star Ravenhurst Designs, so it is all under the same umbrella. Thanks for having a look!

It is also on the teleporter at the landing across the grid if you get lost.

2026: Learn to Create—Because Ideas Deserve to Exist

This piece began as a drawing. Lines on a screen. Nothing fancy—until those lines were extruded, shaped, and turned into something real. That moment never gets old.

I create jewelry by turning drawings into dimensional forms, and I share the how through tutorials because creation shouldn’t be a mystery reserved for a few. If you can imagine it, you can learn to build it.

My journey started in OpenSim, creating virtual jewelry people could wear in-world before ever buying it in real life. That experiment turned into something bigger: a virtual jewelry store that’s open 24/7, showcasing years of designs, iterations, failures, breakthroughs, and finished pieces. It’s a living archive of creative growth.

Here’s the truth:
There is nothing quite like seeing an idea move from your mind, to a sketch, to a finished object you can hold—or wear. That spark when it finally clicks? That’s the reward.

So for 2026, my message to the community is simple:

Learn something new

Make something with your hands (digital or physical—both count)

Share what you learn

Inspire the next creator behind you

You don’t need permission to create. You just need curiosity and the willingness to try.

If you’ve ever thought, “I wish I could make that,”—this is your year. Start drawing. Start modeling. Start learning.

Ideas are patient. They’ll wait.
But the joy comes when you finally bring them to life. 🌹

*Rolf Skin Fatpack OUT NOW!*
Another skin fatpack for CAMDEN EvoX head:
- Comes in 11 different tones matching the Jupiter Body skin
- Brow and browless options for each tone
- Comes with head and brow shapes
- Ears, and couple of shadow add-ons included!
