🎉 Neues Jahr, neue Looks – Athena startet 2026 mit mehr Stil als ein Feuerwerk über dem Plattensee! Zwischen Glitzer, Glam und gemütlichem Hoodie zeigt sie, dass Mode kein Vorsatz, sondern ein Lebensgefühl ist. Ob Diva oder Dandy, Street oder Chic – Athena tanzt durch die Stile wie andere durch die Silvesternacht. Und das Beste? Sie bleibt dabei ganz sie selbst: frech, festlich und fabelhaft.

✨ Willkommen im Jahr der modischen Überraschungen – Athena hat den ersten Schritt schon gemacht. Bereit für den zweiten?

Black White Castle wird schon fast 2 Jahre alt - Zeit, die Region endlich mit einer Party einzuweihen!
Leider musste die Party im Januar kurzfristig abgesagt werden, aber jetzt endlich holen wir sie nach!
Wie der Name schon sagt, ist Black White Castle komplett in schwarz-weiß Tönen gehalten, daher sind möglichst monochrome Outfits, vielleicht sogar im Vintage-Stil sehr wünschenswert!!! Schließlich soll sich jeder Partygast wie auf einer Zeitreise zurück in die Schwarzweiß-Film-Ära fühlen.

* * * * *

Black White Castle is almost two years old- time to finally inaugurate the region with a party!
Unfortunately, the party had to be canceled at short notice in January, but now we're finally making up for it!
As the name suggests, Black White Castle is decorated entirely in black and white tones, so monochrome outfits, perhaps even in vintage style, are highly desirable!!! After all, every party guest should feel like they've traveled back in time to the era of black and white films.

Merci beaucoup aux 4 personnes qui se sont déplacées pour voir mon installation de Noël à la galerie ! Thank you so much to the 4 people who came to see my Christmas installation at the gallery!

Joe Bonamassa – Der Erbe des Blues-Rock aus dem Norden

In den verschneiten Wintern von New Hartford, New York, wo der Hudson River sich durch eisige Landschaften windet,
begann eine Reise, die den Blues-Rock neu beleben sollte.
Joe Bonamassa, geboren als Joseph Leonard Bonamassa am 8. Mai 1977 in Utica, wuchs in einer Familie auf,
in der Musik nicht nur gespielt, sondern gelebt wurde...

Happy 2nd Advent!

We've opened our Christmas decoration market!

Classic Christmas decorations are so yesterday!

We offer modern and rustic decorations.

You'll find the teleport to the market outside the landing office.

AMV’s 6th Birthday celebration winds down after a full day of incredible entertainment. Clifford Hanger, Ted Junior, Clan Escotia and the Clan Band lit up the morning and afternoon, and Icky Thump brought the perfect blues-filled finale at the AMV Birthday region.

At Desolate Expanse, we proudly showcase our signature attractions: a bathtub scene that looks like the aftermath of a very ambitious but poorly planned experiment, and a skeleton enjoying the outdoors with a level of calm that suggests he gave up on life’s problems long before you arrived. It’s the ideal destination for anyone who likes their tourism slightly unsettling and their questions completely unanswered.

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!

After the huge success of our 2024 Winter Fair, we simply had to bring it back for another sparkling edition! ❄️✨
And this year… we want YOU to be part of the enchantment. it will be in the Kitely world Catronian Archipelago.
We warmly invite all merchants to reserve their spot at our charming winter market. Each participant can claim two stalls to showcase their creations — and yes, we love freebies… we really do! 😉

Imagine your stall set in a picturesque, old-European village square (think Dutch–German vibes), gently dusted with snow. Around you: twinkling Christmas lights, cosy market huts, waffles and warm drinks, music in the air, excited visitors hunting for decorations… and of course, talented artists turning the little houses into a magical gallery trail.

Our market is nestled in the heart of a 12-sim-wide Winter Wonderland, home of the legendary 11 Cities Skating Tour!
Find the checkpoints, collect the stamps, earn the trophy — and maybe even secure a proud place in the Skaters’ Hall of Fame. ⛸️🏆

This fair traditionally attracts a huge crowd, so early reservations are highly recommended.
To secure your two stalls, please send an IM to Trouble Ahead.

And there’s more! At the end of December, we’ll kick off the final countdown to the holidays with a festive winter party featuring DJ Melanie Auxifur. Date and details will follow right here — so stay tuned!
The fair will be from 14 th of dec until 15 th of jan.
We can’t wait to welcome you, your creativity, and your sparkle.

Warm winter greetings,
Trouble Ahead (Events Coordinator)

Ruby Red Pumps for Ladies, something I'm experimenting with in Meshy AI, when the shoe line is ready I will make them available at the mall. They don't fit with perfection but they do fit nicely. I will post when they're available. Blessings and much love, Lavia.

Thanks to everyone, BloodMoon is ranked fifteenth this month among the most popular grids (source Hypergridbusiness: https://www.hypergridbusiness.com/2025/11/opensim-still-ha...)

A little rant. When SL implemented PBR textures, they included a script command called llSetRenderMaterial, which allows you to change the PBR material texture of a surface. Multiple scripts are now available there that do just that. This is similar to llSetTexture we've used forever to change the older blinn-phong textures.

When Opensim implemented their version of PBR, they decided that we didn't need osSetRenderMaterial activated for scripts, because really, who would actually use that stuff? If there's another more plausible reason I would love to hear it.

Ran into this trying to update a simple light sconce which allows you to touch the object to add light, fullbright, and glow to a surface to mimic a light that's turned on. For PBR, while turning on light is still the same, brightness and glow are managed by the emissive texture layer of a PBR Material. So to mimic a glowing light, you would need to be able to - you guessed it - CHANGE the material. But of course that's currently impossible in Opensim until someone incorporates that script function into code.

In the pics, you can see the PBR sconce on the left, and one with older textures on the right. In the top pic the light is off on both and in the bottom pic the light is on. The PBR glass looks great, and the light works, but you have no glow to show it's on. So for now, until osSetRenderMaterial is activated, I will have to set the glass material to always glowing. Or more likely, I will add a bulb inside with no PBR that will glow when touched.

Am Samstag 08.11.25 ist große Eröffnungsparty mit DJ Draupnir auf der Welcome von dem Andomeda-Grid im Andromeda-Club. Kommt zahlreich, schaut und erkundet die Welcome, es gibt vieles zu entdecken. Ab 19:00 Uhr geht`s dann im Club los und ihr könnt euch zu verschieden Musikrichtungen abzappeln. Von Schlager bis Rock, von Medival bis Viking ist alles dabei und vieles mehr.

Hope to see you soon.

X-petite: Vier Outfits, null Kompromisse.

Wenn du denkst, du hast schon alles gesehen – zieh das hier an und warte, bis die Blicke rückwärts laufen. Von „Ich bin nur zum Tanzen hier“ bis „Ich regiere diesen Raum mit einem Augenbrauen-Zucken“: Diese vier Looks sind wie kleine rebellische Statements mit Absatz. Spitze, Glanz, Schnürung und ein Hauch „Was willst du eigentlich?“ – X-petite spielt nicht Dress-up, X-petite spielt Endgegner.

BK Mode – Looks, die klicken.

Perky oder Legacy classic – du wählst die Form, BK Mode liefert den Effekt. Farben, Schnitte, Texturen: alles sitzt, alles wirkt. Kein langes Überlegen, kein Styling-Drama. Du siehst’s, du willst’s, du trägst’s.

BK ist wie Scrollen mit Stil. Nur besser.
