They are out and about, The Snow Family!! Mr., Mrs., Little Johnny and Little Missy and Pup and Kitten Snow will all make a wonderful and adorable addition to your holiday decor. They are full perm and free in our Holidays & Seasons department. They're just something very fun and I hope you like them!! Blessings and much love, Lavia.

Let this little cutie grace your landscape with vibrant but gentle colors. The flax plant with it's beautiful little flower will be the "star" of your garden, sidewalk, outdoor planter or vase. You'll find it exclusively at the Create A Scene Garden Center in the Star Jinn Palisade Mall. There is so much to see there and so many beautiful things. Stop in and feast your eyes and dare to dream of a beautiful scene that you can create. These pretty little flowers are full perm and free for you. Blessings and much love, Lavia

This is just one of the many beautiful sights to see at the Wildlife Preserve called Peaceful Enclave located on the Lioness Den region of our grid. Glow worms are such a beautiful sight to see in their dark caves and this little cave is no exception to that rule. Stop in and tour the region, enjoy the animals and the landscape, there is just so much to see and you can tour on foot, on a horse or use one of our many vehicles available. Blessings and much love, Lavia.

The Pumpkin House that traveled with us from the Old grid to the new. One of our many original decoration creations. It can be used as a fantasy home or shrink it and make it a decoration on a table, the possibilities are endless...pretty much... it's in the Holidays & Seasons department of the mall. Blessings and much love, Lavia

The kids are back to school, Labor Day is upon us, soon it will be Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas and New Years....so once again thoughts of our favorite holidays are upon us, of wonderful family celebrations and sharing time, laughs and love. So we've designed some items for you to decorate your region with for the holidays. Stop by our Holidays & Seasons shop, the TP is located on the large TP board. We'll be adding more Autumn and Harvest things you can use for halloween and Thanksgiving and we've added some Christmas items. It isn't much but it's original builds. We look forward to seeing you at the Mall. Blessings and much love, Lavia.

You will find that all but very few of the homes and buildings on display at the Star Jinn Palisade Mall are original builds. Even our shop buildings are original builds. Everything is free and very nearly everything is full perm and we're adding more as we get the stuff done. Stop by and check it out. Blessings and much love, Lavia

Introducing Star Ravenhurst's Beautiful Art Gallery - La Beau Retrouvè, designed and built by her and displaying much of her own artwork. The Genesis Roleplay Grid is proud to have Star as part of our family. Star will be accepting artwork from other artists who wish to display their talent in her gallery, and we will see to it that the artwork is advertised and displayed in a professional manner. Stop by the Star Jinn Palisade Mall and have a look at this beautiful Gallery (it's not completed with all the artwork yet), and visit the rest of the mall while you're here and take in a vast display of talent in various genres including buildings, furniture, plants, scenes, and many other items that you may find useful for your own grid!

If I have a region listed "no fly" it is for a reason, mostly because if you fly in those regions you will miss the beauty of the hard work that was done to make it worth visiting in the first place. I know everybody likes to get around fast and if a region owner makes their land that you can fly over it that's all well and good, but if they have it set to no fly, why not respect that. I watched someone arrive, wait a moment, then they were flying which meant they had to use the command to allow them to override my settings and that, no matter how you cut it, is disrespectful and rude. So from now on, if I am on and I catch you flying in my no fly regions you will be banned, not because you flew but because you disrespected my settings and overrode them. I really don't mean to be a b**ch about things but this kind of blatant disrespect really gives me the red a**. Further when I spoke to this person they just hovered above me for a while then left without answering, again, very rude and disrespectful. Truth is, if you ask me nicely I would probably let you fly, and I also have teleporters out for fast travel through the region. Just don't use the command to override the settings I have. Thank you. Blessings and much love, Lavia.

Once again a fun creation that you can blame on my sweet tooth. The Ice Cream Sunday Pavilion! You may need some diabetic medicine just looking at it, it's a delicious little build that you can have a lot of fun with especially if you have a fantasy region. Blessings and much love, Lavia

Our latest arrival at the Wildlife Preserve are some wild Namib Horses. These horses are believed to be the offspring of German Cavalry, and were possibly abandoned after world war one. They are hearty and athletic and generally fare well until drought season.. I invite you to visit the Game Preserve and travel the entire region to see many of the animals in their natural habitats. There is more to the preserve than the restaurant and museum at the arrival point. If you love to just take a walk in a peaceful region and see the animals, then you will enjoy this. Blessings and much love, Lavia

I'm reading a lot of whining about "banning" oh how dare they?? ::gasp:: Listen, sweetheart, people have the right to ban whomever they wish for whatever reason they wish whether we like it or not - their grid or region, their rules their choice. I think it's a bit extreme, however, I have on occasions for personal reasons banned certain individuals because they have done their best to destroy my work or reputation, and we all know that people are generally inclined to believe the bad stories about someone rather than the good. I do not, as a rule, ban anybody who doesn't truly have it coming or who has not "requested" that I ban them, which has happened because I would not run my grid they way they wanted me to. I'd like to believe that everyone in open sim is adult, however that's a little like believing ice won't melt over a fire. I have met very few people in open sim that I dislike and then it is not the person I dislike so much as what they have done or said, but they are not banned nor will they be unless they earn it. I'm not going to name names and point fingers as that is "high school kid" stuff done by immature tattle tales who will go out of their way to make other's look bad...now days, I think they call them "Karens". So why don't we all just put on our "grown up" pants and panties and act like adults? Build, roleplay, dance, sing, create, design and develop and quit bitching about stuff that doesn't mean a hill of beans in the long run because the truth is, nobody cares if you've been banned. I do my best not to give anyone a reason to ban me but if you feel it's necessary for your own sanity, then by all means...have at it, I assure you it will not diminish me to the people who matter. You see the people who matter won't mind and the people who mind.....don't matter. Have a lovely day.

Just hanging out at the Mall this morning and this looked cool so I thought I'd share it, early morning at Star Jinn Palisade Mall located at grid.genesis-roleplay.org:8002:Masala Al Kohav (Masala Al Kohav means "Wish upon a Star") so make a wish and come visit us, we may have what you're looking for. If not we may know where to find it or we may be able to build it for you. Blessings and much love, Lavia

Building For Beginners - Classes for our Grid members and those who join the building group, are every Sunday (except holidays) at 3:30pm Pacific (grid) time. These classes are offered in the hopes of encouraging people to create their own content for their regions. There is so much creativity in Open Sim, so let's bring it to the surface. See ya there!

As we approach Memorial Day, I would like to offer to you, the chance for a personalized remembrance of your loved one in the form of one of our beautiful memorials which will be placed in our Haven of Memories for you to visit any time you wish. There is no charge for these memorials, and you receive your own copy of it which will be full perm for you. Letting the memory of your loved one fade, fades a part of you so we'd like to help you maintain that memory. Come and visit the region and see the work that's been done, I think you'll like it. Blessings and much love, Lavia.

The latest of my builds now on display at the mall, the sales box is in front of the house and it is open to all to explore the house inside and out. It does have unlinked doors so if you get it be sure to set it out in edit and keep it in edit until it's positioned. This beautiful home is yours for free to use on your region and I hope you love it. Blessings and much love, Lavia.

We would like to take this opportunity to say welcome to two of our new shop owners at the mall.....WELCOME - Ares Halostar and Ares' Gizmoes; and WELCOME - Moora McMillin and "Moora's Gallery". Ares has all kinds of really cool scripted gadgets that are a lot of fun and Moora is a photographer and artist who produces beautiful work. We look forward to a long and pleasant friendship with our new patrons. Be sure and stop by the Mall Region and check it out as we're adding more and more each week. Blessings and much love, Lavia.

Fully up and running now with no issues. I've also added benches, candles to light and places to pray. This is a place to memorialize your loved one be they virtual loved ones, real life loved ones, or even pets. See us about creating a beautiful, personalized memorial to your loved one. Visit the region and relax, rest, remember and reflect and walk away with your faith refreshed. Blessings and much love, Lavia

Okay finally we're back up and working for however long it lasts LOL. The lay out is different but I honestly think it is aesthetically comforting. I haven't restored the media yet, but that's coming soon and I want to add a few more things yet but overall it's ready for those who would like to visit, relax, reflect and remember the love shared with our loved ones. Blessings and much love, Lavia.

Haven of Memories if off line until further notice. I will be working feverishly to bring it back up. But I'm faced with the same issues I had the first time so I can't let that open to the public to have to contend with. But we'll be back soon...I promise.

This memorial is for little "Gracie". If you want to shed a few tears while you're building something, just do a memorial for a baby. This precious little buddy was just a year old plus a few days, when she crossed over and her Grandmother asked me to do a memorial for her. This was not an avatar, this was a real life granddaughter and I can't begin to imagine the depth of the loss felt by the family. I hope this helps bring them some comfort and peace. Blessings and much love, Lavia

A friend visited the Haven of Memories and in our discussion she said she missed her fur baby. I immediately thought it would be a good thing to offer a place for folks to remember their fur babies that have crossed the rainbow bridge. So Haven of Memories now has a "Pet Memorial Section" to pay tribute to our beloved furry, feathered and even scaled babies. If you would like your pet memorialized, feel free to contact me and we'll talk about what you would like to see. Blessings and much love, Lavia

The latest addition to Star Jinn Palisade Mall's "Urban" builds. Gram Z's "Amish-Country Barn". It includes sliding barn doors, dual silos, ladder climbers, and lots of room for imagination in your farm build. Come explore all of the builds and products in our mall for original content. Blessings and much love, Lavia.

Star Ravenhurst and I were honored to be on the Inworld Review program today, March 19th to be interviewed about Masala Al Kohav, Star Jinn Palisade Mall. It was an awesome time and it really let us talk about why we do what we do and what we have to offer. I'm including a link so you can watch it if you like. Blessings and much love, Lavia.

Well things are pretty much back to normal at the Haven and it's open to anybody who would like to visit there. When you do be sure to turn your "media" on and then just walk around, relax, remember, and rejoice in the time we were granted to spend with our loved ones. I truly hope this region will bring you some solace and peace in your heart and mind. Blessings and much love, Lavia

Check out our grid, the Genesis Role Play Grid. We offer structured role play at it's finest and as a role player you can take on multiple characters as you show you can handle it. The story line is already defined, so a part in it is much like being cast in a movie and our director is Metal Tango. We've recently relaxed the Plymouth Crucible so people can visit and see what the story and RP is all about. I can tell you there is nothing I like more than a long running story line that has a good story to tell. It includes vampires, witches, werewolves and more but not in any traditional sense and nobody is a "superhero", nobody is "indestructible" - isn't that a neat idea, villains and heroes with weaknesses and faults. Come to the Plymouth Crucible and check it out but, be aware there is a maze you must get through to get to the town and it's tricky, one wrong answer and...... " grid.genesis-roleplay.org:8002:Plymouth Crucible " be a part of a powerful growing story line.

Our beautiful Star Jinn Palisade Mall! It's not got as much as we'd like, but very nearly all of what you see on display are our original builds created with the open sim community in mind. Come and visit and explore a mall with a unique touch and design - all outdoor except the specialty shops. Our featured shops are GramZ's Country Creations, Star Ravenhurst Designs (She has a specialty shop and large section of buildings that are a must see), Fall's For You specialty shop of unique avatars, youth avatars and clothing, cleaned up and presented by our own Dusty Falls. Buildings that are "Thor" built and much more. It's best to explore the entire mall (region) rather than just stand at the welcome point and cam. C'mon, enjoy the journey, who knows you may just find something you really like. Everything is CMT and free for you. Blessings and much love, Lavia

My own little shop in the Star Jinn Palisade Mall features a full kitchen set with working dishwasher, oven, refrigerator, sink with water off and on. The fridge gives glasses of cold water though I may need to upgrade the script so it animates the avatar to drink the water.... :D. You'll find complete living room suits, lamps and even a complete set of dishes for on the dinner table. The Dinette set chairs have sits though no animation to eat, I'm sure eventually I'll get around to that. I hope you'll find something to your liking to decorate your home with - all of the builds are originals made with love, by me! Blessings and much love, Lavia.

Our Patio & Deck Furniture n Décor section features our original builds including patio/beach/deck tables with umbrellas and chairs, fountains and the tree bench. We will be adding much more as time goes by and there are plenty of shops in our mall to explore. These items were created by our own grid members right here in Open Sim and they are CMT and free for you! Blessings and much love, Lavia

Our Building Supplies department at the Star Jinn Palisade Mall! We have regular doors, sliding doors, interior and exterior doors, screen doors and doors with windows. We have stone wall sections both straight and curved and windows of various kinds, regular, fancy and bay windows. There are various door frames, fancy, modern, fantasy and arched and we even have a fancy mesh elven arch. We also have various pillar styles that you might like. And nearly everything is mesh and 3land impact or less. Everything is CMT and it's all free at our mall. Blessings and much love, Lavia

New adventure for me making dishes and cutlery. Here we have my spring violet table set and everything is modifiable, copyable, transferrable. This is a pretty complete set but you have to see it to appreciate it. You can find it in my little shop at the Mall. Hope to see you there as we have LOTS of stuff and new stuff being added every day - stuff that "we" on this grid have built. We love what we do and we hope you will too. Blessings and much love, Lavia

A friend asked me if I had a tree bench, you know the kind that circles a tree so you can relax in the shade? Well no I didn't have one so I built one, complete with sits enough for 8 people. Great serviceable décor for around your favorite shade tree. You can find it here at the mall and it's free and full perm. Blessings and much love, Lavia.
