Atlas Fashion coming soon!

Another exciting event produced by the team on  Atlas grid, Harthelie, Chip and Jeff, is being planned - a fashion show!

Chip Atlas, Harthelie Atlas, and Jeff Kelly

If you attended the previous edition of their Fashion Show, you'll remember the spectacular evening in 2023 which drew a huge audience - a challenge in itself for any sim, but one that they rose to magnificently. This is the second parade in its initial form, with a similar (set but new outfits, obviously, hey, fashion is always changing!)  The Atlas friends are already planning ahead, and say that the 2025 extravaganza will take place in an entirely new setting.

So, what inspired the group to do an event like this?

Cyclone Watch

The sim Cyclone on Mobius lay quietly beneath us as we stood on the single rocky point above  a large, barren and open valley of green, with some otherworldly yellow lines surrounding the open space, just at the sim edge. The old rusting flight control building roasted under a cruel sun, as did the tarmac of the runway. It was the calm before the storm. With planes.
The address of this loveliness is, yes you guessed it, at the end of the post. Our visit began with some fast rezzing and a bit of a tech talk.

Luminalore Resident: Alright, perfect. Once Alex hops out we can begin! ^^

Royale Mobian: Alex please get out of the plane, we have a few things to say first before the fun begins

Lifted Pixel: haha telling safari not to sit

Royale Mobian: is there everyone?

Thirza Ember: yes, all here

Forest Azure: /me throws something at alex... a hearing aid

Thirza Ember: he may have some lag, give Alex a moment, he may not be able to move!

Lifted Pixel: we also love to sit

Safari Magic

And we're off with another season of Safari! Some glitchiness on HG Safari region, but we all seemed to overcome it one way or another, and landed on Wizardry, the freebie shopping region of CyberGlo's grid, Cyberdatastorm. As usual all HG Addresses are at the end of the post.

It was so great to have the usual gang back together, plus some new friends joining us for the first time.

Star Ravenhurst: Hi Lifted! I missed you all! GTS everyone!

Taarna Welles: Hear hear

lifted pixel: Hello! :3

Kelso Uxlay: It looks like people have trouble to TP from HGSafari Clubhouse... I moved back home and jumped from there

lifted pixel: yeah i went back to sandbox plaza and here, no problem

Thirza Ember: we can beat any tp problems LOL

lifted pixel: Safari is Authorized!

Forest Azure: ah, the hop worked

We landed in a beautiful meadow full of flowers.

CyberGlo CyberStar: welcome

Nara Nook: Hi Cyberglo

Magic in Panthalassa

Kayaker Magic, armed and dangerously clever

Our first Safari of the season continued on Discovery Grid with a... Safari destination! Lost World Safari is just one part of the vast Panthalassa region developed by Kayaker Magic. 

Take a moment to Favorite his Website, it's full of treasures, explanations, and hints.

 As you might expect the scripter extraordinaire had endlessly entertaining details for the group to enjoy, as we gathered together at the Lodge, perched high above the dinosaur enclosure. Panthalassia isn't the first 8x8 var region we have visited, but it's the first on Discovery Grid, so that may have contributed to the cloudiness, and - interestingly - selective nudity, that the group enjoyed. 

Total Annihilation

          Today, Ubit killed me. He has probably been wanting to do that for years.  Unfortunately for him, it didn't take, and here are the photos to prove it.

Ubit's Revenge

          You probably remember sim Outbreak on OSgrid. The zombie game was set in a lovely European town, with trees and squares and alleys and a big old church in the middle. The textures were, if I remember correctly, by Michelle Theiss, but the heart of the matter, the scripting, was by that Queen of Code, Total 'call me Louise' Sorbet. I had the great pleasure of catching up with her the other day and hearing her news. 

Frost Burn

I was with Lucy Afarensis when the call came in. 

Dabici Straulino: do you have 15 minutes? I would like to show you our winter build.

"Want to go skiing?" I said to Lucy. 

 "Sure, why not."

We were not dressed for it, because as you all know OSGrid has ongoing asset problems to the point that even if the item you click on is present in your Inventory (and that happens only once in about 100)  you still do not dare change clothes, because your current outfit is quite likely to disappear. Never mind, we shower twice a day, so  it's all perfectly hygienic. And I have been barefoot skiing before, so decided to risk it.
