When visiting one of the SM-Clubs (Stand & Model) what we do quite often to chat and chill, we also read profiles. In one of these profiles Jenny came across a gallery and gave me a hint to have a look as she knows that I love to see art and to dicover places I haven’t been before. That is how I came to Alanis Gallery. It is quite a surprise that I haven’t been there in all the years that I’m already in Second Life.
“Established since 2008, Alanis Gallery Sensual Images in Xaara, is a showcase for carefully selected original works by RL Artists with exclusive rights in SL, many with a D/s theme. Original RL photographs by Sylvia Fitzpatrick (which explore, both figuratively and conceptually, the submissive female, fetish and her local landscape).” And it is really huge (!). I like that you can teleport around between the different exhibitions and you’ll need it in order not to get lost in the gallery. The pictures are great, of course I don’t like them all but the bondage pictures I saw from several artist were really good. You can buy the pictures to decorate your SL home. Here are just 2 little teasers from Alanis gallery.
Outside of the building I didn’t expect much but there is much more. Xaara is also a bdsm community and has a lot to offer besides Alanis Gallery.
Xaara is “a Mediterranean style resort full of friendly people, beautiful art galleries, surprising shops and entertaining events and activities.” I roamed around and found that there are 6 private skyboxes that are free to use for a limited amout of time and I visited some ot them. They are at least a great hideaway to retreat to with a sub/slave or with Mistress Jenny. And there are also public play spaces for example a shibari room.
There are events and a events calendar and for sure a lot more activites (like the erotic library, dancing, discussions and …). My visit was short considering the variety and what Xaara has to offer.
