Backflash December 2019 – Season Greetings (December 4th, 2012)

In the “Backflash” series I select an old entry once a month and present it here. This way I force myself to browse in the archive and to fresh up a few of the many memories. For our readers this series shall provide an insight into our Second Life without reading back the many posts and it might also give reason to browse through the archives.

For December 2019, I scrolled 7 years back to December 2012 and found a post about our home and about our friend Argi. Argi came to us during a roleplay in which we caught her and kept her as out victim for some weeks. For some reason Argi was reluctant and resisted being collared by us and her resistance is ongoing up until today. The collar issue is a regular tease when we’re with Argi nowadays. She has become a close friend of ours. She’s kind of the union representative for the slaves, always fighting for them in a playful way. And all Maurers like to cuddle with Argi or at least to hug her. Also in a playful manner we call her Princess or Argichen. Argi has also a talent for invention new words in English or mixing words from different languages. And she’s always entertaining and can liven up any group of people.

The post “Seasol Greeetings” is quite short. I didn’t write as much as I do nowadays and I didn’t post that often. What you can see is how our home has changed with the years. Back in 2012 it all looked quite more basic. Also the graphic quality has increased a lot since 2012. I don’t get tired to say how much Second Life has also changed to the upside. We take the progress way to much as granted.

We still decorate our home for the season every year. And the gazebo that you see in this post is still the one we use today. We also alyes have the ice rink and some other smaller deco items, which accompanied us for many many years. Here’s the post:

Season Greetings

Another year turns to its end. It has become a nice tradition that we have some snow in SL in December until New Year. So we continue this tradtion. For us a familiar view in the meanwhile. For those new to us…well …. we have a “guest” right now, Argi Boa,  since a few weeks who is definitively freezing just by seeing snow in SL. We do have fun with her complains about the snow and her way wrapping up herself in the thickest clothes available.
We have decorated the house and prepared the ice rink. So at least here we do have a lovely winter holiday scenery.

We wish you all a great Advent season looking forward to some more quiet days around christmas and New year.
Love from Diomita & Jenny

Simploring 2019 (128) .:Mt. Conners Station:.Winterland

20 Dec 2019 1 Comment

by diomitamaurer in Exploring sims in Second Life Tags: , , , ,

For my simploring tour on Sunday, December 1st, I picked “.:Mt. Conners Station:.Winterland” from scoop.it SL Destinations.
.:Mt. Conners Station:.Winterland, furtheron also shorter just Winterland, is an adult homestead owned by Phil Conners (philconners) and OdetteBK and it is their private home.

.:Mt. Conners Station:.Winterland – overview

The landing point at Winterland is a bar waggon of an old train at Mt. Conners Station – although there’s no station. When you step out of the waggon you are in a Winter wonderland. Polar bears, deers and other animals liven up the white world.

Impressions of .:Mt. Conners Station:.Winterland (1) – around the landing point

Winterland is an island embedded in a fitting sim surround. It offers a lot of nice places to cuddle and watch. There’re games and places to dance. In the center is a large cage with a huge Christmas tree inside. On my simploring tour I saw a place for the Thanksgiving dinner, I came across an ice scating area, I saw a carousel and a frozen waterfall. The castle right next to the landing point is not really accessible and not furnished. The large and the small gazebo are particular romantic for dancing or for enjyoing togetherness.

Impressions of .:Mt. Conners Station:.Winterland (2) – the Christmas tree in the Cage / small ice Skating / Thanksgiving dinner / the carousel

Winterland is not overdone. It’s playful and peaceful and there’re some nice spots to simply enjoy or to have fun. The private residence of Phil and Odette is seperated from the public part of the sim by some hills and you don’t see it if you don’t zoom out. It goes without saying that you should respect the privacy.

Impressions of .:Mt. Conners Station:.Winterland (3) – ice Skating area, the small and the large gazebo / the frozen waterfall

For photographers the train with the steam engine is a great background but there’re more spots for taking pictures. If you seek a smaller, more private and not overcrowded place, Winterland is the place for you to visit. I enjoyed my visit to .:Mt. Conners Station:.Winterland. Thank you Phil Conners (philconners) and OdetteBK for sharing most of your sim with the public.

Diary 2019 (192) December 10th/11th The right attitude

Tuesday, December 10th, Mistress Jenny and I spent our time in the afternoon at club DeLust. We caught up with RL and with what happened the night before in SL when Mistress wasn’t present. Mistress kept on teasing me and to my surprise her dominance and my submission is still growing slowly but steadily and irreversibly.

December 10th: Mistress Jenny and Diomita at club DeLust / Mistress Jenny, Diomita, Angelique, slave Flo and slave Gwendi at home

When I returned at night Mistress was playing skipee with slave Flo. Hence we gathered at the skipee table and slave Gwendi and I watched the game. When they were done, Angelique also joined us to say hello and good night. We went to Mesmerize Dungeon and her Radek (readek galaxy) with us. We chatted and watched and had fun. We moved on to Psi’s realm and watched the scenery there until it was time to go to bed. Argi came by for a quick kiss.

December 10th: Mistress Jenny, Diomita, Angelique, slave Flo and slave Gwendi with Radek at Mesemrize Dungeon and at Psi’s realm

Finally I had some time of togetherness with Mistress before we logged off .. and yes I got my fix.

Wednesday afternon, December 11th, our time in the afternoon was short as Mistress had to leave earlier. It was yet not too short for Mistress to tighten my collar.  She also put a chastity belt on my and locked it. I really hate chastity belts on myself because I can hardly wear anything domme with it and only just a very few more submissive clothes that look nice. In addition I fear the script load that might prevent me from simploring, if scripts are limited. Spontaneously I cursed, when Mistress put the belt on. Mistress admonished me, then she took me to Heavy Bondage Club for 15 minutes before we returned home as she had to leave again.

December 11th: Mistress Jenny and Ehesklavin Diomita at home and at Heavy Bondage Club

Back home Mistress expressed how much it pleases her to see me belted and that this should make me happy instead of making me curse. Consequently she had to punish me to enhance my attitudes and to work on my temper. She selected a light punishment and layed out crystal clearly that she will punish me harder if my attitudes don’t improve (and no, I won’t reveal what kind of punishment *winks*). Then Mistress left to tend to her RL. What an afternoon!

Our night started relaxed and wnad was quiet. Mistress allowed me to change and hid the chastity belt. We had a dance in the Christmas gazebo where Angelique joined us. We started with a round of skipee. Ann came by and showed us her Gummi bear costume and some dances. Really funny.
To our surprise still none of the slaves was inworld. Mistress and I went to club Domme a Domme and later to Mesmerize Dungeon after we had finished the skipee and after Angelique had left for bed. We watched the silent crowd, read profiles and chatted a bit amoung us. At Mesmerize Dungeon HS Anndroid (Ann aka TransAnn) joined us again for a few minutes. And unbelievably we also succeeded initiating some main chat.

For this months Enjoying Bondage series I selected a picture that I took at The Red Room on December 5th. I had parked slave Gwendi in a pillory there and slave Flo was dancing for Mistress and me. Ann and slave slut cecy joined us there too.
I selected a picture with Mistress Jenny sitting in a throne (quite befitting isn’t it?), myself standing next to her slave Gwendi in the pillory (Yes, although you only see her but, I can reassure you, it is slave Gwendi). I added slave Flo in her gord suit, in which we put her on December 8th. As this is the Enjoying Bondage series there has to be some bondage! I also add slave slut cecy from a picture that I took at Psi’s realm. slut is still wearing her isolation suit. Finally I placed Ann (Transann) in her black latex Mistress suit from a picture taken at Mesmerize Dungeon on the right just to add some spice to the picture.
As I couldn’t find a good title, this months picture is simply named “Enjoying Bondage and more…”

Diary 2019 (191) December 7-9th Quiet yet varied Days

17 Dec 2019 Leave a comment

Our time in Second Life on Saturday, December 7th, was short. Mistress and I were prevented from getting inworld during the day. We both came online late at night and wanted to relax. slave Gwendi was inworld and we took her with us on a tour through the clubs. Mistress and I talked with each other, we talked with slave Gwendi and we got some private chats. It was a relaxed night, exactly what we both needed. And that’s is already for the diary about Saturday.

December 7th: Mistress Jenny and Diomita with slave Gwendi at Mesmerize Dungeon, at Heavy Bondage Club and at club DeLust

Sunday, December 8th, started also relaxing. I first caught up with Mistress about our mutual news and Mistress allowed me to lick her and to get my fix. That was already a great start into the afternoon. We went to club Domme a Domme next and spent quite a while there. It ws busy and some main chat was going on. Hence we had something to listen and we also read profiles. I also saw an old acquaintance of mine  (I won’t reveal a name *winks).

December 8th: Mistress Jenny and Diomita at home (left), at club Domme a Domme (middle) and at Heavy Bondage Club (upper right) / an old acquaintance of Diomita kneeling for another domme at club Domme a Domme (upper right) / Mistress Jenny and Diomita with sappy at the sandbox Mage

We left club Domme a Domme and went on to Heavy Bondage Club. After about 5 minutes Mistress vanished and crashed. On her return she told me that she was forced teleported and trapped at a sandbox named Mage. She also told me that sappy (durham novaland) was also there and trapped. Mistress was a bit puzzled about the forced teleport as she was not wearing a relay. Anyway we went to the sandbox but we couldn’t help sappy. In the end she had to use her safeword to unlock her relay in order to leave the trap. sappy told us that a dozend of people were teleported from Heavy Bondage Club to the sandbox – very strange.
Our time for the afternoon was up and we went home.

My night was quiet and nice. Mistress was prevented from coming inworld. I took slave Flo and slave Gwendi to Mesmerize Dungeon where we met Ann shortly. We had just a bit main chat but mostly were in private chat. I took slave Gwendi to Psi’s realm later and to Heavy Bondage Club before we went to bed.

December 8th: Diomita with slave Flo, slave Gwendi and Ann at Mesemrize Dungeon / Diomita and slave Gwendi at Psi’s realm

Monday, December 9th, I spent an hour with Mistress at Heavy Bondage Club. After we had caught up with our news we read profiles and we both had several private chats. Ann joined us and as she was wearing her cuffs and gear open I locked her up and set timers. Someone has to do it *winks*. We made contact to two potential subs. I think both will not fit but you never know.

December 9th: Mistress Jenny and Diomita at Heavy Bondage Club with Ann

The night became varied for me. I first had two rounds of greedy with slave Gwendi. While we were playing one of the subs who contacted me at Heavy Bondage Club in the afternoon, called me and asked about the isolation suit in which we kept the slaves a few weeks before and which slave slut cecy was still wearing. I gave her the link to the marketplace, told her to wear it and to get ready for a being summoned.
I went to the house with slave gwendi and summoned the sub. Her name is Rio (riolamour). I took control and restricted her and gave her some simple rules to follow. Then I cared about slave Gwendi. A few weeks ago Mistress and I had asked the slaves to tell us their two favourite outfits. I unlocked slave Gwendi’s head cage and took it off. For the next days slave Gwendi will wear just the vixen set and a harness blindfold gag and she has to find something appropriate to wear with it. When slsave Flo joined us, I also unlocked her and ordered her to wear her gord suit. Ann had joined us in the meanwhile and stayed with us for half an hour. After I was done with changing the slaves I took them all to Mesmerize Dungeon.

December 9th – a varied night at home and at Mesmerize Dungeon: Diomita, Rio (riolamour) in the green/red isolation suit, slave Gwendi quite unrestricted, slave Flo in her gord suit, Ann and Argi

Ann left soon but Argi showed up. We had fun at Mesmerize Dungeon and entertained the club most probably. We returned home when it was slave Flo’s bedtime .. and we all went to bed.

Simploring 2019 (127) Winter @ Dream Bay

16 Dec 2019 1 Comment

by diomitamaurer in Exploring sims in Second Life Tags: , , , , , ,

When I published my simploring report about Dream Bay on November 22nd (read Simploring 2019 (117) Autumn @ Dream Bay), it was  just the day Aylia (aylaj) began with modifying the 2 Islands for the Winter season. I decided to revisit Dream Bay on Friday, November 29th. Dream Bay is moderate homestead owned by Morgan Firehawk (mmorganwhitfield). It is the home of the Care and Hope Center, the mainstore of a brand for shoes “Heels” and it is the private home of Morgan, she calls it Huckleberry Island.

Dream Bay Winter 2019 – overview

The sim was landscaped and design by Ayla (aylaj). Now it is a lovely Winter Installation and it was again a lot of fun to visit and enjoy!

Dream Bay in Winter 2019

The landing point is still right next to a zip line. I used the zip line to get the the smaller of the two islands. The Halloween decoration is gone and replaced with a lovely gazebo. At the shore I found a nice place to sit and enjoy – an open gondola from a ski lift.

The whole sim is now covered with snow, there’s a nice place for ice scating surrounded by decorated and illuminated trees between the two Islands now. Watch the funny penguin ice skating there. Close by is an outdoor café and restaurant.

Impressions of Dream Bay Winter 2019 (1) – The smaller island

At several points you find now the possibility for snow ball fights. And some seasonal decoration is added too of course. I also found more places to sit and cuddle and to enjoy the beautiful landscape and the peaceful atmosphere. The Aurora borealis offers great backgrounds for taking pictures. I enjoyed this part in particular.

Impressions of Dream Bay Winter 2019 (2) – The ice skating

Morgan is a supporter of an initiative against domestic violence. Since 2014, the Care and Hope Center is a not-for-profit information hub to educate and instill awareness on the horrors of domestic violence. Free and confidential class discussion groups are offered every other month. Please stop by the Center to see when our next class session will begin.  Safe, free, friendly and always open to the public. A lot of information including a hotline for getting advice and help can be obtained in the center.

Impressions of Dream Bay Winter 2019 (3)

Morgan is a professional model in Second Life and she is the owner of Heels, a small and humble shoe store. The mainstore of Heels is located at Dream Bay, right next to the Care and Hope Center. All proceeds go towards the maintenance and operation of the Care and Hope Center of SL. Everything Morgan does in Second Life, whether modeling and/or Heels, is for the sole purpose of bringing attention to the Care and Hope Center and Domestic Violence Awareness.

Dream Bay offers a lot for those who enjoy taking pictures or those who just want to escape from their RL for a while and enjoy the peace. It is designed professionally but with a lot of love for the detail as well.

Impressions of Dream Bay Winter 2019 (4) – The covered bridge and several places to sit and cuddle

Thank you Morgan for providing your sim to the public and for your engagement against domestic violence. It is an important matter and I truely appreciate your work! I hope that the Care and Hope Center gets the attention it deserves. And many thanks to Ayla (aylaj), you did once again a great job landscaping and designing Dream Bay and created a sim that fits to its name.
I did enjoy my 2nd visit again!

Simploring 2019 (126) Lairig Leacach

15 Dec 2019 1 Comment

by diomitamaurer in Exploring sims in Second Life Tags: , , , ,

Today I came across “Lairig Leach” on scoop.it SL Destinations. Lairig Leach is the newest installation of Serene Footman, it is his quite unusal holiday gift to the residents of Second Life.

As always Serene has selected an unknown, remote and particular spot in Real Life and brought it to Second Life. Larig Leach is “a tiny bothy in a spectacular situation at the foot of Stob Ban in the Central Scottish Highlands. A bothy – also called a byre, or cowshed – is a refuge, a place to rest tired feet or sleep, sheltered from the wind, rain and snow.“

Lairig Leacach

In Serene’s own blog you’ll find a detail description about this particular bothy (Lairig Leach) as well as about the Scottish Highlands and the Mountain Bothies Association. There’re also some pictures of Lairig Leach in RL as well as other links with more information.

Impressions of Lairig Leacach (1)

Around the bothy Lairig Leach are mountains, a river, animals, rocks, a frozen pond, trees, trails, snow and more snow. The windlight setting is selected to make us freeze. The landing point is a frozen pond and you have to walk a bit to reach Lairig Leach which is quite in the center of the sim. The bothy itself contains nothing more than a loft bed, broken shelves and two chairs. Nonetheless it is the only place that offers shelter from wind and snow. For someone who hiked a few hours through the loneliness of the Scottish Highlands in Winter, such a bothy can be the paradise, a life saving shelter. And this interpretation could make Serene’s Lairig Leacach a Christmas installation.

Impressions of Lairig Leacach (2)

Not surprisingly Lairig Leacach is outstanding in its simplicity – nature, snow and just a few places to sit. The sim background is perfectly fitting to the sim so that you can’t differentiate between the sim and the background. It is a pardise for photographers.

Impressions of Lairig Leacach (3)

Be aware that Lairig Leacach is a temporary installation and might be gone by the end of the year.
Thank you for your holiday gift, Serene. I enjoyed my visit, Happy Holidays!

Diary 2019 (190) December 5th/6th The end of a red light?

Thursday, December 5th, Mistress Jenny was inworld comparably early in the afternoon. She was adding to her wardrobe when I came online and I could watch her for a while. After she had finished she asked me to wear something black and domme and took me to club Domme a Domme. We caught up with our mutal news and then Mistress unlocked my Ehesklavin collar and replaced it with my sub collar.
Mistress used to end red lights with changing the collar. Things have changed with this red light, that started over 3 weeks ago. The changing of the collar didn’t really end the red light. There are no red lights anymore. Mistress said she will be just a bit less strict with me and that she indicates it with the change of the collar. She also suspended some of the rules for me temporarily and thus gave me a break. Thank you, Mistress.

20191205 Diary_001
December 5th: Mistress Jenny and Ehesklavin Diomita at club Domme a Domme and at Heavy Bondage Club with Ann, the robot (upper middle picture shows me wearing my sub collar again)

We went to Heavy Bondage Club and talked about the last 3 weeks and how things have changed for me and for Mistress Jenny. Ann came by. She’s a robot right now and enjoys it a lot.

Thursday night was relaxed for Mistress and me. We went to The Red Room with Angelique, slave Flo and slave Gwendi and had slave Gwendi fixed in a pillory all night. slave Flo danced for us. Ann and two friends of her came by accidentially and later, just before we went off to bed slave slut cecy came inworld and Mistress summoned her to The Red Room as well. The Red Room had changed totally compared to my last visit but is still worth a visit!

December 5th: Mistress Jenny, Diomita, slave Gwendi, slave Flo, slave slut cecy and Ann at The Red Room

Friday, December 6th, I went on a simploring tour in the afternon. At night I was inworld early and met with slave Gwendi. I took the opportunity and made her spoil me with her tongue even if I had to free her head from the wire head cage. slave Gwendi was blindfolded and could focus on her “work”.

December 6th: Diomita and slave Gwendi at home

And Friday night we had our party of course. Starry had proposed the theme for that night: “Wear some latex or a harness, or even both and come dance with us.” We had fun starting into the weekend. Mistress, Angelique, slave Flo and slave Gwendi and I, we all had our little santas dancing with us 🙂

December 6th – Friday night party: Angelique, Diomita, Mistress Jenny, slave Flo, slave Gwendi, Angelique, Baroness Capelo (upper rowu) / Starbright Wingtips, Sara (SaraRandall), Della Randt, Jammy Serendipity (navanaxsacratus), Virgo Babii, Alaunirra A’Daragon (ams684), Della Randt (lower row)

I titeled this diary entry with “The end of a red light?” I could have also titeled “The end of red lights”. Both titles would not fit. In fact there’s a steady red light now, Mistress just tightens and relaxes it at her discretion – besides of green lights.

 

Simploring 2019 (125) Nevgilde Gaard

14 Dec 2019 1 Comment

by diomitamaurer in Exploring sims in Second Life Tags: , , , ,

When I looked for a place for my simploring tour on Wednesday, November 20th, at scoop.it SL Destinations I came across Nevgilde Gaard again with pictures showing a Winter landscape. I had visited Nevgilde Gaard in August (see Simploring 2019 (91) Nevgilde Gaard). Knowing that this post will be published in December – why not getting in the mood for Winter? Hence I revisited Nevgilde Gaard. There’s nothing to add to my simploring report from August. But in Winter this corner of Second Life looks very different. Neaira did a great job and added not just the snow but also an aurora borealis and a forest background for taking pictures. I took some really nice first Winter pictures. Thank you Neaira!

Here’s the simploring report from August once again 🙂

For my simploring tour on Friday, August 16th, I picked Nevgilde Gaard from scoop.it SL Destinations. Nevgilde Gaard is 1/8 of a full sim, rated moderted. It is owned by Neaira Allegiere (Neaira Aszkenaze). The landmark description implies that there has been another place before: “Nevgilde Gaard is the second chapter in The Nevgilde Story. And as it’s predecessor is inspired by Norwegian nature and heritage.“

The name Nevgilde rang a ball. I visited Nevgilde Forest December 2018 (Simploring 2019 (3) Nevgilde Forest). According to my own notes, Nearia was co-owning Nevgilde Forest at the time of my visit. Anyway, I checked and found out that Nevgilde Forest is gone. Is Nevgilde Forest the above mentioned predecessor sim?

Back to Nevgilde Gaard. It is a comparably small place but packed with beautiful views and nice seperated from the surrounding plots, so that you don’t see them when your at Nevgilde Gaard. The landing is on the almost highest point of the plot on a plateau in the woods. Nevgilde Gaard is designed like a section of a shoreline of a Norwegian fjord. There’s just a lot of forest in the background, a rocky shoreline, one single residential house, a short beach, a beck … and that’s it.

Nevilde Gaard – overview and around the landing point

From the landing point I walked across the beck to the house. I had a lot of beautiful views. Nevgilde Gaard is designed with love for the detail and everythings looks quite well fitting together. I just had some minor problems with getting all textures loaded.

Impressions of Nevgilde Gaard (1)

I visited the house and also had a look inside. It didn’t surprise me at all that it is nicely furnished. From the wooden terrace of the house you have a lovely view over the ocean (or fjord). A bit below of the house is a small beach with some more possibilities to sit and watch. Just opposed to the beach is a small island with a place to camp and a nice view over the shoreline.

Impressions of Nevgilde Gaard (2) – the residential house

Nevgilde Gaard is a showcase for Neaira’s passion: landscape and design. She’s specialized in Nothern European nature and style.
In a skybox above Nevgilde Gaard is Neaira’s shop “NS Thrift Shop & Poses“, that offers decor, furniture, jewelry and couple’s poses.

Impressions of Nevgilde Gaard (3) at the beach, view from the small Island on Nevgilde Gaard and NS Thrift shop

Nevgilde Gaard is a very beautiful corner of Second Life. I like the atmosphere of peace and nature of it and I had kind of a little time-out while I explored and enjoyed. Thank you Neaira Allegiere (Neaira Aszkenaze) for sharing Nevgilde Gaard with the public!

Simploring 2019 (124) Donkeys by Cica Ghost

13 Dec 2019 Leave a comment

by diomitamaurer in Exploring sims in Second Life Tags: , , , , ,

Yesterday I got an invitation from Cica to visit her newest installation “Donkeys by Cica Ghost“, that opnend December 12th. I went there today.

Cica’s invitation (Upper left) / Diomita riding a donkey (lower left) / Diomita taking a break watching the seagulls (upper right) / Bird eye view on Donkeys by Cica Ghost (lower right)

Cica’s Donkeys are presented once again by Sim Quarterly, a sim and initiative of Electric Monday:
“Art and the virtual world, Second Life© are very similar — you are able to both find yourself and immerse yourself (and maybe even lose yourself) in something totally unlike what you already know. The experiences you gain help you grow and form new opinions about the world. That is what I hope this sim can provide over time. I am very excited to bring to you a quarterly art project by way of The Sim Quarterly.
The project features one creator every 3 months (every quarter) as an artist in residence. The purpose of the sim is so that residents can experience something new and even create a community.”
Learn more about Sim Quarterly at their website.

Impressions of “Donkeys by Cica Ghost” (1)

As I expected already I had a lot of fun visiting Cica’s donkeys. They look “Cica-ish”, are of course very tall, and are happy. Their i-a, i-a, ia can be heard all over the place. Many “Cica-ish” houses are all around the island, which is quite full of flowers and trees, mainly coconut trees. That is a little bit unusual for Cica but fits very well.

Impressions of “Donkeys by Cica Ghost” (2) snails and cats

Quite close to the landing you find a house with a donkey store inside. And yes, you can buy these happy animals – 10 different donkeys. But there are more animals at Donkeys by Cica Ghost. I saw many seagulls, I saw butterflies, snails and… yes, cats!

Impressions of “Donkeys by Cica Ghost” (3) – lower right shows the donkey store

There is no deeper sense – at least not for me. Donkeys by Cica Ghost is just for having fun, for being childish and enjoy. There’re comparably many opportunities to sit, for example in the houses, and to watch the animals. I recommend to hoover with your muse over the objects … at one gateway you can stand and dance. Cica also place a litte tv in one house “Don’t touch” – and of course it means “touch!”, funny! You can also sit in a boat and watch the scenery from there.

Impressions of “Donkeys by Cica Ghost” (4)

In short: Donkeys by Cica Ghost are fun – a different fun these days before Christmas. I enjoyed my visit and it comnjured a smile in my face!
Thank you Cica for another great installation and thank you Electric Monday for your initiave and for hosting “Donkeys by Cica Ghost“.
