Friday, July 9th, I got a private message from Akiko Kinoshi (Akiko Kiyori). She told me about “The Borderless Project” that she and others had put together. And she sent me a notecard about it together with a landmark.

“The Borderless Project is a multi-level, interactive digital art exhibition wherein we play with light: reflections, structures, movement, creation and evolution. With sounds and music to match the emotions brought to life by the multi-talented team of artists and scripters. The Borderless Project derives much of its inspiration from teamLAB founded in Japan in 2001 by Toshiyuki Inoko, and now a series of multinational installations throughout the world. For more on teamLab please visit: https://www.youtube.com/user/TEAMLABNET

The Borderless Project, in Second Life, explores what we can do within this world where gravity is unimportant, physics is negotiable, and magic is possible! The Borderless Team of Magicians are: Betty Tureaud, Gem Preiz, Delain Canucci, Djehuti-Anpu (Thoth Jantzen), Mitsuko Kytori, Blaise Timtam and Akiko Kinoshi (Akiko Kiyori).“

I went there on Saturday, July 10th, and I was overwhelmed by the many different installations. Each of them would easily be enough and worth an extra visit and a seperate blog entry!

The provided landmark leads you to the installation of Akiko Kinoshi (Akiko Kiyori). You land in a circle with 8 boards. Each of the 8 boards brings you to another level and another installation. It is recommended to accept experiences – then just walking into one of the boards will teleport you. In addition in some of the installations you get teleported at destinct spots. For all installations of “The Borderless Project” you are asked to use Shared Environment, Advanced lighting model, High to Ultra Graphics, particles set to maximum (8192) and to activate the Media button and switch it on and off frequently. Turn on in-sim music. If you aren’t familiar with that, there are instructions at the entrances of some of the installations.
At each installation you land in exact the same circle of boards, from there you can continue your visit to the next installation.

I split my report into several parts so that I can publish a bit more pictures and give the artists some room.

The Borderless Project – Part IV (final): Akiko Kinoshi’s garden and Japanese village / Mitsuko Kytori’s art park

Akiko Kinoshi (Akiko Kiyori) is in Second Life since 2017. I came across her as she provides space for the art, and quite a lot of space! Akiko is the owner of the ‘Akipelago’ chain of Sims: Akijima, Akiniwa, Akimori and Akimitsu, which hosts The Borderless Project. I have never seen anything from her before. But now I did.

The Borderless Project – Akiko Kinoshi (Akiko Kiyori)’s garden

There are 2 boards leading to installations of Akiko. The first one is the main landmark that I provided with the series of posts. It is a garden, a particular garden. What makes it particular is the light and some art objects. When you roam through the garden, the light is changing and dives it into different colours. The leaves begin to literally glow and you get quite outstanding views. Also the art objects do look different when coloured in a different way.

The Borderless Project – Akiko Kinoshi (Akiko Kiyori)’s garden

After parts 1 to 3 of this series had been published, Akiko sent me a message: “One thing I would mention about the gardens… we tried to replicate ‘Resonating Trees / Resonating Spheres – Forest of Tadasu at Shimogamo Shrine Light Festival August 2016’ in Second Life to the best of our ability“. Akiko added the link to a 2 minute youtube video about this Light Festival which I want to share here. It’s worth watching it – and it will make your visit in Second Life at the Borderless Project even more spectacular.

Furtheron Akiko gave me more background information:
“Mitsuko made the trees and Sculptures, I arranged them, then Gem and I did the lighting so it would seem to change as you walked… and in some places you trigger the lights by stepping on them.
I have been a fan of teamLab for many years, and I have seen their work in Japan in RL long before Covid which is absolutely amazing! And then one day, I wanted to bring something like that in here for everyone who was essentially stuck at home and had a lot of time on their hands. So it all kind of evolved here in SL, but only because of the team of artists and their interpretations, scripting, and the advent of EEP which we use extensively on the Beach level when you walk through zones, or take the raft trip, and then the skies change. Or they can change the Sky with the control panels… we try to make it fun. But I am no artist, I just rearrange the shrubberies and sweep up, the artists are the ones who deserve all the praise.“

The 2nd installation of Akiko is a Japanese village. I didn’t notice any light effects. I just roamed through the village and enjoyed the views. There is a walkway with arches of flowers and when you walk along you get teleported into an other Japanese area. I’ve never been to Japan or Asia in RL and hence I lack a bit understanding the culture. What I can say is that I like the background and I liked exploring the Japanese village.

Mitsuko Kytori’s installation at The Borderless Project is an island with some solitaire flowers and art objects. At the first glance not that spectacular, but on the 2nd glance it is. There is a desk with 3 boards where you can change the environment settings. You could do that anytime with your viewer, but Mitsuko specifically invites you to do it and I of course played around with the environment settings. And doing so I got some very nice pictures. It is amazing how the environment settings change the view. The title of her installation could be: Mitsuko Kytori’s environment.

Mitsuko Kytori is in Second life since 2009. She is the Hayabusa Design CEO. I have quite a lot of Hayabusa plants on our sim and hence Mitsuko is kind of a permanent guest at my home. I added the links that she provides in her profile to this post.

This post ends the little series about The Borderless Project. One name listed in the introduction is missing – Blaise Timtam. I asked Akiko Kinoshi and she explained it: “Blaise is the master scripter of all the Experiences: Teleports, EEP Environment Changes, raft, balloon tours etc etc.“

Thank you Akiko for your kind invitation to see The Borderless Project. It was an unexpected art simploring for me and that I spend way more time exploring it and writing about it might tell how overwhelmed I was seeing all the artful work. Thank you for your own installation and for providing the space for the art. I enjoyed my visit a lot and I hope that The Borderless Project attracts a lot of attention and visitors. It’s worth it!

Our sub Faye, collared July 26th, 2021

According to my notes I met Faye (Boy Serenity) at Carnal Intentions on August 8th, 2020, the first time. And if I remember it right, there was a bulge in her crotch – no surprise considering her user name Boy Serenity. Faye looked outstanding with her black hair pinned up and held by a pin, her Asian eyes, her shiny catsuit and her fur jacket. She’s quite easy to recognize with this appearance. You would think she’s from Asia. She isn’t, she’s Dutch.
Faye describes herself perfectly in her profile:
“I am a loving, tender person. I love to toy with restraints. You will find me dressed in leather, latex and fur. I am a caring submissive but do love to switch with the right partner.”
Over the next months Faye came closer to us. Faye is not a sissy boy, she’s female in her second life, but does not hide that a male is behind her avatar. Faye is not in Second Life for sex – that doesn’t mean that she’s asexual. She loves bondage and talking about bondage we began to toy with her, we talked about her toys when we saw her holding the leash. With time her trust grew and she added us to her gear so that we could play with her. We learned to cherish her tender ways and we enjoyed tying her up every once in a while.
Faye hasn’t be owned before and she wanted to stay independent and able to persue her domme side, and we didn’t push her. We talked with her about collaring her and giving her the leeway she needs. Mistress Jenny and I even discussed to define something like a “light” collar. But Faye shied back. She’s a very sensible person, she needs time. She was hot and cold but always returned to us.
In July 2021 she decided that she wanted to submit to us. She turned over control of her gear fully to us. We accepted it and took her to us whenever we met her, leashed her, and tied her up a bit more often. We talked .. Faye had come to terms submitting to us.
When Mistress Jenny and I met in the afternoon July 26th and were at club DeLust, Faye joined us while Mistress and I were talking. She stayed patiently next to us and jsut enjoyed being close. When we met again at night, Mistress asked me about collaring Faye. And spontaneously we collared her officially – no hot and cold anymore but ours, our sub Faye.
Welcome to the family, Faye

Diary 2021 (99) July 26th/27th Faye collared

Monday, July 26th, I was inworld in the morning for a bit. Mistress Jenny was with the new domme and Kitty was inworld. I talked in IM with Mistress and Kitty and I finally had the opportunity to see our Kitty shortly before she went off to bed (it was very late for her). The night before Mistress Jenny and I had spoken with slave Holly about Kitty. slave Holly told us that she talks with Kitty sometimes when she’s inworld to clean the house. She was worried that Mistress Jenny’s mailbox could spill over with all the complaints about Kitty. Actually Mistress (nor I) got any complaints recently, but it’s true that Kitty 2nd forename could be “Trouble”. And now, Kitty really isn’t Kitty Maurer anymore, she’s Kitty T. Maurer – funny.

I met with Mistress Jenny in the afternoon again and we went to club Domme a Domme to catch up with our mutual news. Faye (Boy Serenity) was there and we summoned her to us. She was wearing a new Gwen-hood. Mistress Jenny, Faye and I looked very nice sitting on the lounger at club DeLust with Mistress Jenny in the middle of us. I took some nice pictures and we even got remarks in IM about us. Later I restricted Faye a little bit to make us of her hood.
Mistress Jenny had come to terms that the new domme won’t fit for a vacation for us, because she wanted too much too quickly. And when Mistress asked me which collar I wanted to wear, I asked her to fit the slave collar on my neck again. For me, the red light wasn’t finished properly yet. It just felt right to ask her for it.
When we returned home Mistress fitted the slave collar again before we both had to leave to tend to our RL.

Our night began quietly as none of the family was present. We went to club Domme a Domme and to Carnal Intentions. When slave Holly came inworld we returned home and played a skipee with her. It was a nice and close game and was fun. We chated while we played and Faye (Boy Serenity) joined us and wathced us playing while she added our script to her RR gear.
After the game we went back to Carnal Intentions. Mistress Jenny asked me if I thought Faye would be ready for being collared. Actually she had told Mistress and me that she was ready a few days before. I think Mistress and I have never disagreed in any family decisions, and I agreed on collaring Faye. Spontaneously Mistress Jenny decided to do that right away. Hence we went to Sensations and Faye had to select a collar. Back home we collared Faye. She’s ours now. Welcome to the family, Faye. I will write more about Faye soon.

Tuesday, July 27th, I met with Mistress Jenny in the afternoon. Our home was offline and I had some issues getting inworld. Mistress told me she had problems as well. Mistress Jenny was at Carnal Intentions and we stayed there. Lucy (misslucywales) came by and later also Faye. We just caught up with our news, we talked with our newly collared Faye, and Mistress finally found a nice and comfy seat (Lucy)

When we came inworld at night our home sim was still offline and we filed a ticked, then we stayed at club Domme a Domme to catch up, later at Puerto Esclava. Faye joined us there. Finally our home sim was available agin. We returned home and spent a relaxed hout at our decking with Faye and slave Holly. slave Holly had her first ride on Bronce and good just finish her ride and the fire brigade arriving when our sim was restarted once again *sighs*.

We moved to Psi’s realm and I tied up slave Holly and Faye a bit for while we stayed there. As Mistress Jenny had an early start the next day, we returned home at flotime and called it a night. We had a nice relaxed nicht after the collaring of Faye.

The Borderless Project – Part III: Betty Tureaud’s cubes and Djehuti-Anpu’s installation

Betty Tureaud is from Denmark, she’s a builder and light and space artist in Second Life. I came across her art already a few times and it was always impressing and something outstanding.
At The Borderless Project she showcases a set of silver cubes. All sides of the cubes are structured, form a relief – and they look different, depending on where you stand, at which angle you look at them. And the environment also changes it colours. This can be experienced in particular when you stand in the center, in the circle of stones.

The Borderless Project – Betty Tureaud’s cubes

Each cube has to offer something else. The cubes have something inside. The best way to see that is by getting the teleport HUD with which you can jump from box to box and see the inside. There are: Bells, Street, Cubes, Cells, Kabuki, Balls, Butterflyes and Waves.

The Borderless Project – Betty Tureaud’s cubes: Kabuki (upper left), Butterflyes (upper right), Balls (lower left), Waves (lower right)

Betty has an own gallery, the Gallery AI.

“doyouSL builder/artist Thoth Jantzen (aka “TJ”, “Djehuti-Anpu”) specializes in creating massively immersive multi-media environments and sculptures.  Using video as “paint”, he creates builds with structures that allow the media to “paint” itself on them in interesting, often beautiful ways, with changing patterns emerging as a result as the video plays out over time. His work’s been displayed at numerous SL events and galleries, and some in RL as well.” (taken from an older notecard about Djehuti-Anpu)

The Borderless Project – Djehuti-Anpu (Thoth Jantzen)’s installation

At The Borderless Project Thoth showcases some geometric forms and some colourful spaces into which you can immerse yourself. I did not notice that you can go into some of the forms first, yet it is fun and provides spectacular views. As opposed to the big box with the stairs invites you to go inside. And once in at least I had my difficulties to get out again *winks*. Again the permanent changing textures and objects are very artful and intriguing.

Thoth is on Second life since 2006 and has had some impressive builds and exhibits. I covered Thoth in this blog already a few times. Look up the profile of Thoth so see some of his artwork.

Saturday, July 24th, I met with Mistress Jenny in the afternoon. we wuickly caught up with our news, then Mistress took me to Puerto Esclava, Heavy Bondage Club and finally to club Domme a Domme. We chatted and I enjoyed my place at Mistress Jenny’s feet.

July 24th: Mistress Jenny and Ehesklavin Diomita at Puerto esclava, Heavy Bondage Club and club Domme a Domme

At club Domme a Domme, Mistress leashed me at the failed Domme sign and stepped away. What a subtly way to humiate me and to demonstrate her power, standing a fwe meters away from me. Sapphire (jd6109) who had attended our party the night before came by and Mistress talked with her, then leashed her. Then mistress returned to me, gagged and blindfolded me and left. I couldn’t see anything but myself anymore, immersed in darkness around me.
Later Mistress loosened the blindfold a bit and came closer so that I could see her and Sapphire. Sapphire added Mistress and me to her open collar, so that Mistress and I might be able to play with her. Then Mistress returned home and summoned me to her.

July 24th: Mistress Jenny and Ehesklavin Diomita at club Domme a Domme with Sapphire (jd6109)

Mistress removed my gag, stripped and went to her chair to get licked by me. I greedily began to lick her, as my last fix had been almost a week ago. And while my world narrowed to licking her, Mistress added a new rule for me. And of course, focused on licking her and getting my fix, I failed immediately and made two mistakes.

July 24th: Mistress Jenny and Ehesklavin Diomita at club Domme a Domme with Sapphire (jd6109) and at home

Our night was extraordinairy quiet with slave Holly being absent, Flo recovering and Angelique offline. We had an extended tour over our usual places. We read profiles and tried to initiate any main chat, we chatted amoung us, talked about outfit, and Mistress teased me with the new rule she gave me. I managed not to fail again. It was close to our bedtime when Faye (Boy Serenity) and Baroness Capelo joined us at club DeLust.
It nice to have not a lot going on, sometimes it is also nice to have a more quiet night.

July 24th: Mistress Jenny and Ehesklavin Diomita at Carnal Intentions, Heavy Bondage Club, club Domme a Domme and at Club DeLust with Faye and BC

Sunday, July 25th, was different and surprising for me. When I came inworld in the later morning Mistress Jenny was online. She was together with another domme who might be an opportunity for her to get her time-out, something she seeks for herself (and me) for many years. We talked about it and Mistress shared with me what had happened. Then she had to log off and I went off myself.
We met again in the afternoon and continued talking. Later we met this domme. We will have to see what will develop from it, if anything at all. In the light of this Mistress exchanged my slave collar with the sub collar and thus ended the ongoing red light.
Hence there’re not many pictures for the blog – just Mistress Jenny and me a club Domme a Domme and at Psi’s realm where we stood while talking.

July 25th: Mistress Jenny and Diomita at club Domme a Domme and at Psi’s realm

We had a nice Sunday night. When slave Holly came inworld we first played a skipee, then we took her to Psi’s realm. I asked Mistress what to write on Holly’s nipple board and she desired “free beer for spanks”. The other guests at Psi’s all must have been AA members as none too a beer or spanked Holly. Nonetheless we had fun trying to liven up the place. We moved on to Carnal Intentions but it was similar there. Even changing the board to “free spanks for beer” or shorter “spanks for beer” did not animate anybody.

Finally I changed the sign to “moans when spanked” and Mistress and I did make slave Holly moan. Faye (Boy Serenity) joined us during our last half hour at Carnal before we went off to bed.

The Borderless Project – Part II: Gem Preiz’ installations

It’s been a while that I saw an exhibtion or isntallation of Gem Preiz. His art is always intriguing. He plays with geometric forms, fractals, with light and illusions. At The Borderless Project there’re two boards leading to installations of Gem Preiz. The first one which I visited features two big event rooms. The rooms have particular textures that were taken from the teamLAB. The rooms are enlarge using the mirror effect that I could already admire before at Delain Canucci’s installation (read here). It seems to be a common tool. Outside of the rooms Gem has placed some geometric growing and decreasing forms. It is fun to watch and to take pictures.

The Borderless Project – Gem Preiz’ teamLAB event rooms

The other board leads to a larger installation. Gem has built kind of a futuristic court, in different colours, with different geometric objects. It looks quite “Gem-ish” *winks*.

The Borderless Project – Gem Preiz’ futuristic court

There’s an elevated walkway around the court and from there you can enter different rooms. Each room has a theme: Petals, Souls, Clock, Blades, Stone, Stream, Jungle, Marbles, Dream, Beads and Lumen. And each room is impressive. Again the rooms look way larger using the mirror technique. In some rooms you can even change the textures yourself from a control desk. The rooms are great backgrounds, or ideas of what you can create yourself, what is possible. Looking at my pictures – they are kind of art as well *winks*

Gem Preiz “is educated in science and mathematics and is fond of anything related to Nature, Cosmos and Earth, from astronomy to geology. The world of fractals is, in the same way, ruled by Mathematics functions which, as Physics do in Nature, enable to create objects which features repeat themselves at every scale. There lies his passion for fractals: create thanks to the power and pureness of the Mathematical concept, images the complexity of which can suggest Nature beings, objects or sceneries.” (taken from an older notecard about Gem).

Gem has an own gallery, the Gem Preiz Fractal Art Gallery.

Diary 2021 (97) July 22nd/23rd Mistress Jenny on vacation (III)

Thursday, July 22nd, I was inworld in the afternoon and went on a simploring tour. During my tour, Faye (Boy Serenity) IMd me and I met her later at club DeLust where we talked until I had to leave to tend to my RL.

July 22nd: Diomita at club DeLust with Faye and at club Domme a Domme

At night I first roamed through the clubs. When slave Holly came inworld, I returned home and played a skipee with her. Then I took her to Puerto Esclava and I spanked her hard there, just because I can. And slave Holly did hold up well and made me proud.

July 22nd: Diomita and slave Holly at Puerto Esclava / at Carnal Intentions with slave Holly and Faye

We left after about 45 minutes and went to Carnal Intentions where Faye (Boy Serenity) joined us. It looks like if I was in such a mood, I tied up Faye completely as well *winks*. After Faye had left for bed I returned home with slave Holly and rewarded her by allowing her to lick me to a nice orgasm. And that’s it about Thursday.

Friday, July 23rd, I was inworld erratically during the day, met slave Holly shortly in the morning and talked with Kitty. Kitty had some problems with her vixen cuffs. She got stripped by a script, which can be really bad these days. She lost her collar and a lot of other attachments and had to set up her avatar from the scratch.
When I logged on later in the afternoon, Mistress Jenny was back from her vacation. It’s great having her back with me. We went to club DeLust to catch up with our mutual news. And later we went to Puerto Esclava. Mistress made me kiss another domme’s feet. I knew her but wasn’t prepared for that. And it developed a scene from it which might continue.

July 23rd: Mistress Jenny and Diomita at club DeLust and at Puerto Esclava

Mistress Jenny and I also talked about a theme for our Friday night party and Mistress had a nice proposal: “Mistress Jenny had a week of sun and wants to see who stayed in the shade or not. Wear something that resembles the colour of your skin or just come as you are. DJ Virgo is spinning the tunes for us.”

I got an email from our Flo. She’s doing well but needs a bit more time to recover. She sent her hello and wished a nice party. And of course we had a nice party as every Friday and started dancing into the weekend.

July 23rd – Friday night party: Mistress Jenny, Diomita, Elena (Elenaslv Serenity, Ebony Massey, Faye (Boy Serenity, Baroness Capelo, Nessa (NessSub), Sapphire (jd109) (upper row), Della randt, Starbright Wingtips, Firefly Dakota, Spots Littlepaws, Claire (maddh4tt3r), Virgo Babii, Virgo Babii (lower row) (lower row)

And as you can Virgo managed to get enough tips to strip *winks*

Art in Second Life 2021 (70) The Borderless Project – Part I: Delain Canucci’s scenes

Friday, July 9th, I got a private message from Akiko Kinoshi (Akiko Kiyori). She told me about “The Borderless Project” that she and others had put together. And she sent me a notecard about it together with a landmark.

“The Borderless Project is a multi-level, interactive digital art exhibition wherein we play with light: reflections, structures, movement, creation and evolution. With sounds and music to match the emotions brought to life by the multi-talented team of artists and scripters. The Borderless Project derives much of its inspiration from teamLAB founded in Japan in 2001 by Toshiyuki Inoko, and now a series of multinational installations throughout the world. For more on teamLab please visit: https://www.youtube.com/user/TEAMLABNET

The Borderless Project, in Second Life, explores what we can do within this world where gravity is unimportant, physics is negotiable, and magic is possible! The Borderless Team of Magicians are: Betty Tureaud, Gem Preiz, Delain Canucci, Djehuti-Anpu (Thoth Jantzen), Mitsuko Kytori, Blaise Timtam and Akiko Kinoshi (Akiko Kiyori).“

I went there on Saturday, July 10th, and I was overwhelmed by the many different installations. Each of them would easily be enough and worth an extra visit and a seperate blog entry!

The provided landmark leads you to the installation of Akiko Kinoshi (Akiko Kiyori). You land in a circle with 8 boards. Each of the 8 boards brings you to another level and another installation. It is recommended to accept experiences – then just walking into one of the boards will teleport you. In addition in some of the installations you get teleported at destinct spots. For all installations of “The Borderless Project” you are asked to use Shared Environment, Advanced lighting model, High to Ultra Graphics, particles set to maximum (8192) and to activate the Media button and switch it on and off frequently. Turn on in-sim music. If you aren’t familiar with that, there are instructions at the entrances of some of the installations.
At each installation you land in exact the same circle of boards, from there you can continue your visit to the next installation.

I split my report into several parts so that I can publish a bit more pictures and give the artists some room.

The Borderless Project – Part I: Delain Canucci’s scenes

Delain Canucci’s scenes are in several separate rooms. You can see 4 boxes from where you land and several entrances, marked with light frames along the walls.

The Borderless Project – Delain Canucci

I started my visit with the 4 boxes. And each of them has a lot to offer. The boxes are kind of magic. When you enter them you lose contact to the outside. The inside is mirrored and provides the impression of being in a much larger space. It’s perfect for taking pictures. And the content is quite creative. The longer you stay inside, the more details you will discover. And the scenes are not static, hence stay a bit and watch. There’s one box with a green jungle scene, one with an Asian gate, one with a forest scene in Autumn and one winterly scene.

The Borderless Project – Delain Canucci’s boxes: Winterly scene / Forest in Autumn

The installations that you enter from the walls are different, some are bigger boxes, some are spheres. All have in common that you can fully immerse into them. One is a planetarium, some others are like forests – all are very creative, artful and invite to stay longer and take more and more pictures.

The Borderless Project – Delain Canucci’s planetarium

Delain Canucci is in Second Life since 2009. She says about herself, that she’s just herself in SL, an average girl who wants to have fun with her friends, who wants to learn and who lives out her creativity. Delain has an inworld shop for particles “Color Alchemists” and an inworld store for fantasy builds “Fantasy Builds & Plants” . You can also get her stuff on the marketplace.
And if you look up her profile you will find a pick with links to youtube videos using her particles from “Color Alchemists“.

The Borderless Project – Delain Canucci’s Flower Room and Morpho Room

It’s the first time I came across Delain Canucci and I have to admit I am impressed of her art work. Did I mention that all boxes and installations of Delain Canucci are non-static? Everything moves, colours changes, the whole scenes look different every second. Even my pictures are little of temporary art pieces, non-reproducible.

Returning to the ring of boards I went to a cave scene next. This one is also from Delain Canucci. It is a smaller installation.

The cave is particular as it permanently changes its main colour, diving the scenery in different colours. Sometimes you have the impression to see people in the cave, but the people are just rocks. Again an artful fantasy build.

Diary 2021 (96) July 20th/21st Mistress Jenny on vacation (II)

I had a busier day on Tuesday, July 20th, and were only inworld shortly in the earlier morning and a few minutes in the afternoon. Of course nothing happened, I just hopped through the clubs and then off again.
My night began just alike as none of the family was present and slave Holly had already told me she would run late. Hence I hopped through the clubs, stayed a bit longer at Puerto Exclava and watch people coming and going. In the end I returned home and played cards along until slave Holly showed up inworld. I took her to Lochme to get her some nipples rings with the functionality of adding a board to them. Unfortunately the shop had gone and I had to get the nipple rings at the marketplace. slave Holly had to wear them right away.

July 20th: Diomita at Puerto Esclava / Diomita at Carnal Intentions with slave Holly and Faye

I took slave Holly to Carnal Intentions where we spent the rest of the night. Faye joined us there and I had an long IM with another domme there. Time flew by quickly. slave Holly provided some pictures to me – also from her time up at the flagpole two days before and I added them here. we left the club at midnight – and as I had to pee, I used my toilet before I called it a night.

Wednesday, July 21st, I was inworld in the earlier morning. After a quick sim hop I went seeing a gallery and was talking with Kitty in IM while I visited the gallery. Kitty is doing fine. After lunch I was inworld again while writing my gallery report. And in the afternoon, I went inworld erratically while doing other things in RL. Overall I had a relaxed day in both worlds.

At night I was alone at first again. I hopped over our usual sims, then I saw an new outfit and went shopping impromptu and fitted my new dress. It is a boday with garters, boots and bolero. I think a nice mixture between a domme and a submissive outfit.
When slave Holly came inworld I took her to Lochme first for a change.
We went to Carnal Intentions afterwards again. I had some chats at Carnal and time went by quickly. And I teased slave Holly of course, encouraging others to spank her.

It became a busy and playful night for me with slave Holly and Faye (Boy Serenity), who joined us later. I also chatted a lot with Dana (Dana Darwatch) and in the end she also knelt by me. Chatting and playing a bit with spanks, nipple clamps, and emotes kept me busy and was fun. At midnight I left the club and took slave Holly home and used her properly as my toilet before I went off to bed.

Art in Second Life 2021 (69) Asperix Asp’s gallery “Render4”

After my last visit to Lad Maison d’Aneli (read here), I had a short conversation with Asperix Asp, one of the participating artists. Asperix asked me to add a link to his own gallery, Render 4. Of course I added it to the links sections in the post.

Sunday, June 27th, I had some time left over and went visiting Render4.

Asperix Asp’s gallery “Render4”

The gallery building is dominated by a large tower. The 4 facade sides are used to showcase 4 of Asperix’ pictures. The tower is not accessible though, it’s just a landmark for the gallery.

The gallery itself consists of 3 rooms. The room where you arrive features some of the pictures that I saw already at La Maison d’Aneli, fractals that could be minerals or scifi structures or whatever. I’m always intrigued by fractals.

Impressions of Asperix Asp artwork shown at “Render4” (1)

One room showcases four 3D models in the center of the room. I can’t describe the models, so far I’d characterize them as art objects – whatever the spectator might see in them. At the walls of that room are more of Asperix’ fractals.

The third room features one big picture, held in green, different from the other pictures. It could be algae and an unknown crustacean, who knows. In this room you also find 3 slowly rotating spheres in different colours. The spheres are partly transparent and textured so that they look different depending on the viewing angel and rotation.

Asperix Asp is in Second Life since 2007. He’s a Spanish senior artist with 35+ years of experience in digital image, infography, rendered tridimensional fractals, virtual entorns… and had many exhibitions in RL and SL.
In his gallery “Render4” Asperix provides a deeper and broader insight in his artwork.
