Simploring 2020 (53) Edge

For my simploring tour Sunday, July 19th, I picked “Edge” from scoop.it SL Destinations. The entry led to a post from Maddy Gynoid “Simtipp: EDGE” (in German).

Edge is an adult full region. The owning landgroup is founded by EdgeResident (an alt or an avatar created just for this reason?). Edge is designed by Lady Bug (liloneladybug). In the landgroup I found three owners: EdgeResident, Cookie Bug Clut (juniperdreamer) and Katie Bug (Katiebug Wumpkins).
The landmark description consists of a list of tags: “Adult voice hang out- Live Singers, Karaoke, Dj’s, events, Photos, Bloggers, Games, Discussions, Nudity, Clubs, Harbor, contests, Storytime, Stories, Live Readings, Sex, strippers, Secrets, Swinger, Movies. Come Get away at the edge with so much to offer“

Remark: Lady Bug (liloneladybug) told me later that my assumption was correct: “Cookie (juniperdreamer), Katie Bug (Katiebug Wumpkins) and I are the owners. I am the sim designer as well. We created EDGE resident together for the sim management as it is easier to run that way.”

The landing at Edge is between a large greenhouse and a small gazebo on a large rock with several waterfalls. The greenhouse is used as a large event hall. Right at the landing you find a list of upcoming events, the invitation to a photo contest and a teleporter sign post to 10 locations: Edge Venue (the greenhouse), The Harbour, Town Centre, Games, Pebble Beach, Smoke Lounge, Storytime, Tea House, Stables and Nude Beach. I decided to simplore on foot though.

Impressions of Edge (1) other overview perspectives (left pictures) / at the landing point (Edge Venue)

Although Edge is an adult sim, you do not necessarily notice it (if at all). Edge is a lovely designed sim, offering countless places to hide away, to cuddle or to simply enjoy. You do notice though, that it was built as a community home. I started my visit at the harbour, which is really picturesque. I was more or less alone during my visit, only once there were 3 other people. Nonetheless the sim has a problem, I suspect due to high script load. My frame rate never reached 40 fps and was often below 10 fps and I didn’t use shadows. That’s a pity as you could make better and great pictures of Edge with using another windlight settings and shadows. The textures loaded very slow and it wasn’t easy to get pictures without blurry areas. Maddy had the same problems using another viewer (I use firestorm).

Impressions of Edge (2) Edge Venue / The Harbour

Close to the harbour is the Smoke Lounge and a club called “The Garage”. This club has an adult atmosphere but is stylish in it’s own way. The lounge is furnished nicely and I could imagine to sit there after a party or during a break.

I continued my simploring tour and came to another meeting area with a café and several market stands. This place is called “Town Centre”, next to it is a very large games area and below of it is the “Nude Beach”.

Impressions of Edge (4) The Harbour (upper left), Town Centre (lower left), Games (upper right), Nude Beach (lower right)

A place without a seperate teleport spot is next to the bigger lighthouse, quite cosy and away from the rest of the sim. I didn’t swim over to the large lighthouse, therefore I can’t tell if there’s anything to see. Did I mention that all houses at Edge are furnished? Have a look inside! I went to “Pebble Beach” another nice spot, I visited “Tea House” and “Stables” and I went to the “Storytime” sky platform, which is obviously used for story telling events.

Edge is a nice adult place that offers a lot of nice and cosy spots as well as larger areas to meet, dance, discuss or listen to stories. I liked the sim design and I hope that the performance issues can be resolved quickly (most probably it is just one or a few items that cause the lag). Thank you Lady Bug (liloneladybug), Cookie Bug Clut (juniperdreamer) and Katie Bug (Katiebug Wumpkins) for providing your place to the public. And thank you Lady Bug for the design. I enjoyed my visit.

Diary 2020 (108) July 28th In a deep red light

Tuesday, July 28th, I had a particulary intense time in the afternoon with Mistress Jenny. We first went to Heavy Bondage Club where we caught up with our mutual news while watching people and reading profiles. I had announced a surprise for Mistress and she wanted to see it when we had seen all people who could attract our curiosity. A surprise? I had seen a new device called wall art at one of our favourite shops. It was a special peice of art as it contained animations for foot worshiping, trampling and servicing. I had shortly tried it out and trusted that Mistress would like it.

We went to our loft skybox where I had installed the wall art. What shall I say? Mistress liked it, much more than I had expected as it set free a huge dominant wave. Mistress tried out the foot worshiping and the trampling. She had me wear a full set of elegance cuffs, she restricted me and she simply enjoyed her limitless power and control.

July 28th: Mistress Jenny and Ehesklavin Diomita at Heavy Bondage club and at our loft skybox

Still excited she took me to club Domme a Domme and leashed me in a kneeling position, helplessly locked up. She had a few conversations, then she took out all of her spanking and whipping equipment and tested them. She ended with “I need something better and better animated”. I was shocked and surprised as Mistress wasn’t into spanking and whipping at all … so far.

July 28th: Mistress Jenny and Ehesklavin Diomita at club Domme a Domme

Then we went back to the loft skybox. Mistress wasn’t done yet with testing the wall art device. And she was not done yet with her slave wife. Mistress stripped and then she tested all poses while I licked her eagerly and that must have added up to her excitement of being in full control as Mistress had two intense orgasms. Thank you Mistress Jenny.

July 28th: Mistress Jenny taking full advantage of her Ehesklavin Diomita at our loft skybox

Mistress announced that she will take good advantage of the new device and that I shall be prepared to serve her properly – then she left me locked and helplessly at the loft skybox when we both had to log off for dinner.

When we returned at night, Angelique and slave Flo were present and we decided to play a skipee as teams. It became a close game, which is always way more fun. Close to the end of the game slave Melissa and slave Gwendie came inworld and I began put slave Melissa into something stricter. When we had finished the game, slave Melissa was already wearing a KaS hood. I finished with slave Melissa adding a catsuit and a corset and locking all tight. I like to play with the viewing restrictions of the KaS hood, it makes the slaves suffer for me and us.

July 28th: Mistress Jenny and Diomita with slave Flo, slave Gwendi and slave Melissa at Mesmerize Dungeon and at Puerto Esclava

Angelique left for bed and Mistress and I took the slaves to Mesmerize Dungeon. It was full there again and some mainchat was going on. I prepared slave Flo and slave gwendi that they will be the next to change – anticipation is half of the fun, isn’t it? When the slaves were gone, Mistress took me to Puerto Esclava for a bit and allowed me to stand next to her and to relax. What a day again!

Art in Second Life 2020 (49) Monsters by Cica Ghost

08 Aug 2020 1 Comment

by diomitamaurer in Art in Second Life Tags: , ,

When I returned from my short off time, I found an invitation from Cica Chost in my messages. She had opened a new installation called “Monsters by Cica Ghost” on Friday August 7th.

I went there Saturday late afternoon and met Cica at the landing point next to one of her monsters. As monsters should be, they are all very tall. And in Second Life they are very real, hence the sentence that Cica is giving us on our way exploring: “Monsters are real, ghosts are real too.”
You are asked to use the regional windlight (I did) and to switch on advanced lighting with activated shadows from sun/moon and projectors (I did as well).

Impressions of Monsters by Cica Ghost (1)

The monsters are not only really tall, they are ugly on a first view and I didn’t find any two which look alike. I didn’t count them but there must be more than 20 different monsters at least. Some look like dinosaurs, others have their eyes in their tentacles, some have 4 arms and 2 legs, others only legs, some look like octopussies, some have big noses, others a more or less a square face…. What they have in common are the Cica-ish big eyes that roll and seem to watch you. After a while they become your friend and at least I found all of them being nice and peaceful.

Impressions of Monsters by Cica Ghost (2)

Did I mention that they all are very tall? I think I did. If you take a closer look at the pictures that I took you might see me.. I’m the small one at the feet of the monsters *winks*. There are several buildings, or should I say open rooms. They are all built on poles and ladders or ramps lead up to them. In the rooms / or platforms you find scenes. The monsters live in these rooms. One sits on the edge and is fishing, others just look around, and a few listen to a girl that reads in a book. The girl is also very tall.

Impressions of Monsters by Cica Ghost (3)

And what about the cat? I didn’t find it at first and asked Cica if there’s a cat and she confirmed there is a cat and that it is hiding. I won’t reveal where it is but I took a picture and you should easily find it. I didn’t find any Cica-mobil this time, nor any Cica-aircraft, nor did I find any monster where I could sit on (or dance on it’s head). But there are several opportunities to sit and watch, be it a bench close to a monster or a chair in the “rooms”.

Impressions of Monsters by Cica Ghost (4)

Again you can purchase the monsters. There is a big monster shop with all the different types. The ones I looked at cost 350 L and use up 5 prims (at a size of about twice of my own size).
I had fun visiting as always. And as always Cica’s beings made me smile, allowed me an escape from reality into pure fantasy. Thank you Cica!

Impressions of Monsters by Cica Ghost (5)

We never know how long Cica keeps her installations open. It might be 2 weeks .. or 4 .. or longer. You should have a look if you’re up to seeing some monsters.

Art in Second Life 2020 (48) Ambre Singh Gallery

08 Aug 2020 Leave a comment

by diomitamaurer in Art in Second Life Tags: , , , , ,

I got a private message in Second Life from a reader after publishing my posts about “Bouquets and Flowers” by Colm Midnight at Noir’Wen City Gallery, ars amandi art gallery and Noir’Wen City itself. The reader recommended to visit Ambre Singh Gallery. Ambre Singh is a member of the Noir’Wen City team – and as I learned she has her own fan club. The above mentioned reader is a moderator in this fan club.

I went visiting Ambre Singh Gallery on Wednesday, July 1st, and I did not regret it.

Ambre Singh Gallery – Ground floor with current works

Ambre Singh is in Second Life for over 13 years. She writes about herself:
“‘It is your mind that creates this world’, said Buddha.
All you do in SL will subtlely change you and others in all worlds. So in my life and art, I thrive to add my spice, beauty and love.
I photograph people of character in beautiful places of SL or in studio. Sometimes, I create thematic images in SL, or I mix worlds… If the harvest is good, I make an exhibition.
Colorful or discrete, tender or erotic, my photos try to express the life and the soul of the people and places.“

The Ambre Singh Gallery consists of several parts, a main floor with her current works, a second floor with her views on classical art and religion, a third floor with art from other artists, and a seperate room, where you can rezz other themed pictures or installations from Ambre Singh. There should be also an extra room with a permanent exhibition “Rumi in 100 illustrations”, dedicated to the “great mystic Rumi (I have no idea who that is, maybe the Persian poet who lived in the 13th century?). I didn’t find this room, it might have been temporarily closed when I visited Ambre Singh Gallery.

I first visited the main floor. The pictures there are mostly from the last 2 years and show quite a variety some are quite erotic, others show Ambre’s sense of humour.
I spent most of my time at Ambre Singh Gallery at the room where you can rezz different themed pictures or installations. Four rooms contain portraits, which seems to be one of Ambre’s passions.

Ambre Singh Gallery – Portraits

I saw illustrated quotes, a picture story named “The Tennis Match” and an installation named “The Heat Wave” where I could place myself in – coincidentally I was dressed perfect for it in my opinion *winks*

Ambre Singh Gallery – illustrated quotes, “The Tennis Match”, “The Heat Wave”

I furtheron saw the installation named “Nun of your Business”, which I really liked – funny and erotic.

Ambre Singh Gallery – “Nun of your business”

I also saw portraits and pictures of Amber herself – taken by other photographers. Ambre likes to be a model herself. To be honest, I like doing that also quite obviously.

Ambre Singh Gallery – “Ambre seen by other photographers”

There are more installations but I didn’t see them (yet!):
Jade Termple, The Lustiver Travels, The Art of Bliss, Bad crash on alien world, The chocorgy Room, 7 Deadly Sins, Anachronisms – Ambre’s early SL works, Movie posters pastiched by Ambre, Musical Quiz, What Tits this? An ode to breasts

I finished my first visit to Ambre Singh Gallery with the second floor, that shows her views on classical art and religion. When you look at these pictures from far away, you seem to be in a museum for classic art – if you take a closer look, then you see either manipulated classic pictures like the renowned Mona Lisa or you see pictures taken within Second Life, but looking like classic art or a mixture of these two. You shouldn’t miss a look at the second floor!

Ambre Singh Gallery – second floor “Classical art & religion”

Ambre Singh runs her own website with a lot more information. And she also has a flickr account.

Thank you Ambre for your work. I’m glad that I got the hint from your fan club. I enjoyed my visit!

Diary 2020 (107) July 26th/27th Varied Days

07 Aug 2020 Leave a comment

by diomitamaurer in Diary Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Sunday, July 26th, I went on a simploring tour in the later morning. Mistress had me restricted wearing just a dress, no shoes nor pantyhose. At the sim that I selected you walk through water and thus it was not bad to be on bare feet.
I met with Mistress Jenny in the afternoon and I immediately felt her domme mood. She allowed me wearing boots but I had to add a ringag. She leashed me and took me to club Domme a Domme for a bit where we caught up with our news. Then Mistress took me to the dugeon of Mature dommes and fixed me at an old pipe. She had her way with me, teased me, enjoyed my helplessness and made me cum easily. I knew, that was not all.

July 26th: Mistress Jenny and Ehesklavin at club Domme a Domme and at Mature Dommes

Mistress took out her big strapon and used me with it from behind. There was not much I could do but to submit to her and of course I couldn’t resist and had another hard orgasm. Mistress was excited. She removed the strapon and took me to a chair where I had to lick her. That was not that easy with my ringgag but Mistress was already quite excited and squirted her juices into my mouth. Thank you, Mistress Jenny. I felt used but at the same time I felt loved. I am so eager to please her.
Mistress took me to Heavy Bondage Club for a bit. Before she had to leave to tend to her RL, Mistress took me to our loft skybox and locked and leashed her property there.

July 26th: Mistress Jenny and Ehesklavin at Mature Dommes and at Heavy Bondage Club

Sunday night was relaxed. When I came inworld, Mistress Jenny was already online and she came soon to me and unlocked and unleashed me. We met with Angelique, slave Flo, and slave Melissa at home. Angelique had taken slave Flo to a shop with a lot of high quality dresses and outfits, available just for a group membership and now that slave Flo gets more familiar with the Maitreya body she also has a lot more clothes.
I disappointed slave Flo and made her wear her harness again, she had had enough days of part freedom. We went playing a greedy and weh had just started when slave Gwendi joined in. She also had enjoyed her part freedom and was wearing a black blouse and black shorts and boots. After the greedy, Mistress admonished me that slave Gwendi wore boots … before I made her wear her harness again. Mistress doesn’t like the slaves wearing shoes… and if then ballet boots.

July 26th: Mistress Jenny and Diomita at home and at Mesmerize Dungeon with Angelique, slave Flo, slave Gwendi, slave Melissa and slave Zephany

We went to Mesmerize Dungeon and spent an hour there, chatting mostly amoung us and about the days, Mistress and I weren’t inworld. We had fun. slave Zephaney joined us shortly. Again, you need to make the fun yourself. At flotime we retreated home and Mistress Jenny and I also went to bed.

Monday afternoon, July 27th, started differently. Mistress Jenny made me wear cuffs and then summoned me to a sim I never visted before: “Caged Castle“, a lesbian BDSM Club for women into bondage, discipline and D/s. Mistress went to the roof of the castle where we first flew a round on a dragon. You could use them to battle but we just flew a round and landed again. Mistress went into the cellar dungeon with me and locked me on a cross – and had her way with me. She stripped and I had to lick her .. and I enjoyed getting my fix.

July 26th: Mistress Jenny and Ehesklavin at Caged Castle (1)

July 26th: Mistress Jenny and Ehesklavin at Caged Castle (2)

Mistress released me from the cross and went to a frame next to the cross. She requested that I take over the menu – and I did. How could I resist. I locked her in the frame and began to tease her. Of course, Mistress Jenny was still wet and when she took on her cuffs I did not hesitate and locked them although it was against the rules Mistress had set for me. But in this situation …. I fucked her and we both enjoyed it. My punishment for violating the rules was comparably mild, just two smacks on my bum. Thank you, Mistress!

July 26th: Mistress Jenny and Ehesklavin at Caged Castle (3) and at Heavy Bondage Club

We went to the store which sells the BDSM furniture we had used at Caged Castle and had a look around, then we went to Heavy Bondage Club and later to the Lesbian Society to wind down. Our afternoon time went by quickly.

At night Mistress Jenny, Angelique and I went to Mesmerize Dungeon. It was full and we thought promising because of it. We had just arrived as slave FLo, slave Gwendi and slave Melissa came inworld almost simultaneously and we summoned them to us. The crowd was quiet though and I tried to liven it up – with success.
I said that Sidonia (Luzie Nymphea) would have a prefect crowd for a product presentation. Well, she was not present but Donja (DarkDonja) took the bait and presented a product from her — an “Anti chastity belt”. We had fun watching her volunteer Katya Ryada wearing the anti chastity belt. It is a belt with two inbuild dildos and a spanker. Every item is resizeable and can be changed in colour. We had a lot of banter, that was the niggest fun.

July 26th: Mistress Jenny. Diomita and Angelique with slave Flo, slave Gwendi and slave Melissa at Mesmerize Dungeon watching Donja / Mistress Jenny and Diomita at Puerto Esclava

We returned home after an hour and had a greedy with the slaves and after the slaves were off to bed Mistress and I spent a few minutes at Puerto Esclava before we called it a night too.

Simploring 2020 (52) Voodoo Land

06 Aug 2020 2 Comments

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

For my simploring tour on Friday, July 17th, I picked “Voodoo Land” from scoop.it SL Destinations. The entry led to a post from Maddy Gynoid “Simtipp: Voodoo Land – (Juli 2020)” (post is in German, Maddy took some great pictures too)

Voodoo Land is a moderate full region owned by Sofie Janic and Monkey Wonder. Vegas (jrvegas) contributed to the design. The sim is home for 2 big stores: The Voodoo Community Mainstore, that sells spolders and security tools for clubs and events, and the Vegas Tattoo mainstore owned by Vєgas (abaracdabra).

Impressions of Voodoo Land (1) – around the landing point

The landmark description refers partly to the Voodoo Maintstore: “A community of people from around the globe. Our platform is a tool to enhance your experience in virtual worlds by improving security, and creating opportunities to gain money and traffic while you have fun. Anti-bot & Sploder systems, Trivia, Dance.“

Voodoo Land and Little World – bird eye view and orientation map

Next to the the Voodoo Land full region is a moderate homestead, that is connected my a brige – “Little World”. I didn’t explore it (yet), but it seems to be the playground of Sofie Janic and Vegas. “Always in > Under construction 😛 … by Sofie Janic and Vegas and a big thanks to Megan Prumier \o/”
Megan Prumier is also involved in Voodoo Land, for example the Irish Pub contains objects from her.

Impressions of Voodoo Land (2)

Back to Voodoo Land. The landing leads directly to the Voodoo Mainstore. From there I began simploring. Voodoo Land is – besides the two big stores – a huge modern mega city at night. It is full of illuminated advertisings and has all you’d expect from a megatropolis. Most stores and shops are just facades but in particular bars and entertainment are accessible, just try yourself. I liked in particular the above mentioned Irish pub.

Impressions of Voodoo Land (3) – view on Little World (lower left) / The Irish Pub (upper and lower right)

You will also find lots of graffiti, some are huge and remind more of a big art exhibition *winks*. You find video billboards and raceways, little oasises, a skateboard park and a basketball court. And some little details made me smile. I want to mention the “WcDog’s Hotdog sign”, a sign I never saw before yet in Second Life.

Impressions of Voodoo Land (4)

The whole environment invites for roleplay or is just a great background for taking pictures in an urban night setting. Or you could visit one of the bars with your friends.

Impressions of Voodoo Land (5)

There’s also a video of Voodoo Land, that provides a perfect impression of this mega city.

I had a lot of fun exploring Voodoo Land and taking pictures. I always appreciate when shop owners not just have a store inworld but also gice something back to their clients or to the whole community. Thank you Sofie Janic, Monkey Wonder, Vegas (jrvegas), Vєgas (abaracdabra), Megan Prumier and whoever else was and is involved in realizing Voodoo Land.

Diary 2020 (106) July 22nd – July25th Off-time

05 Aug 2020 Leave a comment

by diomitamaurer in Diary Tags: , , , , , , ,

Wednesday, July 22nd, Mistress was off. I had a busy day RL but I found some time to visit a gallery in the afternoon.
I had a quiet night. First I spent half an hour alone at Puerto Esclava and watched what was going on there until slave Flo and slave Melissa came inworld. We spent half an hour at Mesmerize Dungeon, then went home and had a greedy before Flo had to leave for bed. As Mistress Jenny was off for a few days and I was off myself due to my RL, I unlocked slave Flo’s cuffs allowing her to roam a bit and to take more lessons with Angelique learning and exercising the usage of her maitreya body. I brought slave Melissa to her room at home and went roaming a bit on my own before I went off.

July 22nd: Diomita at Puerto Esclave / Diomita with slave Flo and slave Melissa at Mesmerize Dungeon

Thursday, July 23rd, I went on a very enjoyable simploring tour in the later morning and I spent some time alone standing and modeling at various places in the afternoon but I was often only partly present.
I was absent Thursday night until Saturday night. Hence there’s not that much to report. slave Flo had her fun respresenting the family. She sent out a message:
“Hello everyone – I have to inform you all – as long as Mistresses are on holidays – it’s me Florence – who represent “Mistress Diomita and Mistress Jenny” as best I can do. No need to call me Miss or Mistress – no title – just Florence -:)”
Friday night party was well attended according to Flo. Virgo had selected the theme:
“It’s friday and that means only one thing. It’s party time here. Wear white or the contrast of it and come dance with us.” I have no pictures of it though.

Saturday night, July 25th, I was back inworld and Mistress Jenny was back as well. We had a lot to catch up with and went seeing Angelique and slave Flo afterwards. We played a skipee together as teams. Mistress Jenny and Angelique played against slave Flo and me – not our usual constellation. It was just the right thing to do for me, just relaxing. It was close to midnight, when we had finished the game and when slave Flo and Angelique had left to bed, Mistress took me to our loft skybox. It seemed to me that she was eager getting licked as much as I was desperate to get my fix. I worshiped Mistress Jenny and I licked her eagerly. After Mistress was satisfied she allowed me to rub myself at her foot, something to remind me very clearly of my position as Mistress’ slave.

July 25th: Mistress Jenny and Ehesklavin Diomita at home.

Before Mistress left, she allowed me to dress with just one piece of clothes, she added cuffs and she blocked inventory. A nice way to remind me even more.
And that’s it about these 4 days.

Art in Second Life 2020 (47) FionaFei – “I Had a Dream, and You Were There”

04 Aug 2020 Leave a comment

by diomitamaurer in Art in Second Life Tags: , , , , , ,

FionaFei is one of the artists that I have featured in this blog quite often already this year: I visited her Shui Mo Gallery (read here), I saw her installation at La Maison d’Aneli (read here), I saw “Impostor” at Sim Quarterly (read here) and I saw her exhibit “Chuanghu (Windows)” at GBTH Project (read here).
When I scrolled through scoop.it SL Destination, I came across her latest installation at Hive 4 at “Hannington Endowment for the Arts at Xeltentat Enterprises” (HEA). It is called “I Had a Dream, and You Were There”

Right when you enter the installation you FionaFei gives an explanation for the title and it provides the right mindset for your visit (at least form my visit):
“This is and installation about losing someone and missing them. It is a creative manifestation of thinking about someone and wishing that they were here. It dwells on a moment in our greams and wanderings when we feel like someone we lost is with us again.
The artwork is not about any specific person in a physical form depctied in the installation. Instead, personal items are left to be discovered around the exhibit, such as a book or a piece of clothing. After all, we do not always have to see someone to feel them.
I Had a Dream, and You Were There“

Impressions of FionaFei’s “I Had a Dream, and You Were There” at HEA (1)

Fiona is Chinese by decent but spent the majority of her life in the West:
“I have a fascination with Chinese history and culture, but I often feel like I’m viewing my ancestry through a filter of Americanized information and experiences. Furthermore, my artistic background has been in charcoal and oil painting mediums, and I’ve had very little experience in actual ink-brush painting. Much of my early years were spent painting landscapes and portraits using oil paint on canvas. However, I developed a love for non-photorealism over the years as an artist. In continuation with my love of non-photorealism, I now produce Chinese ink-brush art in Second Life and exhibit my work around the grid.”
For more information look up FionaFei’s own website.

Impressions of FionaFei’s “I Had a Dream, and You Were There” at HEA (2)

If you have been to any of FionaFei’s installations before, you’ll recognise her specific style of art immediatiately. You enter an ink brush painting and become a part of it. This time it is a forest. Once you have entered it you can easily get lost in it as the background is melting into the forest. You get lost like you can get lost in your memories.

While you walk around you will notice red spots and getting closer you can see the single items FionaFei has written about: a piece of clothes, a mirror, a bird cage, a book, a bow or a hat. They are placed more or less randomly, just like your memories pop out uncontrolled anywhere. You will also find a bench to sit and to let your mind wander while you become a colourful part of FionaFei’s ink-brush world.

Impressions of FionaFei’s “I Had a Dream, and You Were There” at HEA (3)

Who you will think of and what thoughts will the items and the environment initate in you? You have to find out yourself.
Thank you Fiona, I enjoyed visiting your installation “I Had a Dream, and You Were There”

Diomita at FionaFei’s “I Had a Dream, and You Were There” at HEA

“Hannington Endowment for the Arts at Xeltentat Enterprises” – despite ist name “Xeltentat Enterprises” is not a commercial sim in any way. It is a peaceful and private area for contemplation and relaxation, and is proud to host artists at The Hive!”
It is owned by Hannington Xeltentat. “Hanningtom Endowment for the Arts at Xeltentat Enterprises” – or short HEA, was built by Tansee, who also runs the gallery.  Thank you Hannington for providing the space and thank you Tansee from enabling the FionaFei’s installation “I Had a Dream, and You Were There”

FionaFei’s “I Had a Dream, and You Were There” at HEA will be open until October 31, 2020

Monday, July 20th, I met with Mistress in the afternoon. We went to Heavy Bondage Club and to Mesmerize Dungeon, then Mistress proposed to go to a shopping event. What I didn’t know was that she was looking after a dress for me that she had seen on someone else and that wasn’t (yet) available at the store. It was a topless dress, open at my bum. Mistress bought it for me. Then we went to the store of the creator and Mistress bought a set of chains that attach to my nipples. She took me back to Mesmerize Dungeon where I changed into the dress. At that point I was already quite aroused. Mistress took me to our loft skybox, playfully warmed up my bum and teased me …. then she had to leave *sighs+

At night, our victim slave N and slave Meli were present. We had in mind to take them to the terrace to let them entertain us. But as Angelique showed up we took them and Angelique to the above mentioned store and bought the nipple chains and plastic shorts for Angelique. Unfortunately a according fashion had to be postponed as Angelique had to leave for bed.
Mistress made slave N sit on our pony Bronco and we enjoyed the show … again and again, it is entertaining to make a slave lock themselve and to listen to the funny 911 story. slave N had to leave just when the show was over. slave N is slowly coming to terms with her new life and begins to obey without hesitating. I personally think she found her true self.
slave Gwendi showed up as well as slave Flo. We went to Psi’s realm with slave Flo, slave Gwendi and slave Melissa for 15 minutes, then we returned home and played one round of greedy.

After the slaves had left to bed, Mistress and I retreated to our loft skybox. I had to dress again like in the afternoon, then Mistress allowed me to lick her and to get my fix. Thank you, Mistress Jenny.

Tuesday, July 21st, I ran late in the afternoon. Mistress and I didn’t do much but talked, we stood around at Heavy Bondage Club and at Mesmerize Dungeon and we met Angelique at Mesmerize Dungeon. I enjoyed a very relaxed hour kneeling at Mistress’ side.

Our night began with a little fashion show of Angelique who showed us what we gifted to her the night before, the nipple chains and the pastic shorts. I think both fits very well to Angelique!

slave Flo and slave N showed up and we went to our terrace where slave N was still leashed next to pony Bronco.

Diomita Maurer: hello slave N, what are you ?
N (naahdia) blushes when been forced to say it again and whispers: I am a slave….N
Diomita Maurer: and what is your position, slave N?
N (naahdia) whispers: …….I am beneath everyone
Diomita Maurer: keep that in mind as it is important in your further life, slave N
Mistress Jenny: good girl
Mistress Jenny: Is the hood locked Diomita?
Diomita Maurer: yes, Mistress Jenny
Mistress Jenny: can you unlock it please … and take it off please so we can see N’s face?
Diomita Maurer: yes, Mistress Jenny
N (naahdia): oh my god….thank you……after 4 days under hood
Mistress Jenny: I need to break some bad news to you N
N (naahdia): bad news?
Mistress Jenny: we have tried all of your friends, none of them seem to care much about you at all
Mistress Jenny: look at this from one of your so called friends
Mistress Jenny shows a transcript of a conversation with one of her “friends” to slave N
N (naahdia): oh my god……. they are all bitches
Mistress Jenny: We tried selling you on the open market, we could not even get our usual fee for you, 1 L$
N (naahdia) blushess
Mistress Jenny: So I am afraid we have to give you away
Diomita Maurer: a worthless useless cunt, Mistress Jenny .. and stupid, I told you beforehead, Mistress jenny
Mistress Jenny: But we will not release you just like that, We will remove all control we have over you, then we will dump you to be at the mercy of anyone who cares to take you
N (naahdia): Oh no…not please

July 21st: Mistress Jenny, Diomita, Angelique and slave Flo with slave N at home and at Psi’s realm

We left her group, released her icontrol implant, restricted the slave with the cuffs and left all keys out, unavailable to her. Then we went to Psi’s realm, leashed her at the wall of shame and left her so that her fate with fulfill (hopefully).
REMARK: The kidnap roleplay was fun for us and N did enjoy it to the fullest. We made her worst nightmares come ture and she was very thankful for that. Who knows, we might see more of her again.

July 21st: Mistress Jenny and Diomita with slave Flo and slave Melissa at Mesmerize Dungeon and at Puerto Esclava

After we were done with slave N we went to Mesmerize Dungeon with slave Flo and summoned slave Melissa to us. We spent some quiet time standing around, then moved on to Puerto Esclava where we could watch some slaves poledancing. And finally we went home and had a greedy to chill. Mistress and I retreated to our skybox after the slave had left to bed and we had some intimate time for ourselves.

Art in Second Life 2020 (46) Plaza Art Gallery

I got an invitation from Violet Boa to attend an opening at Plaza Art Gallery for Friday, July 17th. As I couldn’t attend the opening and had some time, I went there the day before the opening.

The Plaza Art Gallery is close to a shopping mall. I forgot to check who is running the gallery and the shopping mall, but for sure Violet Boa is involved. The Plaza Art Gallery is a 2 story building next to the shopping mall. On the ground level the work of Kody Meyers (kodymeyers) and of Etamae is showcased. The invitation I got was for these two artists. On the second floor is an exhibtion of the work of Tay (tayana1) and I also visited this exhibition.

The Plaza Art Gallery building

Kody Meyers (kodymeyers) likes to capture the wonderful ambiance and environments created by so many talented landscapers in Second Life, it is his way to relax and explore his imagination: “Each picture depicts a story or is a reminder of an experience one can reflect upon when admiring it. As a perfectionist, I take the time necessary to capture the picture, experimenting with different angles, framings and windlights, until the perfect shot is created — the one that comes alive.”
Kody further processes his pictures and at least I couldn’t see that the raw picture was taken in Secons Life. Knowing this background I can imagine that it takes some time to get the results that we can see in his part of the the current exhibtion at Plaza Art Gallery.

I came across Etamae already a few times. I saw “Dominance and Submission” at Elevate Femdom (see here), I saw her work at La Maison D’aneli in April 2020 (see here), I visited her gallery “Eta’s Feed Your Fetish Gallery” (see my blogpost here) and I visited her Extempore Gallery and Lounge (read here).
Etamae is from the UK and began transforming her pictures from the things she has seen and loved in Second Life into something else, in digital art in 2018. Etamae is not defined by just one style or area of art, she plays with different patterns and tries herself out in a broader spectrum of art. I wouldn’t have recognized her as the artist behind the pictures showcased at Plaza Art Gallery, nor would I recognize that the raw picture is taken in Second Life. Well, done!

On the second floor is the exhibtion of Tay (tayana1). Tay is in Second Life for almost 8 years. Tay says about herself that she’s a dreamer, she loves Life, nature, animals and in particular the ocean. As artist she mostly paints with watercolors. All but one picture featured at Plaza Art Gallery are watercolour art, just one is acrilic. Tay’s art work expresses her dreams well, the pictures radiate peace and a melancholic happiness.

I enjoyed my short visit to the Plaza Art Gallery, thank you for the invitation, Violet Boa. And thank you Kody, Etamae and Tay for you art.
