For my simploring tour on Wednesday, May 13th, I picked “It All Starts With A Smile (IASWAS)” from scoop.it SL Destinations. IASWAS rang a bell as I had visited it twice in 2016 (read here and here) and in December 2017 as “IASWAS Groenland Kangamiut” (read here).

The version of IASWAS, that I saw this year is a residential full sim (rated moderate) private, furnished parcels which are all beautifully decorated and landscaped. The public areas are open to all to explore and take photos. You can join the IASWAS group to get updated, there are fun events on the sim for everybody to enjoy.
IASWAS is owned by Kaelyn Alecto. Kaelyn has created kind of a brand with her IASWAS sims!

It All Starts With A Smile (IASWAS) – overview and orientation map

IASWAS consists of a central public island where you also land when you visit. The main island is surrounded by several other smaller islands that are all contected by bridges and walkways. Very well integrated into the environment you find 8 residential homes on these smaller islands.
My tour began at the landing on the main court of the central island. Around the court you see a small concert, a stall for foot, a large recreation hall and a reception building. I started my visit in the big recreation hall, which offers games, a rodeo bull, places to sit and a bar. There is also enough space for celebrations in this hall.

I went back to the court and to the reception building. It is nicely furnished and decorated. There’s a counter with pictures of the 8 residential houses that can be rented. At the time of my visit all houses but one were occupied. IASWAS seems to be a popular place (great!).

I walked through the reception building and found the first of countless nice spots to sit and enjoy right behind the building. I sat down and looked around.  To my right I noticed an open truss and a sign on the ground “Walk Down Memory Lane” and I walked in of course. It is a small gallery with just a few pictures taken at the predecessor sims of IASWAS.

From there I began my walk over all of the smaller islands. They also offer a lot to see. Most of the space is public, you just shouldn’t you into the houses themself. There are (small) sign, that mark the private plots. But no worries, you won’t intrude by accident – and the cosy spots to enjoy are all pulic. And I saw a lot of them! And the houseboat, which is laying on the inner shore is also public.

My round trip also led along the waterfalls. The wooden walkway at the bottom side of the falls is quite impressive and offer great opportunities for taking picture as well as there’re more cosy spots.

I ended my tour with a visit at the coffee corner, a place with another great view on the falls. Behind the café is another court with space to meet. At least at 2 spots you can also start a tour with a bumper boat.

IASWAS is a nice place to live and also offers a lot for visitors. I had fun exploring and took many pictures. Thank you Kaelyn for creating this sim and for opening up most of it to the public. You definitively succeeded to bring a smil to my face!

Diary 2020 (69) May 11th/12th – slave puppies

We had another really full day within the family on Monday, May 11th. In the afternoon I met with Mistress Jenny and we went to Heavy Bondage Club to catch up with our news and to spend some time together. slave puppy Luci found us there and decorated us. We also got approached by Seu (Suomai), an Asian sub,with who we talked a bit there. I mention it because we saw her again when we came back inworld at night. Our slave puppies Flo, Gwendi and Luci were already waiting for us at the porch of our house and Seu joined us there. We chit chatted for a while and then went to Mesmerize Dungeon.

May 11th: Mistress Jenny and Diomita with slave puppy Luci at Heavy Bondage Club / with our slave puppies Flo, Gwendi and Luci and Seu (Suomai) at home

We stayed just a few minutes as Mesmerize Dungeon and had Robur (Roburion) with us while we were there. As our puppies became itchy feet we had to walk them and went to Stones ‘N Rubber (sNr), a sim we haven’t visited for quite a while. Stones ‘N Rubber is a place mainly for ponies and pony training but also for living art (slaves turned into marble statues) and for puppies. We saw Sinha Hynes, the owner of sNr at the central meeting point. She was a pony for that night and was there with her trainer. We had a nice talk with Sinha’s trainer.
In the meanwhile we had more slave puppies around us: slave slut cecy and Ann who also stepped into a puppy suit. And Seu (Suomai) had also accompanied us. Mistress Jenny and I were quite busy controlling and caring about our puppy slaves all night.

Finally also slave BB (Ebony Massey) joined us. We had the family complete with all potentials, just puddle whore (formerly known as Kitty Maurer) was missing as she’s a bit “occupied” at the moment. As a lot had changed at Stones ‘N Rubber we asked for the puppy place and the above mentioned trainer organized that someone else led us to the puppy training area. We did not only have a busy night, we had also fun! I took a few pictures for the family picture book before we went back home at flotime.

Back home slave puppy cecy got a nice puppy tail plug from Mistress. This way she perfectly mingled with our other slave puppies. What a full day!

Tuesday, May 12th, was quite relaxed just opposed to Monday. I met with Mistress Jenny in the afternoon and we went to Psi’s realm with slave pet Luci and pet Ann. We talked, caught up with our mutual news, we watched what we going on and we saw a new dress from a renowned store. We learned it is currently available at a kink fashion fair.

At night we had a visitor at home, Zia (Ziahon82). We met her, Angelique and slave pet Flo and Gwendi close to our Stonehaven patio and we talked a bit. Angelique had to go to be though and Mistress Jenny and I took the slave pets and Zia to the puppy playground at Stones ‘N Rubber again. We sat down on a bench, watched the campfire and just talked, manily with Zia to get to known to her a bit. slave BB (Ebony Massey) had joined us at the playground as well.

After Zia had left we took our slave pets and went to the kink fashion fair. We looked at all stalls dragging the pets with us. It must have been exhausting for them. And yes, we both bought the dress that we saw in the afternoon for eachother. Back home we played a round of greedy with slave Flo and slave Gwendy. It took exactly until flotime and both slave went off to bed. Mistress Jenny and I had some intimate time of togetherness at our skybox, then we went to bed ourself.

Simploring 2020 (38) Devils Bend National Park

For my simploring tour on Tuesday, April 28th, I selected Devils Bend National Park from scoop.it SL Destinations. The entry referred to a post from Maddy Gynoid “Simtipp: Devil’s Bend National Park” (in German), which I read before I visited. Maddy had already done a little bit of research so that I don’t have to do that myself.

Devils Bend National Park (DBNP) is a fictional National Park. The sim (a full moderate region) is owned by Aiden Caudron, the landmark description consists of the tags: “forest, exploring, explore, hiking, trail, fun, family, rp, roleplay, fun, good time, szym, pro street”

Devils Bend National Park – overview

The landing is in a visitor center with some exhibits like a car and a necklace owned by the Nornberg family, most probably a ficitional family, who know? From the outside the visitor center looks quite real and the whole sim, the signs, the park rangers and all detail provide the feeling of being in a National Park somewhere in the US.

Impressions of Devils Bend National Park (1) – in and at the visitor center

I followed the big road as well as the paths and crossed several bridges. The mountain has a tunnel system and at least one cave, the roads and the paths are on different levels and you can easily get lost. What else? I came across several residential houses and huts at DBNP and some of them can be rented. And I went to the only cafe at DBNP. Have a look inside, it is nicely furnished.

Impressions of Devils Bend National Park (2) – “stay on markes paths”

Impressions of Devils Bend National Park (3) – the café and one of the residential houses

Of course I also went to the broken bridge. It is not easy to get there as the road is blocked by a crashed bus. Curios as I am I found a way around and went to the bridge … yet there’s nothing really to see.

Impressions of Devils Bend National Park (4) – the broken bridge / “practice social distancing”

Devils Bend National Park offers a lot of nature, nice trails to hike and a lot of nice views and of course it is a great place to take picture. I liked that DBNP makes you literally feel like visiting a NP, even the road signs are fitting to today’s reality: “Practise Social Distancing”.

I had fun exploring and taking pictures. Thank you Aiden Caudron for creating and sharing your place with the public!

Diary 2020 (68) May 10th – a full Sunday / our puppy slaves

Sunday, May 10th, Mistress Jenny and I spent quite some hours inworld together during the day. We met already in the later morning and Mistress Jenny was up for getting into trouble. Hence we both wore our cuffs, locked in a prayer pose, and with our keys out. Mistress wore her police collar in addition. We went to Puerto Esclava first and spent quite some time there – nothing happened, not even an IM and we could provoke nothing.

May 10th: Mistress Jenny and Diomita as easy preys at Puerto Esclava

Then we went to Heavy Bondage Club and met Ann there. But also nothing happened there. Finally we went back home and tended to our real lifes again.
We met after lunch in the early afternoon agin for 2 hours and continued our tour. We started off at Puerto Esclava again. I tried really hard to provoke anyone to take our keys and to have fun. I bumped with my bum into others and I even remarked in public chat that I was doing a field study about butts – this time we got a little bit response yet none dared to take our keys. After one hour at Puerto Esclava we made a bigger tour. We went to Psi’s realm, to club Domme a Domme, to Gwen’s storage, to The Storage at Harriot and even to Dungeon of FDS – nothing.

May 10th: Mistress Jenny and Diomita at Heavy Bondage Club with Ann, at Puerto Esclava, at Psi’s realm, at club Domme a Domme and at our loft skybox

We had fun nonetheless although we didn’t succeed to get someone taking our keys and giving us a small kick of helplessness. When we returned to our loft skybox Mistress allowed me to lick her. That was a nice reward and we both enjoyed it. Thank you, Mistress Jenny

Our night was full and pure fun (for us) after this already long day in Second Life. Angelique, slave Gwendi, slave Flo and slave Luci were playing greedy when we came inworld. They finished their game and we took them all to our Stonehaven patio. Unfortunately Angelique had to leave for bed. One after the other we had the slaves strip and made them wear latex puppy suits. We choose a dog muzzle for slave Gwendi (the black puppy) and simple hoods for slave Flo (white puppy) and slave Luci (red puppy). Don’t the puppies look just cute like this?

May 10th: Mistress Jenny and Diomita putting slave Flo, slave Gwendi and slave Luci into puppy suits at our Stonehaven patio at home

Of course we had to walk our pets and we went to Mesmerize Dungeon for it. We had fun and enjoyed! At flotime we returned home and put slave pet Gwendi in the cage on our porch, slave Flo and slave Luci went to bed as well – and so did we after this full day.

Art in Second Life 2020 (29) SUBCUTAN Art Gallery and Multimedia Centre

23 May 2020 1 Comment

Following my visit at Eta’s Extempore Gallery and Lounge (read here) where I saw Sophie Marie Sinclair (perpetua1010)’s exhibition “Inspiration in Red”, I visited the SUBCUTAN Art Gallery and Multimedia Centre, which is Spohie’s own gallery.

SUBCUTAN Art Gallery and Multimedia Centre consists of several buildings that are arranged around a broad and wide court in the center: The Main Gallery and Multimedia Centre, 3 gallery buildings and a party and event building (cube). In the center is a meeting point and across that is an inforamtion centre under a tent where you can also get a freebie (for joining the group)

The whole setting is ultra modern and the buildings have a modern architecture with a lot of glass for natural light. You find enough areas to party, to meet or for celebrations. I started my visit at the information centre which offers the above mentioned freebie (a handbag with a Lagerfeld likeness) and information about what is shown in the different buildings.

SUBCUTAN Art Gallery and Multimedia Centre – Information Centre

“Sophie Marie Sinclair is a RL painter and book author. She mainly paints nude from models and abstract art. She loves to experiment with different kind of paint and lithography. She has made several book illustrations and was for many years political cartoonist for a well known satire magazine. She lived and worked in the Unites States, Australia, Rome and Monaco.”
(taken from the notcard I got at the Extempore Gallery and Lounge)

Gallery 1 showns Sophie Marie Sinclair’s art with the title “Emotions in Black and White”. Sophie’s art is not explicit, you always need to look longer and more detailed at them to get the gist, to see the emotion and thus her art has a particular effect on the viewer.

SUBCUTAN Art Gallery and Multimedia Centre – Gallery 1: “Emotions in Black and White”

Gallery 2 shows Sophie Marie Sinclair’s art with the title “Red Expressions”, which I saw at Eta’s Extempore Gallery and Lounge under the title “Inspiration in Red”, powerful paintings in red with a fantastic 3D-effect.

SUBCUTAN Art Gallery and Multimedia Centre – Gallery 2: “Red Expressions”

Gallery 3 is was not occupied with an exhibtion on the time of my visit (May 2nd).

The cube is a great place to party and celebrate. Again the space has an ultramodern setting. I had fun looking at the details and in these times the flamingo sign “corona” conjured a smile in my face.

SUBCUTAN Art Gallery and Multimedia Centre – Cube

I ended my visit at the Main Gallery and Multimedia Centre. In front of it are two sculptures: “Sisters” by Cherry Manga and “Apple Fall ‘Strength’ Fragment” by Apple Pancake. Both sculptures can develop their expressional strength standing alone with the modern environment as backround.

SUBCUTAN Art Gallery and Multimedia Centre – Main Building with sculptures in front of it, lower right shows “granite art” exhibited around the staircase

Inside of the building is a presentation hall where you can watch movies or other performance art. At the time of my visit, I could watch a video about the “SUBCUTAN Art Gallery and Multimedia Centre“.

In the Main Gallery and Mulitmedia Centre you find more of Sophie’s art. On the ground floor the exhibtion titled “Yellow Nude Expressions”, which picks up the theme of “Emotions in Black and White”, just in yellow. Again you have to look twice to see persons and emotions, the pictures are a bit more explicit though.

SUBCUTAN Art Gallery and Multimedia Centre – Main Gallery: “Yellow Nude Expressions”

Around the staircase to the 2nd floor of the Main Gallery and Mulitmedia Centre you find some picture that look like granite, like patterns engraved in granite. On the 2nd floor is again a large corner for events or celebrations in front of a picture titled “Akt Blau liegend” and another exhibition of Spohie’s art with quite erotic, colourful and expressive bodies and faces. I found no title for this part.

SUBCUTAN Art Gallery and Multimedia Centre – Main Gallery: art on the 2nd floor

SUBCUTAN Art Gallery and Multimedia Centre is worth a visit and if it is just for the architecture. Sophie Marie Sinclair (perpetua1010)’s art covers several styles yet most of her pictures do express strong emotions and they develop their effect on the viewer who takes a second and third look at them. This effect is also expressed in the name of the gallery centre: subcutan – because the art gets under your skin.

It might have not been my last vist. Thank you Sophie for your art and for creating the SUBCUTAN Art Gallery and Multimedia Centre. I look forward to seeing more exhibtions.

Diary 2020 (67) May 8th/9th Relaxed days although wearing the Ehesklavin collar

22 May 2020 Leave a comment

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

Friday morning I met Mistress Jenny and as we didn’t plan it it was a real bonus. What I didn’t expect was her mood. Immediately after we met Mistress ordered me to strip and to wear a pink dress, a dress that I should have trashed. She made me wear my cuffs, locked them and left.
Mistress summoned me to Mature Dommes and we caught up quickly, then Mistress took me to the uneven bar and I had to lick her to an orgasm. We returned home and Mistress not only unlocked the cuffs again, she also allowed me to dress like I want. I must have been not too bad *winks*. But it was time to leave into our RL again. What a start into the day!

May 8th: Mistress Jenny and Ehesklavin Diomita at Mature Dommes

I was inworld in the afternoon and sorted inventory, updated slideshows, visited a gallery and wrote the according report. I didn’t meet anyone of the family though. At night Mistress Jenny was early but just after we met I was interrupted by RL for almost an hour. But I was present when we started our Friday night party to welcome the weekend. Mistress Jenny had proposed the theme: “Let’s take advantage of the good weather this Spring and go to the beach for some dancing.” Hence at least some of us were not wearing that much *winks*. And Virgo had to strip her top as she got more than 1,000 L$ tips. We should make her strip regularly. Anyway, we had another great start into our weekend and could blind out the absurdities of our current real life.

May 8th – Friday night party: Angelique, slave Flo, Diomita, Mistress Jenny, slave BB (Ebony Massey), slave Luci, Madoka Kawabata, Baroness Capelo, Claven Albatros (upper row), Diable (Orson Neuron), Hotaru (rmf361sim), Starry Starship, Della Randt, Sara (SaraRandall), Lizzy Rascon, Claire (maddh4ttr), papafox57, Virgo Babii (lower row)

Saturday, May 9th, I found a picture of Virgo at your Friday night party in my messages. Starry has taken it and used some filters to make it more interesting and I want to share it here.

May 8th: Our dj Virgo Babii (picture taken by Starry Starship)

I met with Mistress Jenny in the afternoon and we spent an hour at Heavy Bondage Club together. slave Luci decorated us there. We caught up with our mutual news and just enjoyed some time together.
When we returned at night we had a full house with Angelique, slave Flo, slave Gwendi and slave Luci. Instead of visiting a club we decided to play skipee as teams – 6 people / 3 teams: Mistress Jenny and slave Flo, slave Gwendi and slave Luci and Angelique with me. Mistress Jenny and slave Flo won it this time.

May 9th: Mistress Jenny and Diomita with slave Luci at Heavy Bondage Club and with Angelique, slave Flo, slave Gwendi and slave Luci at home.

After the game slave Gwendi went to bed and we went to Mesmerize Dungeon for half an hour until flotime. And after slave Flo had gone to bed too, Mistress and I went to club Domme a Domme for a few minutes but then went to bed ourselves too.

May 9th: Mistress Jenny and Diomita at Mesmerize Dungeon Angelique, slave Flo and slave Luci and at club Domme a Domme

These 2 days had been quite relaxed although I’m wearing my Ehesklavin collar and am very aware of it and what it means for me.

Art in Second Life 2020 (28) La Maison d’Aneli May/June 2020

21 May 2020 Leave a comment

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

Wednesday, May 20th, Aneli Abeyante opened a new joined exhibtion of 7 artists: Sophie Maire Sinclair (Perpetua1010), Slatan Dryke, Desy Magic, ilyra Chardin, Sweet Susanowa, Djehuti-Anpu (Thoth Jantzen) and Nok Kirax.
With this new exhibition Aneli also changed (once again) the concept of her gallery “La Maison d’Aneli“. The main hall is now on the ground level in a large industrial or storage hall. From here doors with teleporting functionality lead to skyboxes, one box (50x50x30 meter) for each artist with an allowance of 300 prims. This way the artists are quite free how they showcast their work and there’s no destraction from others rooms or art. I admit, that I like this concept a lot.

La Maison d’Aneli May/June 2020 – the new gallery concept, you start your visit in a large industrial and enter skyboxes by teleporter doors

I visited the new joined exhibtion several times before the opening event which I couldn’t attend due to my other activities in Second Life. My visit started with ilyra Chardin’s box where she installed a little Mediterrean town under the current restrictions. She titeled her installation with “The New Normal – The Date”.
The setting is quite lovely, I could almost smell the sea and the Mediterrean air and flair. But no tourists on the streets and no inhabitants. You have to look up to the windows and balconies and even there are not many. I saw one man playing a banjo and singing and I also saw “The Date”, two people sitting at dinner on two adjacent balconies.
“ilyra Chardin is an artist and designer, whose work has been featured in numerous installations and exhibits across the grid. Her art work crosses media and styles, spanning from real life and digital to SL art.  First and foremost, Ilyra is a story teller.” (taken from the accompanying notecard)

La Maison d’Aneli May/June 2020: ilyra Chardin – “The New Normal – The Date”

Nok Kirax is in Second Life since 2007 and has dome a lot of different things in SL for example building and landscaping. His current passion is photography. He mainls makes portraits with a non coloured background (black or white) which forces the viewer to focus on the face. The portraits are quite expressive and the eyes and every wrinkles tell a story. You begin to think about the person behind the face, what is the story, which fear do they have, which passion?

La Maison d’Aneli May/June 2020: Nok Kirax

Sophie Marie Sinclair (Perpetua1010)’s box at La Maison d’Aneli is a mixture between a showcase for her pictures, her art and a mystic, hazy fantasy place. Set to “midnight” the pictures illuminate the scene and it needs a second view to realize that the pictures depict human bodies, mostly female bodies and all colours of different yellow tones. The pictures develop a totally different impression in this environment than just seen on a black or white screen.
“Sophie Marie Sinclair is a RL painter, cartoonist, book author and ghostwriter for well known comedians.. She mainly paints nude from models and abstract art. She loves to experiment with different kind of paint and lithography. She has made several book illustrations and was for many years political cartoonist for a well known satire magazine. She lived and worked in the Unites States, Australia, Rome and Monaco.” (taken mostly from the accompanying notecard)
Sophie Marie Sinclair (Perpetua1010) has her own gallery the “SUBCUTAN Art Gallery and Multimedia Centre“, which I visited recently. The blogpost about that visit is up to be published in a few days.

La Maison d’Aneli May/June 2020: Sophie Marie Sinclair (Perpetua1010)

“doyouSL builder/artist Thoth Jantzen (aka “TJ”, “Djehuti-Anpu”) specializes in creating massively immersive multi-media environments and sculpture.  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 the accompanying notecard)
The see Thoth’s installation at La Maison d’Aneli you should make sure to set your viewer to the proposed settings. You sit down in one of the colourful pods and you screen is filled with permanent changing forms and colours. You hear psychadelic music and (at least I) felt like being on a drug trip. Most probably because I never was on any drug trip, that is how I think it would be. Your mind begins to wander as you follow how the forms and colours develop on your screen and you get calm and relexed drifting into another world. A very well made show, that did impress me. Unfortunately a picture can just grab a still from a moment and you can’t see the motion, on the other hand every moment captured is kind of art itself.

La Maison d’Aneli May/June 2020: Thoth Jantzen

I saw Sweet Susanowa’s art the first time at another exhibition at La Maison d’Aneli back in July 2019. Sweet joined Second Life 12 years ago without thinking about any exhibition at a gallery. She is a photographer now in real life as well as in Second Life. At La Maison d’Aneli different examples of her work are displayed ranging from processed and artificially manipulated black and white portrait pictures, erotic art to coloured abstract art. Some of her picture look like snapshots, even double exposured and hazy and this impressions is enhanced by round corners. They capture the person supposedly unnoticed, a glimpse of everyday life and some are very erotic in my personal view.

La Maison d’Aneli May/June 2020: Sweet Susanowa

Desy Magic is in Second Life for almost 12 years. She is a passionate photographer and she has a unique and colourful style in which she processes her pictures and makes them real eye catchers. You can still see the original motif yet the abstract forms or objects added to her picture are a dominant element, intriguing.

La Maison d’Aneli May/June 2020: Desy Magic

Slatan Dryke is in Second Life since 2007. “In RL Slatan loves Art in every expression, but he is most fond of paintings and sculptures, following his classical education. Slatan is also a photographer in RL. In Second Life he’s a a perfectionist in taking his pictures, never missing a single detail. Slatan rarely uses an editor to modify his pictures, so he likes to say his works are “natural”. He also creates sculptures, which are often slight but become alive with a creative use of textures, lights and movements.” (excerpt taken from the accompanying notecard)
At La Maison d’Aneli he showcases a colourful installation in his box. The walls, the floor and the ceiling are textured in red, brown and blue tones. In the center you see round animated spirals made of faces, worms, mice and skeletons and on top of the spirals are two large bottled paperships. Furtheron there are some abstract tree-like textured objects in the room, The combination of the art objects is hard to Interpret, at least for me, yet the single objects are intriguing.

La Maison d’Aneli May/June 2020: Slatan Dryke

The current exhibition stays opened at least until June 20th.
La Maison d’Aneli is owned by Aneli Abeyante. Through her gallery she brings together all forms of creativity in RL and SL and the featured artists come from around the globe. Aneli’s intention is to “put her gallery in the service of artists, so that the world can be better, exchanges and meetings probably contribute even though it seems to be particles.”
Thank you for another great joined exhibtion, Aneli. As always I enjoyed my visit and writing about it. It always inspires me.

Diary 2020 (66) May 6th/7th Getting deeper again

20 May 2020 Leave a comment

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

I met with Mistress Jenny for one hour in the afternoon on Wednesday, May 6th, and it became an intensive hour for me. I had changed into shorts, a white blouse and overknee boots but I had to take off the blouse again and Mistress put me into the armbinder venus corset. Then we went to Heavy Bondage club and talked about the roleplay the night before. Mistress had enjoyed it, hence it might go on.
But I could also sense that Mistress was in a dominant mood and she destroyed all doubt about it. I had to wear my Ehesklavin tag again and she kept me restricted at Heavy Bondage Club. She also ordered me to take off the overknee boots and to wear ballet boots. One of Mistress’ rules is that slaves either wear no shoes at all or ballet boots and I am her married slave. And she made it very clear that I will regret it if I don’t comply to it during the red light.
The hour went over quickly and we returned to the loft skybox, where Mistress Jenny stored me in the glass cage at the wall close to her throne. I was already getting deep into subspace again.

May 6th: Mistress Jenny and Ehesklavin Diomita at Heavy Bondage Club and at our loft skybox

At night Mistress released me from the glass cage and made me lick her to earn getting off the armbinder corset. I must have done well because she unlocked it and allowed me to wear the blouse again. And she cares about my addiction and that I stay addicted to her. Thank you, Mistress.

We went home and found slave Gwendi, slave Flo and slave Luci playing greedy and we joined in. After the game we decided to go to Gravity’s Wednesday party at Caged Elegance. And slave slut cecy joined us there soon after we arrived. We had fun and I found time to talk to all of them a bit. That is the upside of dancing in Second Life. The music was great as always. We had a relaxed time and Gravity played until flotime.

After the slaves were off to bed, Mistress Jenny and I spent a few minutes at club Domme a Domme. We were both tired after the roleplay the night before had kept us up way too long and hence we went back home and called it a night.

Thursday, May 7th, Mistress Jenny and I met in the afternoon again for 45 minutes. We spent the time at Heavy Bondage Club mainly just chatting and catching up with our mutual news. We were that busy talking that I even forgot to take a picture, but there are many of those pictures in the blog already *winks*

I had an invitation from Cica Ghost to visit “Social Distancing by Bryn Oh and Cica Ghost” and I did in the afternoon. As the name already gives away it is an installation that deals with the current situation in our RL and it does so with a whimsical smile (read here about this installation).
In the early afternoon I made another simploring tour and visited Hotel del Salto, the new sim of Jade Koltai. It is once again a sim that was built after a real place and I enjoyed my visit a lot and I was impressed (read my simploring report here).

At night Mistress Jenny and I met slave Flo and slave gwendi at the greedy table and we joined their game. When we were finished Ann came by and we had a longer chat with her in a relaxed atmosphere. As the slaves were not much restricted it was an opportunity to do something totally different from our normal activities. I took Mistress Jenny and the slaves to “Social Distancing by Bryn Oh and Cica Ghost” first and later to Hotel del Salto. It was fun and Mistress and the slaves enjoyed doing something different.

It was not yet flotime when we returned and hence we went to Psi’s realm just to wind down a bit before slave Flo and slave Gwendi went to bed. Mistress Jenny and I went to Puerto Esclava for a few minutes and then went to bed ourselves.

Diary 2020 (65) May 4th/5th – a slow start into a red light

Mistress Jenny and I spent an hour at Heavy Bondage Club in the afternoon, Monday, May 4th. We talked and watched and enjoyed being together. And we also talked about the roleplay we had the day before of course. After Mistress had left, inot her RL I did a bit o simhopping but nothing was going on nor did I see anyone interesting. Spontaneously I decided to make a simploring tour to a kinky place that we visited more often in former times and that is still available. It was a nice tour.

May 4th: Mistress Jenny and Diomita at Heavy Bondage Club and at home playing skipee with Angelique and slave Gwendi

We had a relaxed night and played skipee with Angelique and slave Gwendi as teams. THis time it was a close game and slave Gendi and I won it by 3 cards against Mistress and Angelique. It is that much more fun when the game is close.
Before we get slave Gwendi into a new outfit for May we allowed her to have a bit of a relaxed time with more freedom. So I unlocked her chastity belt and bra and removed most cuffs, just not the wrist cuffs. She can IM and roam around. Point is, you can only miss later what you enjoyed before. I’m sure slave Gwendi will make the most of it.
slave slut cecy came inworld and we all went to MD for about an hour. Mistress played with slut and humiliated her in public. Finally slut ended up being coloured in a hot pink…. we might need sunglasses now.

May 4th: Mistress Jenny and Diomita with Angelique, slave Gwendi and slut cecy at Mesmerize Dungeon / Mistress Jenny and slave slut cecy at Psi’s realm

Finally Mistress Jenny and I went to Psi’s realm where we stored our slut before Mistress went to bed. I had another continuation of the roleplay in which Mistress is involved in the meanwhile.

Tuesday, May 5th, I wasn’t able to get inworld during the day. My and our night began with Mistress having to rescue me from what I got into in the roleplay of the night before and Mistress had an impromptu punishment on stock for having to rescue me. She replaced my collar with the slave collar and I know too well what that means before we went home.

We had a relaxed night. slave Gwendi, slave Flo, Ann and Silver (silvernero46) were at home and we first chatted a bit while Mistress and I caught up with our mutual new about RL and about the above mentioned roleplay. slave Gwendi had already taken advantage of her part freedom and changed into a dress. As we planned to restrict the slaves again soon it was only fair to grant slave Flo also a bit freedom and I unlocked her hood and took it off. slave Flo went taking a shower and changing, Mistress Jenny, slave Gwendi and I went to Mesmerize Dungeon, Silver went off as it was already late for her and Ann went roaming.

May 5th: Mistress Jenny and Diomita at home with Ann, Silver (silvernero46), slave Flo and slave Gwendi / at Mesmerize Dungeon with Robur (Roburion), slave Flo and slave Gwendi

At Mesmerize Dungeon Robur (Roburion) joined us and knelt at Mistress feet and slave Flo joined us after she had a shower and got into a dress of her choice. We spent quite a while at Mesmerize Dungeon, chatting amoung us in private. There was a griefer again at Mesmerize Dungeon, someone we had seen there before and who kicked people out – quite annoying! slave Gwendi finally used one of ther tools to kick her out of the place – at least for a while. I enjoyed a quiet hour to wind down from the roleplay. We returned home after about an hour and played 2 rounds of greedy before the slaves went to bed shortly after flotime.

Mistress and I retreated to our loft skybox and Mistress allowed me to lick her and to get my fix. Thank you, Mistress Jenny. I had planned to go to bed not too late, but Mistress had a call from our roleply friend and soon after we both were in trouble, well this time Mistress Jenny was even more than me. I think I will have to reveal a bit about this roleplay at some point, but not now. And that’s it about 2 more relaxed days in Second Life spiced up with roleplay at late night – and the start of another red light.

Art in Second Life 2020 (27) Extempore Gallery and Lounge

18 May 2020 4 Comments

After my blogpost about the April exhibition at La Maison d’Aneli (read here) I had contact with one of the artists who were featured in this exhibition – Etamae.
Etamae is from the UK and began taking photographs and then turning those photographs into digital art in 2018.
Her first passion was erotic art and I had come across Etamae in 2019 the first time when I visited her exhibtion “Dominance and Submission” at Elevate Femdom (see here).

And more of etamae’s erotic art can be seen at Eta’s Feed Your Fetish Gallery which is “a little edgy, somewhat sensual centered about the erotic and the BDSM lifestyle” and hence does fit to my personal passion. On Monday, April 27th, I visited Eta’s Feed Your Fetish Gallery (see my blogpost here).

Besides owning Eta’s Feed Your Fetish Gallery Etamae owns two other galleries and I visited one of them on Thursday April 30th: The Extempore Gallery and Lounge.

Extempore Gallery and Lounge – impressions of etamae’s own art

At the Extempore Gallery and Lounge Etamae showcases pictures taken in Second Life and manipulated in particular by recolouring and adding light effects to them as well as some animated permantently changing pictures. 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.

At the Extempore Gallery and Lounge Etamae not only showcases her own art but provides the space also to other artists. At the time of my visit the gallery featured also the art from: CybeleMoon (hana.hoobinoo), Patrick Moya, Sophie Marie Sinclair (perpetua1010), Aneli Abeyante, Jipe Loon, Patrick Ireland (PatrickofIreland), Harry Cover (impossibleisnotfrench) and Safar Fiertze.

Extempore Gallery and Lounge – impressions of Patrick Moya’s art

I saw already some of Patrick Moya (moja janus)’s art. I came across him in 2017 when I visited his Moya Land (read Simploring 2017 (56) Moya).
Patrick Moya (born 1955 in Troyes, France), is a French artist. He is a part of the artistic movement “Ecole de Nice”. Moya has been at the forefront since the 1970s of straddling the latest forms of media and technology to benefit art rather than rendering it extinct.
(excerpt from wikipedia).
He is an early pioneer of video art and is active with his art in Second Life since 2007 in addition to his work in the physical world. The barriers between the two worlds do blur in his artistic work. Moya Patrick (moya janus) has also a website http://moyapatrick.com/ with tons of information about his work and about Moya in Second Life. Unfortunately it is in French only.
At the Extempore Gallery and Lounge we see examples and drafts of at Moya label in many different variations. I’m not sure, but somehow it felt familiar, I might have seen some ot the exhibits already before

Extempore Gallery and Lounge – impressions of CybeleMoon (hana.hoobinoo)’s art

I also came across CybeleMoon or Hana Hoobinoo already a few times, the last time when I visited “The Itakos Project and Art Gallery“ (read here). Cybele’s picture always have a fantasy background and often show portraits or people in a peaceful, mostly hazy fantasy world. Her pictures seem to tell a story, that you have to make up yourself.

Extempore Gallery and Lounge – impressions of Sophie Marie Sinclair (perpetua1010)’s art

“Sophie Marie Sinclair is a RL painter and book author. She mainly paints nude from models and abstract art. She loves to experiment with different kind of paint and lithography. She has made several book illustrations and was for many years political cartoonist for a well known satire magazine. She lived and worked in the Unites States, Australia, Rome and Monaco.
At Extempore Gallery and Lounge you can see some of her “Inpirations in Red”, powerful paintings in red with a fantastic 3D-effect.“

Extempore Gallery and Lounge – impressions of Aneli Abeyante and Jipe Loon’s art

Aneli Abeyante, who runs La Maison d’Aneli, creates objects in 2D and 3D, colourful, steadily moving, and with particular light effects. Aneli writes about herself:
“I love geometry and mathematics. So after much practice, I managed to clear structures and shapes. In reality I practice painting, I do not have precise style but I always seek harmonization.”
Some of the Aneli’s work exhibited at Extempore Gallery and Lounge was already shown at La Maison d’Aneli in January/February 2020 (see my blogpost here). You see geometrical shapes with one dominating colour. Most of the displays as constantly changing.

The 3D figures that are showcase in the area of the staircase were created by Jipe Loon, erotic figures, truely exaggerated yet intriguing. Jipe is in Second Life for more than 12 years and he sells his creations on the marketplace. I came across some of his figures already before in the frame of my simploring tours, but I never saw more than one, yet at Extempore Gallery and Lounge you see a few of them.

Extempore Gallery and Lounge – impressions of Patrick Ireland (PatrickofIreland)’s art

When I visited “The Itakos Project and Art Gallery“ (read here) I saw an exhibition of Partick Ireland’s art but I couldn’t find any information about him. Patrick’s art, surrealism pure, is shown also at Extempore Gallery and Lounge, but there was a notecard with a bit more information, including his SL name PatrickofIreland:
“Originally in SL in 2008 and recently back after a hiatus of many years, Patrick found his passion for SL photography a little more than a year ago. In this short time, he has become a prolific SL photographer known for his detailed sets and desire to share the joy of his many interests, including surreal subjects, Asian art and philosophy, civic issues and, of course, love.“

Extempore Gallery and Lounge – impressions of Harry Cover (impossibleisnotfrench) and Safar Fiertze’s art

Harry Cover, also known as Impossibleisnotfrench, is from France. He started his second life by playing with prims, then sculpties and finally mesh (Blender). He’s passionate about photos and  graphic designer in RL (among others). One of his objects – Statue vis ecrou all inone – can also be found at my home *winks*. Harry also works with Serene Footman, who creates sims after real places, you’d usually never come across exploring the world as a tourist. He creates landmark buildings for Serene and I mentioned him several times already when I wrote about Serene Footman’s weired outstanding places.

Safar Fiertze has two installations at Extempore Gallery and Lounge. She’s in SL for almost 12 years and writes about herself: “I love labyrinths and labyrinthian minds. I like the artistic and innovative juxtaposition of words. I’ve discovered the joys of juxtaposing prims”
Baletka is an interactive story experience at Extempore Gallery and Lounge loosely inspired by an R.D. Laing case study. You can walk through the story and see Safar’s 3D art.
There’s a second installation of Safar Fiertze “Mechanical Apparition of Emergent Dream” where you can interact with bouncing balls, which reproduce themselves – intriguing.

My spontaneous visit to Extempore Gallery and Lounge became longer than I thought. I had fun seeing it and I enjoyed the art from artists who I came across before again. Thank you etamae for providing and curating your Gallery. I had only one more gallery from etamae to visit “Etamae’s gallery at Absolute Bliss” and I tried Saturday, May 2nd .. but it is gone or the Landmark I had was invalid,
