Saturday, May 2nd, I went visiting another gallery in the early afternoon and I had just finished my visit when Mistress came inworld. I returned home and was swept off my feet when I saw her. Mistress had a new leather outfit in ice cold blue – wow. We went to Heavy Bondage Club to catch up with our news and to have a look at the people around. and I for my part had only eyes for Mistress.. our hour together flew by quickly.

May 2nd: Mistress Jenny and Diomita at home and at Heavy Bondage Club

After Mistress had left I stayed at Heavy Bondage Club for another 2 hours just idling while I sorted pictures and wrote my blog entry about my visit to the gallery. Nothing happened, no IM, nothing. I was just one more idling avatar at the club.

Our night was not like we expected it to be. When we returned inworld at night slave Flo was present and we had a visitor at home: Silver (silvernero46). Silver is quite new and we had seen her before at our sim, talked with her and had given her some hints and advice. Silver changed a lot as she now uses a meshbody and got some nice clothes. That really makes a difference!
After Silver had left we played a round of greedy with slave Flo and then went to Mesmerize Dungeon with her. We initiated our own entertainment there. Robur (roburion) joined us and knelt by our feet. And we called a young woman to us who wore a pacifier gag. I wanted to find out if she’s a friend of Angelique, her profile let me to the conclusion that she could be at least. I asked her is she was wearing plastic panties – she denied that but confessed owning such panties and that she was wearing diapers. Our conversation called another woman (man?) into action who thought we were about to claim the young woman ….. Mistress Jenny had fun teasing all and directing. She had her amusement *winks*

At flotime we retreated to our loft skybox and Mistress Jenny and I had half an hour of intimate time, very relaxing and satisfying. Anything else? Yes. I stayed up a little bit longer and continued the roleplay that I had started recently and that I mentioned in the diary already – but I won’t reveal about it here yet.

Sunday, May 3rd, I met with Mistress in the later morning. Mistress had got another report from Puddle whore:

Dear Mistress Jenny and Mistress Diomita,
PuddleWhore is well. Mistress Amy continues stretching PuddleWhore’s abilities. Wide open.
PuddleWhore spent part of the week inside a very safe vault and the rest of the week penetrated by giant dildos in both holes while staring at porn. PuddleWhore can accomodate them well now. Walking might be an issue. And continence.
PuddleWhore hopes that PuddleWhore moves along well in the training and that you are not hearing any complaints.
Mistress Amy is putting a lot of effort into this.
PuddleWhore can’t really think much right now. Writing is so distractive when one cannot focus and think straight.
With love, PuddleWhore

Along with the report, Mistress got two pictures from Amy (chastitycontroled) that show Amy with Puddle whore..

May 3rd: Amy (chastitycontroled) with Puddle whore (Santana Thibedeau)

I told Mistress Jenny about the roleplay I had and suddently it doesn’t feel like a roleplay anymore, it seems to get more real. Anyway, Mistress will get involved and she was not at all amused about it. She said, she might have to punish me for what I did but she will decide about it later. For the time being she made me wear a pink dress, locked on pink stilettos, added my elegance collar, leashed me, put me into crawling, restricted me and left me at our loft skybox. (Remark: Of course Mistress was not mad at me, we had talked about getting her involved into the roleplay before and actually that was our goal to get a roleplay together)

May 3rd: Mistress Jenny and Ehesklavin Diomita at our loft skybox

When we met in the afternoon, I took Mistress Jenny to the place where the roleplay had happened and incidentally the one I had the roleplay with was present there soon after. I won’t go into any details here, but it developed really bad for Mistress Jenny and me and Mistress got fully involved. We stayed roleplaying very long until it was time for us to leave for dinner (that means roleplay was great and we might get more of it *winks*). I won’t reveal more details here, maybe some other time. And yes, Mistress Jenny did punish me *sighs*

At night we just missed Angelique. slave Flo and slave Gwendi were present and we started off our night with a round of skipee as teams. I think it was the quickest skipee ever. slave Gwendi and I had just great cards … too good cards and an one-sided game is not really fun for all.
We took the slaves to our dungeon to do what we had in mind a few days ago already. The slaves were allowed to spoil us – and they did well.

May 3rd: Mistress Jenny and Diomita getting spoiled by their slaves Gwendi and Flo

We rewarded the slaves at our Fetish Club, well we wanted to reward both but slave Flo was tired and left for bed. This way only slave Gwendi got rewarded and had a ride on a dildo cushion. We had just left to Mesmerize Dungeon when slave slut cecy came inworld and we summoned her to us.

May 3rd: Mistress Jenny and Diomita at our Fetisch Club Chez Maurer with slave Gwendi and at Mesmerize Dungeon with slave Gwendi and slave slut cecy

We stayed about half an hour at Mesmerize Dungeon, then we went home, said good night and went to bed ourselves. It had been an exciting day in Second Life for Mistress Jenny and me.

 

Simploring 2020 (37) Endless 58-58N

16 May 2020 1 Comment

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

For my simploring tour on Saturday, April 25th, I picked Endless 58-58N from scoop.it SL Destinations. I read Inara Pey’s blogpost “A journey to Orkney in Second Life” before I went there myself.

Endless 58-58N was designed by Sombre Nyx (sombrenyx) and the objects I checked were also owned by Sommbre. Endless 58-58N is built in a full adult region, that is owned by a group founded by Jackson Cruyff. I don’t know his role though (co-owner? client?). After I published this simploring report, I learned from Sombre, that Jackson really owns the land as I assumed.

Endless 58-58N – overview

The landing is at a lonely beach with a camping site and you get already a feeling of the beautiful landscape and the almost intact and untouched nature at Endless 58-58N. Not far from the landing point is a sign post where you can grab a notecard with more information.

Impressions of Endless 58-58N (1) – around the landing point and at the beach

“Endless 58-58N is inspired by Orkney, an archipelago of about 70 islands found to the north-east of Scotland. Inhabited for around 8500 years, the islands were settled by the Norse in the late 800s, and became part of the lands belonging to the Scottish Crown in 1472.“

“Today, it is a destination renowned for its many wildlife populations and gorgeous vistas and landscapes, with terrain that ranges from wetlands, farmlands and rolling moors to dramatic sea cliffs and sandy beaches. The islands are also home to Neolithic settlements, historic buildings and monuments, a thriving arts & crafts community and Europe’s best wreck-diving site at Scapa Flow.“

Impressions of Endless 58-58N (2) – at the beach

I began exploring and walked along the beach. I came across a circle of Stonehedge rocks and I saw seals, many seagulls, an ox and many sheeps. I found a nice place for fishing and and some other places just to sit down and enjoy the peace. Endless 58-58N is very tempting in its own way and I enjoyed the views. It consists of one large island and two smaller islands that are connected by a bridge. One of the smaller islands is dominated by a tall standing stone that shall most probably remind of the tall standing rock named “Old Man of Hoy” that can be seen at the Orkney Islands in the physical world.
Remark: Sombre told me later that “what you see on the hillside of Endless 58-58N is a pixel version of The Ring of Brodgar. Similar to the Stonehadge in the South of England, but very different!“

Impressions of Endless 58-58N (3) – the island with the tall single rock

“In this virtual world, you’ll find glimpses of the real place, hints and impressions of it. To recreate any more than a tiny corner of the variety that exists in the landscapes there would be impossible, so Sombre Nyx (sombrenyx) focused on the creation of a sense of place, one reflective of all the beauty found on the islands.“

Impressions of Endless 58-58N (4) – the docks and the puffin rock

Endless 58-58N has a lot of little details to discover. I like to mention the sign warning of falling stones when you walk at the foot of one of the cliffs, or a little robot made of iron sheets that stands admist the cliffs. And there’s the sign warning of puffins wich have occupied one of the cliffs.
I didn’t see though the small framed oval mirrors that are supposedly located in various parts of Orkney and should work are teleporters.
As Sombre told me later the mirrors can be found:
– on the outside wall of the garage building next to the farmhouse
– on the Ground by a large rock near the hillside painter’s easel
– at the entry to Nightfall, on the ground to your left as you walk towards the house
… and you can also click the broken telephonw box vy the docks for a TP menu, if you wish.

Impressions of Endless 58-58N (5) – the café pier and the cosy beach

I visited the docks and the farmhouse, both are offering many many details and you can sense all the work that went into both. I had fun taking a closer look. The only place that doesn’t really fit to Endless 58-58N or the Orkney Islands is the café pier, which looks a bit Mediterrean. It does offer a great backbround for pictures nonetheless.

Impressions of Endless 58-58N (6) – the farmhouse and the sheeps

In the notecard you find the landmarks to the 3 main destinations of Endless 58-58N: the camping (landing point), the docks and the farmhouse. And there are 2 more landmarks that lead to platforms in the skies above.

Nightfall “is an evening retreat for rest and relaxation, intentionally very different in appearance from the main land of Orkney.” It has a touch af Asia and of luxury, a place to sit with your loved one, to get a massage or to have a romoantic evening with a glass of wine.

Impressions of Nightfall – a romantic place so different from Endless 58-58N

The other additional landmark is the Red House, “a fantasy world of winter, Red House is a collection of vignettes, small scenes that might be part of a larger story.“

Impressions of the Red House, a Winter fantasy world

Endless 58-58N is a beautiful sim that provides an impression of the beauty of the Orkney Islands. I’ve never been there but it inspried me to read a bit about the Orkney Islands on wikipedia and the pictures I saw there did fit with my impressions in Second Life. I enjoyed my visit a lot and I had fun exploring the two extra places on the sky platforms. Thank you Sombre Nyx (sombrenyx) for creating this beautiful sim.

Diary 2020 (63) April 30th/May 1st Relaxed days

Mistress Jenny and I spent most of our hour in the afternoon on Thursday, April 30th, in our loft skybox. We had quite something to catch up and Mistress had fun demonstrating her absolute control. We went to Heavy Bondage Club for just 20 minutes and that’s it already about our afternoon hour.

April 30th: Mistress Jenny and Diomita at our loft skybox and at Heavy Bondage Club

We had quite a full house again at night. Angelique, slave Gwendi and slave Flo had gathered at the games tables. Angelique was wearing a really hot latex dress exposing her plastic panties, she wore cuffs and her pacifier gag. Mistress Jenny was being nice and locked her pacifier gag. We discussed possible activities for the night but started off with a round of skipee with 5 people. I was a comparably quick game that Angelique won.

April 30th: Mistress Jenny, Angelique and Diomita with slave Flo and slave gwendi

We went to Mesmerize Dungeon later and had fun looking at people and chit chatting. slave Gwendi had to pee and as I had to pee myself I took her back home. While she was peeing outside, I went to our bathroom. When I picked up slave Gwendi she said “I saw you were peeing too, Mistress”. She must have known better – peeking at me while I pee? When I returned to Mesmerize Dungeon with slave Gwendi, she was gagged and I had restricted her IM again, just a light punishment. Mistress Jenny enjoyed and asked slave Gwendi to take a picture next time she peeks at me peeing *laughs*
Ann and later also slave BB (Ebony Massey) joined us at MD. We stayed until flotime, then returned home and off to bed.

Friday, May 1st, I met Mistress Jenny shortly in the later morning at club Domme a Domme. We caught up and went off soon again to turn to our RL. We spent the afternoon with slave BB (Ebony Massey) and took a bit closer to us, we made her cuffs working with our master keys and we took her to our dungeon and pierced her with a septum ring – our Big Black slave *winks*

Oh .. and there are news from Puddle whore, not much though but we stay in touch and informed…:
“Dear Mistress Jenny, PuddleWhore is well. Mistress Amy is stretching and opening up PuddleWhore’s abilities more widely every day. PuddleWhore is doing her best to shine. Though, in all reality, there isn’t much that PuddleWhore can do. At all. PuddleWhore attempted and failed to comprehend how PuddleWhore got into this helpless and vulnerable situation when just a few short weeks ago, PuddleWhore was in control of entire crowds, teasing them and instigating trouble at will at any moment. But these memories have faded into a distant haze. Maybe just a figment of PuddleWhore’s imagination?!? PuddleWhore has no idea what lays ahead but that doesn’t really matter as PuddleWhore has no say in the matter. And therefore, PuddleWhore decided not to think about it too much. As these thoughts can really scare you. PuddleWhore wants to be trained well and is doing her very very best to behave. With love, PW   xoxoxox“

May 1st: Mistress Jenny, Angelique, Diomita, slave Gwendi and slave Flo getting ready for our Friday night party

And Friday night? Party of course! Mistress Jenny and I proposed a theme “It’s another friday, so or course we’re having another party. It’s raining so wear some plastic or bring a raincoat and come dance with us. Dj V is spinning the tunes.”

May 1st – Friday night party: slave Gwendi, Mistress Jenny, Diomita, Angelique, slave Flo, slave BB (Ebony Massey), Baroness Capelo, Claven Albatros, papafox57 (upper row), Ajnola, illa Quan, Virgo Babii, Diable (Orson Neutron), Della Randt, Starry Starship, Hotaru (rmfsim361), Claire (maddh4tt3r), Jammy (navanaxsacratus) (lower row)

Art in Second Life 2020 (26) Eta’s Feed Your Fetish Gallery

14 May 2020 6 Comments

by diomitamaurer in Art in Second Life Tags: , ,

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).

Eta’s Feed Your Fetish Gallery (1)

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.

Eta’s Feed Your Fetish Gallery (2)

etamae uses the pictures she took at Second Life and processes them to create her artwork. Some of the poses look familiar to me, yet etamae perfectionized the pictures and added more erotic touch by light and shadow and at least for some of her pictures by adding a word or a thought. Her pictures touched me and made me shiver, just at is should be with this kind of art. My pictures taken at Eta’s Feed Your Fetish Gallery tell more than words could do.

Eta’s Feed Your Fetish Gallery (3)

As seen at the April exibition at La Maison d’Aneli etamae’s artistic sprectrum has broadened but I suspect that she still has a passion for erotic art. Etamae has also another gallery to showcase her art, the Extempore Gallery and Lounge, another gallery I might visit soon.

Eta’s Feed Your Fetish Gallery (4)

Thank you for your “Feed Your Fetisch Gallery“. I really enjoyed my visit there, etamae

Diary 2020 (62) April 28th/29th At Floville Bowling Center

Mistress and I had one and a half hour together Tuesday, April 28th, in the afternoon. We spent it with slave Luci decorating us at Heavy Bondage Club. Beside that we both, Mistress Jenny and I, were disturbed by our RL for quite a while, we had a relaxed time, really just catching up and talking about outfits and profiles. And we discussed potential SL-activities for the night and in general.

My and our night started unexpectedly. I was inworld early and was involved in a roleplay, nothing that I want to report here so far. It is already going on a few days. When Mistress came inworld I was still tied up in the play and she insisted that I am to enjoy it. Long story short, when I finally arrived home, Mistress Jenny was playing skipee with Angelique, slave Gwendi and slave Flo – and I watched them play until they had finished.

After the game we went to Floville. We wanted to play bowling and I knew from my simploring that there’s a bowling center (read here). We had fun and played on two lanes. When we had finished Angelique left to bed and we, Mistress Jenny, slave Gwendi, slave Flo and I, played another round on one lane. Ann joined us and played for herself.

Unfortunately slave Gwendi had some technical issues and missed the target quite often. Good for her that we had no side bet *winks*. When we finally returned home it was already way over flotime.

April 28th: Mistress Jenny and Diomita with Angelique, slave Gwendi and slave Flo at Floville Bowling Center / Mistress Jenny and Diomita at Mature Dommes

Mistress and I went to Mature Dommes and Mistress had her way with me there .. and I got another fix. And that’s it about a varied Tuesday in SL.

Our Wednesday, April 29th, was similar at least in the afternoon. Mistress and I went to Heavy Bondage Club to catch up with our news and soon had slave Luci kneeling at our side, inbetween also Ann decrated us being a rubber doll again. We had a relaxed time, chit chatting, reading profiles and looking at outfits.

At night I had a short continuation of the above mentioned roleplay but was at home when Mistress came inworld. We had a really full house. Angelique, slave Gwendi, slave Flo and slave Luci were inworld and we went seeing them. After all hugs and subhugs we decided to have a skipee first. It was the first time we played with 6 people building 3 teams: Mistress Jenny/Angelique, slave Gwendi/slave Luci and Diomita/slave Flo. slave Gwendi taught slave Luci how to play as it was her first time playing skipee. It became a close game and it lasted one full hour. We had just finished when slave slut cecy showed up.

We decided to go to Gravity (TheriaEriker)’s party at Caged Elegance although it was about to end already. And indeed, when we arrived just Gravity and Cleo (Cleopatra Minoptra), the host were still there. It was quite a little hold up when we all almost flooded the dance floor at once. And Gravity couldn’t reject to play music a bit longer for us. In the end we stayed until flotime and we had fun. After all it was a relaxed and enjoyable night.

Mistress Jenny and I retreated to your loft skybox for a bit of togetherness before bed. And we crowned the night with getting our fix … we both got it. Thank you, Mistress

Art in Second Life 2020 (25) The Magical Rooms by mrs. & Mr. S.

12 May 2020 1 Comment

I had a bit of spare time Monday, May 11th, and decided to visit the Itakos Project and Art Gallery and to see “The Magical Rooms by mrs. & Mr. S.“.

“The Magical Rooms” is an installation of 4 different rooms, two of them are at the Itakos Project and Art Gallery and two others are located in the skies of Obscure Desires, an adult homestead sim owned by Maloe Vansant. You start your visit at the Itakos Project and Art Gallery. It is recommended to set your windlight to “midnight”, to switch on “sun/moon and projectors”, to switch sound on and music off before your go to the first room.

Room one contains a marine setting. The room has no windows, the walls are of grey stone, nothing distracts from the single scene that is installed at the end of the room and lightend by a spotlight. Three chairs invite to sit down and watch. But what is it? A barbwire fence and colourful jelly fishes, red blue yellw and purple. The spotlight and the shadows liven up the scene the jelly fishs contract and expand. You see the water, the beach but no sun, no wind, no clouds and you hear the rushing sea. The colours and light with the simple grey background has something magic.

“The Magical Rooms by mrs. & Mr. S.” – Room 1

To continue your visit you have to use the green bicycle in front of the room. Room 2 is again a simple room with no windows, instead of a door there’s a curtain of chains. The room is brightly lightened by several moving spotlights. Lying dolls suspended by chains hoover in the room. It took a while for me that all dolls are the same, some are of dark colour though. All wear blindfolds. There’s a chair to sit down and watch how the spotlights change the focus and the shadows, you hear the noise of chains, of opening doors. It is a bizzare scene, scaring to some extent and at the same time peaceful.

“The Magical Rooms by mrs. & Mr. S.” – Room 2

Room 3 is also bizarre and it is again installed in a room without any window. It’s full inside, full of bats. In one corner is a tree that almost fills the rest of the room, Its white leaves cover the ceiling and at the first moment I thought there were white bats hanging from the ceiling. A few suspended hanging chairs to sit hang in the tree. The spots light the room throwing even more bats as shadows on the walls. For me a bizarre scene that impressed me but I didn’t feel well in it.
Funny Remark: After this post was published, I had a nice conversation with mrs S (lauralar) and she told me that I totally misinterpreted room 3. What I identified as bats are roses!! I must have missed the smell of roses and I might have felt much better with the knowledge that it were roses and not bats *winks*

“The Magical Rooms by mrs. & Mr. S.” – Room 3

Room 4 was my favourite. Actually it is more than just one room, it is a house with windows and inside you find several surrealistic scenes, artfully showcased with spotlights and shadows. A feast for the eyes. A few almost holographic persons stand, work and sit there, some art is showcased in display cases. The sound reminded me of chill music yet you also here voices and when you go outside on the terrace you hear ainmals and feel like being in the jungle. There’s a lot to discover!
Another remark from my conversation with mrs S: What you see in room 4 is inspired by mrs. & Mr. S.’s real life and their passion.

“The Magical Rooms by mrs. & Mr. S.” – Room 4 (1)

Who is mrs. S. and Mr.S?
You can grab at notecard at the Itakos Project and Art Gallery with a bit of information:
mrs S (lauralar) was “driven by her fascination for colours, light, objects in rooms and initially merely taking pictures of their combination, mrs. S. discovered her love to design those rooms by herself in the first place. Thus she evolved from a picture maker to a storyteller in her very own way: The idea of a room or space and what it is filled with, as a well designed silent witness of human relations, needs and yearning.”
Mr S. (saka infinity) is “an intense partner in discussing the impact of those rooms and became a congenial contributor to the overall experience by using his capability as a musician and light magician. As at various occasions before he brings his magical and sensitive soundtracks and lights to these rooms and by that adding another dimension to it: RL sound recordings, collages and beautifully spheric electronic harmonies make these rooms literally “3D” simply by letting our ears participate.“

“The Magical Rooms by mrs. & Mr. S.” – Room 4 (2)

There were more people involved in realizing “The Magical Rooms by mrs. & Mr. S.“:
Maloe Vansant who provided space at her sim Obscure Desires,
Akim Alonzo, the owner of the Itakos Project and Art Gallery,
Violet Boa, who works at the gallery and helped realising this installation,
Moon Edenbaum, who did the writing (I assumme of the notecard), and
Konrad Van Arbenlow (Kaiju Kohime), who provided some of his unique objects to work with.

Thank you mrs S (lauralar) and Mr S. (saka infinity) for your “Magical Rooms“, that impressed me. I enjoyed my visit a lot.
“The Magical Rooms by mrs. & Mr. S.” should be opened for a visit until end of June.

Simploring 2020 (36) Hotel del Salto

11 May 2020 1 Comment

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

For my simploring tour Thursday, May 7th, I picked Hotel del Salto from scoop.it SL Destinations. Hotel del Salto in Second Life is owned by Jade Koltai who also designed this place on a moderate homestead.
Jade Koltai built many extraordinairy places together with Serene Footman, places you usually never get to, weired and outstanding places with history. They both now make their own designs (at least for the time being). Last year I visited Huntington Beach by Jade Koltai and I was excited about it (read here).

To say it right in the beginning. I am also excited about Hotel del Salto. Once again it is a place in Second Life that was built after a place in the physical world. It is “a hotel built in 1923 by a French architect with a view of a waterfall, being also the discharge of the sewers of Bogota in Colombia. Other legends haunt this place” (landmark description)

Hotel del Salto – overview / at the landing point

The Hotel Del Salto was previously built as a mansion in 1923. The architect who added the magnificence to the design of the Mansion was Carlos Arturo Tapias. The exterior was designed by using French architecture. In 1928 the Mansion was rebuilt as a luxurious Hotel Del Salto. The major reason to build this hotel was to attract the well-off travellers visiting the amazing Tequendama Falls. (source: worldfortravel) The Tequendama Falls (Spanish: Salto del Tequendama) is a 132 metres (433 ft) high waterfall of the Bogotá River, located 32 kilometres (20 mi) southwest of Bogotá (source: wikipedia).

Hotel del Salto and Tequendama Falls, Columbia

The hotel was abandoned in the 1990ies most probably because of the smell of the Bogotá River, which was one of the dirtiest rivers in the world. But there were also stories that the hotel was  haunted maybe because the waterfalls also attracted people who committed suicide.
Nowadays the Hotel del Salto is a museum for biodiversity and it is again a tourist attraction.

WoW … the first impression when you land on the street that leads to the hotel is already overwhelming. You see this outstanding building on the edge of a deep canyon, the moutains in the background, the atmosphere is a bit hazy, the nature is flourishing.

Jade built the hotel not in its state of today but as the ruin that it was for many years. The nature has taken back the building, grass is growing through the cracks of the ground, windows are broken, ceilings broken. Nonetheless when you go inside you can still grasp how luxurious it once was.

Hotel del Salto – outside and inside

Hotel del Salto – inside

But that is by far not all. Exploring the waterfalls and the canyon is great fun and from what I saw on pictures of the real place, it is quite well how it looks in reality. But in Second life you can hike without any danger of falling. From the hotel stairs lead down into the canyon. On the half way down is the first lookout to the waterfalls and it is a really nice play to stay and take a break.

Hotel del Salto – Impressions of exploring the Canyon (1)

You can decide to continue your walk over the high bridge or further down to the canyon. I went down first and enjoyed the view looking up. And I went very close to the waterfall and literally got wet by the spray of the falls. In the canyon there’s another terrace which was well visited during my visit.

Hotel del Salto – Impressions of exploring the Canyon (2)

Walking over the high bridge takes you the the opposed side of the hotel and there’re again several outlooks. At one I stayed a bit longer and even had a short conversation amoung tourists with a guy who sat there enjoying the view. I couldn’t get enough of this canyon and the views!

Hotel del Salto – a break with view on the falls

I went back to the hotel and walked to the side opposed to the falls. And there I found another outlook, well hidden by dense bushes. That’s “my” place there *winks*.

Hotel del Salto – more impressions and my favourite spot

I recommend to read about the Tequendama Falls and about the hotel (a good first source is the text in worldfortravel or the website of thevintagenews that is mentioned in the landmark description) before you visit. It will add to your experience when you visit Hotel del Salto in Second Life.

Thank you Jade for another great place, that I might never see in reality. But now I feel as if I’ve been there already. What a great trip in these crazy times.

Diary 2020 (61) April 26th/27th Pole dance at Psi’s / The Bondage Tree

I met Mistress Jenny once again in the earlier morning on Sunday, April 27th, and we went visiting Puddle whore (formerly known as Kitty Maurer). She lives in a vault at the Black Widow Academy and we had a look at her new environment. We could hear Puddle’s moans from inside of the vault and Mistress and I had fun teasing Puddle whore. That was a lovely start into our Sunday. We went to Heavy Bondage Club afterwards and slave Luci joined us there for a bit before we returned into our RL.

In the afternoon I had another hour together with Mistress and we spent it at Puerto Esclava chatting and ooking at profiles and making some plans. At night we met slave Gwendi and slave Flo at home. slave Gwendi got a new wig and I had unlocked her hood. The new wig had to me extra glued on her bald head but it was worth the effort, it looks great. Mistress Jenny and I played a skipee with the slaves (slave Gwendi and I won it) and went to Mesmerize Dungeon. slave slut came inworld and Argi and Taylor (Historic Bracula) joined as there – then Mesmerize Dungeon crashed and it took a while to collect everybody again.

We went to Psi’s realm and as slut was eager to be Mistress Jenny’s chair I rezzed a chair. And Mistress asked me to rezz more. In the end Mistress sat on slave slut cecy, Argi sat on slave Flo and I sat on slave Gwendi. We had it very comfy and it felt like being at a theatre – just no show as Psi’s realm was not that well visited that night.

April 26th: Mistress Jenny, slave slut cecy, Argi, slave Flo, Diomita and slave gwendi watching Pammy (Pamela Emmons)’s dance show at Psi’s realm

But Pammy (Pamela Emmons) was present and as I asked for a show – we got one! Pamela danced for us in different ways, she stripped, she wore her chastity belt and bra (and I could not resist from locking it), she rezzed a dance pole and at tip jar and later a dance table. And she really entertained us well. What an unexpected night! Mistress Jenny, Argi and I enjoyed the show while drinking a glass of wine. And we stayed until flotime before we all returned home and went to bed. Sometimes with no exact plan, you do have a fun night.

Monday, April 27th, I met with Mistress in the later afternoon and I had a lot to catch up with Mistress. I had been online a bit longer the night before and had had a great roleplay that kept me inworld way longer than I had expected. Angelique was present and as we hadn’t see her for quite a while we met her close to the landing point at our home. We just talked and exchanged news, then we went to Heavy Bondage Club for 30 minutes before it was time to return to our RL’s.

At night it was full at home! One after the other came inworld: slave BB (Ebony Massey), slave Luci, slave Flo, slave Gwendi, Angelique and Ann. Just the right time to try out a new toy that I got recently: a bondage tree for up to 5 subs. Unfortunately Angelique did not join the fun. Mistress Jenny and I took the slaves to our Stonehaven patio and I rezeed the bondage tree. What followed was “hard work”.

April 27th: Mistress Jenny and Diomita with slave BB (Ebony Massey), slave Luci, slave Flo, slave Gwendi, Angelique and Ann at home

The tree has to be “filled” step by step and that’s when it becomes busy for a domme. slave Gwendi needed to pee, slave BB was not in RLV, slave Luci crashed, Ann was not wearing her gear ….. that combined with some IMs and you don’t know what to do first *winks*. On the other hand it was fun (Why else should one do that for?) and I got some nice pictures.

After all were nicely tied up, Mistress and I could relax and enjoy a bit, then we helped the slaves to get up and went to Mesmerize Dungeon to wind down.

Unfortunately Mistress had some trouble with her Maitreya body that she had messed up by accident and she couldn’t enjoy winding down at Mesmerize Dungeon. She had just fixed it when it was flotime and we had to return home. We retreated to our skybox and Mistress had her way to wind down – getting licked by me (and I got my fix, that I needed).

Art in Second Life 2020 (24) Social Distancing by Bryn Oh and Cica Ghost

Yesterday I got an invitation from Cica Ghost who has opened her newest art work that she created together with Bryn Oh: Social Distancing. I went there right the next day, May 7th, 2020.

The landing is at Bryn Oh’s sim Immersiva in a box that is also the starting point when visiting Bryn Oh’s installation “Hand”. There’s a board for “Social Distancing” that leads to a platform, where you find Cica’s and Bryn’s installation “Social Distancing“.

Impressions of “Social Distancing by Cica Ghost and Bryn Oh” – around the Landing and meeting the Corona Monster

The theme of “Social Distancing” is of course the current situation most of us are suffering of right now, the Corona virus. But it is done in the typcial Cica way, conjuring a smile in everybody’s face nonetheless – at least in mine. The Cica houses have become small in comparision to humans. One person occupies one house and they keep distance from eachother. Homing pigeons carry the messages between the people. In the background you hear chimes and voices saying “hello”. The scene is installed in a dark forest, you wade mostly through knee deep water if you don’t use the paths that are made of stones. The houses are on hills at a clearing.

Impressions of “Social Distancing by Cica Ghost and Bryn Oh” – meeting the Corona Monster, the red canoe, the houses and the gatcha

And of course there are Corona viruses, the Corona Monsters. They are big and don’t look really nice, no wonder that the humans stay at home! Nonetheless the scene is not scary though. On the water you also find a read canoe, made for social distancing. You can purchase the items used for creating “Social Distancing” at a Gatcha for 80 L$, and if you’re lucky you get the canoe.

Anything else? Yes, I saw no Cica cat :-(. And try to sit in one of the two empty houses and become a part of the community.

I enjoyed my visit and I like how Cica and Bryn have transformed our current situation into Second Life. Thank you both for this piece of art.

Art in Second Life 2020 (23) “Phenomenal Women” by Cecilia Nansen and Maloe Vansant

I got an invitation to visit “Phenomenal Women” in the white pavillon at Itakos Project and Art Gallery. “Phenomenal Women” is an exhibtion of two second life photographers, Cecilia Nansen and Maloe Vansant. Together they selected pictures to illustrate a poem about women, that was written by the African American poet Maya Angelou.

“Maya Angelou (April 4, 1928 – May 28, 2014) was an American poet, singer, memoirist, and civil rights activist. She published seven autobiographies, three books of essays, several books of poetry, and is credited with a list of plays, movies, and television shows spanning over 50 years, she was a cast member of the opera Porgy and Bess, the English-language work by the American composer George Gershwin. Actress, writer, director, and producer of plays, movies, and public television programs, was active in the Civil Rights Movement and worked with Martin Luther King and Malcolm X.” (taken from the notecard available at the exhibition)

“Phenomenal Women” by Cecilia Nansen and Maloe Vansant at Itakos Project and Art Gallery (1)

Maloe Vansant joined Second Life in 2007, a new world for her who had never played games or joined any social network site: “After creating little Maloe, my barbie doll, my pixel soul, I discovered the possibility of making snapshots and I started to make a graphic diary of Maloe’s journey in Second Life, showing the emotions she experienced in this pixel world. I think I succeeded in doing this by using some post processing in Photoshop. I am not a woman of many words, I try to express myself, my feelings, my passion and probably my dark side through my pictures.“

Cecilia Nansen joined Second Life over ten years ago, but took a long break from it. She returned four years ago and found her passion for pictures and learned how to process them. Cecilia and Maloe are close friends. Their style is different. And you can clearly identify which picture was taken by whom. There’s one exception though. On the second floor on the exhibition are a few pictures showing Maloe and Cecilia together and you can’t tell which was done by who. Actually they both made some of them.

“Phenomenal Women” by Cecilia Nansen and Maloe Vansant at Itakos Project and Art Gallery (3)

The poem accompanies the exhibition and vice versa. It is written on the floor of the gallery and you get the full text in a notecard as well. I really like the poem and it’s rhytym and the pictures selected to accompany the poem express the phenomenon very well. They’re never explicit and always leave room for a little mystery, yet transport the beauty and the gracie of women.

Thank you Akim (Akim Alonzo) and Violet (Violet Boa) for enabling “Phenomenal Women” and thank you Maloe and Cecilia for realizing it. I enjoyed my visit.
