I visited the Wonderland Art Gallery & Cafe which displays art made by second life artists Norton Lykin, Nevereux, Bryn Oh and Mistero Hifeng. In the landmark description you find the following wisdom to accompany you during your visit to the gallery “Life is a story, choose wisely how you tell it“. Wonderland Art Gallery & Cafe is owned by Norton Lykin. One room of the gallery features the art of Nevereux, the other rooms feature Norton’s own work. I found on statue from Bryn Oh and on of Mistero Hifeng.

I first came across Norton Lykin when I visited La Masion d’Aneli in November 2019 (Simploring 2019 (108) La Maison d’Aneli – November 2019). Norton is with over 12 years a SL veteran. He’s living in Denmark and took up his art activities after his retirement as a system programmer. He sees life as a journey “The ideas we have and the history we tell. Reality is not a scientific truth but as we understand it in every given moment.”
This journey of life is Norton’s theme. I saw one picture and text about it at the above mentioned exhibtion at La Maison d’Aneli and the same picture is a centerpiece of Norton’s Wonderland Art Gallery.

Fluxing Reality by Norton Lykin. The statue on the outer right is by Mistero Hifeng (Tutto il resto e’… gia’…Poesia), next to it is a statue from Byrn Oh called Vera Lynnbot (silent)

One room on the ground floor features the work of Nevereux, an artist who I came across twice so far. Firstly visiting doLLoureux at Daphne.Arts (read here) and secondly at La Maison d’Aneli (Simploring 2018 (97) Another joined exhibition at La Maison d’Aneli). His room at the Wonderland Gallery shows 2D and 3D art objects. Outstanding is a row of presentation boxes opened to present little art objects, from a simple glass of wine, a butterly, an earth globe (moving to Mars), a duck ….
On the other side is a 3D installation held in black consisting of globes, flowers and a fish. I won’t try to interpret, I just enjoyed the forms and colours and the row of presentation boxes conjured a smile in my face as some of them are funny.

Impressions Nevereux’ room at Wonderland Art Gallery

The main entrance hall and the second room on the groud floor as well as the entire 2nd floor presents Norton Lykin’s own art, showing pictures playing with colours and shadows, or little 3D scenes and some statues. At the stairway you find a large picture obviously taken at an installion of Theda Tammas named “the Womb” (I missed that).

On the second floor you also find the café, a nice place to relax or maybe to talk about the art you just saw.

I enjoyed my visit to Wonderland Art Gallery & Cafe. Thank you Norton for presenting your art along with the art of other second life artists!

Diary 2020 (25) February 17th/18th Back under Mistress’ heels

Monday, Feburary 17th, I spend an hour inworld in the afternoon. slave Luci was present and I took her to Heavy Bondage Club. After a while not just slave Luci was decorating me but also Poison Fishnet. I had some chats and simply enjoyed.

February 17th: Diomita with slave Luci and Poison Fishnet at Heavy Bondage Club / Mistress Jenny, Diomita, Angelique, slave Gwendi, slave Luci and Lady Sidonia (Luzie Nymphea) at Mesmerize Dungeon

At night Angelique was inworld at home. I hadn’t seen her for a while now as she was (and still is) prevented from getting inworld as much as she used to be. Hence we had a bit to catch up. slave Gwendi and slave Luci were also present and Angelique, slave Gwendi, slave Luci and I played a round of greedy.
When we had finished Mistress Jenny was inworld as well. We went to Mesmerize Dugeon and chatted amoung us while watching the scenery. And after slave Luci and Angelique had left for bed, Lady Sidonia (Luzie Nymphea) came by.
Sidonia creates BDSM gear and furniture mostly for rubber and latex fetishists. She told me that she has almost finished a new piece of furniture, a bench with some nice restritions and kinky animations. She offered a presenation of it with slave Gwendi and thus we (and the other guests at Memerize Dungeon) got to see a nice show. slave Gwendi did well but was a bit exhausted afterwards.

February 17th: Mistress Jenny and Diomita watching Lady Sidonia (Luzie Nymphea) presenting her newest BDSM equipment with slave Gwendi as guinea pig

After the show we went home as it was already late. Mistress and I retreated to our skybox. I had been allowed wearing the partnering collar for about a full week, hence it didn’t really suprise me that Mistress Jenny exchanged my partnering collar with the sub collar again. Nonetheless it immediately reminded me of my position and Mistress. But everyday life at Mistress feet started nicely and enjoyable as I was allowed to lick Mistress and to get my fix. Thank you, Mistress Jenny

February 17th: Mistress Jenny and Diomita at home

I had an intense afternoon with Mistress on Tuesday, February 18th. A few weeks ago Mistress said that she could just snip with her fingers and I would kneel for her and obey. When I met Mistress that afternoon she literally snipped her fingers. I had just given her a subhug to greet her when she ordered me to wear the thin chastity belt. I obeyed yet I looked up pleadingly to her hoping that I could convince her not to lock it. Mistress Jenny noticed my reluctance and reprimanded me not to make it worse. She would just lock it and not add the shield, yet she could add the shield any time. That said I had to kiss her boots and her butt before we went to club Domme a Domme. Mistress had pushed me deep into subspace with just some gestures and a belt around my waist. And I could sense how she enjoyed her control.
It took a while until I calmed down accepting that everything I’d say or do would make it way worse. We went on to Heavy Bondage Club and then back home as our hour in the afternoon was already over again. Mistress left some orders for me as she was absent at night. She knew that I would do exactly what she ordered and I did.

February 18th: Mistress Jenny and Ehesklavin Diomita at home and at club Domme a Domme

I spent the night with slave Gwendi. I had bought a new toilet from Lady Sidonia (Luzie Nymphea)’s store and placed it in our rubber dungeon room. slave Gwendi was the right victim for me that night to vent off after my intense afternoon with Mistress. I did not only try out the new toilet. I did (ab)use slave Gwendi as my toilet and her tongue as my paper and I enjoyed my power and control (and slave gwendi enjoyed it too *winks*).

February 18th: Diomita and slave Gwendi at home in our rubber dungeon room

After this little session I went to club Domme a Domme and to Mesmerize Dungeon with slave Gwendi. We chatted and enjoyed the views. We met Baroness Capelo at club Domme a Domme and Ann at Mesmerize Dungeon. And I felt a bit more relaxed again.

Simploring 2020 (15) Florence At Low Tide

In March 2019 I visited Florence Bay (Simploring 2019 (34) Florence Bay). When I looked for a destination for simploring at scoop.it SL Destinations on Saturday, February 8th, I came across Maddy Gynoid’s blog post about “Florence At Low Tide” – and the name rang a bell.

Florence Bay was a moderate homestead owned by Gnaaah Xeltentat and Tomaso Franizzi. It was originally designed, created and landscaped by Minnie Atlass. I learned in Maddy’s blogpost that Florence Bay was taken over by it’s designer Minnie Atlass in August 2019 and Minnie integrated it into her sims under the name “Soul2Soul Rapids”.

Florence At Low Tide is the new home of Gnaaah Xeltentat and Tomaso Franizzi. It has been designed and landscaped by Iska (sablina). I have visited quite some sims designed by Iska (sablina), my last visit to one of her creations was La Digue (Simploring 2019 (119) La Digue – an Autumn walk).

Florence At Low Tide – overview

Florence At Low Tide is a moderate homestead, a quiet, peaceful spot somewhere in the Mediterranean, I’d say somwhere in South France (although there’re no tides as far as I know). The landing point is at the shore that has been revealed by the the retreating water during tide. Boats are laying on the ground and some nice citizens have brought loungers and other seating opportunities to the shore.

Impressions of Florence At Low Tide (1) – around the landing point

Impressions of Florence At Low Tide (3) – house with backyard / Bar and event area (lower pictures)

I explored the village that really has a Mediterranean touch. A large villa with pool is close to the landing point. The houses at Florence At Low Tide are typical for the region, most of them are not furnished though. Quite close to the landing is a bar and an event area. I sat down and enjoyed the atmosphere before I walked to the lighthouse. Also on this side of FLorence At Low Tide the tide caused boats to lay on the ground. I peeked inside of a smaller hut and discovered a piano and a nice polstered lounger, hence I called it “Piano hut”

Impressions of Florence At Low Tide (4) – around the lighthouse / the “Piano hut”

Quite outstanding for a Mediterranean setting is the big mountain in the Northeast with a high waterfall. The waterfall feeds a creek that flows into the sea. There’s a balloon hovering above of the waterfall – and you can sit in its gondola and enjoy the view from up there.

Impressions of Florence At Low Tide (5) – upper left shows the mountain with the waterfall / lower left the Villa close to the landing

What I loved most is the area around a small church as it offers all what remembers me of my trips to South France in RL. Lavender, wine and sun flowers and the typical architecture of the houses. Just beautiful. I had the impression I almost could smell the lavender.

Impressions of Florence At Low Tide (6) – Memories of South France – Lavender, wine, sun flowers and the typical architecture

Florence At Low Tide is a beautiful sim, perfect for taking pictures and perfect to wind down and let your mind wander. Thank you Iska (sablina) for the design, thank you Gnaaah Xeltentat and Tomaso Franizzi for sharing your home with the public! I enjoyed my short trip to South France.

Diary 2020 (24) February 14th-16th Seeking and finding trouble

According to Mistress Jenny’s allowance my green light had to end Friday afternoon, February 14th. When I met Mistress Jenny I had to make the most of my last hour in control and I did. Mistress Jenny had changed and wore her dress and ankle ballet boots in pink now – and she wore not panties. A clear sign that she either expected what I had in mind (most likely) or that she was horny (most likely). I tied Mistress on the stand in my annex of our skybox and teased her with my tongue for almost one hour until just a touch of my tongue was enough to get her over the edge. As a intended side effect I got my fix *winks*. While I teased her I could achieve that my next green light will be longer than this one. Maybe if I work on this point I could turn …. well, let’s not think about this.

February 14th: Diomita enjoying the last hour of the green light and takes advantage of Mistress Jenny

I took Mistress from my annex to the main part of our skybox, unlocked her cuffs and collar and ended my green light. Thank you Mistress Jenny!
We went down and met with slave Luci and spent 10 minutes at Mesmerize Dungeon to wind down, then I had to leave to tend to my RL.

February 14th – Friday Night party

At night we had our Firday night party. And of course the theme was Valentine’s Day. We had fun as always starting our weekend with good music, chit-chatting, teasing and dancing.

February 14th – Friday Night party: Della Randt, Starbright Wingtips, vero Hartmann, Sarah Fhang, slave Gwendi, slave Luci, Diomita, Mistress Jenny (upper row), Viper Yedmore, papafox57, illa Quan, Tyra Sciarri, Claire (maddh4tt3r), Baroness Capelo, Virgo Babii (lower row)

Saturday afternoon, February 15th, I met Mistress Jenny at the Lesbian Teahouse. It was quite laggy there and hence we left and went to club Domme a Domme. We caught up and Mistress was up for some fun. We went home and dressed alike. Unfortunately the dress Mistress had in mind for the two of us, didn’t fit for me (I still have to find out why) and so changing took a bit longer. Then we both added our elegance collars and wrist cuffs and left the keys out before we returned to club Domme a Domme. Times have changed since our first days in Second Life when locking and tieing people up was something new and exciting for all. Nowadays it is rare that someone dares to take your keys and to tie you up – and consequently nothing happened. We went on the Heavy Bondage Club – and nothing happened there as well. Luci came by and knelt by our feet and that finished our short afternoon adventure. But it was time for our RL anyway. And we had fun, just by the little danger.

February 15th – Mistress Jenny’s and Diomita’s dangerous game: Mistress Jenny and Diomita at club Domme a Domme and at Heavy Bondage Club with slave Luci

Our night was quiet on one side and busy on the other side. We played a greedy with slave Luci and slave Gwendi and took them to Psi’s realm. Mistress was still in a playful mood and changed her hair to white, while I had changed into something domme and wore black hair. Mistress was still wearing her cuffs, I wasn’t. Mistress played with her old Mysti tool and impersonated me and the slaves. She made them ask to be chastitied until 2021 *grins. So that was fun.

February 15th: Mistress Jenny’s and Diomita in switched roles at Psi’s realm with slave Luci and slave Gwendi

At the same time I had several IMs, mostly praising my dominant outfit and Mistress and I had a conversation with T., our potential host for a short holiday together as subs. We set up a meeting for the next night. And I told slave Gwendi, that we would be off the next night.

Sunday neither Mistress nor I had time inworld during the day and at night I met with the mysterious T. Mistress Jenny joined us after a while. The roleply started slowly while T showed us her private retreat. There were some toys but really not many and I already wondered how the night would turn out. T. talked about kinky games yet she didn’t seem to dare starting any play and her place seemed ot be more for vanilla play. That all ended when T. showed us her underground. T went ahead and following her Mistress and I found ourselves trapped into a cage with no way out. T. was in charge and the atmosphere changed. She layed out her rules and forced Mistress and me to hand over the keys of our cuffs. Mistress had to strip and was fixed on a kind of an examination chair and T. ordered me to tease and lick her. Too bad that Mistress Jenny had to leave due to an early start the next day. Hence the session was shorter than T. had planned. But nonetheless Mistress Jenny and I enjoyed the roleplay a lot and appreciated to give up any control for a limited time.

Simploring 2020 (14) Alpha Moon

When I looked for a destination for my simploring tour on Tuesday, January 28th, I came across Maddy Gynoid’s “Simtipp: Alpha Moon” on scoop.it SL Destinations.

Alpha Moon is a moderate full region owned by Zel Colton (zeldonix). Zel Colton is the owner of Colton Design, a shop offering poses and animations. Zel also offers terraforming, landscaping and sim designing. I assume that Alpha Moon is also kind of a showcase for Zel’s service – to start with Alpha Moon is a beautiful sim full of great views, nice spots to sit, cuddle and enjoy and with a lot to explore and discover.

Alpha Moon – overview

I read in Zel’s profile that he’s also involved in Bloodlines (a quite popular roleplay about vampires), but you won’t see anything of it at Alpha Moon (at least I didn’t see anything). According to Maddy Gynoid’s blogpost the Bloodline acitivities have moved to a sky platform at Alpha Moon.

Impressions of Alpha Moon (1) – at the Landing Point / the old ship / the Stonehedge circle of stones

Alpha Moon‘s landmark description gives away what to expect: “Nature, Woodland, Romance, Hangout, Dancing, Cuddle spot, Alpha Moon, Beach, Parks & Nature, Newcomer friendly, Outdoor, Bar, Lake, Relax, Photography Spot, 7Seas fishing, Greedy“.
Alpha Moon consists of several connected islands which are all close together. At the landing point is an area with games. A trail leads around the whole sim and I followed it.

Impressions of Alpha Moon (2) – the Retreat “1” and the Gazebo “1”

My tour began with the old ship. You should have a look inside, it is furnished. I saw a Stonehedge circle of stones and had a look at the gazebo 1 (as there’s a second gazebo I numbered them. You find a bubble in that gazebo and you can sit in it. My next stop was a smaller hut, which I called Retreat 1 (again, there’re more buildings that invite to retreat, to sit and enjoy.

Impressions of Alpha Moon (3) – the Retreat “2” and “3” by the pond

The trial led me to a pond with just beautiful views. There’re two more houses inviting you to sit as well as a lovely wooden terrace reaching out to the pond. I came to a clearing and saw some horses grazing peacfully in front of a manor. As there’s no private sign nor any other indication that you shouldn’t visit I had a peek inside. The manor is not (yet?) fully furnished but some rooms are.
Not far from the manor is the Colton Design store. It fits well into the sim design. In the center of the store is an exhibition room with pictures most probably taken at Alpha Moon. And of course you can buy poses and animations there.

Impressions of Alpha Moon (4) – the Colton Desgin store and the manor

I visited the Bar&Dance place and on my way to the lighthouse I found the second gazebo hidden in the forest. A great place to retreat. From there I followed the river, enjoyed more really beautiful views and came to the church. Again you should have a look inside sa it is furnished and looks quite real inside. Close to the church is a nice place for couple, a heart that you can use to cuddle while enjoying the views.

Impressions of Alpha Moon (5) – at the Pond / the Bar&Dance / the Gazebo “2”

Almost at the end of my tour I came to a large outdoor event area surrounded by ruins. And before I returned to the landing point I found another 2 love nests.

Impressions of Alpha Moon (6) – the church / the event area and one of the love nests

Alpha Moon is a beautiful romantic place, it offers innumerable opportunities to retreat, sit and cuddle. It offers great views and perfect backgrounds to taking outdoor pictures in a almost perfect environment. I really enjoyed my visit a lot (and took many pictures). Thank you Zel Colton (zeldonix) for creating and in particular for sharing your place with the public.

Diary 2020 (23) February 12th/13th Two days in control

21 Feb 2020 Leave a comment

Wednesday, February 12th, the day after my 12th rezzday anniversary, I took control of my Mistress. Mistress had granted a green light as a kind of a rezzday present and I intended to make the most of it again. When we met in the afternoon, I locked an elegance collar around her neck, cuffed her and took her to the Shibari cabin at Cage Elegance. I had tried out the equipment there ahead of our visit. I made Mistres Jenny strip and attached rope cuffs and a crotch rope harness. Then I suspended my property in a frame. I teased her and I fucked her hard, I had my way with her and enjoyed control and Mistress enjoyed her helplessness and her orgasm.

Before Mistress could recover after I helped her back on her feet, I took her to a large bondage bed, tied her up there and licked her to her next orgasm – and got my fix this way in addition (no picture as the pose was a bit weired). I went to club Domme a Domme with Mistress, then it was timeto tend toour RL again.

February 12th: Diomita and Mistress Jenny at the Shibari cabin at Caged Elegance

I ran late at night. Mistress Jenny was waiting for me in the annex of our skybox. We went down seeing slave Flo, slave Gwendi and Ann. Carolyn (serenis) joined us at the games area. I had still a few landmarks to kinky places, that I got from Kitty and her simploring tours. Mistress Jenny, slave Flo, Gwendi, Carolyn and I went to “Degraded factory of Pain & SLAVE Dreams & Lust” first. Kitty has already warned me that it might be a place not fitting to Mistress and my attitudes. And she was right! It was very full and laggy. People were fucking publicly or exposed tied up and suspended. The furniture was dirty and overall it was just disgusting. Not  place to stay longer than necessery.

We went to “City of Tarnburg :: MINDFUCKED Research Labs ::” next. I had met Kitty there a few days ago. To my surprise, we met dani (dani sheryffe) there, a girl that we had already tied up at one of our bondage night. We visited the club and the laboratory. The sim is about hypnosis, hence the name “Mindfucked”. It is well done and the club looks promising. But so far some equipment is still missing and hence it is not opened officially yet.

We returned home to wind down for a bit and played a round of greedy. Mara (Maralyn Corleone) visited us and accompanied us to Mesmerize Dungeon after our game. We had a nice chat and caught up with Mara, then it was bedtime for us.

I spent Thursday afternoon, February 13th, with Mistress Jenny at my feet. When she came inworld I made her wear her cuffs, locked them and gagged her with a tapegag, then I took her to club Domme a Domme to expose her kneeling as my property. We caught up with our news and went on to Heavy Bondage Club. There was more going on, Ann was there with 3 other rubber dolls and two subs approached me. One was surprised that I had my Mistress kneeling at my side *grins*. It is great to be in control and  I once again enjoyed every second of it.

February 13th: Diomita and Mistress Jenny at club Domme a Domme and at Heavy Bondage Club

At night only slave Gwendi was present beside Mistress and me. We decided to take her horse riding and we had fun teasing, fucking and taking what is ours. Afterwards we took slave Gwendi to Mesmerize Dugeon so that she could recover a little bit. Before we logged off I just had to cherish the moment and requested a footkiss from my very owned Mistress Jenny – good girl!

Simploring 2020 (13) Welcome back, Slava – Khodovarikha in Summer

20 Feb 2020 1 Comment

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

Yesterday, Wednesday February 19th, I came across Khodovarikha again when scrolling through scoop.it SL Destinations. I visited this extreme lonely place back in October 2017 (see Simploring 2017 (80) Khodovarikha).

Khodovarikha (in Russian: Ходовариха) is a weather station located on the freezing Barents Sea. Remote and desolate, with a permanent population of just one man, Slava. Witness his ‘arctic limbo’ in one of the loneliest places on earth. Once Khodovarikha was a village and there are a number of buildings scattered around on the sim. The most striking is the lighthouse, built in 1933 and decommissioned in 1996. It is made of timber, which Slava is cannibalising for firewood, and sits high up on a raised section of the land.

Serene Footman, who has a passion for unknown, strange and outstanding places, had brought Khodovarikha alive in Second Life and gathered a lot of information about it so that we could get an impression of it – and not only by reading about it in his blog (read here) and watching a video but also by exploring it in Second Life and thus getting a feeling for the place. That all was back in 2017 and as Serene’s places are temporar and stay about one month (some stay longer, some shorter) Khodovarikha is gone for more than 2 years now.

Khodovarikha in Summer – birds eye view

Welcome back, Slava – Serene Footman has reopened Khodovarikha on Saturday, February 15th. The first Khodovarikha was set up in Winter, the one we can see now is giving us an impression of it during Summer. In the above mentioned video we see that Khodovarikha is a real mess. Serene writes in his new blogpost: “the windswept sand is littered with barrels and crates, as well as miscellaneous bits of rusty salvage. I have often wondered about those barrels – why are there so many of them, and why are they left lying around, quite literally, everywhere … I have wanted to design a summer version of Khodovarikha ever since closing the sim in December 2017.”

Impressions of Khodovarikha in Summer (1) – the “new” abandonned house

When creating Khodovarikha in Summer, Serene added a lot of life, in particular birds, many many birds and thus the place is full of life. As opposed to the first place, the lighthouse is not working anymore this time (like in reality). Serene has found more information about Khodovarikha, in particular he learned that the lighthouse was also used as a place for fun and sports back when Khodovarikha was still a village with at least some more inhabitants and even children. That is why Serene installed a zip line from the top of the lighthouse to the ground – and provides the fun for us visitors as well!

Impressions of Khodovarikha in Summer (2) – climbing up the lighthouse

There’s really a lot to see, explore and to discover at Khodovarikha. I started my visit with exploring the “new” abandoned house close to the lighthouse. Yes, as described by Serene and as could be expected it is a whole mess inside. I sat down close by and enjoyed the strange atmosphere. All over the sim you find places to sit, just that you can breath in the atmosphere of the place. And birds, birds, birds. They have taken over Khodovarikha.

Of course I climbed up to the top of the lighthouse. At one level on your way up you can watch a slideshow with pictures of the real Khodovarikha. Using the zip line is fun by the way.

Impressions of Khodovarikha in Summer (3) – birds, brids, birds

Did I already mention the many birds? The are also noisy (don’t forget to turn your sound on). One larger colony of them is by the water where they have occupied the rocks. Another colony occupied a small pond. I didn’t change the windlight. This ensures that the place still looks not inviting but facinating in its depressiveness despite of all the birds and the corners where you can blind out all the barrels and garbage spread all over of the sim.

Impressions of Khodovarikha in Summer (4) – Ustin’s and Slava’s house

I visited Ustin’s house as well as Slava main living house. I don’t remember the kitchen in the 1st Khodovarikha, but it caught my attention this time. What a mess! It’s hard to believe that someone can live with such a mess (and dirt).

Impressions of Khodovarikha in Summer (5) – the pier, Slava’s garage and other impressions

I also can’t remember that there was a pier and a boat in the 1st Khodovarikha. And for sure Khodovarikha offers may more opportunities to sit and watch this time. That makes sense as it is Summer but on the other hand I can’t imagine that Slava would clean up the place in Winter and bring all the stools and sofas back into his storage garage *winks*.

Finally I played a bit with the windlight and created a sunnier Summer day. This changed the atmosphere a lot! It swept away the melancholy on one side, on the other side the mess and all the garbage are more disturbing the peace.

Impressions of Khodovarikha in Summer (5) – just imagine the sun would shine at Khodovarikha

If you want to visit yourself, you shouldn’t wait to long with a visit as Khodovarika will only stay available for a few weeks.
Thank you so much for realizing Khodovarikha in Summer, Serene. I had a lot of fun exploring and learning more about this strange and outstanding place.

Monday, February 10th, I met with Mistress Jenny in the afternoon and we spent a nice time with slave Luci and slave Flo at Psi’s realm. When there’re some people then there’s always something to watch. This time someone was playing with the Immersion HUD of Silenced transforming a slave into an object, a toilet to be precisely. And of course that led to some main chat. Ann joined us at Psi’s realm for a bit.

When it was time to return to our RL Mistress Jenny and I returned home and Mistress had a particular gift for me. She replaced my Ehesklavin collar with the partnering collar because of my upcomming rezzday the next day. And I was allowed to take another green light very soon after. It does feel very special for me to wear this collar. Thank you Mistress Jenny.

My night was nice and relaxed. Mistress Jenny was prevent from getting inworld. When I came inworld slave Luci, slave Flo and slave Gwendi were playing greedy. I let them finish, then I began to change the slave starting with slave Gwendi. To make it short an hour later slave Gwendi, slave Flo and slave Luci were wearing chastity belts and locked bras all from the same maker along with RR Elegance cuffs. I took a picture, then I went to Mesmerize Dungeon with the slaves for half an hour until it was time for slave Flo to go to bed.

I crowned that night by getting a nice licking from slave Gwendi, kind of a reward for her good behavior lately and kind of a reward for myself *winks*

Tuesday, February 11th, marked my 12th rezzday. Quite a long time, isn’t it? Mistress wrote a lovely and heartwarming comment to my rezzday blog post (read here if you like). I met Mistress Jenny and slave Flo in the afternoon for one hour and we chatted and went to Heavy Bondage Club where we really succeeded in initiating a little bit of main chat. And I enjoyed Mistress Jenny’s and slave Flo’s attention as well as wearing my partnering collar on this occasion.

Mistress Jenny wasn’t inworld at night due to her RL and I was running late myself. slave Flo, slave Gwendi and slave Luci were playing greedy but when I joined slave Gwendi had just logged out. I started the night with a round of greedy and took slave Flo and slave Luci to Mesmerize Dungeon afterwards. Unfortunately slave Flo crashed and didn’t return. And SL played some tricks to me as well – at least slave Luci and I didn’t crash and I took slave Gwendi to Puerto Esclava where I just read profiles and watched while chatting a bit with Luci. Overall, it was a quiet night (but enjoyable nonetheless)

Friday, February 7th, I had an hour with Mistress Jenny in the afternoon. We went to Heavy Bondage Club and caught up with our news there while enjoying the view and looking at profiles and talking about people. Back home in our skybox, Mistress Jenny allowed me to get my fix. And while I licked her she whispered into my ear how much she enjoys my submission to her and to be in control .. how much she likes my Ehesklavin collar … and that I would fall in deeper submission to her with each lick … how true!

Friday night we had our regular party once again. Mistress Jenny had asked me to make a proposal for the theme and I proposed “Pink is the new black” and Virgo accepted it as she had no other plans. Virgo herself wore the old black, some others had really strange interpretations of pink – and we all had fun. Another great start into the weekend.

Saturday, February 8th, was a full but strange day in Second Life. I first went on a longer simploring tour. Afterwards I went to Heavy Bondage Club where Poison approched me. Kitty came online and we had a longer chat. She told me about many kinky, well you could also call it pervert places and gave me landmarks. That could fill a night of kinkploring soon. I went seeing someone (and no I won’t reveal who it was) at club DeLust and then I logged off to tend to my RL.

My night began at home where I joined slave Flo and slave Gwendi playing greedy for one round. I took them to Mesmerize Dungeon where we waited for Mistress Jenny to get inworld but there was really nothing going on and hence we moved to Heavy Bondage Club. Mistress Jenny joined us there later and Mistress and I caught up with our mutual news. Also Dana Darkwatch, who has joined the Friday night party a week ago, and Ann were at Heavy Bondage Club.
And there was a real annoying person at HBC, who force teleported people out to Psi’s realm. How annoying! Mistress Jenny was affected twice and slave Flo also. I finally leashed the slaves by their real restraints which prevented them from being teleported out. I myself blocked all attacks. And Mistress Jenny told this person off and finally filed a report to LL. I doubt that it helps as we’re not obliged using relays and Restrained Love features.
Anyway, it kept us busy and time went by way too quickly. And we had time to chat and read profiles. Overall not a bad night.

Sunday morning, February 9th, I met Kitty at a place named City of Tarnburg, a place Kitty had already told me about, a place for hypnosis or mindfucking which is not yet ready built. I had a look around and some areas do look promising. We talked and chatted about RL and SL .. and over that all I forgot to take pictures.
In the afternoon I visited another place that Kitty had recommended, not an adult place – a place for sightseeing in Second Life and I wrote a simploring report about it. Then I went simhopping for a while until I had to tend to my RL.
I was back online quite early at night and found a message from Cica Ghost. She had just opened a new installation and I went seeing it on the spot (see Art in Second Life 2020 (7) Burlap by Cica Ghost). Cica once again succeeded in making me smile. That was a very nice start into my night.

By the time I returned from my visit to Burlap by Cica Ghost Mistress Jenny came inworld. We quickly caught up with our news and met slave Gwendi and slave Flo at the games tables. We started out night with another skipee as teams and slave Gwendi and I won it again this time against Mistress Jenny and slave Flo.
Then we went kinkploring. Kitty had given me several destinations to places that we haven’t been to before and that night we visited “Dog – Animal Safehouse“. As the name implies it is a place dedicated to puppy play “A safe haven for lovers of Dogs-Horses and last but NOT least our Furry friends. For Interspecies, this is the place to be.” If we adopt a puppy again some day, we now know where to bring it when we go on holidays. We had a look around and Mistress Jenny discovered a nice dungeon that is not just for puppy play.

February 9th – Kinkploring tour: Mistress Jenny and Diomita with slave Flo and slave gwendi at “Dog – Animal Safehouse” (left pictures) / at PrisonersOfDarkenss (middle and right pictures)

Our next destination was at PrisonersOfDarkness, a place for slave auctions with a huge cave system. We had fun exploring the cave system. Some corners and caves we found were for prisoners and for play, yet others were almost artful. We didn’t see all of PrisonersOfDarkness yet got a good first impression – and it was not empty *winks*

Time flies quickly when you’re having fun and it was already bedtime for slave Flo and slave Gwendi. We brought both home and retreated to your skybox and Mistress allowed me to lick her and to get my fix, that I needed badly again.

And that’s it about the weekend.

Simploring 2020 (12) Auld Lang Syne

17 Feb 2020 1 Comment

For my simploring tour Friday, January 24th, I picked Auld Lang Syne from scoop.it SL Destinations, because the name of its creator sounded familiar to me. Auld Lang Syne is a homestead (rated PG) created and owned by Elo Moon (eloiseblake). I had visited her sim Highland Hills in 2019 (see Simploring 2019 (93) Highland Hills)

The landmark profile reads as follows: “We’ll take a cup o’ kindness yet, for auld lang syne – Remote, rustic and occasionally peaceful. Visit the paths of auld and give a respectful nod to those long departed. Parts of Shetland, Orkney, and the Hebrides. Fàilte to The Scottish Isles.“

Auld Lang Syne – overview

Fáilte is a Scotish word and means “welcome”.
“Auld Lang Syne” is a Scots-language poem written by Robert Burns in 1788 and set to the tune of a traditional folk song. It is well known in many countries, especially in the English-speaking world, its traditional use being to bid farewell to the old year at the stroke of midnight on New Year’s Eve. By extension, it is also sung at funerals, graduations, and as a farewell or ending to other occasions. (source Wikipedia)

 

Impressions of Auld Lang Syne (1) – around the landing point and the church

Auld Lang Syne is all you expect it to be after these introduction. It is a main island with a few smaller islands around it. The islands are rocky and to some extend forested. The landing is on a long rock that reaches out into the sea. From there you have a good overview over the islands.
I first visited the curch and then walked to the 6 residential houses. These houses are partly abandonned, partly inhabited. One house is occupied by cats, onviously Elo Moon has a weakness for cats *winks*. All houses are alike, set their inhabitants tried to make them look individual. For sure people who live here are not rich – but most probably nonetheless happy.

 

Impressions of Auld Lang Syne (2) – the residential hosues

In front of the houses is a pier with a fisher boat. From the pier you have a nice view on another island that I named “Hideaway island”. I rezzed a boat (there’s a boat rezzer) and rowed to the Hideaway island. There’s not much to see but some animals and forest. But there are a few places where you can sit and dream and enjoy the peace.

 

Impressions of Auld Lang Syne (3) – at the pier and visiting the Hideaway Island

Impressions of Auld Lang Syne (4) – the lighthouse, the Tower ruin and one of many graves spread around the islands

From the Hideaway Island I rowed to the Lighthouse, walked to the Tower ruin and over the bridge to the farm and Mill. You will find lots of hidden places with graves … “Visit the paths of auld and give a respectful nod to those long departed”.

Impressions of Auld Lang Syne (5) – the farm, the mill and the ruins

I finally visited the ruins, a very peaceful romantic spot. I sat down and enjoyed.

Auld Lang Syne is a very nice, rural setting. A place to visit and to enjoy the peace, to wind down and chill – and maybe to dream a little bit. Thank you Elo Moon (eloiseblake) for creating this sim and in particular for sharing it publicly.
