Tuesday, July 25th, I had a busy day in RL and was not inworld during the day. At night I missed Zana by a few minutes. Maid Monique was present and I took her with me shopping. I got a new body suit from Avec Toi and a new dress and finally I had a date with an SL hairdresser to dye my hair red (acutally I bought a new colour set for me hair). Maid Monique consulted me to find the right colour tone.. finally we went to club Domme a Domme for a bit.
I left the maid to join Flo at the skipee table. We played one round, then Holly and Alessi showed up. As I expected a phone call RL, I decided to play cards that night instead of visiting a club. We played singles although we were four and the game took very long. It was a weired game as the table didn’t give out cards for quite a while – but it was fun. And I was able to stay until the game was over (and had the call simultaneously).

Wednesday, July 26th, I was inworld in the morning and met Zana at club Domme a Domme. As I expected it, Zana was swept off her feet and fainted out when she saw my red hair! I was in a dommish mood and locked her arms in an armbinder. We chatted, had some main chat (bunz (Aizur Zessinthal) was present at first as well), and caught up with mutual news.
Finally I took my pet to our skybox. I had made up a reason to spank her – and I did. Well …. after the spanking I fucked her hard, licked out her pussy and simple enjoyed her. A good start into my day.

Wednesday night, I was running late and tired. I played cards with Flo and went off to bed early.
Thursday, July 27th, I was inworld in the morning, but idling and doing other stuff in RL. And at night I was once again late and just had a skipee with Flo and later with Flo and slave Alessi. Maid Monique was present and offered me a drink – a new ice tea, new recipe, very tasty. Thank you, good maid.
Friday morning, July 28th, I met Kitty at Sleepy Hills. She has been kidnapped together with her current controller Laura (avimorph). Laura was not online, but I was able to visit Kitty and to catch up with her.

At night I met Zana and Maid Monique at club Domme a Domme. Zana decided that Maid Monique shall get a day off. Discussing it and teasing Monique was fun – and I got her spcial ice tea once again.
I had to leave to prepare the Friday night party. slave Holly had the idea to pick a popular theme: “It’s Friday again and we start into our Summer weekend. Wear your sexy boots or come as you are (even naked). DJ Virgo is spinning the tunes for us“
The Friday nights are always fun. The way we start our weekend in SL and in RL!

Saturday, July 22nd, I had a relaxed morning. When I got online in the morning, Zana was present but busy with bunz (Aizur Zessinthal). slave Julia (devotiana) was hat home and I went seeing her, leashed her at the sun terrace and began to select an new outfit. I was just finished when Zana and bunz joined me and slave Julia at the sun terrace. We went to club Domme a Domme. The club was empty first, but wiht our presence it filled and we had some main chat and entertainment. slave Julia had to leave for RL and I followed my instinct and knelt for Zana. That was enjoyable and felt right.
July 22nd: Diomita and Zana at club Domme a Domme with bunz and slave Julia
Zana and I spent time together as twins Saturday night at club Domme a Domme. That was fun! slave Julia and slave Alessi were with us and decorated us or served us as seats.

Sunday, July 23rd, I was inworld in the morning and had slave julia with me. I set up a room for her, so that she has a safe place to be stored in. Then I went to Zana’s place with the slave and chatted with Zana, bunz and another sub. I did not take any pictures.
At night I first met maid Monique (MoniqueDefoe) at home, she had finished her daily chores. I took the maid to club Domme a Domme where we met Zana. Again we had fun and entertainment at the club, but while we were there first Zana had a long IM with someone else distracting her and then I had a phone call RL. Zana left for bed while I was still on the phone.
slave Holly was back from her short vacation and I went home to see her. We had time to catch up with news. Then we played a round of skipee together. When we were finished … Kitty was online. I took Holly with me to see Kitty for a few minutes, then I took her home and to bed. I went to bed early myself.

Monday, July 24th, I had an entertaining morning. I was at club Domme a Domme with Zana, slave Alessi and bunz. We had main chat, we chatted amoung us and we teased .. and I teased Zana. Just before we had to leave (to start the day in RL or for bed), Lola (swittepet) approached Zana and us. I unleashed Zana and removed her armbinder. She immediately switched into domme modus and enjoyed having Lola at her knees. I think Zana and I, we both are curious how that will continue.

When I came back in-world Monday night, Flo was playing cards at home. She had been a few days off. Zana was also online and summoned me to club Domme a Domme. She was in a quite dommish mood and made me kneel for her. Zana teased Monique and Lola (swittepet). Again it was entertaining and I didn’t feel bad at all kneeling for Zana. When Monique and Lola had left to tend to their RL, Zana and I were alone at the club for a short while … time enough to quickly dot kisses on Zana’s butt *winks*.
Flo was ready to join and slave Holly came online as well, hence Zana released me from kneeling before I summoned them to us. Later slave Julia and slave Alessi joined. The main chat didn’t ebb and I had also quite some IMs. Zana had to leave .. and Lola came back. And Baroness Capelo made some remarks every once in a while from her spot at the bar. Unfortunately I had a longer phone call in RL in addition. Because of that, I went off at Flotime and had an early night.

Thursday, July 20th, I met Zana in the morning in a night club named “Rouge”. We know someone who is working there, this person was not there that morning though. Anyway Zana and I enjoyed the show that 2 girls were performing. The club is quite stylish but nonetheless it’s still a night club.
We stayed maybe half an hour and then moved on to Carnal, where bunz (Aizur Zessinthal) joined us. Finally we went home to our skybox. I desired to take advantage of Zana and I did. I had a satisfying orgasm and just a good time with Zana.

Thursday night was really particular. When I came inworld, none of the family was present. Holly and Flo are both a few days off. Zana was inworld and we were in IM. I went to club Domme a Domme. Zana prepared me that she had put Ramana (Ramana Karu) in a breathtaking outfit and that she herself dressed up to impress me. She was not bragging. When she came to the club with Ramana, i hardly recognized Ramana. How cute!
I rezzed a doll case for Ramana and the rest of the night she was in the center of attention. It became a really chatty night and many people gathered around us, around Zana. I took many pictures but I couldn’t really get all into one picture.

Friday July 21st, I spent an hour with Zana in the morning. We were at club Domme a Domme, Carnal, club DeLust and at home. We just chatted and enjoyed togetherness.
July 21st: Diomita and Zana at club Domme a Domme, Carnal, club DeLust and at home
I was back in-world in the late afternoon. Maid Monique (MoniqueDefoe) was cleaning the house and I went seeing. She had just finished cleaning and it was the perfect opportunity to work off her “bad maid log” with an appropriate punishment. We had talked about it a few days before and I had fixed the punishment to 32 strokes. I admit, Maid Monique did endure the punishment bravely and I was proud how she took it with devotion, good maid.
I had just finished administering the punishment when slave Julia (devotiana) showed up. She had been away for weeks and I was quite upset about it. I decided to give her a third and last chance and put her into the slave oufit for July.
Maid Monique changed into something red – for the the Friday night party. I had fixed the theme to: “It is Friday night, time to start our Summer weekend. For tonight the theme is “red”. Come dressed in red (shiny or not) or come as your are (even naked) and celebrate with us. DJ Virgo is spinning the tunes for us.”

The Friday night party was great as it is always, good music, good company, some chat, fun .. just a perfect was to start into the weekend.

Monday, July 17th, I was inworld in the morning just waiting for Zana and doing other things in RL. Zana showed up and we met at club Domme a Domme but unfortunately her connection/computer was not working well and she left again quite quickly.
At night I met Zana again at club Domme a Domme. She came with bunz (Aizur Zessinthal), Erin (lilerin2020) and maid Monique (MoniqueDefoe) to the club. Luci Glendale also approached and knelt next to Zana. After her vacation it was a bit as if Zana was holding court. Together we teased maid Monique and made her “bad maid list” longer.
When Zana had left I stayed at the club and summoned first slave Alessi and then slave Holly to me. It was a chatty night. Tonya (bauly) kept on teasing maid Monique and I had to defend the maid, as she’s first of all Zana’s and my maid. Charlotte (Charlottejersey) also joined us but I was too busy in IMs and main chat and we didn’t talk.
After the main chat has ebbed down, I went to Carnal with slave Holly and slave Alessi for half an hour. We returned home quite early as Holly and I myself had an early start the next day. Holly would be off a few days.

Tuesday, July 18th, Zana and I had some time of togetherness. We both craved for it after Zana’s vacation. I took Zana to my secret place where I made her strip, stripped myself and took advantage of her. Some pictures tell more than words can do…
July 18th: Diomita and Zana at home
When I returned online at night, Zana was inworld. She was at club Domme a Domme with maid Monique and I joined the two there. Zana and I teased Monique a bit and I decided about the punishment for working off her “bad maid log”. The punishment is due soon. Luci (Luci Glendale came by and Zana decided to take her as a seat. Later we changed and I sat down… and then Tonya (bauly) tested the seat (we called it “model Luci”). We had some entertainment.

I had an interruption and returned late at night. Alessi was present and we spent some time at Carnal before I went off to bed.
Wednesday, July 19th, I met Zana in the morning and we spent some time together at club Domme a Domme.
July 18th/19th: Diomita and Alessi at Carnal / Diomita and Zana at club Domme a Domme
I was not online during the day on Wednesday. When I came online Wednesday night comparably late, Flo was playing cards and I joined her for two rounds. slave Julia (Devotiana) was present. She had been offline for weeks – and thus I had forgot about her more or less. We talked a bit while I was playing cards with Flo. After the two rounds, slave Julia went off again and I took Flo with me to club Domme a Domme.
I stayed all night at the club. Zana came by and suspended Ramana (Ramana Karu) on a rack there. Zana had fun teasing Ramana for disobedience. slave Alessi joined me and us and decorated us well. Erin (lilerin2020) also joined us, she’s a pony now. It was a chatty night and it was not easy to follow main chat. I had fun and enjoyed being with Zana and being surrounded by our subs. A playful and entertaining night.

I was not inworld Saturday, July 15th, during the day, just shortly in the morning to check messages. Instead I enjoyed a lovely Summer day in RL. At night I was alone at first. slave 2323 (scarlet2323) was online and contacted me. Timezones have been very much against us and 2323 asked to be released, which I did. I hope that 2323 finds someone with a better time fit.
I tended to my RL for a bit and upon my return, Flo was present and playing cards. We played one round together and then another round with slave Holly (Holly won the game by the way). Then I took Flo and Holly to club Domme a Domme for a short time. Holly had had a bad day in RL and had an early start the next day, hence we returned home to tuck her in. Flo and I went rubber object watching at Carnal …. it was quiet there and no really outstanding rubber objects *tuts*
After Flo had left for bad, slave Alessi joined me at club DeLust …. it was a quiet but relaxing night.

Sunday morning, July 16th, I went online actually just to send and read messages, then I stayed inworld and had just began doing some paperwork when I got a message from Zana, who was back home from her vacation. We met in our skybox. It felt good to have her back here. Zana’s sub bunz (Aizur Zessinthal) was online and so we went to the fetish club where we could talk and listen to Zana’s first reports about her vacation until she was so tired that she had to retreat to bed.
July 15th: Diomita and Zana with bunz (Aizur Zessinthal)
My night began with two rounds of skipee with Flo. Maid Monique (MoniqueDefoe) was present and I sent her to Zana’s home to clean there first, then to clean my house and then to bring me a drink. She did well and when I got my drink, so also brought bad luck to Flo and I won the first game – yet, I lost the second. The maid has to become better in this matter *winks*.
I took the maid, Flo and slave Holly, who had just come inworld, to club Domme a Domme. It became a chatty and entertaining night with quite some weired subjects … we talked about cults. Zana and Ramana Karu joined us for a while at the club as well as Luci Glendale. And of course I took a picture.

At flotime and shortly after the crowd dissolved. Monique had to leave to tend to her RL, Flo went to bed and slave Holly had to go to bed shortly after Flo. Ramana and Luci stayed at the club and I took slave Alessi to club DeLust where we spent another half hour before going to bed ourselves.

Thursday, July 13th, I was inworld in the late afternoon for a bit and then at night.
I met Flo and we played 2 rounds of cards. Then when Holly came online we moved to club Domme a Domme and stayed there for about 20 minutes. But – although full – it was boringly quiet there and hence I wanted to move on to Carnal to watch rubber objects. But I could only get Holly to Carnal, then it was full – and it stayed full. slave Alessi had come inworld in the meantime as well ….
I went to Lochme and could teleport Flo, Holly and Alessi to me – then Lochme crashed. We met at home again and Flo called it a night as did slave Holly.
I tried to take slave Alessi with me to Carnal ….. and I could get there, but I couldn’t teleport Alessi in *sighs*. It was one of these nights when nothing works as it should. After 10 minutes I finally managed to get Alessi to me and I fixed her on a rack to have some fun with her.
July 13th: Diomita at club Domme a Domme with Flo and slave Holly / at Carnal with Alessi
Friday, July 14th, we had our regular Friday night party again. slave Holly had proposed the theme which was very fitting to the hot Summer days:
“It’s Friday and we celebrate the start into our weekend. Today it is the famous “International Nude Day” …. Come and join us naked, or come dressed as you are … yet don’t overdress! DJ Virgo is spinning the tunes for us.“
Of course not all of us came naked, but it was close. Cherry was wearing boards “censored” to hide her intimate parts. Angelique selected a very daring body in skin colour – excellent. Some of Claven’s girls wore their steel bikinis. And a very few were a bit overdressed or wanted to really sweat.
July 14th – Friday night party: Diomita, Angelique, slave Holly, Flo, slave Alessi, Cherry, Ebony Massey, Monique, Sun, Baroness Capelo, Luci Glendale, Virgo Babii (upper row), Della Randt, Starbright Wingtips, Pink Nightmare (nightmare2023), Lucy (lucycaspiana), Anna (anna98r), Claven Albatros, Kira Skytower, Donna Jo (donnajo19720828), Morgie Darkstone, Laura (laura00175), Shy (shahniyah), Erika (ErikaYoung), Shima (Shimah2000) (lower row)
We had fun! Claven hold that many leashes that it was hard to take a picture of everyone. One guest, Jeanette Darkstone (arandomjeanette), didn’t show correctly in my viewer, hence she’s not included in the picture above.
slave Holly made a great picture of the party showing most of us.

Monday, July 10th, I was not online during the day and at night I was alone first. I used the time to write about “Resilience 2049”, and exhibtion by Milena Carbone, that I had visited during the weekend at Michiel Bechir Gallery (read here). After I had finished I played being Flo …. and played cards against myself. No wonder .. I won! I was about to start roaming when slave Holly and slave Alessi showed up simultaneously. I took them to club Domme a Domme first. It was full there, but no maid … and no main chat, just a silent crowd. When I complained that none serves drinks, slave Alessi surprised me. She had an invisible magic bag and took out a tray with a jug of wine and glasses. I got a glass of wine … Cherry wine. I didn’t know that Cherry is also a winemaker!
We moved on to Carnal to watch rubber objects, a snail, a bat, ponies, dragons, a piggy and a few humans. I had a mutlichat window open with Holly and Alessi and we had an enjoyable night – talking about the people around us, having banter and being a bit silly. A relaxed night!
When slave Holly went to bed, I siad good night to Alessi as well as I wanted to continue an ongoing roleplay – but that failed that night and hence I went off to bed myself too.
July 10th: Diomita at club Domme a Domme and at Carnal with slave Holly and slave Alessi
Tuesday, July 11th, was quite alike. I was not in-world much during the day – and had a relaxed night. I met Angelique at Carnal and we chatted a bit. It had been a while that I had seen her in person. After Angelique had went off to bed, I returned home and saw that Flo was playing cards. SL had played tricks on me once again as she wasn’t shown online to me.
We played a round of skipee and while we played first slave Holly and then slave Alessi came inworld. Holly didn’t stay long though. She had to recover, the heat in RL is too much for some of us. I took Flo and Alessi to coub Domme a Domme, but it was quite there – that changed when Argi showed up and livened up the club a bit. Flo just saw Argi coming when she was going off to bed.

Wednesday, July 12th, I revisted Michiel Bechir Gallery to see the other exhibitions there and I wrote another blog post (read here). I had another relaxed night. First I played two rounds of skipee with Flo, then I spent time with Flo, slave Holly and slave Alessi at club Domme a Domme and later at Carnal where Faye joined us for a short time. After Flo had left, I played a bit with the slave’s gear before we went to bed.

And that’s it already about these 3 days.

When I visited Milena Carbone (mylena1992)’s newest exhibition named “Resilience 2049” at Michiel Bechir Gallery (read here), I saw that the Gallery features also other artists. Actually Michiel had invited me to the opening even, that happened tuesday, July 11th.
I visited the other parts of the July exhibition at Michiel Bechir Gallery on Wednesday, July 12th. The overall theme in July is “Portraits”
The Michiel Bechir Gallery has been remodeled. It now provides 4 exhibition rooms on two floors. In July you can see Michiel Bechir’s own artwork on the 1 floor left, Myra Wildmist’s art on the 1st floor right, Karma Weymann’s pictures on the 2nd floor left and Milena Carbone (mylena1992)’s exhibition “Resilience 2049” on the 2nd floor right.
I started my 2nd visit with visiting Michiel Bechir’s exhibition. Usually Michiel’s takes pictures of extraordinairy landscapes in Second Life. The selected pictures for July are different as they all show females, but not portraits or close-ups. Instead the female avatars enrich the landscape in which they are photographed. In my personal opinion, that makes the pictures of the landscape and places more lively.
Michiel Bechir has started his long virtual journey into Second Life as a photographer in 2009. Michiel enjoys seeing new places, meeting new people from all over the world and expierencing the creativity in Second Life (just like I do!). Michiel discovered the possiblities of different tools to improve his pictures. By editing them he also tries to add a personal touch and feeling.
Besides owning and creating the Michiel Bechir Gallery, Michiel also has a gallery with a selection of pictures at Art Park. Furthermore you can also see more of his work on his flickr page.
On the 1st floor to the right you find the art of Myra Wildmist. According the the theme of the July exhibtion, Myra presents portraits, female portraits. One wall shows portraits of different characters and ethnics with different techniques for portraits, another wall is dedicated to females as an element of highlightening an otherwise boring landscape or background. I personally like her self portrait, which she presents herself with 3 different filter settings – quite a difference in my opinion, and proving what can be done within Second Life photography using simple filters.
Myra Wildmist is in Second Life since 2012. With her pictures Myra’s “goal is to demonstrate that virtual photography is a new art form and Second Life is a true medium for virtual art. Using the tools SL provided, she creates her photos using many of the same photographic techniques one would use in real life, while also incorporating virtual techniques not available in real life. Myra’s photography is done entirely in-world using SL environmental effects, graphic settings, and photographic filters.” Myra also creates sculptures and installations.
The notecard, that you can grab in her exhition room at michiel Bechir Gallery contains a long list of her exhibitions in-world so far as well as links to other publications of her. Myra writes for magazines and blogs, in partilar she is a staff member of Kultivate/Windlight Magazine. You find more of her art at her flickr page and on her own blog.
On the 2nd floor left the art of Karma Weymann is exhibited. Karma makes pictures of females in everyday scences. The images initially look like snapshots. The women either look shocked that they are being photographed like this – or they don’t even notice it. And that is exactly what makes the pictures so appealing.
Karma Weymann joined Second Life already in 2007. You can grab a notecard about her in the room. Karma writes about her art: “I take most of my photos at my homemade studio in SL but there are some location shoots as well. I create my own avatars for models and try to give them an unconventional kind of beauty, a sex appeal that seems more real than cookie-cutter barbie doll avies. I usually focus on shapes, shadows and light, with overall composition and balance being the desired goal. Lastly, I try to depict my models doing ordinary things with a seemingly innocent natural sensuality.”
Karma Weymann owns the Karma’s Gallery Store at Starz and a store at Kultivate – Karma’s Store at Kultivate.
You can see more of her art at her flickr page.
Finally, on the 2nd floor right is Milena Carbone (mylena1992)’s exhibition “Resilience 2049”. I wrote already about it here.
As the name implies, Michiel Bechir Gallery is owned by Michiel Bechir. Thank you Michiel and the whole team Maggie Runo, Tresore Prada (tresore) and MsToya (Mstoya Bailey) for providing the space for the arts!
Thank you to all artists involved in this July exhibition. I enjoyed my visit.

It’s been a while that I covered the art of Milena Carbone (mylena1992). When I got the invitation to visit “Resilience 2049”, her newest exhibtion, I decided to visit it for two reasons – firstly her exhibtion is at Michiel Bechir Gallery, a gallery that I cover comparably regularly, and secondly I read her notecard that came with the invitation and I became curious.
Milena Carbone’s notecard explains the background of the exhibition, the main story, that connects all presented pictures (portraits), she explains the word “Résilience”, she explains the technique how the portraits were taken – and finally she outlines her own thoughts.
The “Resilience 2049” exhibition grew out of the “Resilience” dance show presented at Noir Wen in April 2023. Behind the dancers, the background featured a series of portraits of “resilient” people, most of them children. The show gave little explanation for the staging, which everyone interpreted in their own way.
(Get more information about the ballet “Résilience” here)
I got a lot of feedback on these portraits, and decided to make them a permanent exhibition in my studio, the Carbone Studio. The exhibition in the Michiel Bechir Gallery is a first sketch of that exhibition.
Resilience is the ability of an individual, a group or a community to adapt and recover from crisis, trauma, loss or major change in their lives. This is what my generation and generations to come are going to have to face, forced and coerced by previous generations who were unable to mobilize to spare us from the suffering of an increasingly violent world and a planet going haywire.

And why 2049?
Blade Runner 2049 and, three years apart, Wong Kar-wai’s 2046. Both films deal with the end of a world
2049 marks the centenary of the Chinese revolution, and the Chinese government’s project to become the world’s dominant power.
2049, or 2050, is a key date in the IPCC reports, which see it as the climate tipping point.
Resilience 2049 is a portrait gallery of witnesses from the year 2049 to the dangerous, violent and inhospitable world we’ve handed down to them.
In the center of the exhibition runs a video. In this video the characters shown as portraits on the walls of the exhibition come alive. They talk and change their facial expression. The video can also be seen on youtube here.
The video as well as the portraits were created using AI – the result is very impressive! And as Milena wrote, the portraits and the characters are still her art, her style.
The portraits were all created exclusively with Midjourney, applying my style parameters. The application is relatively unstable today, with almost weekly updates and improvements, making the stability of my style more fragile.
I used a face animation app for the first time. The characters in the video may seem caricatured in relation to the seriousness of the subject. I’m aware of that. But I had to try. Here too, the application is regularly updated. In a recent update, after the creation of this video, the emotional mimicry of the faces was improved.

Resilience 2049 is an impressive exhibition with a message, a clarion call to action. It touched me – as Milena intended it. The portraits are quite realistic, they express their feelings, their anger and their desperation. Resilience 2049 is not an exhibition “to enjoy”, more “to experience” – another piece of art fo Milena Carbone.
Milena Carbone (mylena1992) is a French artist and is in Second Life since mid 2019. She discovered its artistic potential and since then has devoted all her free time to creation, associating, as in real life, images and texts: “Milena Carbone is a fiction in which, as in any artistic work, biographical and imaginary elements are mixed.” Her creative process is iterative: some of her images inspire her stories and these stories modify the development of the image, which itself transforms the story.
Milena has an own gallery, the Carbone Studio and she has a bookstore @ Noir’Wen City.
Milena has an own website, you can also find her on flickr here and you can read her texts here.
The Michiel Bechir Gallery has a new main building. “Resilience 2049” by Milena Carbone is on 2d floor on the right. I haven’t (yet) visited the other current exhibitions. Thank you Michiel and the whole team Maggie Runo, Tresore Prada (tresore) and MsToya (Mstoya Bailey) for providing the space for the arts!

Saturday, July 8th, I was online in the morning for about one hour and roamed a bit over the clubs. Nothing happened and I tended to my RL instead.
At night I was running late. I met Flo at home and we caught up with mutual news, then we played a round of skipee. slave Alessi came by and as I was in the mood for it we played another round with three. Afterwards I took Flo and slave Alessi to club Domme a Domme. Cherry was there and joined us.

It became a quiet, relaxed night. We moved on to Carnal to watch rubber people. Vani (vanila Meili) came by and I couldn’t resist and took control of her. And also Mercy (Steelyeye Blinker) joined us. I got quite some kisses on my butt *winks*

Sunday, July 9th, I came inworld in the earlier morning to check messages, then again at around lunch time. I went to Heavy Bondage Club, where I idled while doing other stuff in RL.
Sunday, July 9th, was another quiet day, regarding SL (and also in RL by the way). I was inworld in the mroing and met Kitty at Sleepy Hills. She’s behaving well and improving (who does really believe that?). Anyway, she’s having fun and enjoys her newest adventure.
I was inworld again in the later afternoon for a bit and roleplayed a bit (i won’t report here about it).
At night slave Holly came inworld surprisingly early. We decided to occupy the skipee table and played two games. Flo did show up and had to wait to join in for a game of three. When we had finished this game, slave Alessi was present as well and Flo left for bed. I took slave Holly and slave Alessi to club Domme a Domme. We had just arrived when slave Alessi had to leave again (RL is always first!). And slave Holly had an early start the next day and went off soon after slave Alessi as well.

And that’s it about a more quiet weekend.
