I was inworld very early on Wednesday, May 19th, and had in mind to go on a simploring tour. Instead I had another continuation of my blackmail roleplay and was invited by the one Mistress has an adventure with …. my time inworld was filled – just not with the activities I had planned.
In the afternoon I met with Mistress Jenny and we had a lot to catch up. In addition I had issue with my viewer which lost its settings – similar to what Mistress had experienced the day before. Luckily res toring the settings helped for me, Mistress and I went to Peurto Esclava first for a bit, then we decided to play a skippe with Flo.
While we played slave Holly came inworld and cleaned the house. And after our game Mistress had to tend to her RL. I took slave Holly to Carnal Intentions for a bit to decorate me, then I logged off myself.

At night Mistress wasn’t inworld due to her RL. After a game of skipee, I took Angelique and Flo to Carnal Intentions. We just chatted amoung us, not much was going on in the club. After Angelique had left, I began to restrict Flo a bit. And then slave Holly came inworld and I tied her up hanging at Carnal Intentions. I had fun teasing the two and later after Flo had left for bed teasing Holly

Thursday, May 20th, I was inworld quite early in the afternoon and roamed a bit around. Finally I waited at Carnal Intentions for Mistress Jenny and she joined me there. We stayed more than an hour there and caught up with our mutual news. Lucy (MissLucyWales) joined us for a while.
After Mistress Jenny had left, I visited one of the sims participating in the BDSM hunt, which took place from may 15th to May 31st – Tempelhof https://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Ceiram/70/190/22. I had fun doing the scavenger hunt there and succeeded, yay! While I was doing the hunt, slave Holly had come inworld and she cleaned the house. When I returned home, I controlled her homework, then I took her with me to Psi’s realm and stored her there.

Mistress was not inworld at night. I had a varied night, that began, no spurprise, with a skipee together with Angelique and Flo. We went to Psi’s realm and stayed there for about an hour, chatting amoung us as well as in main chat. Elena (Elenaslv Serenity) joined us and I took her close to me.

After Angelique and Flo had left, I went to Carnal Intentions with Elena and slave Holly and I continued having fun. I fixed slave Holly as a human table and had Elena lick my feet. Then I sat on the table and tired a few poses – and made Elena sit on the table masturbating. slave Holly had an outstanding view, in particular after I took off her blindfold. I had fun watching – and the slaves had their fun too.

Art in Second Life 2021 (49) GenovArt Glass Gallery – May/June 2021

I got an invitation for the opening of a new gallery in the skies above Genova City – GenovArt Glass Gallery. Actually there are two galleries. The Glass Gallery and the B&W Gallery, which is still under contruction. Both exhibition spaces are humongous. The exhibtion at the Glass Gallery feature of the art of Lita Menges, Paola Mills, Fiona Saiman and Maddy (Magda Schmidtzau), four female artists from Italy.

The Glass Gallery has two floors. On the ground floor is the exhibition of Lita Menges and Maddy (Magda Schmidtzau), on the 2nd floor is the exhibition of Paola Mills and Fiona Saiman.
Lita Menges’ photos are characterized by dark tones and surreal scenarios. Lita is in Second Life since 2007 and was immediately by the magical world and creative potential of this virtual world.


Lita writes: “For the vast majority of people SL is a place where they can express segments of themselves that most likely would not find space in RL. Second Life is a “container” in which we are what we would like to be in rl, or just a part of it. You can find a thousand ways to express that part of yourself that you decide to bring in sl. I chose to take pictures. For me, taking pictures on sl represents a phalanx, a natural extension of me, the most natural way to communicate what I feel.”
Lita Menges has a flickr account and a blog.

Maddy (Magda Schmidtzau) is in Second Life since 2009. She’s passionate about photography in RL and uses Secod Life to experiment and to try out new things. She writes: “Trying to convey the magic I see. A world of maximum expressive freedom where my mind frees itself from being reality by entering into a perennial game of inventions….. Magda has fun, she plays and createsa wonderful world that makes the impossible possible.“

I’ve seen Maddy’s art the first time back in 2017 at Enchanted Art where her exhibition “Maddy 2017” was showcased (read here) Further on I saw Maddy’s work at La Maison d’Aneli in 2018, 2019 and 2020 (read here, here and here).

You can see more of her art at her flickr page.

Paola Mills joined Second Life in 2007. For her it became a nice of creativity.
Paola writes about her work: “I am not a professional photographer in RL, but I like to take pictures when I see something I like, a person or a situation, which is why I always carry a small camera in my bag. Second Life allowed me to develop, without the need for powerful means, my emotionality, freezing the moment of a feeling in simple shots that stop for a moment of my time.


I think I am an end user of Second Life by exploiting the ability of creators who know how to give reality to the bodies of the avatars and who know how to give movement to the avatar with the use of animations.
My work combines these two aspects, the care of the avatar as a human body, and the study of body language.“

Fiona Saiman arrived in Second Life back in 2006 and immediately got seduced by the possibility of taking photos: “I started experimenting and learning snapshot effects, but I only used the tools SL was offering and could create thrilling images. But discovering Wireframes (Control + shift + R) it has been my greatest passion; a type of photo a little different from the usual, the simplicity of using a keyboard shortcut to get the magic of a spider web hidden behind everything and everyone inworld.
Playing around with keyboard shortcuts to take things off or add elements to make those charming lines stand out in my view.“

The exhibition at the Glass Gallery is about “Windows… the eyes of the world on us, observe or be observed by other? Hiding or getting naked“.

“This time I decided to propose myself in a different way. After all, experimenting is always an enrichment of one’s being and then, loving the challenges, this time I put my face and even my body on it. Why is this woman always and often near the window? you would ask yourself. The window is a metaphor of the gaze, of the point of view that you have on the world and that the world has on us. To watch or to be seen? This is the dilemma.”

Fiona Saiman has a flickr account and a blog.

I enjoyed my first visit to the Glass Gallery. Many thanks to the initiators of this gallery. And many thanks to the 4 participating Italian artists!

I met Mistress Jenny in the afternoon on Monday, May 17th. We caught up with our news and went to Carnal Intentions where we continued talking while watching the other guests. After Mistress had left to tend to her RL I had another continuation of my blackmail roleplay before I logged out myself.

May 17th: Mistress Jenny and Diomita at Carnal Intentions and at Psi’s realm with Angelique, Flo and slave Holly

Mistress Jenny and I started our night playing skipee with Flo and Angelique. While we were playing slave Holly came inworld. After our game Mistress Jenny too Angelique and Flo to Psi’s realm and I went shopping with slave Holly. I had selected a new chastity belt at KDC for her, a belt that emulates a real life chastity device. It comes with a quite outstanding locking system and I had to understand that first.
I joined Mistress Jenny at Psi’s and we stayed there for the rest of our night chatting amoung us and I got familiar with the locking system of slave Holly’s belt. Doesn’t it look great on her? *winks*

May 17th: Mistress Jenny and Diomita at Psi’s realm with Flo and slave Holly

Tuesday, May 18th, I met Mistress Jenny in the later morning unexpectedly. She was enjoying her adventure and I was invited to join shortly. Mistress and I, we both don’t know how it will continue.
In the afternoon I went on a simploring tour and was almost finished when Mistress Jenny returned inworld. She had troubles with her viewer settings. She had lost them and restoring didn’t help. Hence Mistress was a bit busy with restoring her settings. While she did that we went to club Domme a Domme and later to Heavy Bondage Club, where Mistress continued while we talked. slave Holly had come inworld and had finished her cleaning chores. I summoned her to us and I talked a bit to her getting know to her better every day. When Mistress had to leave to tend to her RL, we returned home.

May 18th: Mistress Jenny and Diomita at Carnal Intentions with Angelique, Flo and slave Holly

After our regular skipee game with Angelique and Flo at night we went to Carnal Intentions and stayed there all night. We watched and chatted amoung us. slave Holly was late and when I went home to pick her up I couldn’t return as Carnal got full. I had a little bit of fun with Holly showing her the anal hook suspension at home.

May 18th: Mistress Jenny and Diomita at Carnal Intentions and at Psi’s realm with Angelique, Flo and slave Holly

Finally I could return to Carnal Intentions with slave Holly. I fixed her on a rack there and declared it “Spank Holly night” … Unfortunately none of the guests were brave enough, so Mistress, Flo and I had to spank slave Holly *winks*

Backflash May 2011 – UbU, You may never leave…

31 May 2021 Leave a comment

by diomitamaurer in Backflash of the month Tags: ,

In the “Backflash” series I select an old entry once a month and present it here. This way I force myself to browse in the archive and to fresh up a few of the many memories. For our readers the new series shall provide an insight into our Second Life without reading back the many posts and it might also give reason to browse through the archives.
For May 2021 I went 10 years back and found this post about the sim “UbU”. UbU was a popular sim in the BDSM scene 10 years ago, in particular after Stonehaven had been closed. And we spent quite some time there. Our Kitty wrote a nice post about UbU – fond memoeries if you read it now!
UbU is long gone as well, I don’t know when it closed, but it must have been in 2012 or 2013 – but the memories stay alive. Enjoy reading!

UbU, You may never leave…

Here’s another report about a sim from Kitty. This sim is particular. For some it is the replacement of Stonehaven, for others with a secret passion it was their playground long before Stonehaven went off. If you’re going to explore it please search the bottle of “Original Stonehaven Lag” which someone hast lost there. Now, here’s the report from our curious kitten…

What happens when a team of passionately creative minds decides to save their favorite playground from vanishing? Just come to the all-new Ubu and see for yourself. Having so many ingenious forces at work, Ubu has turned out to be playground with many different faces. Here are a few:
Bring your tack and board your pony in the midst of fresh pastures at the ranch, a Class-A training facility where services include vaulting, dressage and a racetrack.

If going down under is your thing, find the manhole in the main square and explore an extensive network of tunnels leading to many ‘special’ rooms and chambers.
Some of us love going fishing, while others prefer to watch. And of course, Ubu’s creators were thoughtful and decided to cater to both needs. So, if fishing isn’t your thing, you can still watch it happen – from one of many underwater ‘observation areas’.

Care for style? Go to the Bar Nothing, a sultry nightclub based on a wonderful story by k2ph and tisi. Become part of the story or create your own inside this beautifully designed etablissement inspired by the Parisian style of the ’20s.

If you prefer sensual Asian cuisine over the French, you can learn the ropes at the Shibari Garden. And Ubu’s wonderful management team didn’t stop there.

In case you enjoy ungroomed nature and wilderness more than perfectly-manicured lawns, you can always drop into the eerie darkness of a large forest for a game of hide-and-seek. Of course, you can always opt for a smaller forest – that of one tree – and many interesting devices to explore.
After so much fun, you might be in need for some peace and quiet time. Ubu’s passionate minds thought even of those needs and provide relaxing and rejuvenating MD Podding storage services at your convenience. Still looking for more to see and do? Drop your keys in the key-lottery box at the mainsquare and see what happens. And of course, there is a large pirate ship to visit.

If you like the sim, Ubu Management offers residential and commercial areas for rent. And the credits for all this wonderful work go the dedicated Ubu passionistas: Heidi Shoreland, Tasha Yar Telling, Eve Keneinan, K2ph Drammond, Stacy Fernwitch and all the many others who have contributed and supported the sim and hung in there during construction activities and lag. Thank you all for keeping UbU alive!

Diary 2021 (64) May 15th/16th A quiet and relaxed weekend

30 May 2021 Leave a comment

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

Saturday, May 15th, Mistress wasn’t inworld during the day. I was inworld several times over the day. I visited the first sim of a BDSM hunt that started that day and features different BDSM places. There are gifts to search at each place. The first sim was a Shibari sim, very well built and with a lot of racks and gear. I will keep it in mind for a green light.
Beside that short visit nothing happened. At Heavy Bondage club I saw Angelique and talked with her, but that is all.

At night, Mistress Jenny was present and we had a skipee as teams first – we, Mistress Jenny, Angelique, Flo and I. After the game we went to Carnal Intentions and stayed there most of the night. Although the place was full there was not much going on. We talked a bit in main, but mostly we talked amoung us and just enjoyed the atmosphere.

May 15th: Mistress Jenny and Diomita at Carnal Intentions with Angelique and Flo and at Runaround Sue’s Hop

After Flo and Angelique had went off to bed, Mistress Jenny and I went to Runaround Sue’s hop for 20 minutes and danced to oldies. That was fun.

Sunday, May 16th, was a bit alike the day before. I was inworld quite early and wanted to go on a simploring tour. To my surprise Mistress came inworld. Her adventure is still going on and her play partner was inworld. Hence we just quickly caught up, then Mistress left to tend to her adventure and I went on a longer simploring tour.

In the afternoon, we met again. Flo and Angelique were also present and hence we decided to play skipee as teams first. The game took longer than I had thought and when we were done I had to leave to tend to my RL.

Mistress Jenny and I spent the night with Flo, first playing skipee again, then at Carnal Intentions. Argi joined us there and she was entertaining – like always. We also had a bit of main chat to follow. We had a relaxed and enjoyable time. After Flo and Argi had left to bed, Mistress Jenny and I went to club Domme a Domme for a few moments before we called it a night ourselves.

Simploring 2021 (21) Krak Bak Caye by Elizabeth Jewell at The Sim Quarterly

29 May 2021 Leave a comment

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

As a member of her group “Nantes” I got an invite from Elizabeth Jewell (ElizabethNantesJewell) to visit her newest creation “Krak Bak Caye” as Simquarterly.

Krak Bak Caye is inspired by Caulker Caye, an island off the coast of Belize. Krak Bak means “relax” in Kroil Patios, the language spoken here besides English.
The landmark brought me to a sky platform with an airport for small planes admist the rain forest. A friendly hostess greated me: “Hi Diomita, and welcome to Krak Bak Caye by Elizabeth Jewell at The Sim Quarterly! Happy you’re here! Krak Bak Caye is just a short flight. If your reservation was for the Resort please take the closest plane. If you want to start your visit at Main Street take the farthest plane. Just click the plane’s stairs to start your journey!“

Landing at Krak Bak Caye by Elizabeth Jewell at The Sim Quarterly

I got the advice to turn my sound on (I did) and I got a “Tourist guide”, a booklet to rezz or to attach as a HUD with more information about Krak Bak Caye. The sound is very well done and fitting, the tourist guide is just great and made me feel as if I were on a short vacation in RL.
I took the closest plane and traveled to the resort (the teleport takes you to the ground level).

The resort “The Reef” is just as you picture your stay at a luxury resort in the Caribbean, a modern welcoming reception building with a reception, places to meet and great pictures. And the vacation homes at the beach are wonderful.

Impressions of Krak Bak Caye by Elizabeth Jewell at The Sim Quarterly (1) – The resort “The Reef”

I began exploring, came along “The Split”, a narrow waterway dividing the island in two. It’s said that is was cause be hurricane Hattie in 1961, but villagers maintain that it was hand-dredged after Hurrican Hattie opened a passage a few inches deep.
I visited “Jronkin Lizard”, a strand bar and café, I came along rezzer for paddling and for windsurfing. I didn’t try them out but i can imagine it is great fun. Close by the bar is a “Krak Bak Caye” sign which is said to be an attraction. I really can imagine that such a sign would be a landmark for tourists to take pictures (and I did that in Second Life *winks*)

Continuing my walk I came to the main street, the other desination I could have taken at the landing airport. It is a small town with more bars and restaurants, souvenir shops, bike rentals, motel and some more stores. The main street offers quite some nice details and great motifs for photographers.

And finally I visited “The Blue Hole”, a marine sinkhole. It is filled with ocean life and much to discover if you’re a snorkler or SCUBA enthusiast.
I roamed aroud the island a lot and searched for other wildlife. According to the tourist guide you could see quite some birds at Krak Bak Caye. I could hear them (keep the sound on, the background noise is very realistic and adds a lot to the vacation feeling) yet unfortunately I didn’t see any – maybe just like in RL *winks*.

ElizabethNantesJewell Resident, known as Elizabeth Jewell, finds sim design relaxing, a positive focus, and a creative outlet that she can not only do from home, but also share with others. “That’s the real enjoyment, when I see other people feeling good visiting my sim!” she stated.
I have seen quite some creations of Elizabeth Jewell (ElizabethNantesJewell). Back in 2016 and 2017 I visited “Follow Your Bliss” (read here, here and here). In 2018 I visited Nantes (read here) and the Nantes Gallery (read here). Elizabeth Jewell (elizabethnantesjewell) still owns Nantes and Fusion City (located above Fleur de Sel), which is also home of Nantes Gallery. And in 2020 I visited “Ghosts of Jericho”, another sim built by Elizabeth at “Sim Quarterly” (read here).

Sim Quarterly is a sim and initiative of Electric Monday:
“Art and the virtual world, Second Life© are very similar — you are able to both find yourself and immerse yourself (and maybe even lose yourself) in something totally unlike what you already know. The experiences you gain help you grow and form new opinions about the world. That is what I hope this sim can provide over time. I am very excited to bring to you a quarterly art project by way of The Sim Quarterly.
The project features one creator every 3 months (every quarter) as an artist in residence. The purpose of the sim is so that residents can experience something new and even create a community.”
Sim Quarterly has an own website.

I had a lot of fun visiting Krak Bak Caye! Thank you Elizabeth for this beautiful installation that provided a short vacation for me. And thank you Electric Monday for providing The Sin Quarterly for installations like this one. I learned that you made the great sound and all the graphics on the invites and posters.

Krak Bak Caye by Elizabeth Jewell at The Sim Quarterly will stay open for the public until July 25th.

Enjoying Bondage May 2021 – Chains and blindfolds at Psi’s realm

28 May 2021 1 Comment

by diomitamaurer in Enjoying bondage series Tags: , , , , , , , , , , ,

One of our favourite places to be in Second Life is Psi’s realm. The sim exists since 2007 and was in direct neighbourhood to Stonehaven, my first place in Second Life where I had a home. I’m very happy, that Psi’s realm still exists – thank you Psi Merlin!
There’s one room, that is for what reason ever the meeting point at Psi’s realm. Monday, May 3rd, I had an inpromptu Enjoying Bondage night there with Flo, Faye (Boy Serenity), Anastasia Serebryakov (shinrakuonji) and Sarah Minotaur (tanyaxfira) (read Dairy 2021 (59) May 3rd/4th At Psi’s realm). And of course I took quite some pictures. One of these pictures is the bas for this month’s Enjoying Bondage series picture.
I added slave Holly from the time when I had stored her at Psi’s realm. Nicely tied up and chained, with restricted view and gag, she got time to get used to the thought of being owned. The picture I selected was taken on April, 22nd.
Further on I added Mistress Jenny and me from a picture that I took at club Domme a Domme on May 4th. Mistress had blindfolded me and was experimenting with the RLV spheres. And finally I added Angelique from a picture with me that I took on May 1st at Heavy Bondage Club.

Events in Second Life 2021 (1) Icons of Fashion – Upcoming May 30th

27 May 2021 Leave a comment

by diomitamaurer in Uncategorized Tags: , , ,

I got a request from my friend Nathalie Monday to write a bit about an upcoming event, the “Icons of Fashion” show. Nathalie promotes the show that is produced by Fortunate Szondi.

When: Sunday, May 30th, at 9 AM SLT (5 PM GMT)
Where: ONE ON ONE AT *VOODOO BAYOU BLUES*
Direct Landmark: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife//198/47/3829

The event is a classic fashion show were the designers walk on a catwalk and present their fashin and themselve. It’s about the clothed not the clothes. Which means it’s about the models themselves and the fashion they love.

Nathalie provided a quite long list of the participants. To my shame I had to admit to Nathalie, that I didn’t know any of these designers. But that is only due to my lack of knowledge. For example there’s one of the oldest jewelers in Second Life, there are renowned models, there are designers who already celebrted 15th anniversary as SL designer. And visiting the fashion show you will for sure learn more about fashion and who’s behind the designs. There shall be 3 walks: one formal, one casual and one dealers choice. It sounds to be exciting!

So get read for the “Icons of Fashion” show on Sunday, May 30th, at 9 AM SLT at ONE ON ONE AT *VOODOO BAYOU BLUES*

Art in Second Life 2021 (48) La Maison d’Aneli June 2021

27 May 2021 Leave a comment

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

On Wednesday, May 26th, a new joined exhibition opened at La Maison d’Aneli. It features the art of Adwehe, DAK Amat, Eylinea, Fly Kugin (flyqueeen), NewFantasy, Senka Beck and Vita Theas. I came across some of the artists before, others were new for me.

NewFantasy paints colourful abstract pictures in in various formats using acryl, ink and markers. She joined SL in 2014, inspired by her friend who she met in Second Life and who insisted that she exhibits in SL. In her skybox at La Maison d’Aneli she showcases about 10 pictures, sorted by theme. You can easily imagine what an eye catcher these picture are in RL.

Vita Thea’s skybox at La Maison d’Aneli showcases many pictures in a broad variety from portraits in black and white to colourful pictures of landscapes, from atmospheric black and white scenes to surreal scenes, from more fantasy pictures to erotic art. Vita can’t be defined by one style.
Vita is in Second life since 2007, she has varied experiences as a maker of clothes and a builder within Second Life. And she spends much time taking pictures for her creations and art projects. Vita has a flickr account as well as an own little gallery “Vita’s camera“.

Senka Beck is another SL veteran with far over 14 years. She sees SL as her playground where she enjoys interacting with peeps and prims, where she captures and releases her inner being.
The work presented at La Maison d’Aneli is titled Alexithtymia. Alexithtymia is the absence of feelings. “The signals are fuzzed the world is black and gray, dimmed. And I sit with it.” When I visited Senka was still setting up her installation and was sitting admist of it. You can grab a seat and sit yourself. Don’t forget to turn sound on: “Every dark has its light – but about that some other time.” There’s also a teleporter that brings you to a second floor.

Dak Amat’s installation at La Maison d’Aneli is a big house of cards, several stories high. Each card is a picture, and there are many of them! The themes vary over the floors. While the motifs on the first floor are very colourful, mostly comic-like drawings, you find portraits (also more like in a comic strip) on the 2nd floor and more serious drawings of mostly older people on the 3rd floor. On the top of the house of cards is an ampule of BioNTech’s Covid 19 vaccine and a speech bubble “Covid Demission”. In the center of it all is a spinning silver spiral. Inside is a teleporter that you can use to to switch between the different floors. The spinning spiral adds some nice effects, in particular when you stand inside of it. The installation is best discovered flying as there is so much to discover!
I couldn’t find out much about Dak Amat. Dak is in SL for more than 14 years and has an own artist studio together with Sof Yify called “Dekape Virtual Land“.

Eylinea is with 3 years still comparably new to Second life. I saw her art before at La Maison d’Aneli and at VeGeTaL PLaNeT Gallery. She’s exploring the possibilities and trying out new things. Her room in the current exhibtion at La Maison d’Aneli is dominated by a central 3D object that spins and changes permanently. It’s quite intriguing to watch it. The walls are covered with pictures of a ballet dancer.
Eylinea writes about herself in the accompanying notecard: “Photographer, cube juggler, light dresser, tattoo artist apprentice, designer, designer of cardboard furniture and lights, jewellery maker…. dreamer at her own time! To sum it up: creator of lots of things, curious about everything. That’s how I could qualify my sl… and my rl!”
If you want to see more of her look up her flickr page.

Adwehe is also quite new to Second Life, just 2,5 years. And like Eylinea, I saw her art before at La Maison d’Aneli and at VeGeTaL PLaNeT Gallery.
Adwehe writes about her current skybox: “I have always fantasized really walking inside my drawings, like in a dream. SL is the perfect platform to realize this dream. In this work i explore an ever changing drawing using lines, light and darkness, and many shades. Creating depth and perspective expanding the dimensions of the exposition room. There are very little colors but some appear dependent on the random choices the script makes. I used textures made up of small parts of charcoal drawings. The charcoal gives a certain warmth against the harder lines. Depending on your viewpoint and the presented state of the room many drawings can appear. You might have to walk/cam around and wait a bit because of the random nature of this. Thoughts about the meaning of this work spin in my head around the topics of information overload and emergence of information actually creating reality itself.”
In Adwehe’s skybox walls, the floors and the objects are constantly changing. Yet you can also influence how they change by walking over pads spread over the floor. But you shouldn’t expect that you can reproduce any setting. One ot the facinating issues with virtual art is that it is temporary, nothing remains. The installation extends over 4 levels, huge poles reach from the ground to the top floor. You can travel between the floors with teleporters. The main installation is nonetheless on the ground floor. But the view from the higher levels down to the the lower levels is intriguing, in particular when other people change the setting by walking over the pads or clicking them.
Adwehe has a flickr page and a gallery at VeGeTaL PLaNeT.

Fly Kugin (flyqueeen), as a live violin performer, is streaming into Second Life from Istanbul, since September 2019. She’s performing improvisation, Jazz & Rock genres, musicals & soundtracls from different time periods from various artists. But Fly also likes to spend her time taking pictures of landscapes and playing with them on photoshop. She is still learning different techniques. Fly started sketch drawing in March 2021. She acquired this passion in RL and it allows her to escape from the stress of everday life and main profession, music.
In her skybox at La Maison d’Aneli Fly showcases 9 pictures arranged in a half circle admist a forest glade. Each picture is placed on a seperate easel. The setting is romantic, with the stars and glowing particles it has a touch of peace and of fantasy. Fly named her exhibition “Mirrors of the earth” and added her thoughts about it written in the background of her pictures: “The earth is our home, our heart is as much as the earth. The only island we have in the ocean of stars. Get rid of hate fron your heart. Because the earth is a place to live in peace”
Fly has an own website with more information and a flickr account.

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

Thursday, May 13th, Mistress was busy first when I went inworld in the afternoon. Flo was present and of course playing skipee. I went seeing Flo and to my surprise Mistress showed up there as well. We played a skipee with Flo and caught up with our mutual news while playing. Angelique joined us and watched Mistress Jenny winning the game easily. Flo had to leave to her RL after the game, Mistress Jenny, Angelique and I went to Carnal Intentions for about half an hour. There was not much going on there. We had a random sub kneeling by us, she had asked for it. It’s always nice being decorated, isn’t it.

Mistress had to return to what she was doing before and I intended to see slave Holly, who was at home in her cell awaiting the timer to run down. But slave Holly went off before I could open the cell. Hence I logged off and tended to my RL.

At night Mistress Jenny and I was alon first and went to Puerto Esclava and then to Heavy Bondage Club oerving profiles while we talked. When Flo and slave Holly had logged in we moved to Carnal Intentions and summoned them to us. Angelique follwed soon after. We spent the night there and even initiated some main chat.

After Flo and Angelique had left us for bed, Mistress Jenny and I went home and said good night to slave Holly and retreated to your skybox. We enjoyed some intimate togetherness ….

Friday, May14th, I met Mistress Jenny twice during the day. In the morning we both had not much time. slave Holly was cleaning the house and I saw her shortly – and made her slave life a bit harder by restricting her view and gagging her. She should know the dirty spots well enough by know to find them even half blind (actually she wear a blindfold and the Anavision HUD now set to “Hawk hood”, a setting resembling a view peeking through a slit in the lower part of the blindfold).
Mistress Jenny had an idea for our party at night and we talked about it when we met in the afternoon again:
“Yay, it’s Friday again. Tonight is T-shirt night. Wear one with a logo that is fun or something you like and enjoy Dress Down Friday – or come as you are. DJ Virgo is spinning the tunes.”
Mistress and I browsed through the marketplace and selected T-shirts for ourselves, Angelique and for Flo. Mistress got one with the imprint “Girls just Wanna Have Fun”, Angelique got one with “Yes. I’m a fucking princess”, Flo got “I’m not short, I’m fun size” and I got “Innocent” for myself. Mistress had to leave after we had changed for the night. I saw Flo, unlocked her and gave her the T-Shirt, then I went visiting a gallery, but the exhibition I wanted to see was not yet open. Hence I logged off.

May 14th – Friday night party: Mistress Jenny, Diomita, Angelique, Flo, Baroness Capelo, Claven Albatros, Morgie Darkstone, Virgo Babii (upper row), Della Randt, Starbright Wingtips, Jayson Dakota, Talos (Talosborn), Snow Vortex, Claire (maddh4tt3r), Firefly Starlight (lower row)

The party at night was fun as always and we enjoyed dancing to good music and chatting in main chat and in private.
