Art in Second Life 2021 (47) Kinds of Minimal by Melusina Parkin

On Monday, May 16th, a new exhibtion of Melusina Parkin has been opened at Desideratum gallery. The exhibtion consists of almost 30 pictures of Melusina Parkin.

The titel of the exhibition “Kinds of Minimal” is very fitting. Her photos tend towards minimalism, which is Melu’s main inclination: simple details from daily life or usual landscapes are the subject of mostly empty scenes, stressing voids, space, geometries, lights; this reveals hidden meanings or pushes the observer to give them her/his own one. Her favorite subjects are wide landscapes, city views, industrial environments, popular lifestyles and daily objects.

It was my first visit to Desideratum Gallery, a “place of exhibitions and entertainment where the desire to have fun contemplating the art and the wonderful people of SL meet.” As far as I could find out the Desideratum Gallery is owned by Péru (Peru Venom).
It is a quite large 2-story bilding with a lot of natural light flooding in through the large class facacde. Melusina’s exhibition extends over both floors.

There’s not much I could add about Melusina’s photo art. Maybe that I think it is amazing that you get this effect just by reducing the complexity, making the spectator focus on just a few, or even just one object, forcing the spectator to look at every single detail, even if there’s none. In addition it increases the value of the few and single objects.
Melusina’s art is a clear contrast to other styles with many layers and endless details.

Melusina is in Second Life since September 2008. She has been a fashion manager, a journalist, a furniture creator, a builder, a decorator and a photographer. Her work as a photographer has been showcased in more than 50 exhibitions – from which I saw just three. Melusina has a flickr account which counts more than 13,000 (!) photographs. Extensive collections of her photos can be seen also on her blog Virtual Exhibits and on some slideshows on Youtube (links under this post). Melusina has several galleries of her own (links also under this post).

On the ground floor you also find a table with books. Those who are regular visitors to Melusina’s exhibitions know these books already:
Melusina All-in-One Exhibits allow you to keep at home the whole exhibit you visited and loved. It’s an alternative kind of the exhibit catalogue: you can hang the object on your home’s walls and enjoy the changing images.
They come in four versions, that you can choose according to your home style: plain or framed, changing image by touch or in random loop. The objects are set as modifiable, so you can adapt them to your walls.
Last but not least you find a notecard with Melusina’s biography by clicking the picture of her above the table with the book.

Thank you Melusina for another great exhibition, thank you Péru (Peru Venom) for providing the space for the arts. I enjoyed my visit a lot. “Kinds of Minimal” by Melusina Parkin will stay open until June 6th, 2021.

Diary 2021 (62) May 10th – 12th A bit of everything

Monday, May 10th, Mistress wasn’t around during the day. I was inworld in the later morning and visited another new gallery. In the afternoon I met with slave Holly. I used tthe time alone with her to have me way and to get serviced by her – or more precisely by her tongue. After this treat for her (and me) I took her to Psi’s realm, we talked a bit and then I went to a shop with her looking for alternative chastity belts.

May 10th: Diomita and slave Holly at home and at Psi’s realm

My night began with an one hour continuation of my blackmail roleplay. When Mistress Jenny came inworld, Angelique, Flo and slave Holly were present as well. After we had caught up with our mutual news, we went seeing them and had a skipee together first. Then we spent the night at Carnal Inteeentions. I can’t really say if there was much going on as I was talking with Mistress most of the time and also with Angelique, Flo and slave Holly. After FLo had left Faye and Annie joined us. Faye’s ultra daring short skirt initiated some main chat finally, but it was already late and we had to leave.

Tuesday, May 11th, I met with Mistress in the afternoon. We stayed at home most of the time and just talked. Finally we went to Carnal Intentions just for a few minutes, then Mistress and I had to tend to our RL again. I didn’t take any picture but there’re already a lot of these in this blog, hence you may picture it *winks*

My night was relaxed. Mistress was not inworld due to her RL. I myself ran late as I was busy in RL. Flo was at home and had already played 5 games of skipee alone – surprise, she won them all. I went to Psi’s realm with her and we watched people for a bit and talked. I had some issues with my body as my breasts were strangely deformed. I’ve had this issue before and I don’t know what causes it. Mostly changing my shape back and forth cures it. If you look at the picture of Flo and me at Psi’s realm, you might notice it.

May 11th: Diomita with Flo, Faye and slave Holly at Psi’s realm and at Carnal Intentions

When slave Holly came inworld we returned home and the three of us played a skipee. After the game I went to Carnal Intentions with Flo and slave Holly. And after Flo left for bed, Faye joined us. I had a relaxed night.

Wednesday, May 12th, I had some time together with Mistress in the afternoon again. We went to club Domme a Domme and talked there. Mistress was in a quite dominatn mood, as she was already the days before and it was very obvious that she enjoyed it a lot. She began to take me another step deeper into my submission to her. We stayed and talked for an hour, then we returned home as Mistress and I had to tend to our RL again.

May 12th: Mistress Jenny and Diomita at club Domme a Domme and at home

At night I was alone first and had a quick hop over the clubs, then I played a skipee alone, but soon Angelique and Flo showed up and we had a game together. Mistress was not inworld that night. We went to Psi’s realm. It was really full and busy there, yet not much main chat was going on. I played a bit with Flo’s RF asylum suit and isolated her in her own world *winks*. When slave slave Holly came inworld, I picked her up at home and took her to Psi’s as well. I had a relaxed night talking with Angelique, slave Holly and Flo, playing around with the their restrictions.

After Flo and Angelique had left for bed, I returned home with slave Holly as I need to pee. I took her to the naughty girls room. I used the Anavision HUD to retrict slave Holly’s view in a way that she could peek under the blindfold…. pictures do tell more than words…

I visited “Genesis” by Moki Yuitza, an exhibition that opened May 8th at DixMix Gallery in room “Amona”.

“Genesis” by Moki Yuitza @ DixMix Gallery (1)

Genesis consists of 10 pictures in which you follow the genesis of a female being that slowly breaks through all walls and barriers until she shows in kind of a victory pose. Each picture is highlighted with a glowinf white frame that increases the expression of each pictures.

Moki Yuitza is in Second Life for over 12 years. I came across her twice lately seeing quite different art from her. I saw Geomorphism at DixMix Gallery in December 2020 (read here) and CELLS at The Sim Quuarterly in March 2021 (read here)
I found this about Moki from a notecard for La Maison d’Aneli: “In RL I am an architect and in this metaverse I found the possibility to realize my idea of ​​space and my architectural fantasy, as well as to share it with other people.”
Moki has also a flickr account and an own website.

“Genesis” by Moki Yuitza @ DixMix Gallery (2)

Thank you Dixmix for providing and curating the DixMix Gallery, thank you Megan for building it and for contributing to it, and last but not least thank you Moki Yuitza for your installation. I enjoyed my visit.
As exhibtions stay open 4 to 5 weeks at DixMix Gallery, “Genesis” by Moki Yuitza should be open for the public until June 4th or June 11th.

Diary 2021 (61) May 7th – 9th Mistress Jenny in jeans

22 May 2021 Leave a comment

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

I had a lazy Friday with quite some time in Second Life. In the later morning I logged in the first time and went on a longer simploring tour. Mistress Jenny was inworld as well, yet busy with her adventure. slave Holly also logged in, we just talked a bit in IM. After my longer simploring tour I wrote the report about it. That took quite some time.
I returned in the later afternoon, but really nothing was going on. And Mistress had told me that she might not be able to come inworld. I had a few invitations on stock and decided to visited a gallery – and wrote another blogpost. For the blog it was a productive day.

May 7th: Diomita simploring

Mistress and I had talked about the theme for our Friday night party the day before, Mistress decided to have something rare for us: “It’s Friday and the weekend is here. We declare it a casual Friday tonight so pull on your blue jeans or your favourite piece of denim, or come as you are. DJ Virgo is spinning the tunes” – variation is key!
We had another fun night with great music.

May 7th – Friday Night Party: Mistress Jenny, Diomita, Flo, Angelique, Ebony Massey, Faye (Boy Serentiy), Elena (Elenasly Serenity), illa Quan, Rihanna (EvelineD) (upper row), Della Randt, Sara (SaraRandall), Starbright Wingtips, Astra Nebula, Claire (maddh4tt3r), Baroness Capelo, Laura (laura00175), Claven Albatros, Arabeth (arabethmora), Virgo Babii

Saturday, May 8th, I met with Mistress Jenny in the afternoon. Angelique was at home too, Hence, after we had caught up, we went seeing her. She had got a lot of demos and gave us a fashion show of about an hour until Mistress Jenny had to lwave for her RL.
At night we played a skipee as teams with Angelique anf Flo. Angelique had got an update for the greedy and the skipee table. Well, sometimes updates are not really a progress in our opinion.
After our game we went to Psi’s realm and later to Carnalt Intentions with Flo and Angelique. It was a relaxed night and we talked just amoung us.

Sunday, May 9th, Mistress Jenny wasn’t inworld during the day due to her RL. I just made a visit to a gallery and worked on this month’s enjoying bondage series picture, but wasn’t inworld that much. Instead I enjoyed the sun in RL.
At night I first played a skipee with Flo. slave Holly came inworld and after we had finished the game, I took Flo and slave Holly to Carnal Intentions. Flo wears the RF Asylum suit now … time to play around with it a bit. We had just arrived when Mistress Jenny came inworld, hence we returned home. we had another round of skipee – Mistress Jenny, Angelique, Flo, slave Holly and I.

We spent the night at Psi’s realm and I played with Flo’s restraints, talked with slave Holly, Angelique and Mistress Jenny. Time flew by quickly again.
Mistress was wearing her Jeans outfit the whole weekend – therefor the title of this diary post.

Diary 2021 (60) May 5th/6th Maurer’s property

Wednesday, May 5th, I met Mistress Jenny quickly in the morning. She was busy, hence I took Kitty, who was with her, with me to Psi’s realm, where I just chatted with her (no picture, as I forgot to take one). In the afternoon I met Mistress again and we quickly caught up with our mutual news. Then we went seeing slave Holly. Unfortunately Mistress had to leave again soon after.

I stayed with slave Holly and added some rules for her and gave her some instructions (no details here). Sometimes it is like that … slave Holly had to leave for her RL, slave Flo came inworld. We got visitors on our sim just seconds later: Rihanna (evelineD) and her sub Kim (Kim2007 Beaumont). We had met them the night before at Psi’s realm and I had a nice chat with Rihanna there. I went seeing Rihanna and Kim and gavem them a tour over the island – and Flo played a round of skipee against herself (she won it – surprise). As I wrote – sometimes it weired: Rihanna had to leave when we were just at our house and left Kim, slave Holly returned, Flo left. And for me it was also time to tend to my RL again. Hence I left slave Holly and Kim. As the two had chatted the night before, they might have had some fun being together….
And once again, I forgot taking pictures, hence there’s just one from that afternoon.

At night we played a skipee with Flo. slave Holly and also Kim were present when we finished our game. Mistress and I went to Carnal Intentions with Flo, Kim and slave Holly – and Elena (Elenaslv Sereniy) joined us there. I wanted to play with slave Holly’s vision and blindfolded her. Unfortunately her blindfold was outdated and didn’t use RLV spheres. Hence I took slave Holly to Dark Wishes for an update. It turned out that the update there didn’t work, so we did the update at Pak, then we returned to Carnal Intentions. Again the blindfold did not work as intended as the hidden background was all white for slave Holly. I had quite some chats and time flew by quickly and Flo went off to bed. We followed soon after. But before we retreated to our skybox, slave Holly edited her blindfold so that the background is black now. And we tested it – it is really a great tool to keep someone fully focused.

Mistress and I met Thursday afternoon, May 6th, again. After we had filled in each other about our news, we picked up slave Holly at home and took her to Psi’s realm with us. slave Holly succeeded in adding the hairbase that we bought two days before. It looks great and makes our slave outstanding and recognizable. At Psi’s realm we just talked amoung us and I played with slave Holly’s blindfold – and she sent some nice snapshots.

After Mistress had left, I checked slave Holly’s rules and made some minor changes. Mistress Jenny had mentioned that she wants to mark slave Holly at night. We prepared that somehow final step for her (by testing the tattoo *winks*). After this more technical issue I rewarded slave Holly and allowed her to lick me – and I enjoyed it. Finally I decided which cage to assign to slave Holly and enacted another rule – to log off and in in her cage.
It was a varied full afternoon.

May 6th: Mistress Jenny and Diomita with slave Holly at Psi’s realm and at home

When Mistress and I returned at night, none of our family was yet present. I told Mistress that slave Holly licked me before and Mistress spontaneouly decided to take the opportunity to get licked and to provide her poison to me. Thank you Mistress. We went to Puerto Esclava afterwards and the moment we arrived slave Holly anf Flo showed up, hence we returned home. We played a skipee with the slaves – and the game had a strange end after I won it: the table distroyed itself! It is Angelique’s game table and I contacted her. She was surprised about it but knew why. She had updated the table in the store.
We took slave Holly to our dungeon next. I fixed her at Mistress Jenny’s rack. slave Holly got her tattoos stiched by me: Maurer’s property on her back and our rose on her right breast. Mistress Jenny supervised the procedure and Flo tried to calm slave Holly. Unfortunately I was so busy that I forgot to take pictures. I just took two pictures afterwards.

It was already quite late and we went to Carnal Intentions. slave Holly and Flo crashed on teleport, slave Holly even had a roll-back crash. Flo didn’t return as it was bedtime for her. We stayed about half an hour at Carnal Intentions and just talked and watched. Then we returned home and called it a night.

The BDSM Collaborative Hunt – May 15th – May 31st

Currently a BDSM Hunt is taking place in Second Life. More then 20 sims are participating in the hunt. On every sim you can collect gifts and while you search for the gifts – you explore the sims. The hunt started on May 15th and ends on May 31st – but you can visit the sims anytime even after the hunt. For me visiting is a nice variation and hopefully I find new places to stay and to have fun.
There is a website with all the landmarks and with clues where to find the gifts. I will use this website as a little directory of places to visit.

So far I saw New Libertine Shibari Court, a place with many many Shibari devices in a nice surrounding. I saw Bellaure Manor & slave storage, another BDSM sim which seems to have also a nice community. I visited Dark Discipline, which is not only a BSDM sim but even more a very well made setting with nice views. I was at the House of Odds and I visited Tempelhof. At Tempelhof you can make a scavenger hunt for one price. The setting of Tempelhof is extraordinairy and full of details and furnished houses. I had really fun with the hunt.

As I mentioned above there are many more sim participating in the BDSM Collaborative Hunt and I will visit more of them, but I wanted to publish a quick post as long as the hunt is going on. But the sims can be visited anytime. Thank you all, who initiated this event.

Art in Second Life 2021 (45) “Quelqu’un” by Catherine Nikolaidis

I visited “Quelqu’un”, an exhibtion of photographs by Catherine Nikolaidis at DixMix Gallery in room Abby.

“Quelqu’un” is French and means “somebody”. The exhibtion consists of 13 black&white photographs, photographs obviously taken in Second Life and processed with light and shadow effects into erotic art. All photographs show women in lingerie, never fully naked and always leaving enough room for the fantasies and stories of the spectator.

Examples of “Quelqu’un” by Catherine Nikolaidis at DixMix Gallery (1)

I saw Catherine Nikolaidis’ artful photographs when I visited “Soulportraits” at Itakos Art Gallery in March 2021 (read here). Catherine Nikolaidis was born in Greece and lives in the Netherlands. She joined Second Life in 2007 and photography is one of her passions. She writes about herself: “I believe strongly in sharing. I believe in communicating. I believe in creation and inspiration. I love black & white. I feel strongly for music.”
Catherine is a photographer, blogger & brand manager for several stores. She runs her own website and shares her work also on her flickr page.

Examples of “Quelqu’un” by Catherine Nikolaidis at DixMix Gallery (2)

I like Catherine’s artful photographs a lot and enjoyed my visit. Thank you Dixmix for providing and curating the DixMix Gallery, thank you Megan for building it and for contributing at it. I enjoyed my visit and seeing Catherine’s art. The exhibition “Quelqu’un” by Catherine Nikolaidis will stay open until June 4th.

Dairy 2021 (59) May 3rd/4th At Psi’s realm

19 May 2021 Leave a comment

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

Monday, May 3rd, I met with Mistress in the afternonn for an hour. It became a really full hour. We went to Heavy Bondage Club to catch up. And Mistress had quite a lot to fill me in about, not just about her RL. She had been inworld in the morning and her adventure is going on. I’m very happy about it. Our experiences outside of the family help to keep our SL varied and thus we’re all benefitting. And it helps keeping Mistress in a good mood *winks*.
We talked for 45 minutes, then we went to our loft skybox where Mistress made sure that my addition to her is being kept up. Thank you Mistress Jenny.

May 3rd: Mistress Jenny and Diomita at Heavy Bondage Club and at our loft skybox

At night Mistress Jenny was not around. I played a skipee with Flo first and then I took her to Psi’s realm. It became an entertaining night. There was quite something to watch and we heard a lot of spanks. Then all of a sudden a latex encased thing dropped out from nowhere in front of us. Inspired by all the spanks I heard before I spanked the object as as it tried to run away, I secured and leashed it.
Not long after a slave bumped akwardly into me. She was already tied up properly. I spanked her and as she tried to run away as well, I also had to leash her.
With Faye (Boy Serenity) joining us I had quite some subs and slaves around me – what began as a little play turned out to become a bondage night. And I even tried to recruit more to decorate me. That didn’t work out but it was fun and gave reason to quite some main chat. I had a really nice, relaxed and enjoyable night.

After Flo and my toys had left I took Faye with me to Carnal Intentions and watched what was going on there for a few minutes until Faye had to leave for bed.

Tuesday, May 4th, I met with Mistress Jenny in the afternoon. We first caught up with our mutual news, and I had quite something to fill Mistress Jenny in about as I had another continuation of my blackmail roleplay in the late night before (still no details here). It made me feel very submissively and Mistress immediately took the opportunity to push me deeper *sighs*. We went to club Domme a Domme for about half an hour and Mistress tested the RLV spheres in my blindfolds, a featuer that had just recently been made available in the Firestorm viewer. Our hour went by way to quickly.

May 4th: Mistress Jenny and Ehesklavin Diomita at home and at club Domme a Domme

slave Holly and slave Flo were present and I went seeing them. They were playing skipee and were just done when I came by. slave Holly won her first game by the way. Flo had to leave for dinner and I took slave Holly with to get her another hairbase. We returned home and slave Holly tried to put it on, but failed. Sometimes it is not easy to overcome the technical issues and I couldn’t really help as I’m not familiar with her mesh head brand.

At night we first played a skipee as teams with Flo and Angelique. Mistress and Angelique had the better cards this time. Angelique left us to persue other activities afterwards. Mistress Jenny and I went to Psi’s realm with Flo. We stayed the whole night at Psi’s. slave Holly and later also Faye joined us there. We chatted all night long amoung us and with a few other guests there. I know that there was quite something going on around as it was full, but honestly I was quite occupied chatting with Mistress, slave Holly and one of the guests there.

Diary 2021 (58) May 1st/2nd Lazy Art Weekend

18 May 2021 Leave a comment

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

I had a lazy Saturday as May 1st is a holiday where I live. Hence I spent quite some time inworld. Mistress wasn’t online all day long due to her RL. In the later morning I had a longer conversation with a switch and had her at my feet. After lunch I went visiting a gallery and I had fun there.
I sticked around inworld, idling at Heavy Bondage Club and club DeLust while writing the report about my gallery visit and while tending to other things in RL. After I had finished the blogpost I returned home and played a round of skipee with Flo. Then I returned to Heavy Bondage Club and met Angelique there and later Faye (Boy Serenity) and lily (lily Bloodrose) joined Angelique and me there. We chatted and spent a nice time there before dinner.

After my lazy Saturday …. I had an enjoyable, relaxed night with Mistress and Flo. We played a skipee first, helped Flo changing into a new latex catsuit that she got at DHB, then moved to Psi’s realm and later to Carnal Intentions where Faye joined us shortly. And that’s it about that Saturday.

May 1st: Mistress Jenny and Diomita with Flo and Faye at Psi’s realm and at Carnal Intentions

Sunday, May 2nd, was another laszy day inworld for me. Beside that I stood around and looked good quite some time, I spent my time with visiting a gallery and writing about it before lunch and visiting a larger art installation and writing about it in the afternoon. So for the blog it was a quite productive day, not so for my other passions in Second Life as simply nothing was going on and I couldn’t provoke any fun either. Anyway, it was not bad at all.

Our night was relaxed again. After our game of skipee, Mistress Jenny and I took Flo to Psi’s realm. It was full and entertaining there and we spent the rest of the night there. Faye came by and she decorated us well too.

Art In Second Life 2021 (44) Cancel Culture by Ambre Singh

Ambre Singh’s art has become an inherent part of this blog. This year I visited her new main gallery at Noir’wen City (read Art in Second Life 2021 (15) Ambre Singh Gallery at Noir’Wen City) and I saw her exhibtion “Titilliations” (read here).

I got an invitation from Ambre to visit her new exhibition “Cancel Culture” at Noir’Wen City that opened May 1st.

Ambre Singh’s exhibition “Cancel Culture” at Noir’Wen City – poster / entrance area / Ambre Singh herself in the entrance area

Together with the invitation Ambre sent out a notecard with a description and her toughts:
“The human being is full of contradictions. Homo Sapiens (in Latin, sapiens means “one who knows”) spends a good part of his existence trying not to know. This tendency to deny, probably the source of all psychoses, is the main activity of the ego. It is so much easier to deny or erase or eliminate what bothers us, even if it never works.
Today, our worldviews are being challenged more than ever. And instead of using crises to evolve, we tend to mask the problems with a veneer of outdated ideas. We rewrite textbooks, we rename streets, we sterilize languages, we censor everything that goes beyond. For the common good, of course.
I believe that to accept reality without wanting to deny it, a good dose of humor is needed.
In 14 paintings, this exhibition is an opportunity to laugh at our contradictions and, perhaps, to gain some sapience.“

What you will see at the exhibition are 14 world famous landmarks and pieces of art – seen with the eyes of Ambre, and knowing her it didn’t surprise me that her view is kinky and feminist. The first picture I looked at was Ambre Singh’s Statue of Felicity also known as Statue of Liberty.

Statue of Felicity at Ambre Singh’s exhibition “Cancel Culture” at Noir’Wen City

Along with the picture comes a text explaining her view on history and why the original landmark was replaced with the one you can see nowadays in the physical world.
With the texts Ambre Singh’s pictures tell a new story along with some true facts.
