Simploring 2018 (63) Aphantasia

For my simploring tour on Saturday, July 21st, I selected Aphantasia from scoop.it SL Destinations. Aphantsia is an adult homestead sim owned by Benny Green (benygreen). In the landmark profile it is described as “A naturally themed artistic environment. Inspiration for artistic creations. All are welcome.“

Aphantasia is a group of islands, connected by rope bridges. Most of the islands are abundantly covered with forests. The islands melt nicely with the sim’s background.

The landing point is in a round hut. You can join the Aphantasia group there to get rezzing rights. In the hut you also find a trap door that functions as a teleporter to 3 destinations: Houseboat, Conservatory and The Folly. I decided to explore and discover Aphantasia on foot. The first place I discovered is just by the landing hut. On the pier is a table with 2 chairs, fully set up for fine dinning and really a bit weired and decadent in this environment. What a great place to have dinner with a loved one!

Impressions of Aphantasia (1) – Landing point, fine dining and houseboat

Walking through the thick forest of Aphantasia was fun, you really feel like being in the midst of nature. The second place I visited was the houseboat. The houseboat offers some places to sit in the front and in the back. Inside it is nicely furnished and it looks like being inhabited by a family with kids. I like the little robot running around.

Impressions of Aphantasia (2) – the houseboat

On my way through the forests I discovered the ruins of a house. The place is not that easy to find in the forest with its high trees. The place is used as a hideaway. In the middle is a bathtube surrounded by flourishing flowers, very romantic.
Another romantic place is not far from the ruins – the folly. The folly is quite outstanding situated on a rock and again connected to the islands by a rope bridge. Another place to cuddle.
I also tried out the hot-air balloon that hoovers over an island that was cleared of the forest to have a landing and starting place for the ballon. I couldn’t travel with the balloon, but I could get into it (I had to fly to it) and enjoy the view over Aphantasia.

Impressions of Aphantasia (3) – the ruins, the folly and the hot-air balloon

I continued my simploring tour and walked to a group of bulidings on the next island. To me it looked like a vacation village as the first small building has a sign “Office” and the other buildings are not furnished. There are some animals laying on the street or standing on the porch. They seem to enjoy the peaceful atmosphere. Not far from the vacation village is a camp site.

Impressions of Aphantasia (4) – vacation village and camp site

The conservatory is quite extraordinairy. It is furnished with vintage upholstery, there are shelfs with books, globes, a bed and a desk. The windows are dirty and thus it is a bit dark but also very comfortable inside – a place to retreat for talking or reading. You wouldn’t expect a place like this in the midst of the forests.

Impressions of Aphantasia (5) – The conversatory

Aphantasia is really a great place for a short vacation within Second Life. You feel like being somewhere on the northern hemisphere, be it Scandinavia or Canada. The forests look really natural and you can literally smell the nature. There are some more nice places to sit and cuddle and enjoy. But they are not that easy to find and I may not have discovered them all. I really had a very enjoyable hour simploring Aphantasia, another gem in this virtual world.

Some more impressions of Aphantasia (6)

Many thanks to Benny Green for providing your place to the public.

Simploring 2018 (62) Formosa Cafe

27 Jul 2018 2 Comments

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

For my simploring tour on Wednesday, July 18th, I picked “Formosa Cafe” from scoop.it SL Destinations. The Formosa Cafe is a restaurant and bar founded in 1925 and located at 7156 Santa Monica Boulevard at the intersection with North Formosa Avenue, in West Hollywood, California (source wikipedia).
When I followed the provided link to read a little bit about it, I came across Second Life Newers, a blog that exists as long as our blog does, written by several authors. It is about the people, places, things, and events across Second Life and has an extra section about places. Hard to belive that I never came across it before. I added the link to Second Life Newers to the “Other links” section on the right side bar.

The Formosa Cafe in Real Life and in Second Life

In the Second Life Newers blog is a very detailed desripction about Formosa Cafe along with information about it’s creator Gardenia Malheur titled “The Formosa“, written by Klaus Bereznyak. As this post is so detailled and complete, it is hard to add anything – and I won’t.
In his post Klaus Bereznyak also provided a link to another blog post about Formosa Cafe, which was published by riverpearl in her blog “Million Happy Endings” titeled “The Formosa Cafe“. I just had a short look into riverpearl’s blog but its amoung other things also about places in Second Life. I added Million Happy Endings as well to the “Other links” section on the right side bar (Remark: I couldn’t find riverpearl or Pearl Grey in Second Life, hence I assume her username must be different).

Impressions of my visit to Formosa Cafe in Second Life

Of course I also visited the Formosa Cafe and I was not disappointed at all. It is a great cafe and you can sense the atmosphere. It is buildt with love and passion by Gardenia Malheur and as I build myself a little bit in Second Life, I know what it means to get it done in such a perfection, in particular if you want to build something that exists in Real Life.
Comparing the picture from wikipedia with the Formosa Cafe in Second Life, I’m impressed! There’s so much to see and discover in Second Life, that I’d need to get a 3rd and 4th life!

Thank you Gardenia for creating Formosa Cafe and for sharing it with the public. Many thanks also to Klaus Bereznyak and to riverpearl for the great blog posts about it. I enjoyed my short simploring tour.

Thank you, Annie. I had only found Klaus.

Simploring 2018 (61) Adele

22 Jul 2018 1 Comment

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

Saturday, July 14th, I found some time for simploring again. I selected Adele from scoop.it SL Destinations. There’s not much information about Adele, the landmark description is empty. Adele is owned by Lelu Anatine and in her profile you find a short description: “My little piece of paradise. Come visit!” and she added the tags “photography, relax, explore, enjoy, hang out“.

Adele – overview

Adele is a moderate homestead sim, it’s an U-shaped lush island with a Caribbean touch. The landing is on a wooden platform in the middle of the bay formed by the U-shape of the island. From there you have a nice view to Adele.
There’s a signpost where you can join the Adele group to get rez rights for taking pictures. The signpost also points to a coffee shop and to a gallery, that is going to open soon. But the signpost is not a teleporter. I thought I could take the boat, that is next to the landing to get to the island, but it is just to sit and pose. Hence I had to swim from the platform to the island (actually I flew *winks*).

Impressions of Adele (1) – Landing and residential house

On the island are just a few bulidings, outstanding is a large residential home quite in the center of the island. It is open, hence I dare to have a look into it. It is fully furnitured with love for the detail and offers places to sit, particulary on the 2nd floor. The 3rd floor is used as an atelier and from the roof terrace you can enjoy the view on the bay.
The other larger building is the coffee shop. It is a bit hidden behind large palm trees and is build on poles, hence you have to walk up to it. The main room is a nice meeting area, equipped for parties.

Impressions of Adele (2) – around the wrecked fisher boat

Adele is a very peaceful and beautiful island. On my simploring tour I found many places to rest, to cuddle, to sit and to dream. There’s a surfer’s hut and another beach house, there’re loungers, a hammock, a swing, a canopy bed and other places by the beach.
On one coast you come across the wreck of on old fisher boat and close to it is another hut with a nice platform.

Impressions of Adele (3) – the Coffee shop

Lelu Anatine writes about herself that SL photography is one of her passions. It seems to me, that she created her little piece of paradies also to this passion. During my short visit I didn’t discover all corners of Adele, I just got a first impression, but it was very enjoyable.
Lelu succeeded in making Adele look quite natural, everything fits, be it the sign post at one of the beaches or the butterflies that I noticed in the hut next to the wrecked fisher boat or be it the seagulls flying around the main residential house.

Impressions of Adele (4) – at the beach

Adele is a place to retreat to and to dream, a corner of SL where you literally can escape from everyday life, just as it should be. And of course it is a great place to take pictures. Thank you Lelu for sharing your sim with the public.

Diary 2018 (121) July 10th/11th kinkploring Club Fem

Wednesday, July 10th, I met Gwen in the afternoon. I will refer to her as slave Gwen from now on, although she’s not owned by us. But you never know what the future has on stock and she sticks with us for quite some weeks already just like slave Leana. I teased and talked with slave Gwen and continued her education. When Mistress Jenny came inworld we went to Mesmerize Dungeon as our sim was restarted by Linden Labs. Later we went to Heavy Bondage Club with slave Gwen. We just chatted and caught up with our news.

The night before before, Mistress Jenny rewarded slave kelly by allowing her to roam freely, not even on our island but also visiting other sims. We haad just left Heavy Bondage Club and had hopped over to Domme a Domme, when Mistress Jenny had the following private chat.

xx: Oh, you left HBC. I was going to say I met one of your slaves last night.
Mistress Jenny: Kelly?
xx: Yes.
Mistress Jenny: was she being good?
xx: She spoke very highly of you two and I was very impressed with the level of control exercied over her.
Mistress Jenny: oh we do
xx: Yes, she was being very good.
Mistress Jenny: that was her first taste of freedom in months, we thought she might make the most of it
xx: She said that. I thought that was very hot. Both that you imposed that on her, and that she endured for you.
Mistress Jenny: she is a very lucky slave
xx: Yes she is. I told her I was quite jealous.
Mistress Jenny: thank you contacting us, getting feedback is always a good thing
xx: My pleasure.

Back at home we shortly saw slave Leana and that’s it about our afternoon …. and I forgot taking any picture.

July 10th at home: Mistress Jenny and Diomita with Angelique and slave Flo / with slave kelly

Our night was short as I ran late. We met with Angelique and slave Flo and discussed the structure of slave Flo’s wardrobe. She’s having fun setting everything up from the scratch with her new meshbody. As I forgot taking a picture in the afternoon, I made a picture of us before we played skipee. Angelique and I won it against Mistress Jenny and slave Flo.
While we were playing slave kelly joined us and reported about her roaming. Mistress teased her about her stay at Heavy Bondage Club but finally showed her the private chat she had about slave kelly. Before Mistress asked me to restrict slave kelly again, she promised that we might grant her another day off soon, if she keeps on behaving well and pleasing us.

Wednesday, July 11th, we had a short but busy afternoon inworld. Mistress Jenny and I met Angelique, slave Gwen and slave kelly and when I asked if anyone had any news, Angelique said that there’s a new RLV-area at Club Fem. Culb Fem? I admitted that I didn’t remember that I’ve ever been there. But Angelique knew better and referred to a post that I published in this blog in March 2017 (read here). The Club Fem has moved several times since then. We decided to visit it.

July 11th: Mistress Jenny, Diomita and Angelique with slave kelly and slave Gwen visiting Club Fem – Meeting Kel (kellyshackles) and Cath Ode (cath6)

The landmark profile describes Club Fem as “a social community for females Bi, Straight, or Lesbian, it’s BDSM-friendly. Visit our club, beach, boudoir, or dungeon in an atmosphere of tolerance and acceptance.” It is tagged with “Domme, Mistress, BDSM, Dominant, submissive, slave, femdom”.
The main area of Club Fem, where you can socialize, is on a sky platform. It contains the landing point, a cafe, a patio and the disco. We met kel (kellyshackles) and Cath Ode (cath6) there and after some chatting Kel offered to give us a short tour. We visited the boudoir, the shibari room and the dungeon, all of them located in seperate, equal skyboxes, that are not too large but large enough for the purpose.

Club Fem: Main area (upper left) / Boudoir (upper right) / Dungeon (lower left) / Shibari Room (lower right)

Then kel and Cath showed the newly opened RLV area to us. Again you reach it by a teleport entering an old phone booth. You must join the Club Fem group and wear a particular HUD in order to be allowed accessing the area. The HUD contains a relay. Cath assured to us that all potential restrictions are revealed when you teleport out of the area. The HUD can be grabbed from a box right next to the phone booth.

Impressions of the RLV area of Club Fem

Our visit to the RLV area of Club Fem was just short as we ran out of time. It has several rooms, which all are dedicated to different kinks, hence there’s something for everybody’s taste.
Thank you kel (kellyshackles) and Cath Ode (cath6) for giving us this tour! We should return.

Wednesday night was varied. When I came inworld I began to update all slideshows at home by adding new pictures. slave Gwen was present and when I came to update the slideshow at our main house, I had her leashed by my side. Angelique came in. Instead of saying hello she said “What is going on here!” (remark: I believe her that she said hello before but she might have been out of chat range). What an invitation for spanking and punishing her! I ordered her into the corner and spanked her with my bare hand while I told her off about her manners. In fact there was nothing going on but updating the slide show.

July 11th: Diomita and Angelique after spanking her / slave Gwen

slave Gwen had to watch how Angelique bum became more and more red. When I was done, I left Angelique standing in the corner and locked slave Gwen away in a cell next to the living room. Thus she will learn, that I can do that without any reason.

July 11th: Mistress Jenny, Diomita, slave Flo and Angelique – “the accident” / full house: Argi, slave Flo, Rubber Rocket Doll Anne, Diomita, Mistress Jenny, Angelique (from left to right)

Then Mistress Jenny and slave Flo joined in. We chatted and caught up. Angelique stayed quite quiet. All of a sudden she began to pee. Oh dear! My spanking must have had a particular effect. We didn’t have the time to really discuss this accident that came so surpprisingly because Anne (AnneWanne) showed up. She’s still a Rubber Rocket Doll and still in her personal cell on the porch of our house. We went outside to see her and we even understood some of her garbling (she will be back but is busy in her RL right now). And then Argi came by too …. As I said it was a varied night.

Simploring 2018 (60) Rusted Farm

For my short simploring tour on Sunday, July 8th, I dediced to follow Inara Pey’s simploring tours and visited Rusted Farm. Inara’s blog post “A Rusted Farm in Second Life” is quite elaborated and detailled and a good preparation for a visit.


Rusted Farm is an installation by Terrygold and is located at Solo Arte, an initiative for the encouragement, diffusion and promotion of art in Second Life, that was founded by Μelania (melaniabis), but as far as I could find out, Terrygold herself is co-owning it.

I will refrain from writing a descriptive blog post about Rusted Farm, instead I want to refer to Inara Pey’s post about it. I enjoyed my visit very much. Besides the messages that Rusted Farm wants to spread and besides the thoughts and awarenesses that Terrygold wants to initiate I was facinated by the rusted recycle insects and robots.

Impressions of Rusted Farm by Terrygold (1)

They are very detailled and look different from every viewing angle. In particular I recommend to play a bit with the windlight time setting and to look at them at night. They glow or have LED’s and add a particular, strange atmosphere to the scenery. But that’s something pictures can’t really capture, so you have to do that on your own.

Impressions of Rusted Farm by Terrygold (2)

Thank you Terrygold for this installation, I enjoyed my visit a lot!

Simploring 2018 (59) Chouchou

15 Jul 2018 1 Comment

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

Once again I looked into scoop.it SL Destinations to select a destination for my simploring tour Saturday, July 7th. I choose Chouchou. Actually what I knew before arriving was nothing as the text of the blog, where Chouchou is mentioned is in Japanese.

I was quite surprised about what I saw upon landing at Chochou: a group of sandbacks, one tree, a piano, a ladder leading up into the sky, an old large birdcage – and that’s it. But is was surprsingly well visited. I was not alone, about 10 people were at the homestead sim, that carries a maximum of 20 avatars.
Upon landing you get the offer of taking a cinematic HUD, that will enhance your experience. It adds two large black bars on the top and on the buttom of your screen and changes the way your screen reacts to moving commands. As mentioned in the notecard that cames with it “It takes a little time to get use to it, but once you get the idea, you’ll be in a different world”. Obviously I was not patient enough, I took it off again.

Impressions of Chouchou (Ground level)

Chouchou is a Japanese music duo consisting of vocalist juliet Heberle and pianist arabesque Choche, which is formed in a virtual world, SecondLife to search for new possibilities of music. The homestead sim Chouchou is owned by juliet Heberle. The duo has it’s own website, that looks very professional, has a lot of information, professional videos, connection to itunes, downloads and the possiblity to buy CD’s of Chouchou.
To celebrate Chouchou’s 10th anniversary, Chouchou releases three albums (CD/Digital) “The Best of Chouchou [2007-2017] I – III” on Feb 23rd, 2018. The albums include songs representing their early works to latest works selected mainly by fans voting from 119 songs released in the past 10 years from 2007 to 2017.

Impressions of Chouchou – momento mori

Back to the sim Chouchou. As I mentioned before, there’s not that much to see where you land. You can listen to Chouchou’s music of course! And the place might be used to concerts too. But there’s more to see. The ladder reaching up into the sky serves as a teleport point. I first went visiting the Cathedral in the clouds “memento mori“.
It is a very impressive large cathedral with a long long stairway you have to walk up to enter the cathedral. I changed my windlight settings as the region’s windlight didn’t really show the large dimensions of the cathedral. Instead of an altar there’s a piano. I assume another place for concerts. For this cathedral alone it’s worth visiting Chochou.
From the ladder you can also go to Islamey, which is a Japanese garden, small but beautiful, a showcase of Japanese garden culture, just lovely.

Impressions of Chouchou – Islamey

Again I discovered a new corner of Second Life, a place for a music duo that was formed in this virtual world and is connected strongly to the physcial world. My thanks go to juliet Heberle for providing Chouchou to the public.

Simploring 2018 (58) Diotima, Ocio y Cultura

13 Jul 2018 2 Comments

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

After my visit to the exhibition “Fractal Chaos Theory by Redi”  I got in contact to Redi (Red Bikcin). She appreciated my report about her exhibition and told me that she also liked the fractals of Gem Preiz, a passion we share. She even made a little book about Gem Preiz, that she provided to me. It attaches to the HUD and shows te work of Gem Preiz along with a text in Spanish. To bad that I don’t understand Spanish at all.

Example pages of LIBRO GEM PREIZ ARTISTAS SL 2 by Red Bikcin

Redi also invited me to see the other parts of Diotima, Ocio y Cultura, the place where her current exhibition is located in a skybox. I visited Diotima, Ocio y Cultura on Tuesday, July 3rd, late night.
Diotima, Ocio y Cultura (Ocio y Cultura is Spanish and means leisure and culture) consists of several buildings, courts and a beach area. There’re two art galleries, a disco, a pub, a small shopping mall with an art shop among others and a grand theatre. From the basements of these buildings you can access the beach. This all pretty much explains the name Ocio y Culture.

Diotima, Ocio y Cultura – overview

Of course I visited the 2 art galleries. The first currently shows an exhibtion by Oceanida called Monster. Ana (oceanida) makes photographs in black and white. Monster shows variations of the title picture in several colours arranged in a way that they mirror to the floor provided in different viewing experience. In a second room the exhibition shows surreal b/w photographs. The room is divided by transparent coloured wall and this visual effect provides a particular focus on the pictures itself.

Impressions of “Monster by Oceanida” at R&D Gallery, Diotima (1)

You can grab a folder with information about the artist close to the entrance to the second room. It contains the poster of the exhibition, a business card from Oceanida, a link to Oceanida’s website and some information about the exhibition, unfortunately that is in Spanish once again, so I couldn’t really read and understand it.

Impressions of “Monster by Oceanida” at R&D Gallery, Diotima (2)

The second art gallery shows the work of Barry Richez, an artist from France. It’s about fractals once again and titeled “Dreams in Space Fractals”. The fractals are displayed on the walls of the 1st and 2nd floor. They are static. On the 2nd floor you find a animated 3D plastique with poofs spreading pigeons and hearts. It is called “Peace and Love”, how fitting.

Impressions of “Dreams in Space Fractals by Barry Richez” at R&D Gallery, Diotima

After visiting the 2 art galleries I had a short walk over to the disco and the “Diotima pub” (I’m pretty sure there’s a typo and it should have been named “Diomita’s pub” *winks*) as well as to the shopping mall with it’s library and art shop. From there you can also acess the beach. I ended my visit of Diotima, Ocio y Cultura with a short look at the grand theatre.

Impressions of Diotima, Ocio y Cultura: Disco (upper left) / Diotima Pub (upper right) / art shop (lower left) / Gran Teatro (lower right)

As I know now Diotima, Ocio y Cultura is owned by Redi (Red Bekcin). It was once founded together with someone else, hence the name of the owning Group “Red&Danni”. Thank you for providing your space for the art as well as for leisure. Too bad for me that it seems to be most for a Spanish community.

Simploring 2018 (57) Another Planet by Cica Ghost

11 Jul 2018 Leave a comment

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

I became a regular visitor of Cica Ghost installation. I simply like her particular style and her art often is soothing to the soul as while you’re diving deep into the phantasy worlds created by her. This time it is Another Planet.

You arrive on a deserted unreal planet. There’s no vegetation and the rocky ground is structured with patterns simliar to printed integrated circuits. There’re no buildings but a clutter of melted frames and structures that look like leftovers of former buildings that were totally destroyed by an explosion or something like that. Some meteorites hoover over the planet like satellites.

Another Planet by Cica Ghost: at the landing point (upper left) / overview (lower left) / Alien Diomita with other aliens (upper and lower right)

Another planet is inhabited – of course – by aliens. I noticed 2 different forms of one and the same species, two genders perhaps. While the first form stands with bodies that look like pyramid cake made of rusty iron, the other form is larger and lies around. Both dont move. The heads and faces of the aliens are dominated by huge black eyes.

Upon your arrival you can decide to discover Another Planet as a human or as an alien. Cica provides the alien body at the landing point. I first explored as an alien and made a second tour as human. I met Cica herself in her alien form and the time I was visiting Bryn Oh was with her. There are two ways to travel around, either on foot or flying using one of the different planes or flying platforms. When flying you just sit and watch as you can’t steer the plane or platform.

Another Planet by Cica Ghost: Alien Diomita exploring (upper left anr right) / Alien Diomita in the foreground looking at Alien Cica and Bryn Oh (lower left) / another human visitor flying around exploring (lower right)

“Find out if you’re still human, observe yourself from another planet” is the quote Cica Ghost choose for her installation. It is from Benny Bellamacina, who’s a songwriter, musician, poetic humorist and children’s author. Indeed the humans do look as being the strangers, the aliens on Another Planet. And the aliens living on Another Planet seem to watch the strange beings, the human visitors, through their big eyes. Yes, maybe we should look on humans and on our planet from a more distant point to get things right again and to preserve humanity.

More impressions from my visit to Another Planet by Cica Ghost

Cica impressed me once again with her creativity. It was fun exploring Another Planet and to get out from everyday life entering a peaceful fantasy world even within Second Life. Thank you very much, Cica!

Simploring 2018 (56) The Leviathan Skeleton

07 Jul 2018 Leave a comment

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

For my simploring tour Sunday, July 1st, I picked a destination that I found at scoop.it SL Destinations – The Leviathan Skeleton. The picture at scoop.it caught my attention, I couldn’t read anything about it though as it was in Japanese.
The Leviathan Skeleton, what’s that? I looked up Leviathan at wikipedia:
“Leviathan is a sea monster referenced in the Hebrew Bible in the Book of Job, Psalms, the Book of Isaiah, and the Book of Amos. The word Leviathan has come to refer to any sea monster, and from the early 17th century has also been used of overwhelmingly powerful people or things. In Modern Hebrew, the word now simply means “whale”.”
(excerpt from Wikipedia)

The Leviathan Skeleton

And in Second Life it is what the name expresses, a large skeleton of a sea monster. The Leviathan Skeleton is owned by Governor Linden, hence it is a place provided by Linden Lab. It is located in a sailing area. The skelteon in on a sandbank and a real landmark. On the island you find boards asking you not to click boats when you watch a sailing race from the island.

Impressions of “The Leviathan Skeleton” (1)

The Leviathan Skeleton offers some places to sit. You can also use a swimming ring to relax laying on the water just below the huge sctruture of the skeleton. Or you go and explore the underwater world. There’s a sunken submarine and other sunken ships and there’s fun – like the head of a crocodile.

Impressions of “The Leviathan Skeleton” (2)

What else? You can take picture of course and I took a lot of them as The Leviathan Skeleton is a really unique motive. And og course you can sail. Sailing is on of the most popular passions in Second Life. Govenor Linden offers a free sailing boat to rezz at The Leviathan Skeleton. I tried it and enjoyed a short tour with the sailing boat.

Impressions of “The Leviathan Skeleton” (3)

To sum it up, The Leviathan Skeleton is a great place for a short simploring tour and a great place to take pictures.

Tuesday, June 26th, began with a full house. Angelique and gwenney were at home in our house and slave Flo was dusting. When I arrived vero came by as well and had Bobbi (Bobbi Fishnet) with her at her leash and nicely tied up in ropes. She had in mind to give Bobbi to me and us as a present but I refused the offer and proposed to fill up the cages at Sarah’s home, a place we should visit again. It’s just over the bridge! Mistress Jenny joined us soon after. We had a full house.

June 26th – a full house at home: vero, Bobbi Fishnet, slave Flo, Angelique, Mistress Jenny, Diomita, gwenney

After vero had left we decided to go to “The Red Room“. I was there with Mistress Jenny in February (read here) and did not visit it since. But Mistress Jenny met with Kitty there just a few days ago and Kitty told her that she met nice people over there. And it is a nice atmosphere there for sure anyway. The Red Room is owned by Hinnla.

June 26th at The Red Room: Angelique, slave Flo, Diomita, Mistress Jenny, gwenney and a slave encased in rubber

Actually it was not very busy that night but not empty either. There were 3 other guests and one rubber encased slave did catch our attention as her rubber encasement did look quite similiar to the one Anne is looking for in the frame of her “Rubber Project”. What a conincidence! Just that day I got an offline message from Anne, who told me that she’s back from vacation. We should find her, still being at Rubber Rocket Doll, on the porch of our house in her personal cell. We chatted with the rubber slave and inspected her outfit in detail. We will see if the information we could gather is helpful for Anne’s project.

June 26th at The Red Room: Angelique, Diomita and Mistress Jenny cuddling, slave Flo and slave encased in rubber watching, gwenney tied up spread eagled

We spent the night at The Red Room. I fixed gwenney on the table in the center of the room and Mistress Jenny, Angelique and I cuddled on the nearby lounger. slave Flo and helplessly tied-up gwenney watched us. Time flew by way to quickly once again. After we returned home and slave FLo had left, Mistress Jenny and I retreated to our skybox. We decided to get the lounger for us, as it offers animations for three persons. That’s another upside of Second Life compared to RL, even furniture shops are open 24/7 and there’re no delivery periods. Of course Mistress Jenny and I tested the new piece of furniture right away (no pictures *winks*).
