Umbral

20141214 Umbral_007

Sunday mornings seem to be a good time for me exploring Second Life. I read in Inara’s blog about Umbral and of course I had to see it. Please read here for a more detailled description of this sim (http://modemworld.wordpress.com/2014/12/14/a-visit-to-hydra-isles/).
Umbral is a devided sim, one half is just for photographers who enjoy a lovely background and the beauty and creativity of Second Life. The other half contains an adult D/s play area but isn’t less breathtaking beautiful. Umbral is worth a visit for both sides.

Of course I also had a throroughly look at the adult area. What impresses me most is the love for detail also there. Not a dark dungeon, but a warm, enviting and spacious living area with enough room to sit and cuddle, a fireplace and decorations according to the season. That is is an adult play space only reveals on the second view. A cage here and a suspension hook there, plus furniture with the “right” set of animations. Overall, a place you like to play and to be in for fun. Thank you Inara, for your blog post about Umbral – and thank you vlady Veeper and Coqueta Veeper for creating this sim and allowing us to enjoy it.

Simploring The Bay

Today I found the time to do some simploring and visited The Bay (http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Cats/97/210/22).
You can read more about the sim in the Living-in-the Modemworld blog at http://modemworld.wordpress.com/2014/12/04/the-bay-tropical-retreat-with-an-adult-twist/
I explored the public areas and there are some really nice and cosy spots and places to enjoy the landscape and the natures. Just the right place to relax, to listen to music or to dive into SL’s beautiful sides. In the center of the sim is a dungeon, fitting to the pirate theme of the island, which I just explored with my cam. To get inside you’ll meed to become a group member which might provide some privcacy as it is not for free. And I made a couple of selfies which I share with you.

The Haunted Halloween Tour

As Halloween is getting closer we treid out some temporary installations. The Halloween tour is really good, very well made and lots of fun. As it will be gone soon, don’t miss the tour. It is worth your time!!
Thank you Inara for sharing!

Launched alongside the October 2014 Premium Membership offer, but available to all SL users, is the Haunted Halloween Tour, he latest offering from the Lab to feature Experience Keys, and one that appears to be specifically geared towards the Oculus Rift.

The tour can be accessed via the Lab’s Portal Park – simply go through the gate marked “Halloween” following your arrival. The path will lead yo to the access point, with gateways available for those with and those without an Oculus headset (the latter obviously requiring the Oculus Rift project viewer).

Whichever one you take (the actual tours are more-or-less the same), the first time you do so, you’ll be required to grant the experience the right to carry out certain actions on your avatar (perhaps most noticeably in this case…

Exploring sims and places

Not that this blog is going to change but I have been visiting two other places that were described in Inara’s blog and are really worth a visit.

Darkwood boat tour

Darkwood boat tour

Last weekend I visited Darkwood (http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Breakfree/248/242/23), first alone and then together with Jenny. The full description can be found here: http://modemworld.wordpress.com/2014/10/02/along-the-paths-of-the-darkwood-where-the-nightshade-lay/. It is an Halloween design, so I assume that it is temporary only. I recommend doing the boat tour. You have nothing to do but enjoying the ride along the coast first and then the boat lifts into the skies. It’s fantasy, dark fantasy.

20141013 Snassouci Park_003Today I visited Sanssouci (http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Rajika/130/33/2008). The Sanssouci Palace is the former summer palace of Frederick the Great, King of Prussia, in Potsdam, near Berlin. And I visited it 3 years ago in RL. Here in SL there Sanssouci looks just like it is in RL with one difference: there are not as many visitors and there’s no admission fee. Thus you can get a feeling of having been there without any effort. And maybe you dress according to its time. Or you might want to arrange an event there like a wedding. Anway, have a look!

Beautiful autumn colours in SL

Inspired by the “Living in a modemworld”-blog Jenny and I visited France Portnawak. For a full and very detailled description please read https://modemworld.wordpress.com/2014/10/09/wandering-as-colours-turn-to-autumn/. The colours of autumn there are simply breathtaking. I couldn’t stop taking pictures. Jenny and I found nice and cosy corners to cuddle. You should have a look yourself at this sim and enjoy the beauty of second life (http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Dreamworld%20Volcano/182/186/23)

Secretly British

Inspired once again by the “Living in a Modemworld” blog I visited “The Citadel”. Please read more here: http://modemworld.wordpress.com/2014/10/04/when-you-enter-the-citadel-who-might-you-find/
The sim is certainly obligatory for Dr.Who followers. For me it was more a place to take some nice and artful pictures and i felt very British in this environment.

Weekend Spontaneity

A weekend in Second life can never be planned in advance. You might have some alternatives in mind what to do, but you never really know, who will be online, who will join you, or how long someone can stay. In addition we have our real lifes and even if you’ve planned to spend some quiet and recovering hours online, real life can always cause unplanned interruptions and if you’re in a larger group, these interruptions pile up until there’s always somone shortly absent. All well known issues for those spending a lot of their free time online like myself. Therefor it is very important to be spontaneous, to have a plan B or C or D. My plan B for the rare moments where I find myself more or less alone in SL is exploring sims, mostly sims I read about and which promise to provide great nature or particular creativity or are about art. There’re so many beautiful places to visit in SL and I can never get enough of seeing how creative people are. That is one reason why SL continues to facinate me. In such a rare moment  I visited Innsmouth, a dark New England coastal town in the 1930’s. I was all alone there and the atmosphere was somehow scary. It’s worth a visit. Some of the buildings and parts used there are being sold and I saw them already in other sims, like old cars of that time placed on the roads for decoration. With their lights turned on, the loneliness of the town and the fog they look as if their owners just left them and ran away. And of course I took some pictures.

Coming back to spontaneity – even rarer are the moments I get to go exploring sims with Jenny, but they occur. In early August I took Jenny to Dawn of Radiance, a sim that I had began exporing already. This time we explored together and found really nice place to enjoy togetherness as documented in the following two pictures (in fact this visit was on a Thursday night before the weekend but I put it here as it fits).

Ok, back to kinky stuff again and what to do spontaneously. A good plan C is always to chill at one of our favourite clubs. The picture below was taken Saturday night after Jenny and I had taken advantage of our newest brat rona. She really had to cool down after that. So we took her to Domme a Domme (DaD) and shared her naked beauty with the other guests while she could cool off.

When I get the time to get online in the morning, usually only at weekends, the probability to see Kitty or Dana are way higher than at European prime time at night. On Sunday, August, 10th, I went online shortly and I could meet Kitty. She brought herself into some trouble again by teasing Dana, who is at Stones and Rubber right now as a class III Pony. Dana teased back sucessfully and now Kitty is joining her for some weeks (or months?). Who could have predict that we have 2 ponies at sNr, particularly as pony play isn’t my main kink, but I admit it can be fun to tease the ponies as well as to swing the whip or simply to see the passion our ponies develop for it.

And at what to do on a Sunday afternoon? On the very same Sunday I had a nice chat with our niece Angelique who told me that she’s cleaning up her inventory. As we talked about it, I realized that Angelique might be the only brat who doesn’t have the vixen cuff set from Real Restraints. Of course this needed to be corrected – unplanned and spontanoeusly I took some really nice snapshots of our niece, who really doesn’t seem as excited about the new gear as I was.

Sunday nights tend to be just chatting as many of us appear online at the end of a weekend. Sometimes we just sit and talk, or we stand around. Plan C is to have at least some eye candy and excitement and to take spontaneous pictures. That’s what I did on this very Sunday in August while chatting.

I can tell, I enjoyed the time I spent in SL this weekend in August.

Dear diary

It’s about time for another diary entry. So what as been going on? I went exploring to lovely sims inspired by reading the “living in a modemworld” blog. My first visit was together with Jenny to “Le Botanique”
(http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Miriam%20Brown/42/178/609), which is a beautiful creation of a sim dealing with materials and the advanced lighting settings. There’s not that much to explore but you get to see what is possible even on a small piece of land. And you can relax and watch the raindrops falling and inhale the atmosphere which I tried to capture in some pictures. And yes, I know we weren’t dressed according to the weather nor for that type of a sim.

I went to another lovely sim Sunday morning, August 3rd, also described in the same blog. That one is called “Dawn of Radiance”
(http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Lost%20Forest/42/19/21)
It will provide more occasions for exploring as I just saw the area around the landing point and a plateau above it. The beach invited me to sit down and enjoy. Kitty was online and we chatted while I took some pictures.

On the plateau above the beach there are meadows and some sheep and a nice place to sit and eat. Well, I had had breakfast already, so I didn’t eat and continued chatting with Kitty. We both enjoyed the environment while talking.

What else is going on? Dana is a class III pony at Stones and Rubber (sNr) again. She somehow comes back to be a pony again and again. So it is for sure one of her main kinks. As she can’t IM due to her restrictions, I don’t know much about how much she enjoys it there, but she seemed to be rather happy sending me some pictures about her activities. On August 1st, I managed to visit her in her stall.
Angelique is starting a new adventure very soon. It will be a longer and intense roleplay and we agreed on conditions. I won’t tell much here and right now but we are excited for her and very curious what news she will have to report. In preparation for this roleplay we also bought a new toy. Well it is not a toy, it is more a script to make play a bit more realistic. I will keep that for another blog entry coming up soon.

Anything else? Yes, qt returned from her every year summer trip and we took her to The Secret House twice where she could get some eye candy peeking through the large head cage we put on her. Well in the picture below qt didn’t watch the eye candy but was scared to be shown in a picture. And slave and rona? In the picture below they are not that much restricted. But that has changed and will be subject of another blog entry, maybe part of the enjoying bondage series for August.

Visting H.M.S. Titanic

I went exploring Second Life again lately and discovered H.M.S. Titanic (http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Titanic/140/206/34).
Once again I was impressed by the creativity and beauty of SL. Today I took Jenny to the ship and I made a series of pictures there. Here’s a selection of the best pictures.

We had the night just for us and later Jenny took advantage of me (of course and like always it was my fault: this time because I looked too tempting)… and this picture documentates how the tour ended.

At DaD – quote of today

We still visit Domme a Domme (DaD) every once in a while. It’s quite full there and quite quiet. So you can IM and read profiles or you could entertain yourself and others by some play. Jenny and I did that tonight calling for subs to kneel for us. The result was 5 subs kneeling next to us. Just while we were collecting I got an IM that is worth to be put into our diary: “If you have any more slaves there won’t be any left for the rest of us *giggles”.
Well those who know DaD know that there were still a lot subs left over :-). Anyway Jenny and I had fun. Perhaps we should start a regular competition at DaD like this one (Who collects most?) at or something comparable to shake the club up a bit sometimes.

At DaD: rille, Jenny, LR, Annie, Dio, D, Fae
