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.

Diary 2018 (128) July 19th/20th poor slave (happy slave?)

Thursday afternoon, July 19th, Jenny and I had only a short time inworld in the afternoon, yet it was filled nonetheless. slave kelly was still at Psi’s realm and in the meanwhile some more people realized her exposed butt and plug pear. Accordingly she attracted some attention and we even got an indirect praise of one visitor about the way slave kelly is exposed. slave Gwen was at home and had cleaned our house and slave Leana was still leashed at Stones ‘N Rubber (sNr).
We picked up slave Gwen and slave Leana and brought both to Psi’s realm where we found slave kelly standing in a puddle of pee. She must have been too excited to hold back, poor slave (happy slave?). We had a short chat with the slaves, then I leashed slave Gwen and slave Leana standing next to slave kelly before Jenny and I had to leave again to tend to our RL.

July 19th: Jenny and Diomita at home with slave Gwen / at Psi’s realm with slave kelly, slave Gwen and slave Leana

Our night was relaxed. When I got inworld, slave Gwen, leashed at Psi’s real, was present and I talked with her in IM. She told me that she couldn’t hold back and peed and that she was standing in her own pee puddle while we were chatting – poor slave (happy slave?). I ordered her to take a selfie and to send it to me … actually she had moved away from the puddle. But of course I won’t disappoint slave Gwen and add the selfie to our blog.

July 19th at Psi’s realm: Jenny and Diomita with slave kelly, slave Gwen and slave Leana / slave Gwen next to her own pee puddle (and to another random tied up visitor)

We met with Angelique and slave Flo at home and I selected a new outfit for our niece. slave Flo updated her RR Vixen cuffs and now they fit with her rubber outfit. After two weeks of getting familiar with the meshbody it is about time that she revels some helplessness again. Angelique had to leave for bed and Jenny, slave Flo and I had a round of skipee together before we went over to club DeLust and enjoyed some eye candy while slave Flo did here job decorating us and making us looking good *winks*.

July 19th: Diomita and Angelique at home / Jenny and Dio with slave Flo at club DeLust

Jenny and I crowned the relaxed night dancing at Club Fem.

Friday, July 20th, I visited slave Gwen at Psi’s realm and I took the opportunity to talk with her while having her leashed and kneeling next to me. slave kelly also came inworld. She finally got a version of her hood that will work properly with her viewer. I think, we’re going to keep her longer in this exposing outfit. I left both slaves at Psi’s realm when I returned to my RL.

July 20th: Diomita with slave Gwen at Psi’s / Having fun at our Friday night party

And at night? Yes, of course our party, our way to start into the weekend. We had fun dancing and chatting. BC (Baroness Capelo) and Claven were attending. Claven had brought Betina with her for decorating her. Later at night, BC brought a recent victim of her to the party, nicely tied up in a hogtie and she and Claven discussed about the potential realease or fate of this victim, while the victim protested and demanded her release desperately.
Why do I bring that up? Well, it clearly reminded me of the title of this diary entry – poor slave (happy slave?). It’s not always that easy to really know whether you should be compassionate.

An inside look at Get the Freight Out in Second Life

It’s really amazing. After more than 10 years being in Second Life I still learn about new corners of this virtual world. The broad variety of communities and possible activities seem to be endless. Just tink of sailing, flying, building fantasy worlds, art, Gor, fashion, music events, relay of life, history ….
And today I read about Get the Freight Out (GTFO), a popular in-world game among many vehicle users, in Inara Pey’s blog. It’s not that I’m going to try it out, I’m way to busy already with my Second Life family within the BDSM communities and with my simploring activities. But I wanted to share this very interesting blog post about GTFO. Thank you Inara for your very detailed post, which is a real teaser.

Inara Pey's avatarInara Pey: Living in a Modemworld

Get the Freight Out (GTFO) is a popular in-world game among many vehicle users. HUD-based, it allows players to “haul” cargo from by land, sea or air, point-to-point across the mainland continents of Second life, and over their connected waterways and seas (e.g. Blake Sea). In doing so, players can earn in-game (and non-redeemable) “Goal dollars” – G$ and game experience points which allow them to “level up” through GTFO.

Since its launch, the game has grown to encompass, at the time of writing, over 280 different land, sea and air vehicles, and has over 300 “hubs”- the points at which players use to collect / deliver their cargoes – scattered around the Mainland continents of the grid, presenting players with multiple opportunities for collecting and delivering cargoes, with more being added all the time.

In fact, such is the popularity of the game that many vehicle creators are offering…

Diary 2018 (127) July 18th – David Gilmour (Pink Floyd) in Pompeii

Again I had a nice and varied day on Wendesday, July 18th. I was inworld quite early in the afternoon and made a short simploring tour (see yesterday’s post here). After my tour I went to see slave Gwen at home. The poor slave had to pee and just because I can I denied visiting the toilet and watched her peeing in front of me.
Then I took her to Lochme where she got a set of RR vixen cuffs. With time she will collect some gear. I helped her setting them up and went away from the keyboard for a bit for writing about my simploring tour.

July 18th: Diomita with slave Gwen at home / Diomita and Angelique storing slave Leana, slave kelly and slave Gwen at Stones ‘N Rubber (sNR)

Upon my return slave kelly and slave Leana had joined slave Gwen at home and also Angelique came by. For some strange reason SL had sent a teleport offer from me to slave kelly, maybe an old one that was delivered upon her return online to Stones ‘N Rubber (sNR), where we had stored slave kelly the day before. We chatted a bit, then Angelique and I took the 3 slaves back to Stones ‘N Rubber (sNr) and leashed them there.

At night I picked slave kelly and slave Gwen up at Stones ‘N Rubber (sNR) and I asked the present crowd if they had behaved. I got some valuable feedback, something to consider *winks*. When I returned home, Jenny just came inworld too and we caught up about SL and RL news. slave Gwen had to leave us again and slave Flo joined us.

July 18th: Mistress Jenny and Diomita with slave kelly and slave Gwen at home / visiting the concert “David Gilmour (Pink Floyd) in Pompeii” in Second Life with slave Flo and slave kelly

I got an invitation for a concert at Diotima from Redi (Red Bikcin): “David Gilmour (Pink Floyd) in Pompeii” and Jenny and I decided to go there with slave Kelly and slave Flo.
It was a great concert and we enjoyed the music while chatting between eachother, very relaxing.
At the end of the concert and after slave Flo had left us, we went over to Psi’s realm and exposed slave kelly there, leashed in the middle of the main room. Psi Merlin, the owner of Psi’s realm was there but absent. She’s often there being away from the keyboard. Kitty often steals her keys and places her in a cage or does something else mischievous to her.

July 18th: Mistress Jenny and Diomita storing slave kelly at Psi’s realm

Jenny said to Psi “by the way, Psi, Kitty told us we own you now“. Being absent Psi didn’t answer and I went over and checked if the keys of her restraints were left out, they weren’t. I replied to Jenny instead of Psi “oh do we, Jenny? Then we own Psi’s realm too and hence slave kelly is at home here ….. Ask Kitty to give some spare keys of our property to us, Jenny“.
Perhaps we seeded some gossip….

And that’s it about a varied and relaxing day in Second Life

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.

Diary 2018 (126) July 17th – A full and varied day in SL

Tuesday, July 17th, turned out to become a full and varied day in SL for me. When I came inworld in the afternoon, slave Gwen was present and cleaning our house. I took her to our dungeon, fixed her on a rack and fitted a nose ring at her nostril. It’s not only a symbol of slavery, it is also a powerful tool. And I explained that to slave Gwen and restricted her to our island and forbid instant messages. She shall feel our control from now on and her fate is in our hands now.
She’s a willing and patient slave so far. She’s not officially ours yet but she will be treated as such from now on. I also included her in our family&friends group with a slave tag.

July 17th: Diomita fitting our nose ring to slave Gwen

slave kelly was shortly inworld and saw slave Gwen leashed by the nose ring and immediately knew what happened. She remembered the day she got her nose ring, a day that ended her freedom once and forever – and she told slave Gwen.

July 17th at home: Diomita, slave Gwen, Jenny, slave Flo and Mii (from left to right) / Jenny and Diomita with slave Flo and Rubber Rocket Doll Anne

When I returned at night, the house was fully cleaned and I first cared about some tech issues. I kept slave Gwen close while I did that. And then it became full.
slave Flo got inworld and she was wearing a hobble dress, that she bought before. We had told her before we wanted to get one for her and she couldn’t wait *winks*
Jenny came inworld and joined us.
Mii visited us and we had a short chat, slave Gwen had to leave.
Angelique came by just to get a hug as she had an early start the next day.
Anne, our last Rubber Rocket Doll, came inworld and spent half an hour with us.
Finally slave kelly came inworld, when Anne was just leaving.

Jenny and Diomita with slave Flo and slave kelly at home and at club DeLust

I caught up with Jenny about RL and SL and slave Flo had some work to do to get not only her hobble dress set up correctly but also to add the Aphrodite hood. At the end of this night slave Flo wore the same outfit as slave kelly, just that she wears it in white.
We took the slaves to club DeLust to expose them and returned home when slave Flo had to leave. Before we left ourselves, we brought slave kelly to Stones ‘N Rubber (sNR) and leashed her there for the night. It was a full and varied night that proved once again, that you can’t predict anything in Second Life.

Diary 2018 (125) July 16th – Piggy backing

Monday, July 16th, Mistress Jenny and I met in the afternoon. slave Flo, slave kelly, slave Gwen and Angelique were inworld too. Mistress and I hadn’t met inworld the last two days due to our RL and we had something to catch up. slave Flo was still busy with her wardrobe. We went to Mesmerize Dungeon with slave kelly, slave Gwen and Angelique and caught up there with our news from SL and RL. This one hour flew really by.

July 16th: Mistress Jenny, Diomita and Angelique with slave kelly and slave Gwen at Mesmerize Dungeon

At night, Mistress and I took the first time for ourselved and stayed at our skybox (no pictures *winks*). before we went seeing the slaves Mistress Jenny fitted my partnering collar around my neck. Thank you, my love!
Our night became varied and was fun. Jenny and I took slave Flo and slave kelly to Stones ‘N Rubber (sNr) and we had a piggy backing race. I choose slave kelly as she’s stronger and taller but she had the disadvantage of the hobble dress and the pear plug. Jenny choose slave Flo. It was fun, and not only because I won on slave kelly’s back.

July 16th: Jenny and Diomita piggy backing with slave Flo and slave kelly at sNR

We decided to stay a bit longer at Stones ‘N Rubber (sNr) and went to the court. There’s always quite a nice crowd, also that night. And there’s often something new to discover. We tried the “hardcore rubber lamp post”, well I made slave kelly trying it. After switching the light on, she made us really look great.

July 16th: Mistress Jenny and Diomita with slave Flo and slave kelly, the human rubber lamp post, at Stones ‘N Rubber (sNr)

Unfortunately, a downside of devices like this is that it takes some time to get the added restrictions and objects off afterwards. But it was worth the fun. And Jenny and I plan to take slave kelly back there for a longer stay. We returned home when it was time for slave Flo to leave and talked a bit with slave kelly. Being in a good mood, we allowed slave kelly to roam not only on our island but also to visit other places. Then we turned in ourselves.

Sunday, July 15th, I had a lazy day in Second Life and more or less in RL too. I met with Angelique in the afternoon and as I expected Mistress Jenny to get inworld we played greedy together first, then we moved on to club DeLust. I had fun with Angelique as I swapped poses and Angelique did enjoy the swapping as well. Mistress ran late and I missed her this afternoon.

July 15th: Angelique and Diomita at club DeLust

Sunday night, Angelique and I discussed with slave Flo about her wardrobe until Angelique had to leave. slave kelly was inworld in the meanwhile and I took her out of the pit. I hope she has learned her lesson again now. And then slut cecy joined us. Due to her RL, she has become a rare visitor. After some chitchat also with Gero, who came by for a visit, I took the slaves to Mesmerize Dungeon. I was very full and she slaves decorated me well.

July 15th: Diomita at home with Angelique and slave Flo / Diomita at Mesmerize Dungeon with slave kelly, slave slut cecy and slave Flo

Again I noticed how much slave Flo misses being restricted. It’s about time that she finishes with her wardrobe *winks*

Diary 2018 (123) July 13th/14th – Aunt and niece

I got inworld Friday, July 13th, late afternoon and met the slaves kelly, Gwen and Leana in front of our house. slave Gwen had cleaned the house. That fits in perfect as slave Flo is taking a time out to set up her clothes and wardrobe for her new meshbody. slave Leana had to leave and I took slave kelly and slave Gwen inside of the house. slave Gwen watched me taking a new latex hood out of the drawer of my office desk and fitting it on slave kelly’s head. I ordered slave Gwen to lick slave kelly’s exposed bum while I made last adjustments so that slave kelly’s dress and the hood look like being one piece.

July 13th: Diomita with slave Gwen at Heavy Bondage Club / slave kelly wearing her new hood

Friday night I was inworld early enough to take slave Gwen to Heavy Bondage Club where I exposed her while we chatted about her emotions, feelings and desires. Then it was time for our regular Friday night party. It was well attended – and we had a lot of fun starting into our weekend. Virgo had set the theme “Beach”.
Claven came by with 2 of her decorations and they teased slave kelly badly about her plug pear by creating words around the word pear a-pear-ently. At one point slave kelly couldn’t hold back and made a remark although she hadn’t asked for permission to speak. Of course she was gagged and when Mistress Jenny and I went to bed, I took slave kelly to the pit where she could think about her mistake. And that’s it about Friday.

July 13th Friday night Party: slave Flo, Diomita, Mistress Jenny, slave kelly, Virgo

Saturday, July 14th, was very different. When I came online at night, it was just me and Angelique being present. We went to Club Fem and danced and talked. It was very enjoyable and after an hour I took Angelique home and we had a bath in the whirlpool together and more …. (no pictures).
slave kelly, being locked down in her pit, might just have noticed that someone is around. I was generous and we took slave kelly with us to DeLust where we spent half an hour enjoying the fetish atmosphere of the club. slave kelly did behave this time, the pit seems to be a good mean to remind her of her position in life. Before Angelique and I went to bed, we brought slave kelly back into the pit. I enjoyed this night a lot.

July 14th – Aunt and niece: Diomita and Angelique dancing at Club Fem / taking slave Flo out of her pit / at club DeLust with slave kelly

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.

Landmark to Adele
