Monday, August 7th, I visited another exhibition during the day. At night I first played 2 rounds of skipee with Flo. When we had finished the 2 games, slave Holly and slave Alessi were present. I took Flo, Holly and Alessi to club Domme a Domme. We stayed almost one hour and it was quite entertaining. We talekd about a new piece of furniture at the club, something evil, but not availabe to the public yet – an “Evilcart”. Examining it, it seems to give out a “mystery pill”, maybe something like the “Evil pill”, that Holly had to take quite a while ago.
At flotime Flo, slave Holly and I went to bed.

Tuesday, August 8th, I was inworld in the morning and went to club Domme a Domme, where I met Zana and Adu (Adumadan Biziou). Zana was having fun with Adu and suspended her in the center of the club above the dance stage. As always Zana entertained the club and it was intriguing watching her.

At night I met with Flo and slave Alessi at home. We played 2 rounds of skipee with three first – I had lucky cards *winks*, then I took the two on a round through the clubs, starting at club Domme a Domme, where I tried to get some main chat initiated but failed. We went to the silent club DeLust and looked at a few outfits and then finally went to Lochme. slave Holly joined us there and we had fun there. A domme/sub approached us and I teased her together with Flo, Holly and Alessi. Hence in the end we finally got the entertainment we were looking for.
Holly made some pictures which she called “Chains” as the August slave outfit had chains and I had leashed all three.

Art in Second Life (44) Summer Vibes by onceagain (Manoji Yachvili)

Onceagain (Manoji Yachvili) sent an invitation for her own exhibition at her place, the ONCEAGAIN art gallery.

The exhibition is not in the gallery building where you land. You have to walk over a bridge to a seperate building nearby. The exhibition building looks like a temporary building, erected just for the Summer.

Onceagain (Manoji Yachvili) provided a notecard with some background information about “Summer Vibes”
“I love summer .. for its colors, so bright, the hours of sunshine that seem to never end the cicadas’s sound by day and that of crickets by night, swimming in the sea among the fishes ..”
Photo Cafe has a special recurring Expo, called “In The Spot” which is a quarterly exhibition of a single seasonal photo so I participate with one of my photos to be exhibited until September for the theme “Summer”.
It was difficult to choose because in the last month I took several photos of the summer. Thinking about what would be right to show I decided to reopen the Onceagain art gallery and I set up this small exhibition made up of diptychs of sl and rl photos.“

Inside the exhibition building is decorated with elements of a Summer vacation like a sandcastle and you might get wet feet stepping into puddles of sea water. The about a dozend pictures are displayed as pairs. One picture is taken in RL, one in SL. Each pair has a common theme. At some pairs you have to look twice to recognize which picture is from RL. For me that proves that we can immerse into other worlds, into other environments that cause emotions – like Summer vibes. I like the comparison between RL and SL.

onceagain (Manoji Yachvili) ist in Second Life since 2007. Manoji is Italian and lives and works in Tuscany, Italy. She “likes photography, art, landscapes, animals, visiting strange places, most of these things she also does in RL“. You find more of her also on her flickr account.
Thank you for this exhibition and the pictures, onceagain, they caused Summer Vibes – even when we had rain for over 4 weeks, where I live.

Art in Second Life 2023 (43) “A Dream of Eating Colors” by Bamboo Barnes @ Artsville

11 Aug 2023 1 Comment

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

Tonight (August 11th, 12 PM SL-time) Bamboo Barnes will open a new exhibition at Artsville: “A Dream of Eating Colors“

“A Dream of Eating Colors” by Bamboo Barnes @ Artsville – exhibition Poster and first impressions

Upon landing your avatar will be submerged in colours – or eaten by the colours. Actually the landing point is inside of an installation consisting of 3 large coloured spheres. The spheres change their colour and the background as well as the floor is permanently changing as well. Just when you move out or zoom out, you can see that you became part of this colourful installation.

Once you stepped out of the installation you can see the whole setup of “A Dream of Eating Colors“. It is built on a large rectangular platform. In the corners Bamboo has installed 3D art objects. In the center is a large area with more 3D art, with red rays reaching out into the sky as well as with hands that reach out to the sky … and white gleaming boxes and spheres.  Make sure that you use Shared Environment, enabled Advanced Lighting Model and select a a raw distance abve 128m. Using shadows is also recommended, but I did not enable it myself.

Around the center and between the above corner installations, Bamboo presents her 2D art – colorful pictures, often you may see female faces or bodies in them, some are just abstract and as they are from Bamboo Barnes all pictures are made up of several layers, so that you can immerse into the pictures and see different objects, faces or impressions.

Impressions of “A Dream of Eating Colors” by Bamboo Barnes @ Artsville (1)

Back to the corner installations – one of them is made up of about 20 billard balls. You can walk between the balls. Once you get closer to a ball you see a picture, a court of a small town, in the ball. When you step away it is gone again. And the same picture appears under your feet when you walk to the center of “A Dream of Eating Colors” (where the hands reach up into the sky). Another art object a bit aside turned out to be a porch swing and I had a short break sitting there.

Bamboo Barnes added a poem in her opening party invitation. The poem might refer to the the red rays and the hands in the center:
“You, want my love for vain
I, want my blood red
Taste colors, still remain
In the woods of bloody red “

Bamboo is in Second Life for over 15 years already, painting software & photoshop are her best friends. Bamboo had many exhibtions and appearances in the Second Life art scene and in 2018 she had her first exhibition in real life: “I create what I see but maybe you won’t, they are about people’s reality and  mind.”
Bamboo’s art is a mixture of abstract forms, of people and photographs. Most pictures are colourful and it is in the eye of the beholder what we see in her pictures.
I myself saw her work the first time at La Maison d’Aneli during the Holiday season 2019/2020 (read here). I also saw her exhibition “Marginal Mannerism” at DixMixGallery in April 2021 (read here), the exhibition “Meant to be” at Itakos Art Gallery last year (read here), I saw “Conjure” at FOCUS Magazine F.A.I.R Gallery in August 2021 (read here), “Mindstorm” at IMAGO Land (read here) and “Drawer” at Hannington Arts Foundation (read here). In December 2021 I saw her exhibition “The path” at Art care gallery (read here) and 2022 i visited “Metaphysics” at the Kondor Art Center, (read here), Colores Primarios (read here), “New Day”  (read here) and  “Personal Aspect” (read here). This year I saw “Unusual” at Kondor Art Center (read here) and “Far From” at Selen’s gallery (read here). One could say, I’m a fan of Bamboo’s art!

The exhibitions “New Day”  (read here) and “Far From” at Selen’s gallery (read here) are still open for a visit.
Look also at Bamboo’s flickr page.

Artsville was created in collaboration the Art Korner blog, owned and founded by Frank Atisso. Artsville itself is group owned, Frank Atisso is one of the co-owners. Bamboo mentioned Jerzzie Reece Redstar (Jerzzie Reece) and Jeanie (jeanienabottle) as a member of the Artsville team. Thank you all for providing the space for the art and for enabling “A Dream of Eating Colors“. Thank you Bamboo Barnes for your art.

I enjoyed visit.

Diary 2023 (82) August 4th-6th Hanky Spanky

Friday, August 4th, I was in-world in the morning. Kitty came online shortly after me and I provided the August slave outfit to her, then I summoned her to me at Carnal, where I met Zana with bunz (Aizur Zessinthal). Zana was busy playing with a ramdon sub and as usual it was quite entertaining.
Kitty and I caught up with our mutual news. Kitty is watching an ongoing drama at Sleepy Hills from the sideline – Laura (avimorph) is involved in this drama and in the ongoing kidnappings. Be careful, Kitty! Enjoy and have fun nonetheless *winks*

August 4th: Diomita at Carnal with Kitty, Zana, bunz and a random sub

In the afternoon I found some time for a gallery visit. I love the contrast between my kinky SL and art in SL.
For the Friday night party, slave Holly made a proposal and I happily accepted her idea for the party theme. It fitted perfectly to the new August outfit:
“It is Friday again and we start into another Summer weekend. We want to have fun of course and we will! Tonight is “Hanky Spanky”, wear something spankable or come as you are (naked is also spankable). DJ Virgo is spinning the tunes for us.“

Of course we had fun and quite some spankable butts. Some brought their crops.

August 4th – Friday night party: Angelique, Flo, Diomita, slave Holly, slave Alessi, Cherry, Tracie (tracie317), Domina Ansar, Adumadan Biziou, Dely (krysbia) (upper row), Della Randt, Starbright Wingtips, Dark Nightmare (nightmare2023), Claven Albatros, Baroness Capelo, Morgie Darstone, Erika (ErikaYoung), Shima (Shimah2000), Rhyn Nootan, Lucy (lucycaspiana), Virgo Babii (lower row)

I was present myself for over an hour, but then I had to tend to my RL and was absent. I went offline close to 1 AM. slave Holly stepped in for me hosting the party and she provided some nice pictures, which I share here

August 4th – Friday night party: Angelique (picture by Diomita) / Impressions of a party night (pictures by Holly)

Saturday, August 5th, I spent some time inworld during the day and visited another gallery. At night I first played two rounds of skipee with Flo, then I took Flo to club Domme a Domme. It was an entertaining night with quite some main chat. Zana joined us there and after Flo had left, Adu (Adumadan Biziou), was at Zana’s leash. I enjoyed the teasing and banter at the club, but that night I went off to bed early myself.

August 5th: Diomita at club Domme a Domme with Flo, Zana and Adu

Sunday, August 6th, I was in-world in the morning and roamed around a bit searching for trouble. Yet I didn’t get into trouble. At night Flo, slave Holly, slave Alessi and I played a round of skipee as teams. That was relaxing and fun. Our game ended after flotime ad Flo went off to bed. I tokk slave Holly and slave Alessi to club Domme a Domme for 15 minutes before we returned home and to bed.

Art in Second Life 2023 (42) “Kisses” and “Broken Mirrors” by Melusina Parkin

08 Aug 2023 Leave a comment

Melu has opened two new exhibitions that – once again – follow seamlessly from her exhibitions “Art Deco Ladies” (read here) and “100 Retro Ladies” (read here) and continue the thread. The two new exhibitions are shown at Melusina Parkin’s Minimum Gallery. 


“Kisses” is the exhibition on the 1st floor, “Broken Mirrors” is shown on the 2nd floor.

I didn’t count the pictures, I estimate that both exhibitions consist of roughly 40 pictures. I started my visit with “Kisses”. As the name implies, the pictures show couples who kiss each other, in this case two females kissing each other. All woman fit into the art deco era. And all pictures of “Kisses” have a calm neutral background, making the spectator focus on the kiss and the faces. Taking a closer look you can see how different the faces are, how different the kisses are, some full of passion, in other pictures the lips don’t even touch each other.
Melusina wrote a text about “Kisses”:
“Kisses don’t need any explanation, or introduction. Just look at these glamourous ladies and at their love. These images celebrate the short era when all did seem possible. Later hte tragedy ome on, and then many years had to pass before freedom and desire would be allowed again. They are a tribute to all those brave woman who had taught us the actual meaing of the word ‘love’.“

All featured pictures can be purchased at the exhibition itself. There’s a vendor at the end of each of the four series.

On the 2nd floor is the exhibition “Broken Mirrors”. Melusina wrote about this exhibition:
“Mirrors are fragile and it’s very easy they get broken. Nonetheless even a broken mirror can be helpful. Try to look at your image on a broken mirror, You could be frightened or intrigued: you can think that the fragmented image you see says that your are overwhelmed, destroyed, cut in pieces by your problems, traumas, issues. Or you can see those fragments at the different part of your self, and seeing them can be helpful for knowing each of them better and trying to make them living together and interacting successfully.
The power of AI images allowed me to show many ways to be reflected in fragments. The retro ladies depicted in these images wear different dresses and different hair, they have different expressions: they represent the many ways you can approach and unusal and maybe unsettingly image of yourself.“

The images of “Broken Mirrors” are quite different from what I saw of Melusina so far. Each of them takes the theme from another view. Some are very serious, make you think of the the thoughts the woman might have looking ito the broken mirror, others are funny – and all are very artful. It’s for sure an unusal theme – and again Melu used AI in a very creative way.

I am a fan of Melusina Parkin’s art and have seen quite some of her exhibitions. Melusina Parkin’s style is minimalistic. She usually takes her pictures in Second Life. The minimalism forces the spectator to focus on details, that might stay unseen when too much distracts the view. Lately she tried out different things, in particular she explored the possibilites of creating art based on AI generated pictures.

Melusina Parkin 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 a few. 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 also under this post).
There’s also an online book with her Second Life exhibits 2011-2019 here.
Melusina Parkin has an own gallery at Time Portal, “Melu’s Photo Gallery” and an own store for Art Deco furniture called “Melu Deco“. Melusina also owns a second place (Melu Space) with another gallery (Minimum Gallery), a bookstore and another “Melu Deco” inworld store.

Thank you for these exhibitions, Melusina. I enjoyed both, “Kisses” and “Broken Mirrors”

Art in Second Life 2023 (41) “A Crickets View” by Lotus Li @ Maison de la Chauette

06 Aug 2023 1 Comment

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

I am a quite regular visitor of the NovaOwl Community Center and Gallery and the NovaOwl Sky Gallery Both are owned by Uli Jansma, Owl (Owl Dragonash) is the general manager. NovaOwl is an international community on the mainland continent of Corsica. NovaOwl is located on Novatron. It is a meeting place where events take place regularly.

Owl Dragonash invited me to another exhibition at a new place, the Maison de la Chauette. Owl made it easy for me and provided a notecard of this new place:
“Nestled in the NovaOwl area, Maison de la Chouette stands as the newest gem in Corsica South Coasters. Our commitment to quality starts with using only the finest local grapes, which are lovingly and traditionally smashed by foot to create our exceptional wines. Yes, you are invited to roll up your sleeves and partake in this unique experience of grape squishing too!
Stepping into our tasting rooms, you’ll find yourself immersed in the artistic spirit of Corsica South Coasters. Every two months, we proudly host a resident local artist, showcasing their incredible talent and adding an enriching cultural dimension to your visit. Be sure to check our website for updates on the latest events and featured artists. The winery’s strategic location offers breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape, creating a tranquil ambiance that’s perfect for unwinding. Accessible by both road and boat, thanks to our friendly neighbor Corsica South Coasters, getting here is a breeze.
So, take some time off, leave your worries behind, and join us for a leisurely experience filled with relaxation, art, and of course, our exceptional wines.”

The first featured artist at Maison de la Chauette is Lotus Li with her series of pictures named “A Crickets View”.

The landmark that Owl provided to me leads directly to the Maison de la Chauette

Actually from the  Maison de la Chauette you can look at the NovaOwl Community Center and Gallery
The location is like Owl described it, just a lovely place to be. And the Maison de la Chauette is really decorated with love and style. I enjoyed my stay there a lot.

Maison de la Chauette in the NovaOwl area

Lotus Li’s art is presented at the walls of the winery and on the 2nd floor, which you reach walking up the stairs on the left side. Again, I don’t have to speculate about Lotus Li’s intention with her pictures as she provided a notecard with the essential information:
“The exhibition “A crickets view” is a discovery of the world and adventures of the cricket and how they seem to rock up in the most unusual places and an exploration of what their view of the world could be. World Globe trotters, inquisitive travelers who’s energy and lack of fear open a world of possibilities and views to leap towards.
I often wonder where they have been and what they have done in their lifetime.
What adventures are to be had?
where will they turn up next?
what Dangers will confront them?
I have found Crickets in some very odd places, in my home of course but once, I had one hitch a ride across from Adelaide to Victoria Australia during a particularity hot summer and mid drought. I’m not sure what was more memorable, my truckers sunburn or the fright I got when I reached into my bag and a cricket jumped out at my face!
What is the most unusual place you have found one? What adventure do you think it was up to?“

Impressions of “A Crickets View” by Lotus Li @ Maison de la Chauette (1)

The pictures provided unusal views from the ground up into the landsacpe, at objects, often restricted by leaves of plants or by blades of grass. Lotus Li’s pictures have the depth that allows you to focus on the main object that is placed into an often nice environment. The pictures are artful and I think they are all processed to provide this impressions.  Well done!

Lotus Li is in Second Life since 2006. She’s from Australia and “loves to play and explore all things that spark my interest and feed her soul. In the last few years she has begun to to discover the arty world in Secod Life. Lotus plays with the photography possibilities within Second Life and it has been a blast for her. The possiblitiy to get the unusual angles, or scenes that you can’t see in real life has opened her mind and to try out the endless opportunities to create and to share with others.”
You can see more of Lotus Li’s art at her own gallery  at CK’s Corner.

Thank you Uli and Owl for providing the space for the art and for enabling the exhibition “A Crickets View” by Lotus Li. I enjoyed my visit to the exhibition as well as the
Maison de la Chauette itself. A really lovely, cosy place to be.

Monday, July 31st, I met Zana in the morning. She was at club DeLust. Rare enough, none of her family was with her.We just chatted and caught up with mutual news. Then I had to tend to my RL and to start my day.

At night I visited Zana at home. She was with maid Monique and maid lola (swittepet), still trying to teach and educate the new maid lola. Maid Lola brushed my hair and then tried to polosih my finger nails, but she was too clumpsy and I asked Maid Monique to show her how to do it, Maid Monique made it way better.
Ramana joined us and we went admiring Zana’s new pink lawn mower. Finally we went to club Domme a Domme for the rest of the night. I had to leave early that night.

July 31st: Diomita and Zana at club DeLust / at Zana’s home with Maid Lola, Maid Monique, Ramana / at club Domme a Domme

Tuesday, August 1st, I went in-world in the later morning. I met Zana with bunz (Aizur Zessinthal) and maid lola at club Domme a Domme. And slave Alessi joined us. I provided the August outfit to Alessi and ordered her to change into it later that day. Then I had to return to my RL.

At night I met maid Monique and later Zana at club Domme a Domme again. Doll Ramana Karu joined us as well. We had some entertaining main chat.

August 1st: Diomita at club Domme a Domme with Zana, maid lola, bunz, slaveAlessi, maid Monique and doll Ramana

slave Flo had come online and was certainly playing cards at home. I left club Domme a Domme after a while and returned home. I chatted a bit with Flo, then we began a skipee. Just when we had started, slave Alessi joined us. She was wearing the new August outfit and I was very pleased about it. Flo and I cancelled the game and we started a new game with three. slave Holly came online towards the end of the game. I handed her the August outfit and she changed while we finished our game.

I returned to club Domme a Domme with Flo, slave Holly and slave Alessi. We had a chatty time! Zana was still there, doll Ramana as well, Baroness Capelo was at the bar (like always), Dely (Krysbia) was present as well as some other people we knew. And just at flotime also Argi showed up.

Diary 2023 (80) July 29th/30th Kitty’s back

Saturday, July 29th, I was in-world in the morning. Kitty meassaged me. She was not anymore restricted. Actually she had escaped from Sleepy Hills and left Laura (avimorph) in her misery. As for now, it seems that all attempts of making a well-manered good girl of my Kitty had failed. I can’t say, that I am surprised, nor that I don’t enjoy having her back.
I went to club Domme a Domme where Zana was with her bunz (Aizur Zessinthal) and with the maid-to-be Lola (swittepet). I summoned Kitty to me and together we could watch how Zana – nicely restrained in a hood and in an armbider – put the new maid into her new life. Zana can be quite dommish even when restrained. We share this ability. Anway, after maid Lola had changed into a proper maid dress, Zana had to introduce her into her new role and assignments. We went to Zana’s home and watched Zana, who led the maid to all spots, which have to be cleaned regularly and to a wheel, where the maid is supposed to run in to produce enough electricity for the house and the sim. It was fun. A great start into my day.

July 29th: Diomita and Zana at club Domme a Domme and at Zana’s home with bunz, Kitty and the maid Lola

I was not online the rest of the day – and hance there’s nothing to report *winks*.

Sunday, July 30th, I was online in the moring and went to club Domme a Domme. Zana was there together with bunz. Zana asked me to rezz a doll case for Ramana, who was also at the club. As Zana couldn’t convince Ramana to step into the box (maybe because Zana was restrained herself) I had to order Ramane to step in. Ramana look soo cute in the box!
Adu (Adumadan Biziou) and Dely (krysbia) were also present and watching. I had a nice and entertaining start into my day.

July 30th: Diomita at club Domme a Domme with Zana, bunz, Adu and Dely

I returned online in the later afternoon and had a nice chat with Angelique. And I visited a gallery, which I hadn’t done for more that a week at least. When I returned I met Maid Monique (MoniqueDefoe) at home. She still had off and looking quite dommish. She teased me and we both had fun until I had to leave to tend to my RL again.

At night I went to club Domme a Domme again as none of the family was presnt when I cam online. Zana was there together with Erin (lilerin2020). I chatted with Zana a bit and went back home when Flo came online. Flo and I were just about to start a game, when slave Alessi came home as well. We started a skipee with three and had played about 5 minutes, then slave Holly came in-world as well. We stopped playing and started a game with four. Flo and slave Holly against slave Alessi and myself. It was a quite one sided game until slave Holly started painting jokers *laughs*. But that was too late and slave Alessi and I won it. To took Flo, slave Holly and slave Alessi to club Domme a Domme for ahlf an hour, then we all went off to bed at “flotime”.

Art in Second Life 2023 (40) Totems by Lalie Sorbet @ Third Eye Gallery

Jaz (jessamine2108) invited me to the opening of “Totems”, an exhibition by Lalie Sorbet at the Third Eye Gallery. I couldn’t attend the opening itself, but visited the exhibition one day later.

Impressions of Totems by Lalie Sorbet @ Third Eye Gallery (left side exhibition poster) (1)

The exhibition consists of about 15 high and small boxes, wich are semi-transparent. A texture is displayed and moves along horizontally. The viewer sees the back through the semi-transparent front. The constant slow movement creates a complex picture that seems to be moving. The texture itself consists of leaves, blossoms, branches .. at least something related to nature.

Impressions of Totems by Lalie Sorbet @ Third Eye Gallery (2)

Lalie Sorbet wrote about “Totems”:
“Here is the creation of an artistic / photographic work, carried out thanks to an Artificial Intelligence called, MidJourney. Its specificity: giving the AI ​​words, sentences, poems or photos, and artificial intelligence thanks to its database (this one being more oriented towards art) will create images. It remains to choose the images and rework them. These plant totems speak to us of nature, its diversity, its beauty, the imagination and the inspiration it provides but above all that it protects us and that therefore we must protect it in return.”

I zoomed in into the boxes and took pictures of the details. What I saw is amazing – each snaphot taken like this is also a piece of art. The snapshots also provide an impression of the complexity which you might not see when looking at the large boxes from farer away.

I came across Lalie Sorbet just once far. Lalie participated in an exhibition at La Maison d’Aneli back in 2020 (read here) She is in Second Life since 2008. She’s a French artist and photographer, who lives and works between South India, on the Coromandel coast and the south of France. She has this passion for creating images. She likes to explore all possibilities of expression: video, 3D, collage, painting, drawing, photography, AI, reports. (taken from the accompanying notecard).
Lalie has an own website, which provides a deeper insight into her art in RL, a flickr page for RL photographs and another flickr page for SL pictures and art.

I noticed that you can buy the boxes. I don’t know if it is a by accident or intended. Each box was just 1 L$. I “bought” some and left a tip at the donation box at the exhibition. Two boxes are now part of my growing art park at my place in Second Life. Thank you, Lalie!

Two Totems by Lalie Sorbet at my homeplace in Second Life

Third Eye is Jaz (jessamine2108)’s home and gallery – a place that is designed to showcase art, particles, inspire stories, and offer a quiet place to relax and rejuvenate. Jaz says: “It is the culmination of my many dreams – to create a place that nurtures and helps the growth of all types of creative endeavors – be it words, pictures, or particles.“

Thank you Jaz (jessamine2108) for providing the space for the arts. Thank you Lalie Sorbet for your intriguing art. I really like your work and the creative use of AI and how you made these “living” boxes.

Backflash July 2023 “Enjoying Bondage June 2022 – Mistress Jenny” (June 27th, 2022)

by diomitamaurer in Backflash of the month, Enjoying bondage series Tags: , , ,

In the “Backflash” series I select an old entry once a month and present it here. This way I force myself to browse in the archive and to fresh up a few of the many memories. For our readers the series shall provide an insight into my and our Second Life without reading back the many posts and it might also give reason to browse through the archives.
For July 2023 I selected a post from June 2022, just a bit more than a year ago. I picked that post as a tribute to Mistress Jenny, who passed away over a year ago. I miss her badly. In addition I didn’t find the time to create an “Enjoying Bondage picture” for this month, hence this Backflash of the month post shall also be the Enjoying Bondage picture of this month.
Enjoy reading and in particular seeing Mistress Jenny enjoying bondage. I know she was a big bondage fan…

Enjoying Bondage June 2022 – Mistress Jenny (June 27th, 2022)

On the occasion of Jenny’s 14th collaring anniversary I got a green light and was in control for a couple of days. I made the most of it – and addressed Mistress’ kink for tight and restrictive bondage. There’s no need for a collage, the two pictures I picked for this month’s Enjoying Bondage series are not processed at all. If Mistress enjoyed her predicament just half as much as I did, then she had a great time letting control go ….
