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)

Killer Heels

Surfing the internet I came across an exhibition that I would definitively visit if I were living closer to New York City. The Brooklyn Museum presents “Killer Heels: The Art of the High-Heeled Shoe”. Just google it and you will find a lot of pictures of the exhibition along with lots of descriptions (start at http://www.brooklynmuseum.org/exhibitions/heels/).
In the meanwhile there’s a picture of every single exhibited shoe online. Nonetheless, I’d love to see the exhibition myself.

Some of the heels look like being taken from Second Life – incredible shoes! And you should need a licence to wear them. I love to look at them and how I can walk with them in SL, yet I am very aware that I would most likely not manage to walk more then a few meters, if I manage to walk at all in shoes like these.

Surfing I found some really weired shoes shown at the exhibition but also some that could be in my closet like these …..

I know this post is not what you usually expect to read in this blog, but I couldn’t refrain to share the information about the exhibition. So if you live close to NYC, don’t miss the exhibition and enjoy the weired heels in SL even a bit more as we can even run wearing them!

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.

Rona Potter Fall Exhibit

Following this blog you know that Rona is a passionate artist. She takes pictures in SL and processes them adding RL pictures or objects or using other effects to turn them into art. She also made some pieces for Jenny and me and you can find already some of her art in this blog, as well as on my deviantArt account and of course in her deviantArt account (url’s in the links section). Of course we also talk about the pictures quite often.
I discovered art in SL quite a while ago and wrote some posts about it. And Rona was a friend, then my “art connection” and is our collared brat nowadays. I also visited galleries in SL, some of them in the catagory erotic art but also some of them dealing with landscapes or with virtual temporary art or with surreal themes. Hence it is no surprise that I talked with Rona about galleries and the possibility to present her art to the broader public not only on deviantArt but also inworld. We both were excited about the idea and began immediately making plans. And now it is time for the first exhibit of Rona’s art in “Maurer Gallery”. We do hope for many visitors, good conversations and exchange about the picture, and that you enjoy your visit. There will be a teleport pad leading directly to Maurer Gallery at the landing point of our homesim during the exhibit (http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Mount%20Everest/106/87/31).
You’re very welcome!

Enjoying bondage: The event September 21st, 2014

20140921 Enjoying Bondage September 2014 Board

This time we planned doing something different for our bondage night. We put out some bondage frames and racks in front of our house and planned to get a row filled with our subs and random victims for this night. It began quite busy. I had caught Ashe (ashelia.difference), an old friend of ours who i didn’t see for years, in the morning – thus the first victim. Jenny caught another slave a few days before who we expected for the night (but she didn’t appear). At lunch time the set up was done, the court in front of the main house was filled with the frames and racks. When I got online at night Mii showed up and of course she was the first to get locked up. Then Ashe came, then rona, then slave flo – I was busy working to get all tied up nice and securely. Sarah was also around and she took the position of supervising.

Quite no surprise, when they all were tied up and when I was ready to enjoy the work I did, Ashe was the first who left for RL, then Mii followed soon after. In the meanwhile Jenny came online and she asked in a group of bondage loving women (The Bondagettes – also a group on deviantArt, look it up there) for models to join in the fun – and she was successful: Amykins Aristocrat and BrittanyAnne Writer joined and were tied up quickly. You could sense their eagerness, they brought enough rope with them and helped themselfs to get tied (good girls!). Thank you BittanyAnne and Amykins. We took some (a lot!) pictures and to complete it Jenny and I joined ourselfs. I will add most of the pictures that I took to this post as some of them became really good.

Enjoying bondage: The event September 21st, 2014

This was the first but most probably not the last event of this kind. We will need a bit more time for planning and preparation for the next one. And usually the bondage nights are a spontaneous event. But to sum it up: It was great fun!
Enjoy all the pictures!

Angel Falls

It’s been well over three years that we moved to our own homesim “Mount Everest”. And the islands that we share with Sarah and with Tyra&Virgo changed during these years. We’re changing and improving slowly but steadily. The latest main changes were adding trees and flowers and our new main house. Last weekend we added something else: a waterfall close to the Shangri-La. The waterfall includes some very nice poses for a single avatar taking a shower or a bath and some poses for cuddling or taking a bath together. We added some grass, rocks and plants around it and connected the falls with the sea. Fae added a huge mushroom to sit on, which adds a tiny bit of the land of fairies to our islands. Now we needed a name for it. Of course that’s the title of this post. You should have seen Angelique directing Jenny when she placed the new falls. She stomped with her feet here and there to indicate where she wanted it moved. That was funny. Angelique truely seems to love the new addition to our home. Thus Jenny proposed “Angel Falls” and she also looked it up in Wikipedia:
“Angel Falls (Spanish: Salto Ángel; Pemon language: Kerepakupai Vená, meaning “waterfall of the deepest place”, or Parakupá Vená, meaning “the fall from the highest point”) is a waterfall in Venezuela. It is the world’s highest uninterrupted waterfall, with a height of 979 m (3,212 ft) and a plunge of 807 m (2,648 ft). The waterfall drops over the edge of the Auyantepui mountain in the Canaima National Park (Spanish: Parque Nacional Canaima), a UNESCO World Heritage site in the Gran Sabana region of Bolívar State.”

So our island is not only named after the highest mountain on earth but also has the highest waterfall. That fits! Oh, there’s already someone taking a shower. Who might it be? Let’s take a closer look!

Last weekend the home and garden expo in Second Life opened it’s doors and Jenny and I had a quick walk around at a small part of the fair. We were attracted by some mesh stairs, low prim and looking quite real. So we went to the store of the maker to get them and got not only the stairs but also some paths textures. And back home we began improving the paths through our island. They look a lot better than those before, at least in our opinion. With the paths and stairs and Angel Falls it was about time to revise the map of Mount Everst. Here it is:

Now we’re ready for the upcoming weekend. Let’s start it with a nice party Friday night at 9 PM (GMT).

We hope to see you there inworld!
Love from Diomita and Jenny

Our Friday night parties and other stuff

Our Friday night parties are a fixed date in our weekly calendar. We had them since 2009 when Sam (samatha.congrejo), who left SL long ago, provided a sim for Yasmin and the brat pack – Rivers Rock. There she erected a store and a club – the BRATZ club. And Virgo played the tunes every Friday night. Suddently Rivers Rock was gone when Sam left SL but we kept the Friday night parties and always found a place for it. The party is a real tradition that we don’t want to miss. Sometimes Tyra sets up a theme, sometimes Virgo just picks what comes to her mind. And Virgo is for sure the best dj in whole SL (I’m biased but i can be biased). The party is always nice and the music is great but it is even better when we have many guests. Then we have some nice banters and chat while dancing and not just everyone being in IM. So this blog entry is also sort of an advertisement for the party. Last night we had quite a crowd and that was pure fun until early morning.
So come and join the fun. The party is every Friday at 9 PM (GMT) / 1 PM (SL time).

Today my niece Angelique and I had a short conversation and she really said “I’m the most innocent family member”. For me that is the joke of the day that I wanted to share here. Ok, I admit in the picture below she really looks quite innocent, just her skirt is a bit short for her innocence.

One last thing: Jenny and I were looking for some trouble and fun outside of our family. We do that rarely and it is not that easy to find a someone for it. I don’t know yet how it will develop. But as the blog is still also our diary, it should be mentioned here. I won’t reveal any details but this picture is of last Thursday and i cut out our kidnapper. We’re still having fun inworld.

The first week of September was comparably quiet, no bondage night at least. But we had fun and were busy nonetheless. We prepared a particular event but haven’t fixed a date yet nor will I reveal anything here right now, but there will be an entry announcing it here soon. Slave flo was on vacation and rona cared about the dusting during her absence.

Apropos slave – we host another slave. Her name is W-190 formerly known as joselyn Lavender. She came wandering around  and exploring to us the week before. It turns out that she was recently enslaved as “woman voluntarily serving (wvs)” by MzTania. I know Tania’s sim and her wvs as Dana is a parttime wvs (or at least she was) and thus i got contact to Tania. Sometimes I use “The Retreat” at Tania’s sim to …. retreat (surprise, surprise). I contacted Tania and we agreed that slave jo, as we call her, will serve us now until further notice. Slave jo is a patient, submissive being. We will guide and accompany her path slowly and see where it leads to. The slaves flo and jo began to know eachother already as documented in the picture below.

Did anything else happen? Oh yes, I updated the “Family overview” on the Family&Friends page of this blog. And Jenny and I had some relaxing and recovering moments – but not everything needs to be documented here in detail *grins

Enjoying bondage series – August 2014: Hoods

Missed the monthly “enjoying bondage” post? Here it is:

I hinted before on our blog that we have found a new bondage toy: The RF Hood (Restrained Freedom). Actually what you saw in slave flo’s chapter 13 (the previous post), is a RF Hood. It can be adjusted in a wide range of colours and materials, it can be worn full covering the face or leaving the face itself free. It can have a hair tail or kitten ears and it offers a wide range of restrictions from mumbling to tight gagging to total silence including no emoting. There are earmuffs to restrict hearing and a blindfold to restrict seeing up to total silence. This is a great toy for bondage loving dommes as well as for subs and slaves who enjoy tight bondage.

Not did our slave get it, we also bought one for rona, and we will get more for sure!
On August, 4th we had a real family gathering up at home.  And while all talked at the same time, I took a quiet moment and took a picture…

What do you go in for with such a varied crowd? Yes of course, you start a spontaneous bondage night! And so we did. Mii joined the already hooded and tied slave and rona and then we went to Tormenting Heights. Tormenting Heights is the homesim of my former sister Jill Ormstein and I admit that we visit there way to rarely. I remembered that there’s a nice patio to sit and enjoy. So, we went there to take a few pictures of our hooded Girls.
