Art in Second Life 2021 (94) Narcotic Concept

I got an invitation from Sophie de Saint Phalle (perpetua1010) to see her newest exhibition. She gave me a poster of Narcotic Concept (or NarcotiConcept), an invitation to an opening event on September 12th featuring the art of Akim Alonzo, Luca Pierro, Maciek Jasik, Omar Galliani, Paolo Roversi, Sarah Moon, Sina Souza and Sophie de Saint Phalle.

I had never heard of Narcotic Concept before. The place is group owned, founder is Lunhea. I don’t know how many people are involved, the group compromises 23 people.
The landmark description consists of tags: “Art, Photo, Exhibition, Gallery, Music, Lounge, Club, Media, Minimal, Architecture, Dark“.

The landmark led me to a skybox with the art of Luca Pierro. It is a dark room, the walls display portraits, colourful portraits of males, some of the heads are covered, or express fear and danger. At this room I found a notecard giver with some information about Luca Pierro.

Luca Pierro’s portraits are striking. He is the model and the photographer. The portraits are not photoshopped but real life pictures. For the effects Luca tries to achieve effects, textures and lighting with as little manipulation as possible, so he uses a lot of materials like flour, milk, water and more. Many of his images are very dark and the intention is to express a micro and macro cosmos where the figure of the artist can forcefully enter the scene. The figure represents a man, “the man”, involved with the materials. All the elements that can lead back to “Mother Earth”. In this way, the body becomes the vehicle of expression.
You can find more information about Luca Pierro on his website.

Walking up the stairs in the skybox I could enter a labyrinth of stairs, hallways and other skyboxes, that are used to exhibit the work of the other artists listed on the Narcotic Concept poster. For each artist there is a notecard giver with more information.

The next artist was Sina Souza (sinalein). I had seen Sina’s art just a few months ago at Nitroglobus Roof Gallery  (read my blogpost here). Sina Souza (sinalein) started with creating images in Second Life in November 2012. She has had a lot of exhibitions, from which I saw just one back in 2017 “Mental Levels” at MetaLES (read here). Actually that was the last exhibtion of Sina Souza before she took a break of Second Life for 4 years and returned with the exhibtion at Nitroglobus Roof Gallery.

Sina’s art is surreal. Sina tries to visualisize thoughts, snippets that come to her mind. Her work is intriguing and hard to describe. You have to see it yourself and make up your mind about it.
Sina Souza (sinalein) has an own website and a flickr account.

Paolo Roversi is one of the most established Italian photographers, internationally renowned as an interpreter of fashion capable of creating atmospheres with a strong emotional charge. Paolo was born in Italy in 1947 and lives in Paris nowadys. The selection of pictures and portraits showcased at Narcotic Concept prove the strong emotions that can be captured in photographs. You can find more about Paolo Roversi on the internet starting at wikipedia.

The next room I entered is used to display the art of Sara Moon. The pictures are very colourful. I can’t tell which technic is used, some of them look like blurred photographs, others more like paintings. But all show females and fashion.

Sarah Moon was born as Marielle Warin in Vernon (France) in 1941. When the Nazis arrive in Paris, the family of Jewish origin is forced to flee to England. Here Sarah spends the first years of her childhood. After studying drawing, she works as a fashion model in London and Paris (1960-1966) under the stage name of Marielle Hadengue. In her spare time, she discovers a passion for photography and starts taking pictures. Starting in 1970 she began working as a fashion photographer. Today Sarah Moon is considered a key figure in the history of fashion. Her soft, romantic, melancholic, timeless images have revolutionized the conventional language.

Sarah Moon is one of the most famous contemporary photographers. Throughout her career as a fashion photographer and in her personal artistic work, she has developed a unique style, constantly enveloped in an ethereal, painterly atmosphere. More information can be found on the internet starting at wikipedia.

When I entered the room with the black and white pictures of Jeanloup Sieff that was quite a contrast to the art of Sarah Moon. Jeanloup’s pictures are very erotic without being explicit. A real eye candy in black and white. And Jeanloup Sieff was not listed on the Narcotic Concept Poster, hence a real “bonus” artist.

Jeanloup Sieff is of Polish descent. He was born in Paris in 1933. Jeanloup Sieff debuted as a photographer in the fashion world working for Elle magazine. In New York, the artist collaborated with major magazines such as Vogue, Queen and Elle. In New York Jeanloup Sieff reaches the world fame but chooses to return to Paris. France has celebrated his talent with a series of awards. It is in Paris that the photographer died in 2000, leaving his wife and daughter his passion for photography.

Eroticism as his distinctive feature. A provocative and elegant art in search of an immortal beauty. Jeanloup Sieff is one of the most important masters in the history of photography of the twentieth century. Nudes, portraits, fashion and dance told through an unmistakable style.
You can find more information about Jeanloup Sieff on the internet starting on wikipedia or on his website.

And after the black and white erotic art I experienced the next contrast enterting the box with the art of Maciek Jasik, another RL photographer.
Maciek Jasik, born in 1978 in Poland, is a photographer based in New York City whose work seeks to understand society’s relationship to the natural world. Through his art, Maciek Jasik not only tests the limits of color and movement, but also seeks to find a stability between planning and spontaneity. His photography explores notions of identity, gender, and self while working in a parallel world of infinite colors and puzzling physical phenomena.
Maciek aims to strike a balance between aesthetic and emotional concerns with a powerful, yet subtle and unique use of color.

In his years of professional experience, his work has been published everywhere from New York Magazine, Time, Huffington Post to Bloomberg Businessweek, Vice and The New Yorker. In addition to publications and editorial assignments, his photographs have been seen in the United States, England, Russia and Belgium.
I didn’t find a wikipedia entry, but if you google Maciek you find a lot more information about him and his art on the net.

So far most of the artwork I saw during my visit at Narcotic Concept were for RL artists, uploaded into Second Life. I admit that I didn’t know any of the the artists. But I had seen Akim Alonzo’s exhibition “Matrix” before.
Akim’s photos are loosely based on the cult movie The Matrix – a metaphor for a world of people trapped in a simulated, virtual reality that has many aspects in common with the Secondlife world.

Akim is a traveller and photographer in Second Life. He owns and curates “The Itakos Art Gallery” and he runs a website. I have visited his gallery quite often already and am happy that is exhibtion “The Matrix” is showcased again. You can also see more of Akim Alonzos art on his flickr page.

The next box I saw is dedicated to Omar Galliani.
Galliani’s works are mainly monumental drawings executed in graphite, sometimes with the addition of the color red. The technique is based on the use of graphite or charcoal on white or light-colored materials, and then traces skilful lines and chiaroscuro, also using the spolvero technique, which recall the artistic tradition of the Renaissance. Lights and shadows are in constant dialogue, intense and suffused blacks evoke and dematerialize the representations, sometimes embellished by sanguine symbols with anatomical, vegetable and religious references: a reflection on art and its silent and meaningful languages.

Omar Galliani is an Italian artist, born in 1954. Again you find more inforation about him on the net, best starting with his website.

What started as a short visit to a new exhibtion of Sophie de Saint Phalle (perpetua1010) had become a long art afternoon for me. And finally I also found her box at Narcotic Concept. I have reported about Spohie quite often already, the last time when I visited “Soltice”, an installation that vanished from Second Life way too quickly (read here). The exhibtion room of Sophie de Saint Phalle is kind of a selection of her artwork, a bit of everything of her art. I appreciate that you can get a picture of her style with this selection.

Sophie de Saint Phalle (perpetua1010) is a Austrian RL painter and book author. She mainly paints nude from models and abstract art. She loves to experiment with different kinds of paint and lithography. Her favourite materials are sand, plaster, glue, terracotta, stones, bones, ash, charcoal, natural pigments and more.
Sophie has made several book illustrations and was for many years political cartoonist for a well known satire magazine. She lived and worked in the Unites States, Australia, Rome and Monaco.

Sophie de Saint Phalle (perpetua1010) has an own gallery, The “SUBCUTAN Art Gallery and Multimedia Centre“.

Narcotic Concept is a quite unique art place in Second Life as it features mostly the art of RL artists. It’s kind of a bridge between the virtual world of Second Life and the physcial world. With the exhibtion it can be proved that RL art can develop it strength also in a virtual world where light effects and the arrangement of the pictures can be done in a different way than classic exhibtions. I want to thank the whole team of Narcotic Concept consisting of Lunhea, Ly Glenwalker, ZioRebecco Sciavo and Carle (carleonie), who worked to realize this exhibtion in Second Life.

Diary 2021 (126) September 19th/20th Bondage at Psi’s realm

Sunday, September 19th, I spent some time inworld in the morning mostly to do some reasearch for another blog entry. In the afternoon I spent some time at Puerto Esclava. pet (Newlifeloading) was inworld and we first talked about her wardrobe in IM. She has some work to do setting it up. I summoned her to me and we continued talking there. When slave Holly came inworld too, I summoned her also to me. I had fun sitting in one of the chairs there looking like a queen with the slaves around me.

September 19th: Diomita at Puerto Esclava with pet and slave Holly

pet had to leave and I had a nice chat with slave Holly. Then to my surprise Mistress Jenny came inworld and I returned home with slave Holly. I caught up just a little bit with Mistress, then I had to leave to tend to my RL.

I had a full family night again. It began with a skipee against Flo and Angelique. pet (Newlifeloading) and slave Alessi watched and later also slave Holly. We went to Carnal Intentions that night. I had in mind that slave Holly entertained us and the other guests and removed her chastity belt. Then she was allowed to use one of the dido cushions at the club.
Soon her moans filled the room. After she had her orgasm I put slave into a hogtie and kept her at my feet.

We had another random sub who knelt close to our group. I had IMs with Angelique and pet. pet was further working on her wardrobe and on the RLV function of it.

September 19th: Diomita and Angelique at Carnal Intentions with Flo, slave pet, slave Holly, slave Alessi and a random sub

After Flo and pet had left to bed, slave Faye joined us. She had been absent for almost two weeks. Welcome back, Faye. We stayed a bit more at Carnal Intentions and after slave Alessi and Angelique had left as well, I returned home with slave Faye and slave Holly and said good night to slave Faye. I took slave Holly with me to our skybox and allowed her a second orgasm on my feet … before I locked her belt back on.

September 19th: Diomita at Carnal Intentions with slave pet, slave Alessi, slave Holly and slave Faye / Diomita at home with slave Holly

Monday, September 20th, Jenny was back from her short vacation. We met in the afternoon and spent more than 2 hours together at Puerto Esclava and at club Domme a Domme. We caught up with our news, we spoke about plans and about our family. At club Domme a Domme slave Faye joined us for a while before we had to log off to tend to our RL.

September 20th: Jenny and Diomita at Puerto Esclava and at club Domme a Domme with slave Faye

Our night began with a skipee again. Angelique and Jenny played against Flo and me. pet stayed at my feet and we chatted a bit while I played. it was a close game that Angelique and Jenny won. We were almost finished when slave Holly came inworld.

September 20th – Bondage at Psi’s realm (1): Mistress Jenny, Diomita, Angelique and Flo with slave Holly and slave Faye

We spent the night at Psi’s realm. Pet had to leave for bed, slave Faye came inworld and I summoned her to us. I tied up slave Faye and slave Holly at the chains at Psi’s realm. I love them, they are perfect for bondage. I played with Holly’s and Faye’s restrictions, forced them to look at me and it was fun to watch how they both turned when I began walking around. Mistress Jenny and I spend a nice and relaxed night teasing the two. It was round midnight when we returned home and went to bed.

Art in Second Life 2021 (93) DixMix Gallery Anniversary Exhibtion

I got an invitation to attend the opening of the anniversary exhibtion at DixMix Gallery on September 18th. I visited the exhibtion the day after the opening.

DixMix Source features three exhibitions for the anniversary:

“Zwartwit” by Catherine Nikolaidis (opened until October 22nd) in room Amalfia, “Summer Vibes” by Lori Bailey (ishtara1) (opened until October 15th) in room Abby and “Cabaret” by Caly Applewhyte (Calypso Applewhyte) (opened until October 29th) in room Amona.

I started my visit with “Zwartwit” by Catherine Nikolaidis. Zwartwit is Dutch and translates to Black and White. Catherine’s pictures have a vintage touch. The exhibtion consists of 13 black&white photographs, photographs obviously taken in Second Life and processed with light and shadow effects into erotic art. All photographs show women in lingerie, sometimes only parts of a full body, sometimes focused on the face, never fully naked and always leaving enough room for the fantasies and stories of the spectator.

I saw Catherine Nikolaidis’ artful photographs already in May at DixMix Gallery when I visited her exhibition “Quelqu’un” (read here).
Catherine Nikolaidis was born in Greece and lives in the Netherlands. She joined Second Life in 2007 and photography is one of her passions. She writes about herself: “I believe strongly in sharing. I believe in communicating. I believe in creation and inspiration. I love black & white. I feel strongly for music.”
Catherine is a photographer, blogger & brand manager for several stores. She runs her own website and shares her work also on her flickr page.

The exhibition “Summer Vibes” by Lori Bailey (ishtara1) in room Abby is a real contrast. Lori’s pictures are very colourful and show beautiful landscapes and views, taken in Second Life. I had the impression that I have visited some of these places myself – yet I didn’t make such great pictures!

Lori Bailey (ishtara1) is in Second Life since 2013. She loves to explore new places and to take pictures of all the beauty Secondlife has to offer. She mostly makes pictures of landscapes, that’s her passion. It is the first time that I came across Lori Bailey and her artful pictures.
You can see more of Lori’s work at on her flickr page.

“Cabaret” by Caly Applewhyte (Calypso Applewhyte) is shown in room Amona. I have covered Caly’s artwork already a few times in this blog. “Cabaret” consists of 12 black and white pictures, originally taken in Second Life. Taking them must have been quite an effort. They all look to be from the 1920ies, show erotic studies of the female body in a typical “Cabaret” environment and dressed in lingerie of the time.

Caly (Calypso Applewhyte) is a SL Photographer from France, who joined SL in 2010. Her focus is the avatar itself as a means of expression to transport emotions. She processes her pictures with Photoshop. You can recognise her style, she has found her personal characteristic artistic style. Her pictures do tell stories, like good art has to do.
According to her profile Caly also blogs and has written articles for several magazines. And she also make portrait pictures of course. You can see her work also on her flickr account.

Happy anniversary, DixMix gallery! Thank you Dixmix for providing and curating the DixMix Gallery, thank you Megan for building it and for contributing to it. Many thanks of course also to the contributing artists Catherine Nikolaidis, Lori Bailey (ishtara1) and Caly Applewhyte (Calypso Applewhyte). I want to thank also Violet Boa, who does the PR work for DixMix Gallery and who is always helpful for me to gather information.
Once again I enjoyed my visit.

Diary 2021 (125) September 17th/18th When Mistress is away / a family night

Friday, September 17th, I was inworld erractically during the day, sometimes just idling at Puerto Esclava. I met slave Holly in the morning and I tried to sit her into her new cage at our skybox. It didn’t work at all as the settings were messed. slave Holly had to leave and I spend some time to fix the cage. A simple reset didn’t do the job, but finally I got it working again.
When slave Holly returned I brought her into her new cage and restricted her view. I set up the RemVision and in the coruse of the afternoon she saw the complete film of Marine Kelly, the one that I saw myself and that Mistress Jenny saw a few days before. I myself idled at Puerto Esclava, had a chat here and there and tended to my RL. Inbetween I visited slave Holly to change the parts of the film (it consists of 4 parts) and to use her as my toilet.

September 17th: Diomita and slave Holly at our skybox

My night began busy. I released our pet (Newlifeloading) from her puppy life and issued a few new orders for her. Angelique came by, Flo, slave Holly…. I went with pet to get her the wardrobe. She will have to make her inventory visible for me. And over talking about the wardrobe and how to set it up best it was time to go to our Friday night party.

September 17th: Diomita at home with pet (Newlifeloading), Angelique, Flo and slave Holly

Mistress Jenny and I had already fixed a theme for our Friday night party the day before. Even though Mistress was on vacation, she helped selecting it and had a great idea: “It’s Friday again, and when it’s Friday, then we have our party. It is the last Friday with a longer day than night. Wear something according to your preference, black for the night or white for the day, or maybe both – or simply come as you are. DJ Virgo is spinning the tunes”

September 17th – Friday night party: Diomita, Angelique, Flo, pet (Newlifeloading), slave Holly, Elena (Elenaslv. Serenity), Claven Albatros, Laura (Laura00175), Morgie Darkstone (upper row), Della Randt, Starbright Wingtips, Starbright Wingtips, Sara (SaraRandall), SnowWhite Bloodrose, Jayson Dakota, Baroness Capelo, Virgo Babii (lower row)

We had fun as always. And shortly before I left the party with slave Holly, Mistress logged in to report that she is having a great time.

Saturday, September 18th, I was inworld in the later morning and had a short roleplay, just a start, then I had to leave. slave Holly had sent me a picture of herself laying in her cage in our skybox.

September 18th: slave Holly in her cage at our skybox

I returned after lunch for a bit, talked with pet (Newlifeloading) about her new wardrobe. Our pet will be busy when we’re not inworld. I roamed a bit, but then logged out. When I returned in the late afternoon, I just could catch up a little bit with Jenny. She had been inworld for 2 hours and I had missed her. But at least we cloud hug each other and we could exchange some news.
pet presented the first attempts of her wardrobe to me. She did well, added 18 items. Not bad for the start. I gave her a few hints, then I had to log off again to tend to my RL.

When I returned at night, slave pet was present and tryingour hairstyles. I had shaved her head bald and shave “slave” into the remaining short hair and she had the task to find something fitting. pet did well and had a collection of 10 different styles from which I picked one. Angelique joined us and we went to club Domme a Domme first. While we were there, Flo, slave Holly and slave Alessi come inworld and we returned home. Angelique and Flo played a skipee against slave Holly and me. The game was nice, though a bit one sided. pet and Alessi watched.

September 18th – family night: Diomita with Angelique, Flo, slave Holly, slave pet and slave Alessi at home and at Psi’s realm

After the game we all went to Psi’s realm where we spent the night mostly chatting amoung us. I had to pee inbetween and I did that at Psi’s realm, slave pet watched how I used slave Holly as my toilet. Time went by quickly and at midnight I took the girls home.

Enjoying Bondage September 2021 – Double Jenny at Psi’s realm

This month Enjoying Bondage pictures is based on our activities during the first two weeks of September. Mistress Jenny has a new appearance and she took me into a deep red light. After my red light, Mistress had the idea that we both spend some days in her outfit and hairstyle. We looked for trouble as twin Jenny’s (and we even found it once). And mid of September I had a green light and tied Jenny up at Psi’s realm.

The base picture of the Enjoying Bondage picture for September was taken on September 14th, when I visited Jenny at Psi’s realm in the morning. I was still in my “Jenny” look by the way.
I added Mistress Jenny, slave Alessis and out pet Sun (Newlifeloading) from a visit at Psi’s realm on September 11th. I added Mistress Jenny with me on her leash (that picture was taken at club Domme a Domme on September 9th). And I added slave Holly tied up (picture taken on September 13th at Carn Intentions). I named the picture “Double Jenny at Psi’s realm” to refer to Jenny and me wearing the same hairstyle (Double Jenny) and because she appears 3 times. Now can you distinguish Mistress Jenny and me?

Here it is…

Diary 2021 (124) September 15/16th Back in Control (II)

Wednesday, September 15th, I had another day with quite some presence inworld. I logged in in the earlier morning and had a failed roleplay that ended abruptly and left me cuffed *sighs*: I went to our skybox and began the long process of struggling out. Jenny came inworld and I went to Psi’s realm. I allowed her to touch and she unlocked my cuffs. We caught up with our news, then I uploaded the 3rd part of Marine’s film into her RemVision and left her.

September 15th: Diomita and Jenny at Psi’s realm

When I returned in the afternoon, Jenny had finished watching the 3rd part. The film has an epilog and I uploaded and watched Jenny. I admit, the bondage was really very aesthetic, I couldn’t take my eyes off Jenny. But I didn’t want to keep her like that forever and hence I released her from the chains. It was about time to expose my property. I took her to club Domme a Domme and I got quite some remarks. I enjoyed.
I always have to make the most of my green light. Therefore I took Jenny home with me to celebrate with a nice fuck. I fixed her on a simple rack and teased her.

September 15th: Diomita and Jenny at club Domme a Domme and at home

I stripped her, put my strapon on, and fucked her hard. Jenny pushed her body back as best as she could to meet my thrusts. It was quite pure sex and Jenny had a strong orgasm. I couldn’t refrain from licking her clean afterwards. Her juices are intoxinating and I knew it, but I couldn’t stop licking her until she had a second orgasm – and I had my fix. It was hard for me to regain control, the effect was surprisingly strong.
I unlocked Jenny and took her back to club Domme a Domme but we didn’t stay long. The licking was too much and fueled my submission too strongly. We returned home and I ended my green light a bit before time – as it felt right. Thank you Mistress Jenny.

September 15th: Diomita and Jenny at home and at club Domme a Domme

At night our pet greeted me woofing happily when I came inworld. I could get used to that! Flo was playing a skipee and I joined her for a round. When we had finished, slave Holly, Angelique and Mistress Jenny were also inworld.
Flo went off to bed to recover from a flu and we all went to Carnal where we stayed all night. After the varied day and my green light it was very relaxing just to chat and look to come down. At midnight we went to bed.

September 15th: Mistress Jenny, Diomita and Angelique at Carnal Intentions with pet (Newlifeloading) and slave Holly

Thursday, September 16th, Mistress Jenny and I had a long time together in the afternoon. We were at Puerto Esclava, where we met UlaBauer, at club Domme a Domme and at Heavy Bondage Club. We just enjoyed teasing eachother a bit, reading profiles, catching up with our news and trying to get into trouble. The latter almost happened but we had to tend to our RL when the opportunity arose.

September 16th: Mistress Jenny and Diomita a Puerto Esclava with UlaBauer, at club Domme a Domme and at Heavy Bondage Club

Our night began with a skipee with Flo. pet was at our feet and we caught up with our news while playing. After the game with went to Heavy Bondage Club for the night. slave Holly and Elena (Elenaslv Serenity) joined us there. We chatted mostly amoung us. pet had fun walking around, barking and sniffing and marking her spot. After Flo and pet had left for bed we said good night to Elena and returned home with slave Holly.

September 16th: Mistress Jenny and Diomita at Heavy Bondage Club with Elena, Flo, slave Holly and pet

Mistress would be away for a short vacation over the weekend and she had a treat in mind for Holly. She wants her to stay overnight in our skybox in the cage that is usually reserved for me. Mistress asked me to make a new board for the wall behind the cage. When I was done we took slave Holly with us to our skybox and Mistress explained slave Holly her treat. At least slave Holly would be close when I need to pee *winks*.
we sent slave Holly to bed and Mistress administered a fix to me. The effect seems to become stronger and stronger. Thank you, Mistress Jenny. Oh, one last thing … I kept my parterning collar for the weekend Jenny was away!

Art in Second Life 2021 (92) Silences by Melusina Parkin

I got an invitation to Melusina Parkins’s latest exhibtion called “Silences“.
“Silences” by Melusina Parkin is shown at Melu Gallery, an exhibtion space located above Melusina’s store for Art Deco furniture called “Melu Deco”.

Impressions of “Silences” by Melusina Parkin (1)

Silences” compromises around 20 pictures all arranged at the 4 walls of the exhibition room. In the center of the exhibition room you find a table with books. Those who are regular visitors to Melusina Parkin’s exhibitions know these books already:
Melusina All-in-One Exhibits allow you to keep at home the whole exhibit you visited and loved. It’s an alternative kind of the exhibit catalogue: you can hang the object on your home’s walls and enjoy the changing images. They come in four versions, that you can choose according to your home style: plain or framed, changing image by touch or in random loop. The objects are set as modifiable, so you can adapt them to your walls.
There’s also a board where you can get an overview of all the posters of Melusina Parkin’s exhibtions and of her available “melubooks”.

Exhibition posters and melubooks

Melusina Parkin’s photos tend towards minimalism, which is Melu’s main inclination: simple details from daily life or usual landscapes are the subject of mostly empty scenes, stressing voids, space, geometries, lights; this reveals hidden meanings or pushes the observer to give them her/his own one. Her favorite subjects are wide landscapes, city views, industrial environments, popular lifestyles and daily objects.
Back to “Silences“. What a fitting name! And what a fit to Melusina’s style.

Impressions of “Silences” by Melusina Parkin (2)

Silence can be everywhere, be it on a street that leads into nowhere, be it on a street at night when all are gone to sleep, be it sitting outside or looking on a field, Silence can be felt when you sit together with someone and have nothing to say or when you just understand eachother without saying a word, silence can be found in an exhibition, silence can be experienced on a stage or behind of it. And it can even be found in a train.
Melusina succeeds to capture the silence in pictures.

Impressions of “Silences” by Melusina Parkin (3)

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.
Besides the gallery at Time Portal Melusina has also owns a second place (Melu Space) with another gallery (Minimum Gallery), a bookstore and another “Melu Deco” inworld store.

Diary 2021 (123) September 13th/14th Back in control (I)

Monday, September 13th, Jenny and I spent way more time inworld during the day than we both had planned. The night before Jenny expected to be not inworld before night. I went inworld in the morning to visit a gallery and Jenny had just logged in. We changed into a 3rd twin Jenny outfit with white hair and went looking for trouble at club Domme a Domme and at Heavy Bondage Club. we had fun – but didn’t find any trouble.

When Jenny left to tend to her RL, I went visiting the gallery as I had intended. I returned in the early afternoon and visited another gallery and was almost done when Jenny came back inworld. I finished my visit and met her at Club Domme a Domme. It was quite full and just after 15 minutes we finally found some trouble and fun. We went to Angel of Pain with “our” trouble. I won’t share names nor many pictures – but it was almost time for dinner when we went off.

I returned at night and the family had already gathered at the games table: Jenny, Alessi, Flo and out pet. pet woofed happily when she saw me, such a good pet. We first played a round of greedy and when we were done Angelique joined us. After the full day together as twin Jenny’s we wanted a quiet night. We went to Carnal Intentions and chatted amoung us there. I summoned slave Holly to us when she came inworld.
After Flo and pet had left, I decided to tease slave Holly a bit and tied her up in spreaders. Rubberdoll (Ulabauer) did not stand far from us and she took out a paddle. When I noticed that I invited her to spank our slave Holly and she accepted the offer. She was not careful, actually she gave slave Holly a full spanking with her paddle and slave Holly made us proud with her obedience and politeness enduring the spanking without any too loud complaints. After this little session we took Alessi and slave Holly home and said good night to them.

Jenny had allowed a green light starting that night and I had plans for her. I made her wear her short hair and latex lingerie, cuffs and gag, I tied and locked her up and took her with me to Psi’s realm. There I put her into chains, restricted her view with the RemVision and started Marine’s fim “Alis”, part 1. Then I left her helplessly tied up and went to bed.

For Tuesday, September 14th, Jenny had announced being only inworld in the morning. Therefore I logged in in the morning and visited her at Psi’s realm. Her RemVision film was about to be finished. We caught up with our news and I invited Dana (Dana Darkwatch) over to have a look at my property. Am I a little bit proud and vane? *coughs*. She helped me teasing Jenny a bit. Before Jenny had to leave to tend to her RL I uploaded the 2nd part of the RemVision movie for her, so that she has something to enjoy if she’d come inworld unplanned or the next day.

Dana took me to her new home and showed me around and we had a playful intermezzo trying out a cross at her new office room. Later we chatted sitting on a lounger until I had to leave myself to tend to my RL.

I had a busy afternoon – not inworld, but I was busy writing for the blog and prepared a longer report about a gallery visit and created the next Enjoying Bondage picture. That was time consuming and I didn’t log in again during the day.

I had a varied and relaxed night. I first roamed a bit, then met Flo at home. We played a round of skipee and while we played our pet came inworld as well as slave Alessi and Angelique. After the game I took them to Carnal Intentions. We chatted amoung us and I relaxed. After pet and Flo had left to bed, slave Holly came inworld and I summoned her to us. I had an IM from Dana, who recommended another place named “The Perversion” and we went there for a bit. It is a fetish dance club and it was nicely crowded but not too full.

Back home I took slave Holly with me to the naughty girls room and allowed her to lick me … she did well and I enjoyed to the fullest.

Backflash September 2021 – “Strict Ballet Academy” (September 2011)

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 our Second Life without reading back the many posts and it might also give reason to browse through the archives.
For August 2021 I scrolled back 10 years and selected a post from September 2011: “Strict Ballet Academy”. We really have had a varied time in our Second Life so far, trying out many things and kinks. The Strict Ballet Academy (SBA) is something Jenny and I do remember very well – and the textures of it and the building is still somewhere deep in my inventory.

Enjoy reading!


Strict Ballet Academy

We added a new place to our home sim – the Strict Ballet Academy (SBA). The following text was written by titta, Delilah, Jenny and myself. Enjoy learning more about the Academy.

tittia:
When I was young girl I was in ballet. I loved it and did it for many years. First classical and later I tried  jazz ballet. Somehow the elegance and hard work attracted me. Looking back on that period I liked the way my ballet mistress was harsh and strict.  So I guess that memory with the BDSM theme made me founding the SBA some time ago.
I started it first as a Ballet Mistress but in time I realised there was something stronger deep inside me. Now I am a slave and therefore there isn’t a place for me to be in front of the classroom.  I wanted  to keep the SBA alive and my lovely family were with me on that point. So in good consultation with my Mistress Dio, we decided to bring new life in this wonderful and exciting place. Mistress Dio and her family members did a great job to keep the right spirit and rebuild the SBA on another sim. I’m proud and happy to see that there is a bright future for the SBA in front of us.

Delilah :
Hearing about this place after I joined the family made me curious and one evening, as I had time with tittia, I asked her to take me to visit the place and she accepted. First thing she did was to lead me to the dressing room and made me wear a Ballet Slut uniform which, I have to say, immediately turned me on and made me wet and shameful. (Even today, as I write those lines, and as I come back for that in this place which is about to disappear, and where I had occasions of several memories of a very *different* way since that, I can’t help but still feeling a bit dizzy about that particular first moment.)

Then she led me to the ballet studio and made me do a tour of the possibilities there. She didn’t give me a real lesson, but that was enough to get me really excited, and we both agreed it was very sad to let this place unused because of the lack of Mistresses to run it. Then I had an idea — and I couldn’t have foreseen what this idea would bring! I suggested an agreement to tittia than she would form me as a Ballet Mistress: she would give me lessons to make me know this world better “from the inside”  and then I could make the SBA reopen. Of course we had to ask Mistress Diomita if she would agree with that… She did not *only* agree, she immediately showed herself really enthusiastic at the idea.

Later on the night, as everybody had get to bed except our night owl vanessa and me, I talked about that event with my sis, and showed her the uniform. Just seeing me in this seemed to make her the same effect than it did to me to discover it by wearing it. And when I logged back in the next evening, I found vanessa in this uniform, and Mistress Dio said to me she ordered her to stay in it until otherwise told. And yet vanessa didn’t say anything to Mistress about the previous night. Funny how the things go. Quickly I went to give my first lesson as Ballet Mistress to vanessa, under the eyes of Mistress Dio who told me she was very pleased about it. Some other lessons followed. Today I realize it was these details that betrayed Mistress Diomita’s enthusiasm about all that, an enthusiasm which would soon give unexpected results.

So she started to talk about moving the SBA to the Eurobrats’ island, up the Hotel California,  next spring when the lease of the previous place will end. Then, about moving without waiting so long. Then, not only about moving but improving: bigger place, more furnitures, scripts… And then she started to build. One night Miss Jenny and Mistress accompanied me to “Miss S.” shop, so I could show them what tittia suggested it would be good for me to wear as working as Ballet Mistress; and instead of that, Mistress Dio started to talk about the idea to make an uniform for all the Ballet Mistresses. We spent some few time to debate how it would look, and she contacted Scissor Serpente to order it.

And here we are, not only tittia and me but also Mistress Diomita and Miss Jenny, standing in our brand new and sexy Ballet Mistress uniforms in this huge place that is the new SBA , above our Mount Everest. There is still a changing room and an office, but the Exercise Hall that replaces the previous Ballet Studio is far more big than it was. And we have a brand new Correction Center to deal with some undisciplined students. And there’s also something more that we have: some very exciting perspectives for the future of this place…

tittia, Jenny, Diomita, Delilah – at the new Strict Ballet Academy

Diomita:
I met tittia at her Strict Ballet Academy. She showed me the place and I got the ballet slut uniform. And just a few seconds later I found myself excited in a submissive position… and I admit I enjoyed it a lot. I considered to become a student. When I met tittia later again I saw her submissive side and I couldn’t resist to explore that side. And this exploration ended when I collared her as “Maurer’s Prima”. Her tag implies already that she’s a ballerina – my ballerina, our ballerina. The founder of the Strict Ballet Academy.
Building the Academy on our home sim was a lot of fun as I like building. And we made a lot of plans and most of those plans will become reality sooner or later. For right now we want to reopen the Academy. My first plan is to get some more family members involved and hopefully also some of our other family and friends. If we get more of us instructing at the SBA we will be able to take a few more students, and to run the place a bit more frequently and maybe even to advertise for it.
As Jenny and I care a lot about our family our time to instruct ourself will be limited. But I should be able to supervise. And I look forward to use the new place and the background of it. In my opinion the ballet offers a great opportunity for role playing. And that might add some different fun for us and even become a family hobby for the Eurobrats.
I am quite open for enjoying the SBA at the most.. and we did already have a lot of fun just by moving, building, furnishing and getting the right clothes. So if it is just our family hobby I will be happy with it. If there’s developing more – even better.
Be sure to get a tour and consider applying for a first lesson.

Jenny:
This project came at exactly the right time for us. It has given us both a focus and an opportunity to involve and include our family.
When we developed our family as a couple we moved from Rivers Rock and Dragon Cove and finally to Mount Everest. During these moves we have focused on making a home for our family and now with the Academy the focus has shifted to making this a family venture.
It has been a delight to see the energy and enthusiasm from all sides and for this reason alone it has been a great success.

Diary 2021 (122) September 11th/12th The Jenny Maurer Twins

When I peeked into Second Life on Saturday, September 11th, later morning, Mistress Jenny was inworld. I met her at club Domme a Domme. We caught up with our mutual news first. Mistress was in a quite domme mood. She took me to club DeLust and ordered me to sit on the cushion next to the chair she had chosen to sit on. The cushion was an human seat cushion, the one that I often use myself to sit on or rezz for Mistress to sit on a slave.
After a while Mistress asked another guest to have a seat on me ….
We returned home when it was time for Mistress and me to tend to our RL again. pet was at home and happily barked seeing us. I could get use to having a pet *winks*.

Mistres stored me at the wall in our skybox and teased me badly posing in front of me and rubbing herself. Then she left me frustrated and helplessly locked up.

When I returned inworld in the early afternoon, Mistress Jenny was already present. She unlocked me and led me to her throne to get licked by me. I licked her with passion and desire and got the next does of her intoxinating sweet poison falling deeper into submission to her. But this time Mistress had different plans. We went to xtra Ordinairy and I got the same latex business dress that Mistress was wearing since the day before. Furtheron Mistress took me to the hairstylist … and soon we were twins. Mistress even unlocked my slave collar and exchanged it with my partnering collar.

September 11th: Mistress Jenny and Diomita at home

We went to club Domme a Domme and to Puerto Esclava and we got quite some nice comments. We were wearing cuffs and had all keys out, yet nothing happened of course. It will be fun teasing our slaves and subs – double trouble for them (or double fun) *winks*. We had a quite full and varied 2 hours together that afternoon.

We had a relaxed night. Flo, slave Holly, pet and slave Alessi were inworld and we played a round of greedy first. Angelique joined us and watched. After the game I really had to pee urgently and retreated with slave Holly.
We all went to Psi’s realm and spent the night there. We chatted amoung us and we teased our slaves and pet – nothing more and nothing less.

Sunday, September 12th, I met with Jenny in the later morning and it was at me to select an outfit for us twins. After we had changed we went to club Domme a Domme and to Heavy bondage Club. At coub Domme a Domme I really was flooded with IMs for what reason ever! But overall we had fun being together and trying to find any trouble – of course without any success.

We met again in the afternoon and went to Carnal Intentions for a while. Jenny had an idea to make something different. We went table dancing at club Delust. Unfortuantely whilt club DeLust is full almost anytime, there wren’t many guests and none who’s interest we could catch. We went to Puerto esclava next and danced on the court there – no tips *pouts*, no comments … Finally we went to club Domme a Domme and pole danced there. While it was full in the monring, it was almost empty in the afternoon. Again, no remarks nor comments, but Jenny and I had fun exposing ourselves. To complete our dancing afternoon we went to the Lesbian Loft and danced together there. Angelique came by there and we exchanged a few words. And that’s about the twin’s afternoon.

At night Jenny ran late and I played two rounds of greedy with slave Alessi and Flo. slave Holly came inworld after the first round, Jenny after the second. We decided to stay at home and took the girls to our stonehaven patio. Jenny rezzed 3 of her thrones, and took slave Holly to serve her. I took slave Alessi to serve me. And Flo? She sat between us and enjoyed her role as head maid and senior sub *laughs*. We had fun with some batner and with teasing the slaves.

After Flo had drunk enough wine she retreated to her hut and we took slave Holly and slave Alessi to Carnal Intentions for a short while. we didn’t stay too long as slave Holly had an early start the next day. When we returned home, Faye cam inworld. We had in mind changing her outfit after she was in the hibble suit for quite some time. We took Faye to the stonehaven patio and spend the rest of the night with setting her up properly in a catsuit, harness and hood.

After all that was a nice and full weekend.
