After my visit to “The beauty of moving water” by Nils Urqhart at Kondor gallery (read here) Nils Urqhart invited me to see the RL Photo Festival, which opened it’s doors on March 31st.

It’s the 3rd RL Photo Festival after 2019 with 12 participants and 2020 with 15 participants. The 2021 festival shows the artful pictures and photographs of 18 different artists. Nis Urqhart organized the festival, that takes place in a high-rise building, Helvellyn Gallery, that was provided by Chia (Volchia Ferduccio).

On the ground floor, where you land is the dancefloor for the opening party. At one wall you can see a film of the opening party, a board with the participating artists and you can scroll through a book, which presents all 18 artists with a short biography and description of their themes. In the book you also find many links to flickr pages and to galleries of the participating artists. The book is sold for just 50 L$.

The participants are: Hermes Kondor, CybeleMoon, Viktor Savior, Melinda Yearsley, Fenella Allen, Orpheus Paxlapis, Duna Gant, MonaByte, Arpeggio, Sisi Biedermann, Slatan Dryke, Bonach Ireton, ArtWolf Eternal, Isabel Soderstrom, 4pril, Monique Beebe, Linda Doune and Nichelle Valois.
I saw the work of some of Hermes Kondor, CybeleMoon (Hana Hoobinoo) and Slatan Dryke already in other exhibition. The names of some others sound familiar to me, they had stands at the Chritmas market next to the Art Gallery Rill’Arts (read here). Some others show their work the very first time at the RL Photo Festival.

The RL Photo Festival provides an overview over many different themes of RL photography: Nature, makro pictures of blossoms and plants, portraits, cities, everyday life scenes, erotic art, black & white photos, animals, gardens, celestial bodies and many more. By the way, the themes are the same for SL photographers. Some photographs are augmented with graphic, others are processed.

To see all the different styles and themes is very enjoyable and you could spend easily many hours at the RL Photo Festival. I didn’t count the photographs but there might be around 200 – hence quite a some to see.
Thank you Nils for the organisation, thank you Chia for providing the space and many thanks to all others who were involved to make this festival come alive. Thanks of course to all participating artists for their work.
The RL Photo Festival will close its doors on April 25th.

Diary 2021 (39) March 25th/26th E & E – Elena and Eroticlaire

Thursday, March 25th, Mistress and I had some time together in the afternoon again. We spent it at Psi’s realm visiting Elena (Elenaslv Serenity). I had a lot report and to fill in Mistress Jenny. And while we caught up, Mistress and I teased Elena a bit. Mistress unleashed Elena so that she could roam around and gave her some landmarks to explore and discover. Mistress also set her cuffs with no touch and keys out, so that Elena was vulnerable. We then moved to club Domme a Domme for a few minutes and met Faye there. Then it was already time again for Mistress to tend to her RL

March 25th: Mistress Jenny and Diomita at Psi’s realm with Elena and at club Domme a Domme

At night I visited a sim, a roleplay environment with a mafia background. I might get involved *winks*. But so far I have not yet decided if I report about it in this blog. You will see. Flo had come inworld and I went home to see her and to play a round of skipee. After the game I took Flo with me to Carnal intentions and summoned Elena to us. She decorated me at the club. Her roaming ahsn’t been successful (so far). Flo had fun tickling her with her nose when Elena literally hang around helplessly. And I joined the fun using a feather.

March 25th: Diomita with Flo and Elena at Carnal Intentions

After Flo had left for bed I used me free time to prepare another blogpost and went to bed myself.

Friday, March 26th, I was inworld quite early in the afternoon and sorted inventory, updated the slideshows and changed. That all took quite some time. Elena sent a message and told me that she had fun with the teddies at Ralf’s Dark Paradise the night before, that she had fun in the morning and had returned to Carnal Intention where Faye (Boy Serenity) locked her. I visited her and Faye shortly, then returned home to wait for Mistress.
Mistress and I returned together to Carnial Intentions and we spent most of our time in the afternoon there. I had a lot to fill in to Mistress. Faye kept Elena (Elenaslv Serenity) close at her feet. Mistress and I both had a short chat with Elena and we were both approached by Eroticlaire, who we had seen at Carnal Intentions before. Eroticlaire asked me to test her collar, a collar that is supposed to be very secure (at least as long you run RLV). I couldn’t resist to lock it – and it stayed locked. Hence we would have at least one guest more for our party at night.
Mistress also set a theme for our party: “It’s Friday again and of course we start our weekend with a party – Hats Vs Hoods, wear something on your head to show your mood. DJ Virgo is spinning the tunes”

March 26th: Mistress Jenny and Diomita at Carnal Intentions with Faye and Elena

Before we went off to care about our RL we went to our loft skybox and Mistress cared that I got my so needed fix. Thank you, Mistress Jenny.

We enjoyed our Friday night party a lot again. Mistress Jenny and I, we both were quite busy in IMs …. with great music in the background. Good that dancing in SL is not that tiring *winks*.

March 26th – Friday night party: Mistress Jenny, Diomita, Flo, Ebony, Elena (Elenaslv Serenity), Eroticlaire, Sarah Fhang, vero Hartmann, Faye (Boy Serenity), Claven Albatros, Laura (Laura00175) (upper row), Barnoness Capelo, Starbright Wingtips, Della Randt, Luna (Luna Nebula), Claire (maddh4tt3r), MissLauraK, Zainaby Blanco, Leigh (VingLee Yven), Virgo Babii, Virgo Babii (lower row)

Before we went off to bed I brought Eroticlaire to Psi’s realm and stored her there – and as she still talks back and is rebellious – she got quite some restrictions and hence time to think…

Art in Second Life (32) FreeDÂme by Vallys Baxter

On March 21st, another gallery was opened at Noir’Wen City – Vallys Baxter’s gallery. The first exhibition is named “FreeDÂme”. I went visiting the next day.

The gallery is in an old storage building. The walls are used to display Vally’s pictures and the rest of the room is filled with decorations, with stuff that piles up with time. There’s quite something to discover. And there are some nice places to sit downand enjoy this particular atmosphere.

Impressions of “FreeDÂme” at Vallys Baxter’s gallery (1)

I have come across Vallys Baxter last year when I saw portraits of her at the Itakos Art Gallery as part of the 2020 Summer Collection (read here).
Vallys is Second Life for more than 14 years. Her artist name is VallysValife. On the occasion of the opening of the gallery, Violet Boa published an interview with Vally and also wrote about Vally’s biography. The interview can be found here:

Vallys is a “sociable loner”. In her “hiding place” in Second Life, she devotes herself to the things she likes most, photography and writing. Often inspired spontaneously, by music, words, situations, emotions, sometimes by a film or a book, she transports her visions into her photos. Vally’s works are often in red, black, white 50/50 shades.

She has been interested in photography since her youth. In her passion for science fiction, she is drawn to Jules Verne’s works. Vallys is heavily influenced by the stories of “Women and Work” by Audrey Hepburn, Vivian Maier and Fran Lebowitz.

“Red is my dark side. Blue is my quiet side.
Purple is my medium side. White is my shadow.
Black is my light….” by Vallys Baxter

All of the pictures at the gallery are very erotic. They show females, naked and dressed, sometimes just the legs, then only the upper body, then only a face or part of the face. And as mentioned in the biography the colours are red, black and white. I could look longer at all of them and immerse into the picture. Vallys’ pictures are quite strong in their expression.

The gallery is dominated by one large picture at the back wall of an elevated floor showing a naked female in black and white in a quite erotic pose – an eye catcher of the exhibtion.

It is great to see how Noir’Wen City develops more and more to an artist comunity – and now it has a gallery more. I’m curious to see more exhibtions of Vallys Baxter. Thank you, Vallys, for your art and thank you Violet Boa for the P.R. and for the interview. Last but not least, thank you Nieu (nieuwenhove) and Belice Benoir for your efforts to enable Noir’Wen City.

Diary 2021 (38) March 23rd/24th Key Holding service reloaded

06 Apr 2021 Leave a comment

by diomitamaurer in Uncategorized Tags: , , , , , ,

Tuesday, March 23rd, Mistress was not inworld during the day. I was inworld quite a lot, but stayed mostly idling at Heavy Bondage Club while I had other things to do in my RL. Then, in the later afternoon, I went visiting a sim, that I had explored before. It is the homesim of a clan, dedicated to roleplay a mafia organisation. Their business is human trafficking and forced prostitution. I had the landmark from a woman, who I met at Heavy Bondage Club several times and with who I had a short roleplay just between us. She, let’s call her ML had told me about the place where she and the clan is living.

Long story short as soon as I arrived, ML appeared behind me and poked a gun into my back. What could I do? She ordered a guard to take me and the two brought me to an old warehouse full with cages. Soon I found myself in one of the cages. ML covered the cage with a black cloth.
But at least this time ML released me after some time as she has not enough time inworld at the moment. Yet, she made it very clear that she will find me again.
I had fun roleplaying.

March 23rd: Diomita in trouble – never cross with the mafia

At night catching up with Mistress took a bit longer as I firstly had a (short) continuation of my blackmailing roleplay before she arrived and I had also some smaller things to report. Angelique has sent a sign of life, simply telling us that her RL is too busy for long online appearances. Of course I told her about my mafia roleplay in every detail … and then I also had an application for our former keyholding service (read here). We were just done catching up, when Flo came inworld, quite late. Hence we then had our obligatory game of skipee. It was a close game and hence entertaining. We then went to Psi’s realm.

The applicant for our keyholding service was ready to be locked and I summoned her to Psi’S realm. Mistress Jenny demanded that she add our script so that we both have access to her restraints. She, Elena (Elenaslv Serenity), did that immediately. After Flo had left for bed, Mistress took Elena and me to a public but silent place and we further dicussed the conditions. Mistress was way softer than I intended to be, but….she’s in control *winks*.

March 23rd: Mistress Jenny and Diomita at home, with Flo as Psi’s realm, with Elena at a silent place and at home, and at club Domme a Domme

After Mistress had set all conditions, we showed Elena our home shortly, then she went off. Mistress and I went chilling at club Domme a Domme for a couple of minutes before we called it a night ourselves.

Mistress Jenny and I met again Wednesday, March 24th, in the afternoon. We spent our time at home, catching up with our mutual news. Then we took Elena to Psi’s realm. Elena didn’t know Psi’s realm. Unfortunately there was really nothing going on that afternoon. But it will be a nice experience for Elena when the bondage bunnies show up. We left Elena leashed at the Wall of Shame and moved on to club Domme a Domme and stayed there until Mistress Jenny had to leave to tend to her RL.

March 24th: Mistress Jenny and Diomita at Psi’s realm with Elena (Elenaslv Serenity) and at club Domme a Domme

I had a quiet night and was alone when I came inworld again. Mistress Jenny was not inworld that night. I decided to visit a new gallery. That was fun and I enjoyed the visit a lot. After my return Flo came inworld and we had our game of skipee first. We spent the rest of the night at Psi’s, right next to Elena. It was really full there and a lot was going on. Elena got quite some entertainment – and Flo and I got entertainment as well. I chatted with Flo and Elena and time went by quickly. After Flo had left for bed, I retreated as well and wrote the report about my gallery visit.

And that’s it about these 2 days.

Simploring 2021 (15) The Divide

05 Apr 2021 Leave a comment

by diomitamaurer in Exploring sims in Second Life Tags: , , , , , ,

Looking for a destination for my simploring tour on Monday, March 15th, I came across The Divide on scoop.it SL Destination. The entry led to an post of Rig Torok just containing some very nice pictures and the landmark description of The Divide:
“The Divide is a study of contrasts, an expression of duality inspired by the works of Hayao Miyazaki. A hidden valley bisected by a narrow river. One side an Asian village, it lies nestled at the foot of an unspoiled forest glen. Separate in harmony.”

Upon landing I noticed Inara Pey who also visited and who’s post about the The Divide – “Crossing the Divide in Scond Life” – was published right the next day. I read her report before writing my own.

The Divide – bird’s eye view and orientation map

The Divide is a full adult region, owned by Coriel (coriel7766). According to Inara Pey The Divide is the the work not only of Coriel (coriel7766) but also of Xen (Xenia Nordberg). And Xen told me after this post was published that Threshin Barnett is also co-owning it and played a large role in helping with the build.

The Divide‘s theme is contrasts. There’s a very urban Japanese setting next to a forest full of magic. There’s the busy town with its little corners of silence. There’re places to enjoy and meditate close to a huge underground night and dance club. And there’s a rock in the form of a mushroom with ruins on its top.

The Divide was inspired by Hayao Miyazaki. I never heard or read about him and I am not at all familiar with Japan or with the Japanese culture.
Hayao Miyazaki (born 5 January 1941) is a Japanese animator, director, producer, screenwriter, author, and manga artist. A co-founder of Studio Ghibli, a film and animation studio, he has attained international acclaim as a masterful storyteller and as a maker of animated feature films, and is widely regarded as one of the most accomplished filmmakers in the history of animation (source: wikipedia).
If there are any inuendos about Miyazaki’s work hidden at The Divide, then I didn’t notice them as I am not familiar with his work.

Impressions of The Divide (1) – The Town

The landing is at a spot where you can either walk into the magic forest or into town. I started my visit with the town. Just after a few meters I saw the entrance to the subway. I expected to see some stores and a subway station – but no, it is the entrance to a huge night and dance club, which alone would be worth a visit. I like the huge gitarre and the all the other decorations. There’s pole dancing as well as enough room to sit and to dance. A very well made club.

Impressions of The Divide (2) – The Subway club

The town itself is a busy place and there’s a lot to dicover. The streets are illuminated not only by boards and raceways but also by decoration lights as if there’s a festival or special day to be celebrated. Some of the stores and houses are furnished and I recommend to have a closer look. For sure I did not discover all but I particularly liked a little Japanese garden with trick fountains – an oasis of silence in a backyard.

Impressions of The Divide (3) – The Town, a bit offside the main street

At the end of the town you find some more quiet places. There’s a container used as a living space which is worth to have a more detailled look at. Over the river begins another world, way more quiet. Close to the town, just across the river, is a large house with a garden.
And I have to mention the rock, that looks like a mushroom. At it’s top are some ruins and in the center is a board game, which is played with up to 10 players (counting the chairs). I have no idea what sort of game it is. And I don’t know if it is just decoration or really playable.
REMARK: Xen (Xenia Nordberg) told me later that the game board on top is actually used by Threshin Barnett when she hosts a weekly game of Dungeons & Dragons for some friends. So it gets plenty of use!

Impressions of The Divide (4) – The Town, the large house across the river, the mushroom rockm the stairs leading into the magic forest

If you walk from the landing point not into town but over the bridge, over the river you enter a complete different world. A long stairway leads into the forest, which I called magic forest because of all the lights and laterns. There are quite a lot places to sit and mediate, places to enjoy the nature and the magic, places to spend time with a loved one either under a tent or in an hallow stump. Again, I’m pretty sure that I missed many details.

Impressions of The Divide (5) – Magic forest

The Divide is a place with several faces. It seemed to me that at the time I visited, it was still a work in progress at some areas. I suffered a bit of lag and had low frame rates while I visited. You might need to wait a bit until all textures have loaded.
Thank you, Coriel (coriel7766), Xen (Xenia Nordberg) and Threshin Barnett for creating The Divide and for sharing it publicly. I enjoyed my visit a lot.

Diary 2021 (37) March 21st/22nd A night at Psi’s realm

Sunday, March 21st, I was inworld quite early in the morning. I visited a gallery and Kitty was inworld and we chatted. I had just finished my gallery visitt and was about to see Kitty when Mistress also logged in. That changed my plans a bit. I went to Pis’s and picked up my property and took her with me to Kitty, who had told me that she was with Ame. Because Amy (chastitycontrol) was inworld, I thought Kitty was with her and went to Amy’s home – no Kitty of course. At least I could showcaed Mistress Jenny *laughs*. We said hello .. well I said hello, Mistress was still gagged, then I asked Kitty for a teleport offer and we went seeing her at Ame (Amelie Sawson)’s home. Ame herself was not present anmore, just another couple – and Kitty was tied up properly.

March 21st: Diomita and Mistress Jenny at Amy (chastitycontrol)’s home / at Ame (Amelie Sawson)’s home and at Psi’s realm with Kitty

We didn’t stay long. It was late for Kitty and Mistress and I had to turn to our RL again as well. I took Kitty and Mistress back to Psi’s realm for a few pictures. And while I was taking pictures Mistress’ timers ran down. Once Mistress was dressed again we said good night to our Kitty and returned home.

In the afternoon, I had not as much time as usual. I waited at club Domme a Domme for Mistress Jenny to return inworld. slave Zephaney was there and was happy that I tied her up. I had some chats that kept me entertained. Finally Mistress came inworld and we spent half an hour together at club Domme a Domme. I enjoyed the last minutes of my green light. Mistress had limited it to that afternoon. Hence before I left to tend to my RL I took my property home returned control to her *sighs*

March 21st: Diomita and Mistress with slave Zephaney at club Domme a Domme / Mistress Jenny and Diomita at Carnal Intentions with Flo

We were inworld early at night and as Flo was also already present we played a skipee first. Then we spent the night at Carnal Intentions with Flo. It was relaxing … and Mistress is back in control.

Monday, March 22nd, Mistress was not inworld during the day and I was quite occupied with my RL. Hence I was inworld only late in the afternoon. It happened that my blackmail roleplay partner was inworld and I had another quite intense experience with her *sighs* (no pictures here *winks*).
I returned quite early at night and visited a gallery that was just opened the day before.
When Mistress Jenny came inworld we started our quite short night with a skipee. Then we went to Psi’s realm for the rest of the night. It was crowded and there was a lot going on, hence we had a lot to watch and had good entertainment. Mistress went off shortly after Flo as she had an early start the next day. Hence that’s it for this diary entry.

March 22nd – a night at Psi’s realm: Mistress Jenny, Diomita and slave Flo – and some other impressions

Art in Second Life 2021 (31) Honey Bender at DixMix Gallery

I visited the exhibition “Honey Bender” at DixMix Gallery in room Amalfia. The exhibition consists of 10 pictures based on SL pictures, all showing females dress in fanatsy, mysterious clothes, often wearing mask or fancy hairstyles. Most of the pictures are party blurred which highlights the sharp areas.

I had never come across Honey Bender before so far. Her style is quite unique. I like the way she processes her pictures turning SL photographs into art. The blurring gives the picture another element of virtual volatileness, moments captured forever. All of the women look interesting, you immediately begin to picture a story fitting to them and to their fancy appearance.

Impressions of “Honey Bender” at DixMix Gallery (1)

Honey Bender is in Second Life for more than 14 years. She is a stylist and photographer in Second Life. As far as I gathered, Homey Bender owns or writes for AUDAZ, a website featuring styles and outfits, accessoires, art, fashion, photographs and trends.
Honey Bender also has her own store for particular and unique fashion. And – according to her profile – she’s rich in both worlds *winks*

Impressions of “Honey Bender” at DixMix Gallery (2)

Thank you Dixmix for providing and curating the DixMix Gallery, thank you Megan for building it and for contributing at it. I enjoyed my visit and seeing Honey’s art and style for the first time. The exhibition “Honey Bender” will stay open until April 23rd.

Diary 2021 (36) March 19th/20th Mistress Jenny’s 13th rezzday inworld

When I came inworld Friday afternoon, March 19th, Mistress Jenny was waiting for me in the annex of our skybox. She had been inworld in the morning and had stayed at Psi’s realm until the timers had run out. She then roamed a bit, had a crash – and found herself back at Psi’s realm for another round *laughs*. Mistress was lucky that I hadn’t set the timers too long.

I asked Mistress to change into another armbinder set and took her to club Domme a Domme, just to expose her and to me me looking good. We didn’t stay very long, as Mistress and my time was limited that afternoon. Instead I took Mistress to our secret hideaway to give her her 13 rezzday spanks – Happy Rezzday, Mistress Jenny. And to celebrate her day Mistress was allowed to lick her Ehesklavin. I should be in control way more often!

March 19th – Mistress Jenny’s 13th (!) rezzday in SL: Diomita and Mistress Jenny at club Domme a Domme / Mistress Jenny at home getting her 13 rezzday spanks and licking Diomita

At night we had our Friday night party and we not only celebrated Mistress Jenny’s rezzday but also St. Patrick Day, hence we had a green party. And we had fun as every Friday, starting our weekend dancing and chatting and having a good time. And of course Mistress Jenny’s rezzday was a subject!

March 19th – Friday Night party – St. Patrick’s Day: Mistress Jenny, Diomita, Flo, Betina Sands, Laura (Laura00175), Claven Albatro, Baroness Capelo, Virgo Babii (upper row), Jade Phoenix (Jadephoenix Enchantment), Rose (Rose Blackwood), Starbright Wingtips, Della Randt, Claire (maddh4tt3r), Talos (Talosborn), Virgo Babii (lower row)

Saturday, March 20th, I had just a short time with my property Mistress Jenny. We caught up with our news at the annex of our skybox at home. I took Mistress to club Domme a Domme to expose her as mine and we had a nice chat there. As Mistress had RL things to do I took her to our laft afterwards and leashed her there to take advantage of her upon her return.

March 20th: Diomita and Mistress Jenny at home and at club Domme a Domme

We had an intense and varied night. First I took advantage of being in control and fucked Mistress Jenny long and hard at our secret hideaway. And after she had had her orgasm, I cleaned her to get my fix .. and she came a second time.
I had bought a hawk hood for Mistress and she fitted it for me and took it to her inventory. Then we went home and had our regular game of skipee with Flo. Mistress won it this time!
We spent the night with Flo at Psi’s realm and at Carnal Intentions. We chatted and read profiles and just chilled.

March 20th: Diomita and Mistress Jenny at our secret hideaway / at Psi’s realm and at Carnal Intentions with Flo

After Flo had left I took Mistress home and fitted her into her armbinder suit again, this time I added the hawk hood, a ringgag and the Anavision HUD. When Mistress was nicely tied up I took her to club Domme a Domme to expose her – and I enjoyed my control!

Finally, when it was time to go to bed I brought Mistress to Psi’s realm again and leashed her tied up there – on timers. What a great day in control.

Art in Second Life 2021 (30) La Maison d’Aneli April 21

01 Apr 2021 Leave a comment

by diomitamaurer in Uncategorized Tags: , , , , ,

In April La Maison d’Aneli features two artists Xirana Oximoxi aka Nuria Vives and Violaine (Anadonne)

Violaine (anadonne) is in Second Life for 4 years now. Violaine is a RL photographer with many inspirations. She lists “human beings, films, shapes, trash, fashion, colours, black and white, minimalism, maximalism, commercials, graffiti and erotica – and many other things”. Her pictures at La Maison d’Aneli show this broad variety. The abstract pictures look like maps coloured in different tones of one colour. I other pictures you recognize parts of human bodies, other show people. Violaine’s pictures are displayed in groups of two or three pictures which belong together.
I saw Violaine (anadonne)’s art before at La Maisan d’Aneli, in November 2018 (read here) and in January 2020 (read here). The more I see of her art, the more familiar I get with her style and the more her pictures, in particluar those showing humans and part of humans, become intriguing.

Xirana Oximoxi aka Nuria Vives is a Catalan artist, children’s books writer and illustrator. She works with different mediums, oil, watercolor, acrylic, ink, charcoal and pastel. At La Maison d’Aneli she presents her exhibition “The secret of the Crystal Mountain”. The text and illustrations are from Nuria Vives, Aneli Abeyante and Nuria worked both an the setting into the 3D world of Second Life.

I would call “The secret of the Crystal Mountain” a walk-in children’s book. It tells the storry of a hippo family. You walk through several scenes (skyboxes) as you read and see the story. In the accompanying notecard the story is summarized in a few sentences along with direct landmarks to the scene. I recommend to just use the teleprots in the corner of each skybox (next scene).

“The secret of the Crystal Mountain” by Xirana Oximoxi and Aneli Abeyante (1)

Long ago, in a beautiful place in Africa, lived Isantim’s family. It was a family of hippos that spent all day inside the river to rest. It hadn’t rained for a long time and no one knew why. Isantim and his bravest children decided to organize an expedition to find out what was going on. They climbed the highest mountain in the country to talk to the clouds and ask them why it wasn’t raining.

They were about to reach the top when they realized they were walking on a layer of crystal and they saw that in the middle of the heart of the mountain, on a pedestal, was a golden metal cage. Inside there was a small bird. Little goblins that looked like fire surrounded him.

The hippos were going from surprise to surprise without understanding what was it all about. They saw a thin small cloud approaching. When he was closer, they took the opportunity to ask him thousands of questions. After discovering that the prisoner was the Rain Bird, the hippos set off to find an entry into the mountain.

The cave was like a labyrinth full of narrow tunnels. The hippos feared they would get lost in it and never being able to get out again. Luckily some bats that lived in the cave, after they heard that the hippos wanted to free the Bird, showed them the path that would lead them to the center of the mountain. But the bats warned them of the danger in which they will find themselves.

The hippos, who were not afraid, went on until they reached the entrance of the central gallery. Seeing them, the goblins, all at once, threw tongues of fire at them. The gallery looked like a flaming meteorite. Then, with the water they brought to cool off, the hippos all at once sprayed the goblins and left them well soaked and extinguished. Carefully, they took hold of the golden cage and came out of the mountain, guided by the bats.

After struggling a bit with the lock, they managed to open the door and to free the bird. He soared up in the sky making a cheerful whisper and a happy whistle. Soon they lost sight of him. After a while the hippos saw their cloud friend grow and swell like a cotton castle and then it started to rain.

It is not the first time that Xirana Oximoxi aka Nuria Vives is featured at La Maison d’Aneli. I saw her exhibtion “Women Artists XVI-XIX” there in February 2019 (see here) and her exhibtion “Lost Souls” in April 2020 (see here)
Xirana has her an own website and an own blog.

La Maison d’Aneli is owned by Aneli Abeyante. Through her gallery she brings together all forms of creativity in RL and SL and the featured artists come from around the globe. Aneli’s intention is to “put her gallery in the service of artists, so that the world can be better, exchanges and meetings probably contribute even though it seems to be particles.”
Thank you for another great joined exhibtion, Aneli. As always I enjoyed my visit and writing about it. It always inspires me.

Diary 2021 (35) March 17th/18th Back in control

When I came inworld in the afternoon Wednesday, March 17th, our prisoner Kelly (Kellyrose52) was present. I went seeing her .. and decided to take advantage of her. She has free spicy meals and a nice large room with view, she should pay for it *winks* I put a frame into the cell, fixed her on it and fucked her with my strapon. Actually I had in mind to allow her to cum, but Kelly didn’t agree to extend her prison time – bad girl. The punishment was easy for me, I just left her unsatisfied.

Mistress was inworld in the meantime and had joined me. We sat on the bence next to the cell and caught up with our mutual news watching Kelly a bit, then Mistress and I went to club Domme a Domme and later to Carnal Intentions. We enjoyed a nice time together. But the best was yet to come: Mistress allowed me to lick her and to get my fix.

March 17th: Mistress Jenny and Diomita at home with Kelly (Kellyrose52), at Carnal Intentions and at home in our skybox

At night Mistress Jenny was not inworld again and I had another quiet night with Flo. We played 2 rounds of skipee and Flo won one of it.We went to Psi’s realm where I teased one of the showcased “objects”. She was wearing a green harness and green cuffs, a green gag and green shoes because – yes, St. Patrick Day. Once I realized it, I took out my St. Patrick Day hat. I took Flo to Carnal Intentions next and as there was not much going on, we went for some eye candy at club DeLust. It was full and I had fun reading new profiles …. and then it was already … flotime.

Flo left, Faye (Boy Serenity) came and hence I stayed a bit longer at club DeLust.

Thursday, March 18th, Mistress Jenny exchanged my slave collar with the sub collar first thing when we met in the afternoon. Mistress was celebrating her 13th rezzday the next day and I would get a green light for a couple of days. The green started Thursday night .. *yay*
We went to Carnal Intentions to catch up with our news. Annie (TransAnn) joined us there, she was having fun wearing a space suit and walking her robo doggie. We moved on to Puerto Esclava after a while.
Before Mistress and I had to leave and to tend to our RL again we went to DHB and I bought an armbinder outfit for Mistress … something to use during my green light. Then we quickly visited DaD before we really had to leave for that afternoon.

At night Mistress tried on her new armbinder outfit and I tried to get familiar with the menus (not that easy, DHB has weired menus!). Mistress changed and we went seeing Flo and had our regular game of skipee with her. After the game we went to Carnal Intentions and stayed there until flotime. Flo had updatee her Firestorm viewer and the new version finally handles RLV spheres, which are used in many blindfolds. I played a bit with Flo’s restrictions. And Faye joined us as well. We had a relaxed good time at Carnal Intentions.

After Flo had left I took Mistress home to the anney of our skybox, tied her in her new armbinder suit and added a gag. Then I took her to Psi’s realm. At Psi’s realm I first made Mistress coming to me. She was very slow, only able to make tiny steps in her tight dress. And of course the others around noticed her and her misery. Then I tied her up in her new armbinder suit. I leashed and restricted her. It looked really good! I enjoyed pulling everything nicely tight. I left Mistress at Psi’s realm on timers, hence when she found time the next day while I’m not round, she could enjoy her bondage – I ennoyed my control and taking pictures.
