Backflash March 2021 – Jenny’s 10th rezzday anniversay inworld (March 19th, 2018)

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 new 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.
In March 2021 Mistress Jenny celebrated her 13th rezzday. Incredible how time flies and even more incredible that we sticked together al these years. I’m very grateful that we found each other! For this month’s backflash I selected the post for Mistress’ 10th rezzday, just 3 years ago. It also marked the day, Mistress got her mesh head and her current look and style.

It is always fun to read back and to remember, to realize the changes, and to smile!
Enjoy reading…


Diary 2018 (46) March 19th – Jenny’s 10th rezzday anniversay inworld

Jenny celebrated her 10th rezzday anniversary in Second life on Monday, March 19th (read also here). We have a long tradition in our family how to celebrate rezzday anniversaries – with spanks, one spank per year. Jenny got her rezzday spanks from me when we met in the afternoon. And as I’m enjoying a green light she got them in the annex of our skybox, that is dedicated for my green lights.

March 19th: Jenny’s rezzday spanks (1)

At night we first met with Angelique and slave drone Flo II (AnneWanne). Angelique had to leave early due to her RL but there was enough time for her to deliver her 10 spanks on Jenny’s bottom.

We were about to visit a club and to go on a kinkploring tour when our slave slut cecy showed up inworld to our surprise. Hence we changed our plans and went seeing her at Psi’s realm together with slave drone Flo II. There was quite a crowd and we spent an enjoyable hour teasing our slut and watching the crowd. slave drone Flo II contributed two pictures showing her restricted view on the scene.

Jenny and I left slave drone Flo II at home afterwards to get Jenny’s rezzday present. Jenny had mentioned to me that she wanted to try out a mesh head one day.
I myself switch back and forth between my system head and the mesh head. We both got very used to our look with the system head and Jenny wasn’t fully satisfied with my mesh head. In addition it has the downside that the animations of it don’t work with several furniture animations. Nonetheless as the technique Second Life further develops we should develop ourselves as well. Long story made short, Jenny got a mesh haed from me as a rezzday present for her particular anniversary.
She tried it at home and made some quick adjustments, then I put her into her new straightjacket again and exposed her at Domme a Domme. Still I can’t get enough looking at Jenny at my feet, Mine, my very owned mistress. We crowned Jenny’s rezzday celebration inworld with a short visit to club DeLust before we went home to bed.

March 19th – Jenny’s 10th rezzday anniversary in SL: Diomita and her very owned mistress at Domme a Domme (left and middle) / Jenny’s new mesh head (upper right) / Diomita and Jenny cuddling at home before bedtime (lower right)

Jenny told me that she might not aim to get her mesh head as close as possible to her system head. She’s already quite happy how it looks now. She changed her eye colour closer to the colour of before and she might just make some more minor adjustments. And I? I’m happy with her new look as well.

Once again: Happy 10th anniversary, Jenny, my love!

Simploring 2021 (14) Ueno

I came across Ueno when I scrolled through scoop.it SL Destinations looking for a destination for my simploring tour on Sunday, March 14th. What caught my attention was the picture, a field full of sunflowers.

Ueno is a full moderate region, owned by unico Bailey. There’s no landmark description. Ueno is part of 6 connected sim, all built in Japanese style. Maddy Gynoid has written about Ueno back in 2018 and 2019 (see his blogposts in German here and here)

Ueno – overview and orientation map

The highlight of Ueno is clearly the field of sunflowers that covers roughly half of the sim. Sunflowers as far as you can look. That reminded me of other sim whith wheat or corn fields. And of course it is a great motif for photographers. Maddy has some really great pictures of the sunflowers in his two blogposts.

The sunflower field at Ueno

Besides of the sunflower flield Ueno is a Japanese town with a train station, some residential homes and some shops. The sunflowers actually reach out into the town and to the train station. Close the a bridge leading to the neighbourhood sim is also a field of carrots (yet not as impressive as the sunflower field). Right at the end of the sunflower field are large boards for selling huge robot avatars. And there are some more shops at Ueno.
Over the town and the train station levitates a space ship (for what reason ever).

Impressions of Ueno – a Japanese community (1)

The train station itself and the town offers nice backgrounds for making urban pictures. But the huge sunflower field is for sure the outstanding highlight of Ueno. It is always great to see what other create.

Thank you unico Bailey for sharing your place.

Diary 2021 (34) March 15th/16th Two quiet days

Monday, March 15th, Mistress wasn’t inworld during the day. I planned to go on a simploring tour but when I arrived inworld, my blackmailing roleplay continued and I had another intense experience (no details about it here). It’s quite tough and after it I first wasn’t in the mood at all for simploring and had to come down first.
I was inworld again early at night and went simploring. Upon my return Flo was already present, as well as our prisoner Kelly (kellyrose52) and Mistress came also inworld. We visited our prisoner first and she got her dinner, cold left overs from lunch spiced with a bit of my pee *winks. Then Mistress, Flo and I went playing a skipee and Mistress and I used the time while playing to catch up with our mutal news. Oh – and on my way to the games area I got caught by one of the traps I installed myself – I had forgot to set my relay back from auto to ask *laughs*. But it is a nice picture, isn’t it?

March 15th: Mistress Jenny, Diomita and Flo feeding prisoner Kelly / Diomita trapped / Mistress Jenny and Diomita at Carnal Intentions with Flo

We went to Carnal intentions with our latex doll Flo. Ann (TansAnn) came by. She’s always wearing something shiny and interesting and new. That night she was a yellow/black kitty. Nice :-). Faye (Boy Serenity) also came and joined us kneeling by Mistress’ and my feet. We spent the whole night at Carnal Intenions, talking amoung us and participating in main chat, when there was main chat. It was a relaxed night, just what I needed after the intense afternoon.

Tuesday, March 16th, Mistress Jenny and I spent an hour together at club Domme a Domme. We caught up about our mutual news and I shortly knelt at Mistress’ feet. When Faye joined us, Mistress allowed me to stand and Faye knelt at our feet. Mistress had some issues with her Animation and it took her a while to get it sorted. An hour goes by quickly *sighs*.

March 16th: Mistress Jenny and Diomita with Faye at club Domme a Domme

At night Mistress wasn’t present. I played a skipee with Flo, then we went Carnal Intentions first, but as nothing was going on there we went to Psi’s realm. There was a bit more going on and we watched for a while and chatted between us a lot. Psi’s was not that entertaining as it is sometimes. Hence we returned home, played another skipee and were finished just before flotime.

I went roaming a bit, ended at Carnal Intentions where I met Faye again – and went to be quite early.

Art in Second Life 2021 (29) “The beauty of moving water” by Nils Urqhart at Kondor gallery

After my blogpost about “Real Life” by Hermes Kondor at Art Gallery Rill’Arts (read here) had been published I had a conversation with Nils Urquart. Nils and Hermes are friends, both share the passion for Real Life photography and both have their own galleries. And while Hermes Kondor’s photographs are shown at Nils’ gallery – Nils’ photographs are shown in Hermes’ gallery.
This led me to visit “The beauty of moving water” by Nils Urqhart at Kondor gallery.

“The beauty of moving water” by Nils Urqhart at Kondor gallery – exhibition poster and impressions of the gallery

Nils Urqhart’s passion are photographs of nature. He captures the beauty, the colours and the atmosphere of nature. As the title gives away already the photographs at Kondor gallery are all about moving water, about waterfalls and creeks. The photographs are really stunning, the colours are very intense and you can almost smell the surrounding fresh air when you look at them. Moving water is always facinating, yet it is not easy to capture the movement in a still photograph. Nils succeeded in that, at some pictures I can see how the water moves.

“The beauty of moving water” by Nils Urqhart at Kondor gallery – Impressions (1)

Nils Urqhart (Paul Maurice in RL) is a French landscape photographer in RL. He takes his photos mainly in French Alps and other French mountains (Vosges, Jura, Bugey, Aubrac…). Nils has a lot of exhibitions in different SL galleries every year. He is in SL since December 2007 and since 2010, his photos have been on display year-round at Art gallery Rill’Arts. Nils (or Paul in RL) has an own website where you can also purchase his pictures to decorate you RL home.

The gallery space at Kondor gallery fits perfect to showcase the photographs selected for the exhibition “The beauty of moving water” by Nils Urqhart. The quiet dark background make the colours even more intense. Each photograph has enough room develop its impression. I personally think, it is a perfect space to display Nils Urquart’s photographs.

The Kondor gallery is – of course – owned and curated by Hermes Kondor. Thank you Hermes for enabling this beautiful exhibtion. I enjoyed my visit a lot.

Diary 2021 (33) March 13th/14th Our two Latex Dolls

Saturday, March 13th, I met Mistress in the afternoon and we went to club Domme a Domme first where we caught up with our news. Faye (Boy Serenity) was there, but nothing was going on there really. We moved on the Heavy Bondage Club. I saw an interesting profile – Kelly Rose (kellyrose52). Kelly seeks a stay in a cell, secured with a contract and offered a notecard in her profile. I asked her to get it and she sent it to me. Then the Heavy Bondage Club crashed and we found ourselves back home. We went to Carnal Intentions and Faye followed us and knelt at our feet.

March 13th: Mistress Jenny and Diomita at club Domme a Domme, at Heavy Bondage Club, and at home with Faye and our prisoner Kelly Rose (kellyrose52)

I myself continued talking with Kelly. Her notecard was interesting, yet she set way too many limits and I told her my opinion. Kelly conceded that there were too many and she agreed to way less limits and signed a contract to become our prisoner for 10 days. Mistress, Faye and I returned home and we rezzed a cell just opposed to the house. This way our guest will have a tleast a little bit to watch to get entertained. I summoned Kelly to us, locked her collar and cuffs, took the signed contract and asked her to enter the cell – she entered it … for 10 days minimum – until March 23rd.
It was time to tend to our RL again and Mistress and I went off.

Our night became a bit strange – with interruptions, lost connections and failed teleports.
When I came inworld Flo was present and soon after slave Melissa logged in. Flo was playing skipee and went woth slave Melissa to the games area and when we arrived there, Mistress came inworld as well. We, Mistress Jenny, Flo and I played a skipee first with slave Melissa kneeling at our side.
I complained that the house was dirty and Flo seemed to be reluctant to clean is herself. The other slaves and maids and subs who are on her cleaning roster didn’t show up often enough to keep the house clean. Mistress wanted to talk with Flo OOC (out of character). Hence after the game, which was interrupted as I lost my internet connection, I took slave Melissa to Psi’s realm and leashed her there. Then we went to our loft with Flo to talk. Flo doesn’t want a change. Mistress proposed to extend the decay time so that the cleaning hasn’t to be done that often. That was the result we agreed on. We returned home and I changed the settings of all cleaning objects. Then we changed Flo in her new outfit for the next week – the same as slave Melissa – we have two latex dolls now :-).

March 13th: Mistress Jenny and Diomita with Flo at Maurer’s loft and with Flo and slave Melissa at Psi’s realm

We went to Psi’s and spent a short time there with our two dolls, then it was flotime already and as Mistress had an early start the next day we returned home. slave Melissa’s teleport failed… Sometimes it is like this. And that’s it.

Sunday, March 14th, Mistress was not inworld during the day. I took the opportunity for a simploring tour in the afternoon. When I returned from it, Kelly Rose (kellyrose52) was inworld and I visited her and began to form her. I feeded her and had my fun watching her. Then it was time to tend to my RL again.
My night began with a continuation of the blackmailing roleplay. That is a very intense play as I can fully immerse into it – it is exciting on one side and scaring on the other side. Mistress welcomes it as it will make me even more submitting to her (if that is possible – I doubt *winks*). I returned home and after I had recovered went seeing Flo. Flo had worked on her outfit and is now just our sweet Maurer’s Latex Doll Flo.

We had a game of skipee first with Flo, then went to Carnal Intentions where we met Annie and stayed there until Flo had to leave to bed.

March 14th: Diomita and Kelly Rose (kellyrose52) / Diomita and Flo / Mistress Jenny and Diomita at Carnal Intentions with Ann (TansAnn) and Flo

Mistress Jenny and I went to club Domme a Domme for half an hour. We met Argi there shortly. As Mistress had an early start the next day again we went home quite early and off to bed.

Enjoying Bondage March 2021 – Maurer’s at Carnal Intentions

This month’s enjoying bondage series picture is once again a collage of several single pictures. It reflects our activities end of February through the first week of March. The base picture was taken on February 25th at Carnal Intentions, where we often spent our time lately. It shows in the center of the collage our Flo in her Latex Gord Doll suit, Diomita, Mistress Jenny and Faye (Boy Serenity). On the right I added a picture from March 2nd that I took at Mesmerize Dungeon and that shows our slave Melissa in her new armbinder venus coreet and in her Aprhodite hood, Diomita, Mistress Jenny and our Flo in her full chastity belt outfit (Flo has a strong weakness for chastity belts *winks). On the left I added myself kneeling chained to the Park Bitch sign, This picture was taken at club Domme a Domme when I got in trouble there on March 1st. The picture of Angelique was taken on March 6th at Carnal Intentions. And finally I added Lily Bloodrose, who I tied up on March 4th at Carnal Intentions.

Diary 2021 (32) March 11th/12th The giant slurper plant

On Thursday, March 11th, I spent on hour with Mistress Jenny at Carnal Intentions in the afternoon. We both had a chat with another domme, probably someone for taking some time for Mistress and me subbing to someone else. So far all of our attempts to find someone fitting failed more or less, but we also had some nice experiences. And that’s it already about the afternoon, almost at least as Mistress allowed me to lick her before we went off again to tend to our RL.

March 11th: Mistress Jenny and Diomita at Carnal Intentions and with Flo at Psi’s realm

We began our night with a round of skipe with Flo. After the game we went to Psi’s realm, It was full there! And a little bondage show was going on. Hence we had something to look at and the main chat was full of banter. That was fun. Elizabeth (ZephrThorn) was also there and as I wanted her to be safe, I locked her and leashed her for watching the show.

We stayed quite a while at Psi’s realm but after the show was over it became emptier and less fun and I had an invitation from Gravity (theriaeriker) in my messages. It was her 4th rezzday and she was spinning the tunes at Caged Elegance. We went there and took Flo with us for two dances, then she had to leave as it was flotime.

March 11th: Mistress Jenny and Diomita at Psi’s realm with Flo and Elizabeth (ZephrThorn) / dancing at Gravity’s rezz day party

When I came inworld Friday, March 12th, in the afternoon Mistress was wearing a breathtaking stunning outfit – wow. Before we caught up with our news, Mistress took me to the fashion fair where she got her outfit. And she gifted it to me, yet in flesh pink. It looks less dominant in this colour – still a very nice partner look for us.

We made a tour through the clubs visiting Heavy Bondage Club, club Domme a Domme and Carnal Intentions. At Carnal Intentions we met Faye (Boy Serenity), who had just tied up one of her friends. Finally we returned home to our loft skybox and stripped … and Mistress and I had some intimate time together, I got my fix … and more! *winks*

March 12th: Mistress Jenny and Diomita at Heavy Bondage Club, at Carnal Intentions with Faye and at our loft skybox.

Mistress and I had already spoken about the theme for our Friday night party and we picked an early Spring theme “It is Friday, time to start our weekend. And the equinox is getting closer, the days will be longer than the nights finally. Hence dress in white or yellow or white and yellow or come as you are! Virgo is spinning the tunes.
Before we logged off for the afternoon Mistress and I changed and thus were ready for the party later.

Mistress had annouced running late at night and so did Flo … and I ran late as well. When I got inworld Mistress was already at our house, hence I went seeing her. Mistress had panted a new plant … a giant sluper plant .. and she ordered me to smell at it. The result is seen on the pictures – funny! And some fun for visitors *winks*

March 12th: Diomita caught by the giant slurper plant

We had fun at our party. It was a really good night and in the end Virgo and Claire both danced naked. Anotehr great start into the weekend!

Art in Second Life 2021 (28) Theda Tammas – Apsara

On March 6th, A new installation of Theda Tammas was opened at the Womb at DixMix Gallery – Aspara.

I visited on Sunday, March 7th. The Womb is a seperate platform in the skies above the gallery. The teleport is right next to where you land.
Once you’re on the platform you should adjust your viewer settings: graphics to ultra (or to the best your system can handle), enabled advanced lighting, enable sun+moon and projectors. You should also use shared environment (top menu “world” -> “environment”). Then you’re almost set to visit. Almost? Yes, enable music, it adds a lot to your experience of this installation.

Theda Tammas – Apsara @ DixMix Gallery – bird’s eye view

The environment is all in red tones. When you walk behind the wall with the recommended settings you will see the installation. Bascially it is a court surrounded by walls that look a bit like books. At one side is kind of a stage. What you see are dancers. I didn’t count them, I think there’re about 10 dancers. One is performing on the stage and stays there. There are 2 groups with 3 dancers who stay at one spot while dancing. The others move. There is enough motion to keep you busy watching, and enough stability to calm and relax, in particular together with the music: “shamanic drums, deep trance humming meditation, shamanic meditation music for stress relief”

Theda Tammas – Apsara @ DixMix Gallery – Impressions (1)

Apsara? I looked it up on wikipedia:
An apsara is a type of female spirit of the clouds and waters in Hindu and Buddhist culture. Asparas figure prominently in the sculpture, dance, literature and painting of many South Asian and Southeast Asian cultures. There are two types of apsaras: laukika (worldly) and daivika (divine). Urvasi, Menaka, Rambha, Tilottama and Ghritachi are the most famous among them.

Theda Tammas – Apsara @ DixMix Gallery – Impressions (2)

In Indian mythology, apsaras are beautiful, supernatural female beings. They are youthful and elegant, and superb in the art of dancing. They are often wives of the Gandharvas, the court musicians of Indra. They dance to the music made by the Gandharvas, usually in the palaces of the gods, entertain and sometimes seduce gods and men. As ethereal beings who inhabit the skies, and are often depicted taking flight, or at service of a god, they may be compared to angels.” (excerpt from wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apsara)

Theda made a great choreography. I don’t know how the mesh figures are programmed to dance and to move, but it looks naturally and enough randomized to provide the impression of living dancers. You should see it yourself. I found a video on the internet. It has been provided by Violet Boa.

Theda Tammas is in SL for almost 14 years. She has had already some exhibtions of her work. I couldn’t find out a lot more about her. If I interpreted it right, then she’s from Brasil (I might be wrong though). Theda has an own website where you can see a lot of her former installations.

Thank you Dixmix for providing and curating the DixMix Gallery, thank you Megan Prumier for building it and for contributing at it. And thank you Violet Boa for the video, that porvides an even better impression of this installation than any picture can do. I enjoyed my visit.

Diary 2021 (31) March 9th/10th Two quiet days

Mistress and I spent almost two relaxed hours inworld in the afternoon on Tuesday, March 9th. Again we made a tour through the clubs, starting at club Domme a Domme. I had a lot fill in to Mistress Jenny as I stayed up longer the night before and had a continuation of my ongoing blackmailing roleplay. It is an intense experience as I fully immerse into it.
We went to Heavy Bondage Club next, then to Puerto Esclava and finally to Psi’s realm, where we could witness I nice bondage scene conducted by Gwen (dstross) who just got off Faye (Boy Serenity)’s leash. Faye herself came by and joined us and watched Gwen blowing off her frustration with locking up soemone else. To be honest, I am pretty sure, all ot them enjoyed!

March 9th: Mistress Jenny and Diomita at club Domme a Domme, at Heavy Bondage Club, at Puerto Esclava and at Psi’s realm with Fays (Boy Serenity)

After Mistress had left to care about her RL, I once again stayed 30 minutes longer and had once again a short continuation of the roleple. Phewww, it was intense again.
Our night began with a skipee with Flo as it has become almost daily routine. We love this game and it is enjoyable. After the game we spent an hour at Carnal Intentions until flotime. We chatted and read profiles and Flo enjoyed to be in the center of attention for some time. Finally we went to club Domme a Domme for a bit. It was an enjoyable night after the intense roleplay that I had in the later afternoon.

March 9th: Mistress Jenny and Diomita with Flo at home and at Carnal Intentions

Wednesday, March 10th, I met Mistress in the afternoon and we spent our hour together at club Domme a Domme. Anything to report? Yes … Mistress wanted me to feel her control while she allowed me quite some freedomes with several roleplays going on. She set clothing rules for me until further notice … *sighs*. I’m not in the position to question her orders. I did change according to her rules right at club Domme a Domme.
Beside that our time together flew by quickly again.

At night Mistress was running late and I had a game of skipee with Flo first. THen I went to Psi’s realm with her. As nothing was going on there, we moved on to Carnal Intentions. Not that there was more going on but the atmosphere is cosier. And soon it became more crowded and there was main chat … and Elizabeth (ZephyrThorne) was walking back and forth around me until I leashed her to stop it.
Mistress joined us at Carnal Intentions later.

We left the club after Flo as left for bed. Elizabeth stayed there leashed but with a (short) timer. Mistress and I went on another quick tour, visited club Domme a Domme again where it was quiet and went to Puerto Esclava where we met Argi.

Art in Second Life 2021 (27) “I want to show you something” by Venus Adored

On Wednesday, March 3rd, Dido Haas contacted me and told me about the new exhibtion at Nitroglobus Roof Gallery called “I want to show your something” by Venus Adored.

“I want to show you something” was created by Venus Adored, who made projections of the daring, thought provoking RL images by Daantje Bons, a famous Dutch photographer. This way the images, although projected on 2D walls become a 3D effect – light boxes based on RL photography. The boxes are made of light reflections, creating an illusion of depth. It is Mandel Solano also a second life resident, who taught Venus to work with reflections. The effect is even stronger through the mirroring floor of the gallery. Be sure to use either the shared environment of midnight when visiting the exhibtion and enable advanced lighting and projections.

The photographs of Daantje Bons are really quite provocative and in my personal opinion funny. They deal with the female body, with the breasts and the vagina: Flowers held between lips, a chili sliced open, a raspberry on a nipple, an orchid blossom with a tampon. Each photograph and each light box is unique and the add to each other to build a really great exhibtion!
Two quotes of Daantje Bons are highlighted in the exhibition:
“I search what it means to be a woman and how fiminity and masculinity play a role in this”
“It often starts with a feeld or observation. Usually, something that makes me want to challenge it”

“I want to show you something” by Venus Adored @ Nitroglobus Roof Gallery (1)

Venus Adored is in Second Life for almost 12 years. She was a high school teacher of the Dutch language and biology in real life. She recently retired and is now fully enjoying being creative in Second Life. Her greatest passion is making particles with which she occasionally gives shows. Venus regularly works with other creative people to learn from each other and to advance together in the possibilities of making things. I saw her installation “Light Reflections” back in 2017 (read here https://wp.me/psPPu-2jT).

Venus thought that it would be fun to make refections of the RL images of her best friend and art photographer in RL, Daantje Bons. Daantje was enthusiastic about this idea and Dido, curator of Nitroglobis gallery in second life, was enthusiastic as well.
Daantje Bons’ work has been featured in the Netherland’s largest newspapers and magazines such as De Volkskrant, NRC Handelsblad, LINDA Magazine, and &C magazine. Internationally, her work has been published in outlets such as “The Huffington Post”, “IGNANT”, “I-D Magazine”, VOGUE ITALIA, Kurier, FRAME Magazine, and “Refinery29”. You can learn and see more about Daantje Bons at her website.

There’s a video from the opening, that provides more impressions of this great exhibtion here

Nitroglobus Roof Gallery is owned and curated by Dido Haas. Thank you for providing the space for the art and for this outstanding exhibition.
