On January 15th I published a post about “American Shot” by Milena Carbone (mylena1992) at Nitroglobus Roof Gallery (read here). The Nitroglobus Roof Gallery is owned and curated by Dido Haas.

What is an American Shot? It is a photograph framed from the character’s mid waist to right above their head. It is characteristic of American movies of the first half of the 20th century, at the dawn of cinema, and of the American empire. The exhibtion “American Shot” deals with the rise and fall of an empire, in particular of the American empire. The title has nothing to do with the pictures itself though, that are “Italian shots”, showing full bodies. That’s the educational part of this blog entry *winks*.

With “American Shot” Milena shows us the decay of the Western Empires in 28 images of which 14 were shown until end of January 2021. Milena has changed the images and now the remaining 14 works are showcased until mid of February. The re-opening party is tomorrow – on Tuesday, February 2nd at 12PM SLT.
Moreover, Milena also made a book of this exhibition in which not only all 28 images are presented but also the story she wrote ‘Greatness again and Decadence’. You will find the the book on the table at the Nitroglobus Roof Gallery and can purchase it.

“American Shot” by Milena Carbone – Part II (1)

The 2nd 14 pictures shown right now are also quite large and show people representative for their group, way of life or attitudes, like the one that was selected for the exhibition’s poster – Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Supreme Court’s feminist icon. This picture is named “Humanism is a dissent”. With the floor mirroring the pictures they all become quite expressive. And along with a few thoughts and texts they invite the visitor to spin stories, to connect them with the rise and fall of the American empire, to connect them with the texts.

In the accompanying notecard Milena writes about “American Shot”:
“Even before the emergence of civilizations, human beings devoted part of their lives to representing faces. Animals, gods, chiefs, parents. They drew on rocks, they carved masks and statues in pieces of wood, clay or stones. The art of portraiture is found in every work of art. Each era carries its style and its faces. It is accepted today that the portrait is the representation of the absent. Absent God. Absent Master. Absent wife. Father absent. Unknown soldier. Lost friend. Jesus on the cross. Regretted Mary.“

Milena Carbone (mylena1992) is a French artist and is in Second Life since mid 2019. She discovered its artistic potential and since then has devoted all her free time to creation, associating, as in real life, images and texts. By accepting the rule of the “double” (the real “I” and the virtual “I”), she includes herself in her artwork: “Milena Carbone is a fiction in which, as in any artistic work, biographical and imaginary elements are mixed.” Her creative process is iterative: some of her images inspire her stories and these stories modify the development of the image, which itself transforms the story.

Dido Haas wrote a comprehensive article about “American Shot” in her blog “Exploring SL with Dido“. It includes more information and a video of the exhibtion, that was made by Milena herself.
Thank you Dido for providing the Nitroglobus Roof Gallery and for featuring the two parts of “American Shot” by Milena Carbone. I enjoyed my visit of part 2 as much as I enjoyed the first part.

Art in Second Life 2021 (10) “Waves of Silence” by Etamae

01 Feb 2021 1 Comment

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

Last year I had quite some blogposta about Etamae and her art. I visited her Eta’s Feed Your Fetish Gallery (see my blogpost here) and her Extempore Gallery and Lounge (read here). I saw her contribution to the joined exhibtion of Apirl 2020 at La Maison d’Aneli (read here). I saw her “little boxes” at Hannington Art Foundation (read here) and her “Memories of a Foreign Reality” at Itakos Project Art Gallery (read here).

Etamae is in Second Life for almost 5 years. She’s from the UK and began transforming her pictures from the things she has seen and loved in Second Life into something else, in digital art in 2018. Etamae is not defined by just one style or area of art, she plays with different patterns and tries herself out in a broader spectrum of art. And so also the current exhibtion at the DixMix Gallery proves her attitude to always try out different forms of art.

The exhibition “Waves of Silence” is located in the room Abby at DixMix Gallery. It consists of 9 partly quite large pictures. The walls of the room and the floor is kept in grey tones. At the walls you see some shadows of people and objects. The background fits well and is used to contribute to the pictures. The largest picture named “peek”, that you see in front of you when you enter the room consists of two halfs, in the center of the combined pictures is something that looks like a boxing ring, each half shows the silhouette of a person (a boxer?). In fact the left and the right part are just mirrored pictures that were coloured differently. If you step back far enough and look at the picture the shadows on the wall behind add to the picture so that you can recognize a face.
Etamae also played with mirrors in her picture “reflective”, also colouring both (mirrored) halfs differently.

“Waves of Silence” by Etamae at DixMix Gallery (1) – away (upper left) / reflective (upper right) / peek (lower picture)

Etamae’s picture “Waves of Silence”, gave her exhibtion at DixMix Gallery it’s name. In this picture Etame uses several layers (I think just two, but mabye three), that are zoomed in and zoomed out slowly. This way she creates the illusion of waves, colourful waves. It is quite calming to look at it and to watch the slow change of the picture.
In the picture next to it, named “peace”, she uses another and much more visible effect of changing it permanently. The picture has two layers that are permantenly moving against eachother (one to the left side, one the right side). It is one on the same picture, black and white, and shows a face. The upper picture is transparent. There is a moment when both pictures fit exactly, then you see one picture only. But mostly you see the face changing, you see at least 2 faces … or even none. And the changes are quite quick.

“Waves of Silence” by Etamae at DixMix Gallery (2) – Waves of Silence (left side) / peace (right side)

The third technique Etamae is playing with in her exhibtion at DixMix Gallery is a moving a thin layer of grey or fog over her pictures. In her picture “rapture” this makes the background changing just a tiny bit. You do not notice it at the first glance that the picture is animated. In her picture “sleep”, the effect is stronger and quite visible as two second layers (the fog) are moved over the picture against eachother and thus the picture gets partly darkened, but the dark parts move.

Etamae showed again her ability to play with different techniques. I enjoyed my visit a lot. Her artwork is intriguing. Thank you Etamae!
Thank you Dixmix for providing and curating the DixMix Gallery, thank you Megan for building it and for contributing at it.
The exhibition “Waves of Silence” by Etamae will stay open until February, 19th.

Backflash January 2021 – Enjoying bondage January 2016: Night of the Living Latex Dolls (Jan 27th – 30th, 2016)

31 Jan 2021 Leave a comment

by diomitamaurer in Backflash of the month Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

In the “Backflash” series I select an old entry once a month and present it here. This way I force myself to browse in the archive and to fresh up a few of the many memories. For our readers the 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.
For January 2021 I selected 4 connected and consecutive posts, that end with the Enjoying Bondage series picture of Januar 2016. OMG – aready 5 years (!). The 4 posts were published January 27th – 30th, 2016. What a great memory – Enjoy!

Enjoying bondage January 2016: Night of the Living Latex Dolls (II) – Part 1

I planned another “Enjoying bondage night” for January. This time I wanted all 6 living latex dolls nicely lined up tied at Sarah’s patio. But it will be more or less impossible to get them all together on one single night. So my goal is to create a collage from 2 or three single nights. Last night was the first shot. slave Flo and slave Nina were online. I brought both to the patio and tied them up there.  And of course it was fun tieing up the dolls and teasing them.

After taking the first pictures I decided to reward the dolls and to relax myself while watching them. I unchained slave Flo and removed her pacifier. Then I opened not only the shield of slave Nina’s chastity belt but also the small zipper in her crotch thus exposing her pussy. While slave Flo spoiled her sister with her tongue I enjoyed the moans of slave Nina. slave Flo was in a quite bratty mood (well, she’s an Euro Brat after all!) and teased her sister very enduring, stopping inbetween and provoking her sister to beg for more.

While slave Flo was busy with slave Nina, slave L also showed up and I used the opportunity to take some pictures of her as well. slave L wears no single latex tail (yet) and no chastity belt (yet).

Now I have already 3 of the 6 living latex dolls for my collage. I look forward taking pictures of the remaining dolls.

slave L is a regular “guest-slave”, hence she’s not locked as a living latex doll as our slaves are. Last night slave L came for a visit in a black latex suit. I took her and slave Flo to Ropers, where slave L could enjoy the tongue’s. And she did enjoy it – at least she had quite some orgasms before I released her and slave Flo did just watch this time.

Being a good slave, slave L thanked me accordingly for her treatment….

Back to the project getting all 6 living latex dolls into one picture for the enjoying bondage series. sklavin Gebby was online last night and I took her to Sarah’s patio taking a picture of the next (the 4th) living latex doll, four done – two to go. We will see if I get it done by the end of january.

After some shopping, which is always fun, last night I got even closer to the goal having all 6 living latex dolls on one picture.  slave cecy and sklavin Gebby were online and thus I got the picture of living latex doll number 5. I tied both up at Sarah’s patio and after taking the pictures I had fun teasing the slaves. So after all, it was a relaxing quiet night.

Last night we had our regular party at our homesim Mount Everest. It was relaxing and fun. We really enjoy to begin our weekends winding down dancing and chatting. We also had our living latex dolls slave Flo and slave Nina with us and we allowed them to dance and to share the fun. slave Flo wore sun glasses which look really cool in combination with the yellow latex suit.

I also found time to finish the picture of all living latex dolls lined up tied at Sarah’s patio. The enjoying bondage night of the living latex dolls. The last three entries were sort of a “making of” of this picture. I had 5 of the 6 living latex dolls tied up there. I just missed slave Mii, so I took another picture of her to have them all together in one picture. Here it is … taadaa!

Diary 2021 (7) January 14th/15th The Dairy K Ranch

30 Jan 2021 Leave a comment

Thursday afternoon, January 14th, I met with Mistress Jenny in the afternoon. She told me that she had been online in the morning and had met Dana (Dana Drezelan), a former slave of us. Our Kitty meets her every once in a while. Dana usually explores the kinikiest corners and plays in Second Life. Right now she’s – once again – a hucow at Dairy K Ranch. Mistress met Kitty and 971DA (Dana) at the ranch, yet she made no picture unfortunately. But she gave me a transcript of the main chat and that is already giving some insight as well as it is funny….

Kitty: oh now, this is funny!
Kitty: so, 971DA….: how did you end up like this?
971DA: wandered into this place
Kitty: and how did you grow like this?
971DA: They force feed and force hypno
Kitty: Did it take along time to gain all that weight?
971DA: Two weeks
Kitty: and why are you shaved bald? Do cows no longer have hair?
971DA: it started this way
Kitty: is that a special treatment, just for you?
971DA: *giggles* Farmer says soon it will grow back
Kitty: but yeah.. most of all, you got big. Very big…! How does that feel?
971DA: humiliating, I love it!
Kitty: Kitty will be back – don’t go anywhere
971DA: I can’t
Kitty giggles and would love to feed the cow some cake and cookies but since she’s afk, Kitty picks up the platter and starts eating them by herself. They are so yummy!
971DA:: Careful you could end up like me

Mistress Jenny and I went visiting the dairy and it’s quite a weired place! It’s not at all my kink, but it is interesting to see and if people have fun … why not! There’s almost all you’d expect at this farm, and everywhere you can eat something (virtually of course). They love big and fat people and cows there *winks*. I saw 971DA on Saturday, January 16th, in the morning. She was with kitty. Here’s a picture of the cow.

January 16th/18th: 971DA (Dana Drezelan) the hucow

Mistress and I went to another place, a dungeon. Mistress had got this LM unsolicitated. The place was not our cup of tea though. We went to club Domme a Domme for a bit next and slave Lucy (MissLucyWales) joined us there for about half an hour. Then it was time already to retreat – and I got my no needed regular fix. Thank you Mistress Jenny.

When I came inworld quite early at night, slave toy was already present. I went on a short gallery tour first nonetheless. Upon my return Flo was also present and I went to the house and checked the cleaning. Flo confirmed that almost all is clean and suspected that Lucy (MissLucyWales) had done the cleaning – Flo was right. She showed me the cleaning schedule that she had developed and Lucy has to be added. Ebony came by and did soem final cleaning and teased Flo. I had slave toy at my meash in the meanwhile. Then Mistress and also Lucy joined us, Ebony left again though. We went to our own club for a change and Flo danced for us, brought me a glass of wide, and Lucy cleaned Mistress boots. slave toy decorated me. After a while Lucy had to log off for a bit and as I had finished my wine we went playing a round of greedy. As predicted while we played Lucy returned and also slave Melissa came inworld. It is sometimes funny how you can predict things happen in Second Life. Flo left early after the greedy and we went to Psi’s with Lucy, slave Melissa and slave toy.

It became a playful night, almost a bondage night. We teased the slaves and later Faye joined us. Faye was in the mood to join the bondage and it didn’t take too much teasing to get her into a latex catsuit and cuffs. All slaves including Faye were wearing the Anavision HUD – so we had the motto once again: “All eyes on Diomita!” I had a busy but enjoyable night with slave Melissa, slave toy and Faye. Mistress Jenny was teasing slave Lucy.

It was already after midnight and Lucy had left us when we finally returned home and said good night to slave Melissa. We stored slave toy at the beach disco, ready for our Friday night … we also released Fay from her restrictions but kept her locked *winks*. A full night :-).

Friday afternoon, January 15th, I ran late for my appointment with Mistress Jenny. She was at Carnal Intentions. Faye and a frined of her – Cupcake (Dragony Darkfury), Faye called her Kitty – were next to Mistress. As Faye’s Anavision HUD was still locked by me and set to look at me, Faye had her eyes immediately at me :-).
I caught up with Mistress about her and my news and then I tended to Faye. She knelt in front of us and we talked as well as I teased her. Her cuffs were also still locked from the night before and I didn’t unlock them. Shortly before we left a main chat developed about Faye, as another guest was surprised seeing her kneeling. It was not meant offending and we talked about switches, switiching and D/s relations – finally some main chat. Mistress and I also talked about our party at night. We had already fixed the theme: uniforms. Flo has proposed it, but we hadn’t yet decided how we connect the theme with our party. Mistress came up with a nice idea: “Working from home we don’t get to dress up for work so wear your Uniform or work wear and help us celebrate Lockdown Friday … or come as you are of course. DJ Virgo is spinning the tunes”.

We returned home, changed and went off for dinner.
And at night we had our regular Friday night party. That is always a highlight of the week and a great start into the weekend. We had fun and succeeded once again to get our dj Virgo topless!

Art in Second Life (9) Planet by Cica Ghost

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

On Tuesday, January 26th, I got a message from Cica Ghost. She had just opened her newest installation “Planet“- I went there the next day and as always I enjoyed my visit to Cica’s installations

Planet is a strange and weired world of itself. Planet has pink, violet and blue ground textures, the sky has also a touch of violet. Flying saucers, UFO’s, fly above in the sky. Cica’s tip jar is also a UFO. I zoomed out for an overview. You can see another planet (the earth?) on the horizont. What I noticed first were the bizarre structures with holes, some looking like trunks, others like skulls.

Impressions of Planet by Cica Ghost (1) – Bird yes view, Cica’s TipJar

Looking around I noticed that some holes are filled with eyes that look around on what is going on, some of the structures move a bit, they can’t move a lot though as they are connected with the ground. There are objects with one, two and three eyes. Quite close to the landing is a colourful structure, kind of a large worm with one eye and 3 objects with 2 eyes, which reminded me a bit of polyps. On the ground are several fields with flower like objects. I first thought it were mushrooms, but now I think they look at bit like jellyfishes. From these fields and from nowhere particles rise and vanish, The particles look like little ufos, others like matchstickmen and others like viruses. So much to discover!

Impressions of Planet by Cica Ghost (2) – Eyes are watching you

The thought Cica provides with Planet is: “What if I’m a princess on another planet? And no one on this planet knows it?” (Candace Bushnell)
The princess lives in her own little world on Planet. In the center is a glass dome with a large rolling shutter gate. Inside lives the princess with her cow, the laundry is drying on a washing line, many flowers and gras provide an earth like environment. Also inside is the princess’ house, decorated with pictures of other Cica-creatures.

Impressions of Planet by Cica Ghost (3) – Princess’ glass dome

You can use some of the flying saucers to fly yourself. Just hoover with your mouse over them and if you can sit … et voila. The UFO flies you around and you can watch out trying to differentiate between rock and living creature – and enjoy. There’s also a rocket, mabye the rocket the princess onced arrived with. You can sit in the capsule and look out.

Impressions of Planet by Cica Ghost (4) – Flying with the UFO, the rocket and other creatures

What else? There’s a free space ship that Cica gifts to us. I tried it, it is funny to fly around with it. And you might wonder, where is the cat? It is in the glass dome, not that hard to find this time. *winks*

Impressions of Planet by Cica Ghost (5) – The Space ship gift, the cat and a few more impressions

Planet by Cica Ghost is as all of her installations first and foremost fun. Her funny creatures and her fine irony always make me smile. Although there are quite some strong pictures that refer to all of our lifes at the moment. The glass dome with it’s little perfect world inside, safe and sound. The virus like creatures waiting ouside, the big monster virus with one central eye which shows up at the coast, the particles that look like viruses, the immobility of Cica’s creatures, the empty holes, where once might have been eyes ….
Well you might (and should) have another and happier message – just smile looking at Cica’s creatures and creations.

P.S.: I saw other blog entries about Planet by Cica Ghost and noticed that for some reason I had not the environment setting that Cica had intended for her installation (I thought I had set it to region default but I had not). Her sky looks like in the poster, the first picture in this entry. Anyway, my pictures are even more particular now *winks*

Thank you Cica for another great installation.
Have fun! As always, we don’t know how long Planet by Cica Ghost might stay open.

Enjoying Bondage January 2021 at Psi’s realm – all eyes on Diomita

This month’s Enjoying Bondage picture is not a collage as most of them. It is an original picture taken at Psi’s realm on January 10th. Mistress and I were there with Flo, slave Melissa our new slave toy (brie4675) and Irene (AdlerIrene). All three were wearing the AnaVision HUD and I forced them to permanently look at me. That can be quite funny when you move and see how they turn to keep their focus on you. After a while of playing I decided to take the slaves over to the WoS (Wall of Shame) and to arrange them there decoratively. I’m quite content with the result. What a lovely memory of an enjoyable night.

Diary 2021 (6) January 12th/13th Two days with the slaves

Tuesday, January 12th, Mistress and I met in the afternoon and went to Heavy Bondage Club and summoned Lucy (MissLucyWales) and Irene (AdlerIrene) to us. Both are getting closer to us and while Mistress cared about Lucy, I cared about Irene. We teased them and tried to get better known to them, their kinks, desires and expectations. Before Mistress Jenny had to leave to tend to her RL, we returned home to our skybox and Mistress allowed me to lick her and to get my fix. I just needed it *winks*.

January 12th: Mistress Jenny and Diomita at Heavy Bondage Club with Lucy (MissLucyWales) and Irene (AdlerIrene) / and at home

Our night started slowly and became busy for me at least. Like the neights before we started with playing a skipee with Flo. While we played slave Melissa and slave toy came inworld. I had a nice chat with slave Melissa during the play. She seeded some wicked ideas in me, she’s a little bondage doll *winks*. Her corset was at stage 3 that night, one more stage to go, then she’s ready for me to take full advantage of her corset.
I had in mind changing slave toy that night and I began it while playing skipee. When we ended our game we noticed that slave toy’s collar wasn’t working anymore – and we didn’t get it working for the rest of the night. We went to the house and slave toy was allowed to pick something from her large wardrobe of toys and gear, she selected a hood and a corset from NGW and the DHB armbinder, all worn over a black latex catsuit. It took a while to get all keys and to sort out ownership. When she was doen we went to Mesmerize Dungeon. I stayed busy with slave toy, still trying to sort the collar issue – in vain. First Flo had to leave for bed at her usual time, then later slave Melissa had to leave for bed. We brought her home and went to club Domme a Domme for a few minutes where I could wind down a bit. It had been a busy night for me – as it is always when something doesn’t work as planned.

Wednesday, January 13th, Mistress Jenny and I had the afternoon just for us. We went to Puerto Esclava first and caught up with our news, then we went to club de Delust where we haven’t been together for quite a while and finally we spent a few minutes at Dark Butterfly. Mistress Jenny hadn’t been there before and she like that there are enough chairs to sit down and that the audience is a bit different to the one we see at out usual clubs. Hence I expect we might go there more often.

Our night didn’t start with a skipee. Flo and slave Melissa were present and we had a round of greedy with them instead. slave toy came inworld while we played and we took the slaves to Psi’s realm where we spent the night. I rezzed a dildp cushion for slave Melissa so that she could entertain us. We teased her as she had talk that often and that much about dollification, that it has to be a deep desiere of hers. Mistress and I already decided for an outfit.

Irene joined us later and as a few days before all eyes were on me …. slave Melissa’s, slave toy’s and Irene’s. After a while I asked FLo to offer Mistress a seat and of course she did. And when Flo had to leave Irene stepped in for her. I had quite some Iprivate chats again and Argi had openened a group chat. we told her to join us and she did and was with us until it was time for slave Melissa and Irene to go to bed – and it was time for us as well.

I got an invitation from Violet Boa to attend the opening of the new “Art Galerie HaXue” at Noir’Wen City on January 10th. I visited the gallery before the opening on January 9th.

Art Galerie HaXue is owned by the two artists Puce (titput) and Cayenne (Bebop Xue). During my visit Nieu (NieuwenHove) was present as he was preparing the stage for the opening party. He gave me some background information about the two artists:
“Puce and Cayenne… Two young artists working together, complementing and multiplying each other, each one of them offering us a magical and teeming world where dreams simply become real, without any other form of question or word…..
They make a playful art, out of the ordinary, open, varied, where the extraordinary simply becomes obvious. Puce and Cayenne make us travelling in a lively universe where they explore and defy without emphasis the laws of logic. They also allow us to find in us a part of childhood with adult eyes.“

Both artists were not new to me. I came across Puce (titput) in September 2020 at La Maison d’Aneli (read here). Puce is in Second Life for more than 4 years. She was curious and began building, shaped prims and began building her own world.
And from the latest exhibition at La Maison d’Aneli in November 2020 I know Cayenne (Bebop Xue), a French artist, who is in Second Life for over 12 years (read here)

It is no surprise that you can recognise the art of Puce and Cayenne at their gallery immediately when you you saw their work before. Right behind the entrance on the left side is a quite large exhibit from Puce, playing with light and shadows, with scupltures of humans transparent pictures on the walls.

The art of Cayenne is also coined by the play with forms and lights. There are two pictures at the gallery where she place a 3D object in front of the picture so that it literally connects with the picture. In one work it is a sphere, in another work it is two heads looking at each other. Depending on your viewing angle you get diffeernt impressions.
The constant change is also expressed by a couple of pictures that rotate so that you’re forced to focus to see the picture itself. In another picture Cayenne has brought the texture on an half shell and added light effects – and again you have to focus to see the picture itself. A few of Cayenne’s pictures are originally taken from an installation of Cica Ghost. Cayenne enhanced and processed them but Cica’s art is still recognizable behind the pictures.

At the back wall of the Art Galerie HaXue you find a door leading to the “Dream Factory”. This part of the exhibtion reminded me of Puce’s installation at La Masion d’Aneli. I wrote: “a world using chess patterns, transparency, lights and shadows to compose a piece of art that you can walk through. Most elements are animated, so the installation changes permanently and I for my part had dificulties where to look at first.” That fits to the Dream Factory as well, at least with regard to the chess patterns and the chess figures. I also recognized the maid dresses that levitate in the room. But still, it is not the same piece of art. And there’s a second different room which walls, floor and ceiling are covered with pictures and patterns in warm tones. In the room live a few crows.

As the Art Galerie HaXue is Cayenne (Bebop Xue)’s and Puce (titput)’s personal art space we can expect to see their newest art projects presented there. I enjoyed my first visit.
Thank you Nieu (NieuwenHove) for the provided information. I could sense how excited you were about the new gallery and the artists. Many thanks also to Violet Boa for her promotion and press work.

Diary 2021 (5) January 10th/11th – The sub collar

Sunday, January 10th, I met with Mistress in the afternoon for about an hour. We went to Psi’s realm where we caught up with our mutual news. Lucy (MissLucyWales) joined us there and knelt leashed and locked at Mistress feet. We had also Irene (AdlerIrene) with us and I had a longer chat with her, took control of her AnaVision HUD and played with her showing her how powerful this HUD is… Irene might get closer.

We started our night like most nights lately, playing skipee with Flo. While we played slave Melissa came inworld and I had a private chat with Irene. We went to Pis’s realm after Mistress Jenny had defeated Flo and me badly with the cards. Irene joined us there and she was wearing a full vixen cuff set and the deluxe gag as we had agreed on in private chat before. I took full control of Irene. slave toy came inworld and I summoned her to us. Thus I had three slaves at my leash: slave Melissa, slave toy and Irene. Mistress Jenny and Flo watched me. And the slaves had their eyes on me only – forced by the AnaVision HUD. I took the opportunity for a short spontaneous bondage night and arranged the 3 slaves at the WoS (Wall of Shame) at Psi’s realm. That took a while but it was worth the effort and fun.

Time flies when you’re having fun. First Flo left at her usual time, then slave Melissa had to leave for bed, hence we returned home and said good night to slave Melissa. Irene watched us bring slave toy to bed and then Mistress and I retreated ourselves.

When I met with Mistress Jenny Monday afternoon, January 11th, she had a real surprise for me on stock. After I welcomed her appropriately she allowed me to stand, unlocked my slave collar and replaced it with my sub collar. I had expected a lot but not this! I don’t know anymore for how long I was wearing the slave collar, it became normal for me. Getting now the sub collar, and be it only a few days, feels strange but good and conjured a big smile in my face. Thank you, Mistress Jenny!
We went to eavy Bondage Club and Mistress summoned Lucy (MissLucyWales) to us. I had a private chat with Irene (AdlerIrene) and summoned her to us. We four spent about an hour at the club, just talking and watching the silent crowd.

After Mistress had to leave to tend to her RL I went to our house with Irene and had her at my feet. Irene was quite excited and soon later she entertained me riding a dildo cushion for me, good girl.

Our night began with a game of skipee with Flo again. As we came closer to the end of the game Lucy (MissLucyWales), Irene (AdlerIrene) and slave toy came inworld and to us one after the other. We went to club Domme a Domme that night, party because it was quite full, party because we haven’t been there with the slaves for a while. It became a nice and enjoyable night. Mistress tended to Lucy, I tended to Irene, Flo made her priceless remarks, and slave toy knelt obediently by my feet. We had quite some IMS and had literally our hands full. Faye came by but we both, Mistress and I, weren’t able to tend to her really and she left again.

It was already way after midnight when we returned home and to bed.

Art in Second Life 2021 (7) Bermuda Locket

I came across “Bermuda Locket” when I scrolled trough scoop.it SL Destinations . The entry led to a blogpost from Maddy Gynoid “Simtipp: Bermuda Locket“. Actually Bermuda Locket is the newest installation of Lex Machine (Archetype11 Nova).
Archetype11 Nova was formerly known as Schmexysbuddy Resident and created the Hotel California sims, which I visited in 2019 (read here and here). I saw Lex Machine’s installation “Isolation’s Passengers” last year (read here).

Bermuda Locket is a collaborative build of Lex Machine (Archetype11 Nova), Anastasia Falcor (Anastasia Nova), Mr. X Zenovka (Marcomr2 Zenovka) and Sheraton Falcor (Sheraton Voom). In the landmark description Lex writes: “As you enter into my curse, our dreams reverse and the demons burst…“

Bermuda Locket – overview and orientation map

Bermuda Locket consists of two islands. On one hand it is a lovely beach themed sim with two residentials houses, a beach hut, a boat house, two motor yachts and a sport boat and places to wind down and dream. On the other hand it is a collection of 3D-art, the visualisation of dreams, of temporary thoughts, be it nightmare or beauty or surreal.

Impressions of Bermuda Locket (1) – around the landing point

The presented art is quite dominating as most of the objects are very large. The landing is opposed to a broken lighthouse (which I came across already a few times in different sims) by the feet of a large laying female sculpture. You see two other oversized female sculptures kneeling and sitting nearby and strange fishes fly over your head. A surreal scenery. The fishes were created by aki69, most of the oversized sculptures at Bermuda Locket are from wassaabii.

When you look around you see many oversized sculptures. There are 2 beach houses, a traditional on one island and a modern beach house with boat house and beach hut on the other island. I first visited the traditional beach house. On my way to it I encountered an armada of “Wasp Angels” created by Bryn Oh. Close to the house is an intriguing sculpture created by CioTToLiNa Xue surrounded by flying shadowy females. At the beach are several cars sticked with their front into the sand. The cars are the work of Rena (guraa). And finally the ensemble of surreal art is completed by sculptures of Rebeca Bashly.

Impressions of Bermuda Locket (2) – around the traditional beach house: Bryn Oh’s Wasp Angels / CioTToLiNa Xue sculpture / wassaabii’s and Rebeca Bashly’s sculptures and Rena (guraa)’s cars

The tradiditional beach house is furnished quite with style and with love for the detail – and nothing reminds of the surreal world which is outside.

Impressions of Bermuda Locket (3) – in and outside of the tradional beach house / Rena (guraa)’s cars

The beach house on the second island is modern. Together with the boat house, the beach hut, and the 2 big motoryachts it radiates luxury. The furniture inside is similar to the furniture in the traditional house, again very stylish! I sat down outside on a swing and enjoyed the surreal scenery.

Impressions of Bermuda Locket (4) – in and outside of the modern beach house

In the corner of the second island you see a couple of horses (also created by wassaabii). On the beach lies anothter oversized female. Closeby I noticed a raft and sat down for a break.

Impressions of Bermuda Locket (5) – wassaabii’s sculptures, the raft, the beach hut and wassaabii’s horses

Bermuda Locket is an outstanding art sim. I rarely saw that many oversized sculptures and it is strange to see how they dominate the scenery. The mind (at least mine) isn’t able to differentiate between the lovely beach islands and the oversized surreal 3D art. Again Lex Machine created an outstanding composition of art and the featured homes of MZ Creations by Mr. X Zenovka (Marcomr2 Zenovka). And because of the dominance of art I categorized my visit under “Art” rather than under “Simploring”.

Thank you Lex Machine (Archetype11 Nova), Anastasia Falcor (Anastasia Nova), Mr. X Zenovka (Marcomr2 Zenovka) and Sheraton Falcor (Sheraton Voom). I enjoyed my art-simploring-tour.
