Diary 2020 (132) Sept 18th/19th In Angelique’s shoes

Friday, September 18th, Mistress and I met in the afternoon. After we had caught up, Mistress granted me another fix. Just good, that Mistress Jenny is addicted to provide her nectar to me as I am to get it *winks*. We spent some time at Heavy Bondage club afterwards and talked with each other while watching the silent “Stand and Model” crowd and reading profiles.

Sept 18th: Mistress Jenny and Ehesklavin Diomita at home

We also talked about the theme for the party at night: “It is now getting colder at night outside… so wear your jackets and come and dance with us – or come just as you are

The party was not that well attended as usual but to balance it out we had some great banter, we had good music and a perfect start into our weekend.

Sept 18th – Friday Night party: Della Randt, Starbright Wingtips, Rachel Bloodrose, Talos (Talosborn), Claire (maddh4tt3r), Diomita, Mistress Jenny, slave Flo (upper row), Diomita, Mistress Jenny, Angelique, slave Flo, Angelique, illa Quan, Baroness Capelo, Virgo Babii (lower row)

Saturday, September 19th, I went on a longer simploring tour in the later morning. Mistress Jenny was not around during the day due to her RL. Hence I used my free time for writing.
When I came inworld at night, Angelique was present. I asked her if she had the time to meet with me and she had. I had prepared an outfit of her for myself, an outfit that Mistress Jenny did like a lot. And I had not only copied the outfit, I also changed my hair and added a make up blush to my face to even more look just like Angelique. The result was impressing!

I made quite a lot of pictures of Angelique and myself. Mistress Jenny did like what she saw when she came inworld almost the same time as slave Flo. We had a game of skipee as teams first and slave Melissa came inworld as well and watched us. When we had finished we went over to Mesmerize Dungeon.

We had fun at Mesmerize Dungeon, at least I had. Several times I caught myself looking out for me as I only saw Angelique, well two Angelique’s. It felt like being in her shoes and it also made we feel submissive. I also had fun playing with the slave’s poses and arranging them for taking pictures.

Mistress Jenny had also her particular fun teasing me. Over my excitement about the double Angelique outfit I had forgot about a new rule that Mistress had enacted a few days before. It’s quite a subtle new rule once again strengthening her position. Of course Mistress had to punish my failure and she enjoyed teasing me with it.
At flotime we went home and said good night to slave Flo and slave Melissa. Angelique had left a bit earlier. Mistress and I retreated to our skybox and Mistress punished me with several slaps on my bum and breasts. I admit that I don’t like it at all giving her any reason to punish me. Even when it doesn’t hurt physically in this virtual world, the act itself makes me squirm.

Mistress had to leave as she had an early start the next day and I also went off to bed myself.

Backflash September 2020 – Diary 2019 (132) September 3rd A bondage night (September 8th, 2019)

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 September 2020 I selected a post from September 3rd, 2019. That was just one year ago. slave Christin and slave Gwendi were both just collared a couple of days. Unfortunately slave Christin has left us in the meanwhile. I had a bondage night with the slaves that night, always something nice to do and to enjoy – and always nice to remember.


Diary 2019 (132) September 3rd A bondage night

Tuesday, September 3rd, I had some time with Mistress Jenny in the afternoon. We caught up and I was allowed to lick Mistress and to get my fix. My addiction to her, to the taste of her juices and to please her is getting stronger and stronger. Knowing that I need it ensures that I won’t forget my position. Afterwards we went seeing slave Gwendi and took her to Mesmerize Dungeon for a bit.

September 3rd: Mistress Jenny and Diomita at home and at Mermerize Dungeon with slave Christin

I had plans for the night. When I returned at night I took slave Gwendi to our Stonehaven patio and leashed her at the wall. Then I began to  arrange a slapping and fucking rack, a bondage rack made of steel and the dual slave post at the patio. I summoned slave Emmi and fixed her on the bondage rack. I tied slave Christin on the slapping and fuck rack. Finally I took slave Gwendi and slave Flo to the dual slave post. I walked around, played with the remote of the slapping and fucking rack, I used a stand with a magic wand to tease slave Emmi and I added a dildo gag to the dual slave post.

September 3rd – a bondage night: slave Christin on the slapping and fucking device / slave Flo and slave Gwendi on the dual slave post and slave Emmi fixed to the bondage rack

It didn’t take long, then slave Christin began to beg for allowance to cum, but I ordered her to wait until slave Gwendi had her orgasm. I continued teasing the slaves until first slave Gwendi and then slave Christin shouted their thank you. What a lovely show entertaining me after all the “work” I had before. I freed slave Christin and slave Gwendi and ordered them to care about slave Flo. I myself tended to slave Emmi, I played with the magic wand and finally finger fucked her. Eventually slave Emmi had an orgasm as well. Just slave Flo was unable to climax, I assume the batteries in her dildo were down … poor slave.

After slave Flo had left to bed, I took the slaves to Mesmerize Dungeon as I wanted to wind down a bit. Unfortunately someone who I had blocked pestered us standing directly in front of me, didn’t move away when I asked her politely and followed us to another spot at Mesmerize Dungeon. Hence we went back home. She followed us even to our home. I had to ban her from there. Well, that’s also Second Life, like in RL there’re a few rude people.

Diary 2020 (131) September 16th/17th Kitty is back

Mistress Jenny and I had another intense afternoon on Wednesday, September 16th. Wll, I can’t speak for Mistress so at least for me it was intense. Mistress started the afternoon with establishing a new regular rule for me. With time I get more and more rules to follow and to think about to please Mistress Jenny.
We went to Heavy Bondage Club where we watched the crowd for a while, then Mistress summoned me to our loft skybox. She sat down in her new chair and began to ask questions making sure that I got deeper in deeper in my submission. I was allowed licking her but while I did, Mistress teased me with more orders and if was hard to focus for me. Mistress seems to enjoy it and in total she added 3 restrictions for the 3 mistakes I made. At least I got my fix 🙂

September 16th: Mistress Jenny and Ehesklavin Diomita at Heavy Bondage Club and at our loft skybox

After Mistress had left to tend to her RL I really needed to blow off some of my supressed domme side. I went home and summoned Angelique to me. I controlled that she was wearing her plastic panties. Angelique had embarrassed me the night before by pointing Mistress Jenny to my outfit and remembering Mistress that she had expressed her desire to see me and Angelique in the very some outfit. It was not that embarrassing and not really bad at all, just banter and fun, but it was the perfect pretext to spank Angelique.

September 16th: Diomita spanking her niece Angelique

I ordered her into the corner of the room where she had to stand facing the corner. I told her off and removed first her skirt ant then her panties. Then I administered a hard spanking with my bare hands. When her bum began to glow I took her over to a chair and layed her over my knee .. and continued spanking. That was really a relief for me (and for Angelique).
Time flies when you’re having fun and I had to tend to my RL.

We had planned to put slave Melissa and slave Flo into the RF sub-suit at night. But first we had a greedy with Angelique, who couldn’t yet sit and knelt next to me at the table *grins*. slave Melissa came inworld right when we had ended the game. She had trouble to find the suit and what she found seemed unaligned, maybe long outdated. We took her to RF but she couldn’t get a redelivery. Finally we gave uo the plan with the RF sub-suit and took her to DHB to look for something different. slave Flo, who had annouced being late, joined us there. Finally we decided toget a straight jacket with leg-binder bag for slave Meli and we went all home where slave Meli got into it. Setting up a slave into something new or anything that wasn’t used for a while can take up some time and in the end it was flotime when slave Melissa was in her new restrictive outfit. slave Flo and Angelique went to bed and Mistress Jenny and I took slave Melissa to Mesmerize Dungeon for 15 minutes to expose her. Then we went home and off to bed.

September 16th: Mistress Jenny, Diomita, Angelique, slave Flo and slave Melissa at Restrained Freedom, at home and at Mesmerize Dungeon

Thursday, September 17th, Mistress and I caught up with our news at home in the afternoon. And Mistress had news to share. She had met Puddle Whore in the morning. Kitty or Puddle Whore hadn’t been online much the last 2 or 3 months due to a busy RL, but she had sent some signs of life inbetween. Puddle Whore’s Mistress Amy (Chastitycontroled) had been caught by her RL as well, hence both weren’t around much the last 2 or 3 months. The day before Mistress and I had contact with Alice (alicestrangelove), the owner of Amy. Alice asked if we would take Kitty back under our wings due to this situation – and Mistress Jenny had agreed. Mistress took Kitty back home that morning. Unfortuantely I had no picture to share. Welcome back home, Kitty!

slave Flo was inworld and we went to see her as she had the assignment to fit her DHB straight jacket. slave Flo and we thought she’d have it already but she hadn’t. slave Flo got it from the marketplace and we helped fitting it. Just the chastity belt was missing when slave Flo crashed and didn’t return. Mistress Jenny and I decided to play a round of Yahtzee before we had to leave to tend to our RL. Ann came by and we talked about Gwendi who we miss for over 3 weeks. We just hope that she’s doing well.

September 17th: Mistress Jenny and Diomita at home / with slave Flo / and with Ann

We had a relaxed night. slave Flo got the chastity belt and I locked it. Now she’s set up just like slave Melissa. We played a skipee as teams – Mistress and Angelique against slave Flo and me. Mistress and Angelique won it by 1 card, it was a tight game. We went to Mesmerize Dungeon afterwards and stayed there almost an hour, reading profiles, chatting with eachother, teasing slave Flo and testing the new straight jacket and enjoying being together. At flotime we all went to bed that night.

Art in Second Life 2020 (61) Silence by Theda Tammas

On September 19th the new DixMix Gallery opened its doors. I reported about it here (Art in Second Life 2020 (57) DixMix Gallery September/October 2020).
On September 26th Theda Tammas newest installation named “Silence” was opened. It is located in a seperate skybox called “Womb” at DixMix Gallery. I visited September 27th.

In order to have the full experience you should accept the windlight change and set advanced lighting and schadows on. The installation consists of several geometric structures that appear in the fog and become more and more visible as you approach them. Figures appear … they climb the structures, they melt into the structures. At one structure you see the figures walking in a long line, about 10 of them (I didn’t count). They walk but don’t get anywhere.

Impressions of “Silence” by Theda Tammas at DixMix Gallery (1)

Another group of 4 figures form a circle and hoover in the air. It is silent, no music, no noise, no sound – just you in the foogy, hazy skybox alone with the walking figures with the geometric forms.

Impressions of “Silence” by Theda Tammas at DixMix Gallery (2)

Theda Tammas is in SL for more than 12 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.

Impressions of “Silence” by Theda Tammas at DixMix Gallery (3)

There is a longer blog about Theda Tammas’ “Silence” on the 99 faces blog (read here). The blog deals with “Silence”, it’s definition, how we miss silence nowadays and then how Theda translated our desire for silence into her isntallation. The post includes a video that might give you another good insight into what to expect at DixMix Gallery

Art in Second Life 2020 (60) The Crystal Dragon by Cat Boucher

On Saturday, August 29th, I had some time at night unexpectedly. I usually don’t go to live performances at night as I’m busy with my SL family. I went to visit HEA-Gallery. Cat Boucher had an installation there at the HEA Performance Platform, which could be reached by a teleporter.

The Crystal Dragon by Cat Boucher – program / I attended Ryo Sogame

At the platform Hannington endowment for the arts & cool cat’s art music circus presented live performances of music artists. And the platform, the event space was designed by Cat Boucher.

Cat arranged a colourful ensemble of objects around the stage, big light objects looking a bit like mushrooms, glowing flower beds, giant ice menhirs and crystals … all in different colours, yet the main colours were greens and blues.
The platform was huge and the event was visited well, there were around 30 people and I knew at least 10 people, artists who’s work artists I had seen before.

Impressions of The Crystal Dragon by Cat Boucher from Saturday, August 29th (1) – upper right is SoJuKaNoU (Ryo Maynard), lower right is Cat Boucher

Cat Boucher is in SL since 2007. Like myself she was immediately fascinated by the creativity I saw here. Cat started to support live musicians and other artists and built a music circus to hold my events/concerts, a circus without animals but with clowns. She learned to build and to create objects in SL.

Impressions of The Crystal Dragon by Cat Boucher from Saturday, August 29th (2)

The event on that Saturday night was to the music of SoJuKaNoU (Ryo Maynard), a mixture of psycadelic and chill out music with some vocals. SoJuKaNoU (Ryo Maynard) is from Japan and a music geek. Listening to the music you can feel his passion.
The whole stage was flooded with different particles, fitting to the music. I took a lot of pictures. These events are noot static and everybody gets different views – and it is gone again. The whole installation is gone again. What remains are memories and the picture and the good feeling watching art provides.

Impressions of The Crystal Dragon by Cat Boucher from Saturday, August 29th (3)

As the event is over and can’t be reproduced, there’s no landmark, where you could go to see the event yourself. There’s just the hint to watch out for events like this for example at HEA-Gallery.

HEA Gallery is owned by Hannington Xeltentat and was built by Tansee, who also runs the gallery. Thank you Hannington for providing the space and thank you Tansee for enabling the live performances on Cat Boucher stage “The Crytal Dragon”. I enjoyed the show.

Diary 2020 (130) Sept 14th/15th Mistress’ new chair

Monday, September 14th, I met with Mistress in the afternoon. After we had caught up with our mutual news I took Mistress to a store to try out a new throne or chair. Mistress had fun trying out the menu and the poses and she made me wear cuffs so that she was in full control. I could make a few pictures but for some poses Mistress was just to quickly changing. I enjoyed the testing a lot myself. I could convince Mistress to get the chair as a present from me.

We went to Heavy Bondage Club next where we stayed about 20 minutes before Mistress took me to our losft skybox. Once again I got my fix by licking Mistress. Mistress makes sure that I fall deeper under her spell. What an exciting afternoon. Thank you, Mistress Jenny.

September 14th: Mistress Jenny and Diomita trying out a new throne with many animations, at Heavy Bondage Club and at our loft skybox

Our night was quiet and relaxed. We spent most of it with Angelique at BDSM Lifestyle Swinger Club, which becomes more and more another S&M (Stand&Model) Club. We moved to mesmerize Dungeon after a while and played a round of Skipee at home. Angelique had to leave for bed and Mistress and I went to Puerto Esclava for half an hour. We had some nice conversations that night, some banter and some funny IMs, nothing serious, just relaxed.

September 14th: Mistress Jenny, Angelique and Diomita at BDSM Lifestyle Swinger Club and at Mesmerize Dungeon

Monday, September 15th, I had an intense afternoon with Mistress Jenny. After we had caught up with our mutal news, Mistress asked me to rezz the new chair that I bought for her the day before. I could notice that Mistress had already become a bit familiar with the menu and the contained animations. She made use of it, first so that I could adore her, then she teased me and played with her fingers in my pussy until I had a huge orgasm and finally Mistress got her service and I got my fix.

September 15th – Mistress’ new chair: Mistress Jenny and Ehesklavin Diomita at home and at Mesemrize Dungeon

We went to our loft skybox where I rezzed another chair for her. Mistress tried to change the textures of all furniture to fit together a bit better. When she was done we went to Mesmerize Dungeon for 15 minutes where I could wind down a bit until Mistress and I had to leave to tend to our RL. A really intense afternoon.

As often after an intense afternoon Mistress and I spent a relaxed night at home with Angelique and slave Flo. We played greedy and skippee. Mistress and Angelique on the team play. After Angelique and slave Flo had left for bed, Mistress Jenny and I spent a few minutes at Puerto Esclava before we went off and to bed ourselves.

Art in Second Life 2020 (59) Third Eye Gallery – Jaz and Lynn

I got an invitation for the opening of a new exhibition at the Third Eye Gallery, featuring “Photos by Lynn” by Lynn (TitanicLynn Ayres) and “Navarasa” by Jaz (Jessamine2108). I went there Sunday, August 30th, the day after the opening.

The exhibition by Lynn is a collection of her captures of her SL exploration. They span across landscapes, architecture, still life, and stunning black and white photographs.

Lynn (TitanicLynn Ayres) started taking photos of Second Life this February. Lynn is fascinated by the colors and landscapes of SL. Most of her pictures are not post processed much, maybe just a few details like the sky. Her photos are about what captures her eye when exploring a sim. They maybe the vast panoramic landscapes or a small bird sitting on a branch. I personally was in particular impressed of the black and white pictures, a technique that I use myself for my pictures every once in a while.
Lynn presents her work also on flickr here.

Impressions of “Photos by Lynn” by Lynn (TitanicLynn Ayres) at Third Eye Gallery

“Navarasa” by Jaz (Jessamine2108) is a visual journey through emotions in Indian dance. Navarasas are the nine flavors described in ancient Indian sanskrit texts in any kind of art, and the emotions they evoke. The photos are exhibited at two levels. The lower level contains a pose from Indian dance embedded in an RL photo that contains the emotion it evokes. The higher level contains a visual that uses the creations from SL to depict that emotion.

Mistero Hifeng, Harry Cover (impossibleisnotfrench), and Eldo (Eldowyn Inshan) created the beautiful and quirky subjects for “Navarasa”. The pose creators Olaenka Chesnokov and Belly Button (barkha131) made the Indian dance poses. The RL photos used for “Navarasa” are stock photos from Pexels.com.

Impressions of “Navarasa” by Jaz (Jessamine2108) at Third Eye Gallery

Jaz has been doing photography in SL since 2018: “Thanks to all the artists and friends who have encouraged and inspired me. Special thanks to Harry Cover (impossibleisnotfrench Resident) for giving me an opportunity and courage to branch out on my own and to be able to collaborate and experiment with mesh with him. A big thanks to Kurk Mumfuzz and Tansee for showing me the magical world of particles and lights.”
I follow Jaz’ art work since 2019 when I saw an exhibtion of her work at Deva Westland’s Galerie Des Beaux-Arts (read here). Jaz is developing her own style and trying out herself and her art. I can sense her passion.

Third Eye is Jaz (jessamine2108)’s home and gallery – a place that is designed to showcase art, particles, inspire stories, and offer a quiet place to relax and rejuvenate. Jaz says: “It is the culmination of my many dreams – to create a place that nurtures and helps the growth of all types of creative endeavors – be it words, pictures, or particles.“

Enjoying Bondage September 2020 – Mistress Jenny tied up

For this month Enjoying Bondage series I wanted to feature pictures of Mistress Jenny in Shibari ropes. During my green light in August I had two longer Shibari-sessions with Mistress and I took some great shots of her in ropes. I like in particular one picture where she’s suspended in ropes in front of the Union Jack.
I embedded this picture (it was taken on August 19th) and a picture I made at home when Mistress Jenny was tied up in a Shibari rack (from August 17th) in the Enjoying Bondage picture for this month, that was taken on August 31st at Mesmerize Dungeon and shows slave Melissa and Angelique on my leash. That fits well as itone highlight of September was the collaring of slave Melissa, another was the time I spent with Angelique. Finally I added slave Flo, who enjoyed wearing an outfit, that Angelique created for herself and shared with slave Flo, who really enjoys wearing it. The picture of slave Flo was taken on September 2nd at Pis’s realm.

Diary 2020 (129) September 11th-13th Mistress Jenny’s time off

Friday, September 11th, I met Angelique at the Dark Butterfly club in the later morning. Not much was going on there and Angelique and I found time to talk for half an hour.

Sept 11th – Diomita and Angelique at Dark Butterfly

Mistress was on her family trip and I went on a longer art tour in the late afternoon. And at night wie had our regular Friday Night party. As we got some nice and warm days again, maybe the last really warm days for this year, I had proposed another beach party: “Summer is not over yet, let us enjoy the probable last warm days at the beach …. come in your bikini, swimsuit or just as you are.”

As every Friday we had fun starting our weekend dancing to good music. To my suprise Mistress Jenny showed up and we could catch up with our mutual news. Mistress had a very slow connection resulting in seeing us all in pieces. But she could listen to the music and she could talk.

Sept 11th – Friday night party: Claire (maddh4tt3r), Della Randt, Starbright Wingtips, Rachel Bloodrose, Talos (Talosborn), Sara (SaraRandall), Agent Etov (velika47), Virgo Babii (upper row), Baroness Capelo, Ann, slave Flo, Angelique, Diomita, Mistress Jenny, Diomita, Angelique, Mistress Jenny and Diomita in puzzle pieces (lower row)

Saturday, September 12th, I was inworld in the afternoon for almost an hour. I met Angelique at the Dark Butterfly club again and we talked. I roamed and visited a few places, but nothing really to report for the blog. Appropos blog – I spent also some time writing.
At night I explored two places that I had found in profiles, both were not very big, just skyboxes owned by dommes. But as both places were open to visitors, I might visit there again during a green light ans surprise Mistress. I also found 2 interesting pieces of furniture that might be nice. I added them to my favourite list.

I returned home and went a bit afk. When I returned Angelique and Flo were inworld. And slave Melissa joined us soon after. Also Ann dropped in. We talked for a while, then I played a greedy with Angelique, slave Flo and slave Melissa before we went to Mesmerize Dungeon. It was not really crowded and most of those present gathered around us. Angelique’s plastic panties were the subject we talked about. Angelique tried to switch the subject to the weather but she failed.

Sept 12th: Diomita at home and at Mesmerize Dungeon with Angelique, slave Flo and slave Melissa

We stayed about an hour at Mesmerize Dungeon, then we went to the BDSM Lifesyle Swingers Club. I tried to make Angelique dance for me but the brat found ways and excuses to avoid it. In the end slave Flo gave me a little show to please me. And that’s it already about a relaxed Saturday night.

Sept 12th: Diomita at BDSM Lifestyle Swingers Club with Angelique, slave Flo and slave Melissa

Sunday, September 13th, I went on a simploring tour in the morning. In the afternoon Mistress was back from her family trip. We had quite some to catch up with RL and SL and we did that at home and at Heavy Bondage Club. Mistress must have missed having me kneel at her feet because she grabbed my leash which is also the order for me to kneel. We spent not that much time at the club. Mistress took me to our loft skybox and I had to lick her and to get my fix. Of course I needed it already badly and at the same time Mistress takes care that I keep addicted.

Sept 13th: Mistress Jenny and Diomita at home and at Heavy Bondage Club

At night Mistress Jenny and I had 2 rounds of greedy with Angelique and slave Flo, then I had to leave for my RL. I returned shortly before midnight and Mistress and I had just some time together to catch up, Mistress had a nice evening and talked with slave Flo, slave Melissa and Angelique. They did enjoy for sure to have Mistress for themselves and that’s good :-). Mistress was tired after her family trip and all the driving, hence we went to bed not to late.

Art in Second Life 2020 (58) Milena Carbone’s art at Noir’Wen City

I got an invitation for a particular exhibition at Noir’Wen City, that opens officially on Wednesday September 23rd – “Plead guilty” by Milena Carbone.

It’s the second time that I came across Milena Carbone (mylena1992) and her art. I saw her exhibition “Agape in Pace” at The Itakos Project and Art Gallery in March 2020 (read here)

For Milena Carbone’s exhibtion “Plead guilty“, that extends all over Noir’Wen City, I got a notecard from Nieu (nieuwenhove) and later also from Violet Boa, which describes perfectly a tour not only of this but also of 3 other exhibitions by Milena. I decided to make writing a bit easier for me and to simply use it for my post along with my pictures and some comments.

“Plead guilty” by Milena Carbone above the streets of Noir’wen City

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”), Milena Carbone includes herself in her artwork. 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.

We arrived at dawn in Noir’Wen City after a quick trip, and we have been immediately fascinated by the density and the harmony of this small regenerated and bustling industrial city of houses and restored buildings in its old factories which do host more than fifty galleries and stores of artists and fetish creators. It is here that Milena has taken over the urban and social space of this small town that has literally become the gallery for her exhibition.

Impressions of “Plead guilty” by Milena Carbone above the streets of Noir’wen City (1)

Going up from the harbor to the central place of Noir’Wen City, the artist has arranged along the streets an impressive gallery of portraits of the inhabitants of this unlikely town who find themselves caught in the act of their desires or dreams. We do not know if each of these portraits overlooking the streets is a wanted poster or the image of their prisoner identity. It is in any case the living beacon of a long apocalyptic poem that we can read as we go along.

Impressions of “Plead guilty” by Milena Carbone above the streets of Noir’wen City (2)

Along your way you find posts with some lines of a poem titled also “Plead guilty”. Above the posts you can click to get to a website from Milena Carbone which offers more background information about the 35 exhibits above the streets and the full poem. Here’s a direct link.

We then visited the church transformed for the exhibition into a place of art where Milena offers us the still unknown “sermon of Mahdi”, the fiction of a new Christ illustrated by paintings inspired by the Renaissance religious art and described in a book readable in SL and exhibited in the church.

Impressions of “The Sermon of Mahdi” by Milena Carbone at Noir’wen City Church

From the church, we reached the castle on the heights of the city, where we had a wonderful lesson about “Nude is Art” with forty original paintings of Milena dedicated to the beauty of the body and its grace, beyond eroticism.

Impressions of “Nude is art” by Milena Carbone at Noir’wen City Castle (1)

We end our visit by stopping at the art center of Noir’Wen to sit for a moment in the center of a virtuous circle of fourteen artworks which illustrate the “nine levels of love” linked with five humanist values. We can then slowly savor the deep pleasures of this new artwork of Milena Carbone, which will require us to plunge back into it to capture all the dimensions and emotions it arouses.

Impressions of “nine levels of love” by Milena Carbone at Noir’wen Art Center

While walking, we could have also seen the galleries of many artists such as Belice Benoir (Ars Amandi), Ambre Singh, Colm Midnight, Al Niekerk, Anaya Oneiro, Jos Loll, Ninatchka, Pask Wasp, KarolinaKatt, BobbiEden, Wyald Woolley … We also noted the presence of a museum of virtual arts with an exhibition on the history of the pink Dildo. But these places will be the occasion of a new visit.

It remains in us the fundamental question that Milena Carbone asks us through this new masterpiece: is it fair to plead guilty?

With the opening of “Plead guilty” by Milena Carbone, also this years Noir’Wen city festival has started. It takes place in Noir’Wen city during 2-3 months at the end of the summer.
The Festival will revolve around an original artwork created especially by a selected artist, integrated into the city, with the possibility of using all possible types of visual arts and whose concept will aim to “give life” to the city, its inhabitants and its creators. And the artist of this year is Milena Carbone. There will be quite some events.

I visited Noir’Wen City the first time in April 2020 (read here). Noir’Wen City is a permanent fetish fair with over 50 inworld stores, it is a place to socialize, it is a place for the the arts with several galleries and lots of art exhibited in the streets. Noir’Wen City is a big city and as such offers a great background for pictures and it offers also rentals (luxurious villas). Thank you to Belice Benoir, to Nieu (NieuwenHove) and to the whole team as well as to Nathalie Monday and to Violet Boa who gave me a bit more information.
