Yesterday, I had my 12th anniversary of joining Second Life.
It has become a tradition for me to write a longer blog post on the occasion of my rezzdays, to have a look back on the last year and to realize the changes in my Second Life as well as the things that didn’t change. Yesterday, I published Part I of my anniversary entry and talked about my closer family and the changes in my family. Today’s part II is about the simploring tours I made in my 12th year.

12 years in Second Life – part II: My simploring tours

Let me start with my simploring tours about art in Second Life. I admire the creativity of artists in this virtual world, I visited galleries like Lyric Art Gallery, La Masion D’Aneli, 20][21 gallery, Rey’s Gallery, Shui Mo Gallery, Milly Sharple’s Fractal galleries, Daphne.Arts and Deva Westland’s Galerie Des Beaux-Arts. I visited and wrote about 7 installations of Cica Ghost, who continues to conjure a smile in my face with every of her funny whimsical creations. I saw fewer art installations since the Linden Endowment for the Arts (LEA) is on hold. But some private initiatives luckily provide space or the artists themselves dedicate their own space. Just recently I saw an exhibition of Mistero Hifeng’s art at Valium Creek Art Park. I saw “The Mind Melter” by Thoth Jantzen at VeGeTaL PLaNeT, I saw “Lalawood” by Theda Tammas, Yoon (onyxxe), Iono Allen and JadeYu Fhang at La Maison d’Aneli as well as “Binary Radiation” by Nino Vichan. I saw Twilights Doors by Bo Zano (Bozanonl Resident), “The Outer Garden” by bisou Dexler, “Inferno” by Noke Yuitza, “Avaloir” by Eupalinos Ugajin, Undertones by Oluja (artistik Oluja) and “Delicatessen – Tell Me a Story” by Meilo Minotaur.

Since January 2020 the blog has a new category for blogposts about art in Second Life, I won’t categorize old entries though.

I found many cosy and lovely sims where people built their own dreamworld, peaceful and picturesque. You don’t need many prims or a large place for it, Nevgilde Gaard or Black Mire – around hi-cafe are examples for that. Most of these dreamworlds were homesteads: Florence Bay, Authors Point, Secondlife National Park, Maderia Springs, Blaylock Island, Scarlett Isle, Carolina, Broken, Alternate Reality, Fleur Nederland [Dutch], La Digue, Northern Shore – Skärgården, Soul of Dreams … just to name a few. In these sims I spent relaxing hours and enjoyed the views and the peace.

Some were really particular. I want to mention Last Dove, a sim like a movie. It’s setting is based on Lonesome Dove, a 1985 Western novel by American writer Larry McMurtry. Last Dove is still open if you haven’t seen it yet. I also liked Kun-Tei-Ner, a sim that provided a scary view into mankind’s future, a place with no land, a city that grew up on a huge mountain of containers filled with broken technological stuff. And just recently I visited the SS Galaxy, the largest cruiseship in Second Life – impressive, in particular when you consider it’s history.

Then there were the sims that have a real background, where a place in the physical world was build in Second Life. This way I got a picture, an idea of the real places and my visits gave reason to do a little bit of research. Venice in Italy was one of these impressing places and I spent some time exploring it.
I had never heard about Ukivok before and now I have the feeling that I’ve been there already. I had heard of Huntington Beach before but wasn’t aware of it’s oil industry history. I also had heard and read of North Brother Island, yet I haven’t been there in real life (yet). Now I somehow feel like I’ve been there. I learned a lot about Chesapeake Bay, a place I’ve been to twice in reality already being not aware of it’s history.

I also discovered many places related to my kinky side, to BDSM. That’s another dream you can live in Second Life and I do. Unfortunately some of these places don’t stay long like the Elevate Femdom Lounge, Windhaven or Meadow Rose. Also some adult places, that we liked to visit every once in a while, are gone now like The Apostasy or Angel of Pain’s BDSM island (Remark: Angel of Pain has a successor sim)

Gone: The Apostasy (upper left) / Angel of Pain’s BDSM Island (upper right) / Dungeon at Windhaven (lower left) / Meadow Rose (lower right)

Just recently I discovered Caged Elegance, a club with many member, lots of events and all sort of kinks. I enjoyed my visit to Catena et Cavea, an adult sim that is also really picturesque. Amrum is another place I not only went to for simploring but also for a session with Mistress Jenny when I had a green light. I like in particular the BDSM vacation home there.
We visited The Obliviation Hole RLV Prison of Starbright Wingtips who gave us a full tour. The prison and what is going on there is a regular subject when we chat during our Friday night parties.

Thank you all for building, for creating and for sharing your dreams (kinky or not kinky) with the rest of the community. And please apologize if I did not mention all of my tours, it were simply too many. I did really enjoy all of my simploring tours!

End of part II, tomorrow’s part III will be about the other highlights of my 12th year.

Diary 2019 (178) November 11th – Diomita in full control (III)

Monday, November 11th, I had another very nice afternoon with Jenny. I waited for her in the harem at Catena et Cavea again, an adult sim that I had explored just recently (see Simploring 2019 (114) Catena et Cavea). When Jenny came online and reported in to me I told her to strip and then summoned her to me. We caught up while she was dancing for me. What a lovely look! Inbetween I told her to dress and I selected a nice pink body for her to wear. I enjoyed this time with my property a lot.

Afterwards I took Jenny with me to club Domme a Domme, just to expose her as mine once again and also to enjoy every single moment of having her at my feet. We went home and I wanted to further enjoy her but Jenny’s RL interfered and she had to leave quickly. I just had enough time to gag and leash my property for later use *winks*

My night began very enjoyable. Shortly after I got inworld Jenny came online as well. And there was something left to do from the afternoon. I enjoyed my wife tongue and my control. A great start into the evening.

We went seeing the slaves afterwards and I asked Jenny to colour their suites the same way she coloured slut cecy, our cyberslut, the night before. Then we took slave Gwendi, slave Flo and slave Christin to Mesmerize Dungeon and later to Psi’s realm. At both places not very much was going on, although the slaves attracted some attention at Mesemrize Dungeon. But they weren’t at their best and didn’t make fun of them being dressed alike.

It was comparably quiet at Psi’s realm and Jenny and I were just discussing to return home when slave cecy, our cyberslut, came inworld rezzing just next to us. The 4 slaves all looking alike make a great outstanding group. But they were not happy with the colour Jenny had seleted. That’s a bit weired as they should be very happy to please Jenny and me. Anyway, we decided to return home nontheless and played a round of greedy with a side bet. If one of the slaves won it, then this slave might select the colour for all of them. That gave reason for some chatting! slave Christin won the greedy and is considering purple but we allowed her to reconsider it until the next day.

Jenny and I retreated to our skybox after the game. My time in full control was already over again. This time I had used all the time that Mistress Jenny had granted before up until the last minute. I unlocked the slave collar and locked Mistress’ partnering collar around her neck again before we went to bed. Thank you for three days in full control, Mistress Jenny.

We had a relaxed Friday, November 8th. I met with Mistress Jenny in the afternoon and we caught up at Heavy Bondage Club. Shortly after we arrived there, slave Flo came inworld as well and we summoned her so that she could add a colourful highlight to the silent crowd at the club.

I returned back inworld quite early at night. I bought a new skin that is fitting to be used for BOM (Baked on mesh) and I succeeded in getting my tattoos baked on the Maitreya Mesh body. Now there won’t be a glitch anymore with wearing any see through fabric, latex or plastic and my tattoos are harder to remove. Why harder? Because I think that I won’t change that often and I will forget how to do it.
slave Gwendi was inworld and we chatted until it was time for our regular Friday night party. Mistress came inworld just when it started. She had proposed the theme: “The nights are drawing in, the leaves are falling, it is good time to wear brown”. We enjoyed the music chatted in main and in private and simply had fun starting into the weekend.

Saturday afternoon, November 9th, I took control of Jenny, who had granted a green light two days before. After we caught up with our news I exchanged her partnering collar with her slave collar. It is still the collar she got when I collared Jenny in 2008. I made her strip and she had to insert a little remote egg. Then I took Jenny to Catena et Cavea, an adult sim that I had explored just recently (see Simploring 2019 (114) Catena et Cavea).
At the Beach are just a few BDSM equipments but I liked them in particular as the sub/slave can be seen and as it is a particular place. I decided to use a driftwood post that contains some nice animations. I suspended my property hanging with one arm and began to play with the remote of the egg. I watched her fighting but of course she was soon close to an orgasm. That was the moment I switched the vibrating egg off. I changed her bondage and had just to touch her with my tongue to taste her and to take her over the edge. Yes, I’m addicted to her.

The next spot that I had selected for this afternoon was the villa on the rock. It offers a roof terrace with a breathtaking view over the sim in it’s Autum colours and there’s another suspension rack…

There I had my way with Jenny using my strapon and she could shout her thank you (too bad there was none in shouting distance to hear her). Unfortunately my time for this afternoon was already running out. We went back to the beach where I fixed Jenny between two bondage poles and left her there.

Never plan anything in Second Life as Real Life always has priority and there’s no second life if there’s no first life. Nonetheless we (at least I) tend to make plans. When I returned inworld at night, slave Gwendi was inworld as well but absent. I took her with me to Heavy Bondage Club, read profiles and had a few chats until she returned to her keyboard. I expected slave slut cecy that night, who we had left at Psi’s realm, and I had to pick up Jenny at Catena et Cavea when she returned. Hence I took slave Gwendi to Psi’s realm where we stayed about 20 minutes. It was comparably quiet there. I returned home and played a round of greedy with slave Gwendi. Of course slave slut cecy came inworld just after we hat left Psi’s realm…..

We returned to Psi’s realm and I had fun teasing slave slut cecy … still no Jenny. I began to play with the isolation suits and tried out more vision restrictions. It was already after 11 PM when slave Christin came inworld. I summoned her to us and continued my play with the restrictions. Did I mention that slave slut cecy was melting? *grins*

November 9th: Diomita at Psi’s realm with slave slut cecy, slave Christin and slave Gwendi / Gwendi’s vision: “Holy crap!” (upper right), “Sing” (middle right) and “Alpha” (lower right).

It was close to midnight when I left slave slut cecy at Psi’s realm and took slave Christin and slave Gwendi with me to Mesmerize Dungeon. I had in mind to stay there just shortly and to go to bed. Then Jenny finally came inworld. Hence I left the slaves and picked her up at Catena et Cavea. Jenny and I caught up at Mesermize Dungeon before we took the slaves home and went to bed.

 

Simploring 2019 (114) Catena et Cavea

Catena et Cavea is a newly opened full adult region owned by Oroeia. Once again I found the sim by following scoop.it SL Destinations. Ororeia and Kyra Nachtigal own at little shop for bsdm devices named Fluffy Chains. So far they only sell a little multi chain pillory pillow, but they annouced to creat more things soon. Catena and Cavea is the homeplace of Ororeia and Kyra. And there’s really a lot to explore and discover. I spent far over an hour there – and just got a first overview!

Catena et Cavea – Overview

The landing point is close to the Beach house. There’s a advertising column where you can grab a notecard with some information:
“This island is our home, and at the same time a big playground for everyone. It’s adult, so please no underage avatars.
‘Catena et Cavea‘ means ‘chain and cage’, so you might be able to guess our main theme. Feel free to explore everywhere, but please be respectful if we are at home. If a door opens on touch, you are welcome to enter.
While you will find some bdsm toys scattered around everywhere, the main playground is inside the cliff. There you will find a bar, an oriental area, a dungeon, a secret lab and an even more secret cave. Not every door looks like a door.
Have fun
Ororeia and Kyra“

The notecard also contains some hints how to get to the dungeon and to the lab. In order not to spoil the fun of finding out on your own, I won’t tell you here. If you need help, look into the notecard (I did).

Impressions of Catena et Cavea (1) – Circus, toy and technic museum

I first visited the circus, tow and technic museum. Well that’s at least what I think it is. There are two buildings and some stands, a roundabout, a space-capsule, ticket booths, horses, clowns and other stuff. For sure it is a great place for taking pictures.

Also next to the landing point is a house with a glass roof. I’m not sure what it is used for. First I thought it’s a bar, but there’s also a bed inside and a living space under the glass roof. Outside is a court with more places to sit. I called it Beach house. I continues my first exploration tour walking along the beach and came across the first adult bdsm toy, a bondage post. I was a naughty girl and tried some self bondage … ups. I need to get Mistress here when I’m in control again. Walking along the beach you come to a palce for rituals, a Stonehedge circle.

Impressions of Catena et Cavea (2) – Beach house, beach bondage post and Stonehedge circle

I walked through a arch (the one with a sword on it and came to a cage at the beach. What a place to store a slave or sub! Then I climbed up the rocks to get on the cliff. Later I found out that there’re also ways to properly get on the cliff plateau. The plateau again offers really a lot to discover. I certainly didn’t find everything. I started with exploring the cliff house. A modern house reminding me of Fallingwater, the renown house built by Frank Lloyd Wright. The veranda reaches over the cliff and it offers some nice spots to sit and enjoy the view – and the view mustn’t be restricted to the nature and the sea. There’re some more opportunitie *winks*

Impressions of Catena et Cavea (3) – Beach cage, Cliff house and Villa Antique

Not far away is a big modern house and a greenhouse. I called it “Villa Antique”. Although it is modern architecture inside it is packed with antiquities, very stylish! You can sense that a lot of love for the detail has gone into it. On the platform there’s also a sort of a temple with a fountain in the center and a big dome as well as a gazebo. The dome offers space for dancing. Well, naughty me found another spot for storing a slave or sub in a tormenting hanging cell exposed to wind and rain at the other end of the cliff plateau

Impressions of Catena et Cavea (4) – Fountain temple, Dancing dome, Gazebo and Cliff cell

Regarding bdsm there’s more ….
I visited the 2 residential houses at the other side of the cliff. Both a nicely furnished and offer opportunities to sit and cuddle or to tease a submissive. From there you can walk up the cliff properly. You will find a bar there that is built into the rock.
I also visited the dungeon of course. It is huge and by now I had expected it to be huge. I didn’t try out anything as I realized that my time was just enough for getting a first overview.

Impressions of Catena et Cavea (5) – Residential houses, Bar and main dungeon

My tour led me to the labs next. Those are not that easy to find. I walked through several safety locks, I saw strange gear and hazardous plants and I finally got to an elevator and to a room that was separated with a warning tape “Caution Keep Back”. Sounds like an invitation, doesn’t it? I dared and reached a beautiful fantasy room, colourful and intriguing – does it contain the results with the plants growing in the labs? I don’t know. But I know, the colours are just beautiful!

Impressions of Catena et Cavea (6) – Exploring the labs

The last spot on my first orientation tour to Catena et Cavea was the Harem. It is located a little bit below of the Cliff house and offers the right environment for harem scenes – very luxurious!

Impressions of Catena et Cavea (7) – Harem (let pictures), some art and a view inside of a Residential house

Catena et Cavea offers a lot not only for those seeking adult fun. The whole sim is also lovely designed and glowing in the colours of Autumn. The houses offer space for different activities and the sim offers background for those loving to take pictures as well as for those seeking the right environment for roleplay.
I hope that Catena et Cavea will stay for a while. Thank you Ororeia and Kyra for sharing your homeplace with the public. It is really worth more visits (for me at least).
