Saturday, July 22nd, I had a relaxed morning. When I got online in the morning, Zana was present but busy with bunz (Aizur Zessinthal). slave Julia (devotiana) was hat home and I went seeing her, leashed her at the sun terrace and began to select an new outfit. I was just finished when Zana and bunz joined me and slave Julia at the sun terrace. We went to club Domme a Domme. The club was empty first, but wiht our presence it filled and we had some main chat and entertainment. slave Julia had to leave for RL and I followed my instinct and knelt for Zana. That was enjoyable and felt right.

Zana and I spent time together as twins Saturday night at club Domme a Domme. That was fun! slave Julia and slave Alessi were with us and decorated us or served us as seats.

Sunday, July 23rd, I was inworld in the morning and had slave julia with me. I set up a room for her, so that she has a safe place to be stored in. Then I went to Zana’s place with the slave and chatted with Zana, bunz and another sub. I did not take any pictures.
At night I first met maid Monique (MoniqueDefoe) at home, she had finished her daily chores. I took the maid to club Domme a Domme where we met Zana. Again we had fun and entertainment at the club, but while we were there first Zana had a long IM with someone else distracting her and then I had a phone call RL. Zana left for bed while I was still on the phone.
slave Holly was back from her short vacation and I went home to see her. We had time to catch up with news. Then we played a round of skipee together. When we were finished … Kitty was online. I took Holly with me to see Kitty for a few minutes, then I took her home and to bed. I went to bed early myself.

Monday, July 24th, I had an entertaining morning. I was at club Domme a Domme with Zana, slave Alessi and bunz. We had main chat, we chatted amoung us and we teased .. and I teased Zana. Just before we had to leave (to start the day in RL or for bed), Lola (swittepet) approached Zana and us. I unleashed Zana and removed her armbinder. She immediately switched into domme modus and enjoyed having Lola at her knees. I think Zana and I, we both are curious how that will continue.

When I came back in-world Monday night, Flo was playing cards at home. She had been a few days off. Zana was also online and summoned me to club Domme a Domme. She was in a quite dommish mood and made me kneel for her. Zana teased Monique and Lola (swittepet). Again it was entertaining and I didn’t feel bad at all kneeling for Zana. When Monique and Lola had left to tend to their RL, Zana and I were alone at the club for a short while … time enough to quickly dot kisses on Zana’s butt *winks*.
Flo was ready to join and slave Holly came online as well, hence Zana released me from kneeling before I summoned them to us. Later slave Julia and slave Alessi joined. The main chat didn’t ebb and I had also quite some IMs. Zana had to leave .. and Lola came back. And Baroness Capelo made some remarks every once in a while from her spot at the bar. Unfortunately I had a longer phone call in RL in addition. Because of that, I went off at Flotime and had an early night.

Thursday, July 20th, I met Zana in the morning in a night club named “Rouge”. We know someone who is working there, this person was not there that morning though. Anyway Zana and I enjoyed the show that 2 girls were performing. The club is quite stylish but nonetheless it’s still a night club.
We stayed maybe half an hour and then moved on to Carnal, where bunz (Aizur Zessinthal) joined us. Finally we went home to our skybox. I desired to take advantage of Zana and I did. I had a satisfying orgasm and just a good time with Zana.

July 20th: Diomita and Zana at Rouge, at Carnal with bunz and at home

Thursday night was really particular. When I came inworld, none of the family was present. Holly and Flo are both a few days off. Zana was inworld and we were in IM. I went to club Domme a Domme. Zana prepared me that she had put Ramana (Ramana Karu) in a breathtaking outfit and that she herself dressed up to impress me. She was not bragging. When she came to the club with Ramana, i hardly recognized Ramana. How cute!
I rezzed a doll case for Ramana and the rest of the night she was in the center of attention. It became a really chatty night and many people gathered around us, around Zana. I took many pictures but I couldn’t really get all into one picture.

Friday July 21st, I spent an hour with Zana in the morning. We were at club Domme a Domme, Carnal, club DeLust and at home. We just chatted and enjoyed togetherness.

July 21st: Diomita and Zana at club Domme a Domme, Carnal, club DeLust and at home

I was back in-world in the late afternoon. Maid Monique (MoniqueDefoe) was cleaning the house and I went seeing. She had just finished cleaning and it was the perfect opportunity to work off her “bad maid log” with an appropriate punishment. We had talked about it a few days before and I had fixed the punishment to 32 strokes. I admit, Maid Monique did endure the punishment bravely and I was proud how she took it with devotion, good maid.
I had just finished administering the punishment when slave Julia (devotiana) showed up. She had been away for weeks and I was quite upset about it. I decided to give her a third and last chance and put her into the slave oufit for July.
Maid Monique changed into something red – for the the Friday night party. I had fixed the theme to: “It is Friday night, time to start our Summer weekend. For tonight the theme is “red”. Come dressed in red (shiny or not) or come as your are (even naked) and celebrate with us. DJ Virgo is spinning the tunes for us.”

July 21st: Diomita at home with Maid Monique and slave Julia

The Friday night party was great as it is always, good music, good company, some chat, fun .. just a perfect was to start into the weekend.

July 21st – Friday night party: Diomita, slave Julia (devotiana), Angelique, slave Alessi, Adumadan Biziou, Zana, Tonya (bauly), Maid Monique, Ebony Massey, Baroness Capelo, Doll Ramana Karu, Virgo Babii (upper row), Della Randt, Starbright Wingtips, Claven Albatros, Morgie Darkstone, Kira Skytower, Erika (ErikaYoung), Sarah (sarajoanne), Laura (laura00175), Shima (Shimah2000), Karylynn, Anna (Anna98r), Lucy (lucycaspiana), Dr. Mara Lynn (Maralyn Corleone) Virgo Babii (lower row)

Thursday, July 13th, I was inworld in the late afternoon for a bit and then at night.
I met Flo and we played 2 rounds of cards. Then when Holly came online we moved to club Domme a Domme and stayed there for about 20 minutes. But – although full – it was boringly quiet there and hence I wanted to move on to Carnal to watch rubber objects. But I could only get Holly to Carnal, then it was full – and it stayed full. slave Alessi had come inworld in the meantime as well ….
I went to Lochme and could teleport Flo, Holly and Alessi to me – then Lochme crashed. We met at home again and Flo called it a night as did slave Holly.
I tried to take slave Alessi with me to Carnal ….. and I could get there, but I couldn’t teleport Alessi in *sighs*. It was one of these nights when nothing works as it should. After 10 minutes I finally managed to get Alessi to me and I fixed her on a rack to have some fun with her.

July 13th: Diomita at club Domme a Domme with Flo and slave Holly / at Carnal with Alessi

Friday, July 14th, we had our regular Friday night party again. slave Holly had proposed the theme which was very fitting to the hot Summer days:
“It’s Friday and we celebrate the start into our weekend. Today it is the famous “International Nude Day” …. Come and join us naked, or come dressed as you are … yet don’t overdress! DJ Virgo is spinning the tunes for us.“

Of course not all of us came naked, but it was close. Cherry was wearing boards “censored” to hide her intimate parts. Angelique selected a very daring body in skin colour – excellent. Some of Claven’s girls wore their steel bikinis. And a very few were a bit overdressed or wanted to really sweat.

July 14th – Friday night party: Diomita, Angelique, slave Holly, Flo, slave Alessi, Cherry, Ebony Massey, Monique, Sun, Baroness Capelo, Luci Glendale, Virgo Babii (upper row), Della Randt, Starbright Wingtips, Pink Nightmare (nightmare2023), Lucy (lucycaspiana), Anna (anna98r), Claven Albatros, Kira Skytower, Donna Jo (donnajo19720828), Morgie Darkstone, Laura (laura00175), Shy (shahniyah), Erika (ErikaYoung), Shima (Shimah2000) (lower row)

We had fun! Claven hold that many leashes that it was hard to take a picture of everyone. One guest, Jeanette Darkstone (arandomjeanette), didn’t show correctly in my viewer, hence she’s not included in the picture above.
slave Holly made a great picture of the party showing most of us.

July 14th – Friday night party: who is who?

Monday, July 10th, I was not online during the day and at night I was alone first. I used the time to write about “Resilience 2049”, and exhibtion by Milena Carbone, that I had visited during the weekend at Michiel Bechir Gallery (read here). After I had finished I played being Flo …. and played cards against myself. No wonder .. I won! I was about to start roaming when slave Holly and slave Alessi showed up simultaneously. I took them to club Domme a Domme first. It was full there, but no maid … and no main chat, just a silent crowd. When I complained that none serves drinks, slave Alessi surprised me. She had an invisible magic bag and took out a tray with a jug of wine and glasses. I got a glass of wine … Cherry wine. I didn’t know that Cherry is also a winemaker!

We moved on to Carnal to watch rubber objects, a snail, a bat, ponies, dragons, a piggy and a few humans. I had a mutlichat window open with Holly and Alessi and we had an enjoyable night – talking about the people around us, having banter and being a bit silly. A relaxed night!
When slave Holly went to bed, I siad good night to Alessi as well as I wanted to continue an ongoing roleplay – but that failed that night and hence I went off to bed myself too.

July 10th: Diomita at club Domme a Domme and at Carnal with slave Holly and slave Alessi

Tuesday, July 11th, was quite alike. I was not in-world much during the day – and had a relaxed night. I met Angelique at Carnal and we chatted a bit. It had been a while that I had seen her in person. After Angelique had went off to bed, I returned home and saw that Flo was playing cards. SL had played tricks on me once again as she wasn’t shown online to me.
We played a round of skipee and while we played first slave Holly and then slave Alessi came inworld. Holly didn’t stay long though. She had to recover, the heat in RL is too much for some of us. I took Flo and Alessi to coub Domme a Domme, but it was quite there – that changed when Argi showed up and livened up the club a bit. Flo just saw Argi coming when she was going off to bed.

Wednesday, July 12th, I revisted Michiel Bechir Gallery to see the other exhibitions there and I wrote another blog post (read here). I had another relaxed night. First I played two rounds of skipee with Flo, then I spent time with Flo, slave Holly and slave Alessi at club Domme a Domme and later at Carnal where Faye joined us for a short time. After Flo had left, I played a bit with the slave’s gear before we went to bed.

And that’s it already about these 3 days.

Art in Second Life 2023 (39) Michiel Bechir Gallery July 2023

13 Jul 2023 2 Comments

When I visited Milena Carbone (mylena1992)’s newest exhibition named “Resilience 2049” at Michiel Bechir Gallery (read here), I saw that the Gallery features also other artists. Actually Michiel had invited me to the opening even, that happened tuesday, July 11th.
I visited the other parts of the July exhibition at Michiel Bechir Gallery on Wednesday, July 12th. The overall theme in July is “Portraits”

The Michiel Bechir Gallery has been remodeled. It now provides 4 exhibition rooms on two floors. In July you can see Michiel Bechir’s own artwork on the 1 floor left, Myra Wildmist’s art on the 1st floor right, Karma Weymann’s pictures on the 2nd floor left and Milena Carbone (mylena1992)’s exhibition “Resilience 2049” on the 2nd floor right.

I started my 2nd visit with visiting Michiel Bechir’s exhibition. Usually Michiel’s takes pictures of extraordinairy landscapes in Second Life. The selected pictures for July are different as they all show females, but not portraits or close-ups. Instead the female avatars enrich the landscape in which they are photographed. In my personal opinion, that makes the pictures of the landscape and places more lively.

Michiel Bechir has started his long virtual journey into Second Life as a photographer in 2009. Michiel enjoys seeing new places, meeting new people from all over the world and expierencing the creativity in Second Life (just like I do!). Michiel discovered the possiblities of different tools to improve his pictures. By editing them he also tries to add a personal touch and feeling.
Besides owning and creating the Michiel Bechir Gallery, Michiel also has a gallery with a selection of pictures at Art Park. Furthermore you can also see more of his work on his flickr page.

On the 1st floor to the right you find the art of Myra Wildmist. According the the theme of the July exhibtion, Myra presents portraits, female portraits. One wall shows portraits of different characters and ethnics with different techniques for portraits, another wall is dedicated to females as an element of highlightening an otherwise boring landscape or background. I personally like her self portrait, which she presents herself with 3 different filter settings – quite a difference in my opinion, and proving what can be done within Second Life photography using simple filters.

Myra Wildmist is in Second Life since 2012. With her pictures Myra’s “goal is to demonstrate that virtual photography is a new art form and Second Life is a true medium for virtual art. Using the tools SL provided, she creates her photos using many of the same photographic techniques one would use in real life, while also incorporating virtual techniques not available in real life. Myra’s photography is done entirely in-world using SL environmental effects, graphic settings, and photographic filters.” Myra also creates sculptures and installations.
The notecard, that you can grab in her exhition room at michiel Bechir Gallery contains a long list of her exhibitions in-world so far as well as links to other publications of her. Myra writes for magazines and blogs, in partilar she is a staff member of Kultivate/Windlight Magazine. You find more of her art at her flickr page and on her own blog.

On the 2nd floor left the art of Karma Weymann is exhibited. Karma makes pictures of females in everyday scences. The images initially look like snapshots. The women either look shocked that they are being photographed like this – or they don’t even notice it. And that is exactly what makes the pictures so appealing.

Karma Weymann joined Second Life already in 2007. You can grab a notecard about her in the room. Karma writes about her art: “I take most of my photos at my homemade studio in SL but there are some location shoots as well. I create my own avatars for models and try to give them an unconventional kind of beauty, a sex appeal that seems more real than cookie-cutter barbie doll avies. I usually focus on shapes, shadows and light, with overall composition and balance being the desired goal. Lastly, I try to depict my models doing ordinary things with a seemingly innocent natural sensuality.”
Karma Weymann owns the Karma’s Gallery Store at Starz and a store at Kultivate – Karma’s Store at Kultivate.
You can see more of her art at her flickr page.

Finally, on the 2nd floor right is Milena Carbone (mylena1992)’s exhibition “Resilience 2049”. I wrote already about it here.

As the name implies, Michiel Bechir Gallery is owned by Michiel Bechir. Thank you Michiel and the whole team Maggie Runo, Tresore Prada (tresore) and MsToya (Mstoya Bailey) for providing the space for the arts!
Thank you to all artists involved in this July exhibition. I enjoyed my visit.

Art in Second Life 2023 (38) Resilience 2049 by Milena Carbone @ Michiel Bechir Gallery

12 Jul 2023 Leave a comment

It’s been a while that I covered the art of Milena Carbone (mylena1992). When I got the invitation to visit “Resilience 2049”, her newest exhibtion, I decided to visit it for two reasons – firstly her exhibtion is at Michiel Bechir Gallery, a gallery that I cover comparably regularly, and secondly I read her notecard that came with the invitation and I became curious.

Milena Carbone’s notecard explains the background of the exhibition, the main story, that connects all presented pictures (portraits), she explains the word “Résilience”, she explains the technique how the portraits were taken – and finally she outlines her own thoughts.

The “Resilience 2049” exhibition grew out of the “Resilience” dance show presented at Noir Wen in April 2023. Behind the dancers, the background featured a series of portraits of “resilient” people, most of them children. The show gave little explanation for the staging, which everyone interpreted in their own way.
(Get more information about the ballet “Résilience” here)
I got a lot of feedback on these portraits, and decided to make them a permanent exhibition in my studio, the Carbone Studio. The exhibition in the Michiel Bechir Gallery is a first sketch of that exhibition.

Resilience is the ability of an individual, a group or a community to adapt and recover from crisis, trauma, loss or major change in their lives. This is what my generation and generations to come are going to have to face, forced and coerced by previous generations who were unable to mobilize to spare us from the suffering of an increasingly violent world and a planet going haywire.

Impressions of “Resilience 2049” by Milena Carbone @ Michiel Bechir Gallery (1)

And why 2049?
Blade Runner 2049 and, three years apart, Wong Kar-wai’s 2046. Both films deal with the end of a world
2049 marks the centenary of the Chinese revolution, and the Chinese government’s project to become the world’s dominant power.
2049, or 2050, is a key date in the IPCC reports, which see it as the climate tipping point.
Resilience 2049 is a portrait gallery of witnesses from the year 2049 to the dangerous, violent and inhospitable world we’ve handed down to them.

In the center of the exhibition runs a video. In this video the characters shown as portraits on the walls of the exhibition come alive. They talk and change their facial expression. The video can also be seen on youtube here.

The video as well as the portraits were created using AI – the result is very impressive! And as Milena wrote, the portraits and the characters are still her art, her style.
The portraits were all created exclusively with Midjourney, applying my style parameters. The application is relatively unstable today, with almost weekly updates and improvements, making the stability of my style more fragile.
I used a face animation app for the first time. The characters in the video may seem caricatured in relation to the seriousness of the subject. I’m aware of that. But I had to try. Here too, the application is regularly updated. In a recent update, after the creation of this video, the emotional mimicry of the faces was improved.

Impressions of “Resilience 2049” by Milena Carbone @ Michiel Bechir Gallery (2)

Resilience 2049 is an impressive exhibition with a message, a clarion call to action. It touched me – as Milena intended it. The portraits are quite realistic, they express their feelings, their anger and their desperation. Resilience 2049 is not an exhibition “to enjoy”, more “to experience” – another piece of art fo Milena Carbone.

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: “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.
Milena has an own gallery, the Carbone Studio and she has a bookstore @ Noir’Wen City.
Milena has an own website, you can also find her on flickr here and you can read her texts here.

The Michiel Bechir Gallery has a new main building. “Resilience 2049” by Milena Carbone is on 2d floor on the right. I haven’t (yet) visited the other current exhibitions. Thank you Michiel and the whole team Maggie Runo, Tresore Prada (tresore) and MsToya (Mstoya Bailey) for providing the space for the arts!

Diary 2023 (72) July 8th/9th – A quiet weekend

Saturday, July 8th, I was online in the morning for about one hour and roamed a bit over the clubs. Nothing happened and I tended to my RL instead.
At night I was running late. I met Flo at home and we caught up with mutual news, then we played a round of skipee. slave Alessi came by and as I was in the mood for it we played another round with three. Afterwards I took Flo and slave Alessi to club Domme a Domme. Cherry was there and joined us.

July 8th: Diomita at coub Domme a Domme with Cherry, Flo and slave Alessi

It became a quiet, relaxed night. We moved on to Carnal to watch rubber people. Vani (vanila Meili) came by and I couldn’t resist and took control of her. And also Mercy (Steelyeye Blinker) joined us. I got quite some kisses on my butt *winks*

July 8th: Diomita at Carnal with Cherry, Flo, slave Alessi, Vani and Mercy

Sunday, July 9th, I came inworld in the earlier morning to check messages, then again at around lunch time. I went to Heavy Bondage Club, where I idled while doing other stuff in RL.

Sunday, July 9th, was another quiet day, regarding SL (and also in RL by the way). I was inworld in the mroing and met Kitty at Sleepy Hills. She’s behaving well and improving (who does really believe that?). Anyway, she’s having fun and enjoys her newest adventure.
I was inworld again in the later afternoon for a bit and roleplayed a bit (i won’t report here about it).
At night slave Holly came inworld surprisingly early. We decided to occupy the skipee table and played two games. Flo did show up and had to wait to join in for a game of three. When we had finished this game, slave Alessi was present as well and Flo left for bed. I took slave Holly and slave Alessi to club Domme a Domme. We had just arrived when slave Alessi had to leave again (RL is always first!). And slave Holly had an early start the next day and went off soon after slave Alessi as well.

And that’s it about a more quiet weekend.

Tuesday, July 4th, I went online in the morning a bit later than I had planned to. Zana was at home and we met shortly to catch up and for a kiss. I enjoyed that, a perfect start into my day.
I was inworld again a few times during the day, yet nothing worth reporting happened. I started my night at Carnal Intentions and had just arrived when Zana came online. We met at home, then I took her to Carnal where we enjoyed watching people and being together. Sun (newlifeloading) joined us there. And sun also joined us when we had moved on to club Domme a Domme later. I had more than one hour with Zana and I did enjoy it a lot.

July 4th: Diomita and Zana at home, at Carnal Intentions and at club Domme a Domme with Sun

After Zana had left, I stayed at club Domme a Domme. I summoned slave Alessi to me, when she came online. And Cherry was at the club as well as of course Baroness Capelo, who is always there *winks*. slave Holly came online just shrotly and told me that she was too tired to join.
I had a relaxed night at the club, with quite some IMs and with teasing Alessi.

July 4th: Diomita at club DeLust with Cherry and slave Alessi, Baroness Capelo in the background

Wednesday, July 5th, I met Zana in my morning and we had half an hour of togetherness time. We made the most of it and I got a fantastic licking. Thank you, pet!

July 5th: Diomita and Zana at home

I had a nice roleplay scene to watch in the afternoon and was inworld for more than 2 hours watching it.
At night I ran late due to my RL. Flo was playing cards and we played two rounds – two easy games, one for me, one for Flo. By the end of the 2nd game slave Holly joined us. I took Flo and slave Holly to club Domme a Domme and as nothing was going on there in main chat, we chatted amoung us. Oh … and Flo got her July outfit as well.
Later after Flo had gone to bed and just before Holly had to leave, slave Alessi joined us.

Art in Second Life 2023 (37) “Do You Believe?” by Ninae Trallis @ NovaOwl Community Center

07 Jul 2023 2 Comments

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

Owl Dragonash invited me to visit the newest exhibition at the NovaOwl Community Center named “Do You Believe?”. The exhibition is by Ninae Trallis und consists of about 20 pictures, but there’s more. Ninae added further 3D objects to decorate the exhibition space fitting to the pictures presented. Owl sent me a folder with a description written by Ninae Trallis and a poster.


The about 20 pictures quite different, yet you can notice that they come from one artist. Some are quite minimalized with no ar only a quiet background to make the spectator focus on details, other pieces extend beyond the picture itself and appropriately relate to the 3D objects in the exhibition space.

Impressions of “Do You Believe” by Ninae Trallis @ NovaOwl Community Center (1)

Ninae Trallis wrote a description which is important to understand her art – and which leads to another, in my eyes extraordinary feature of her exhibition:
“There are a lot of photographers in SL. I think I am one of those who take what feels like an eternity to take a picture! So please never ask me for photos if you don’t have at least half a day to spare. For my shots I use Black Dragon Viewer. For minor corrections I use Photoshop, but I try to avoid major image changes. The straightforwardness of my photos is based solely on environments, light settings, poses and my preference for very rare items in SL.
Yes, somehow almost every image has a (sometimes completely unrelated) song. You will also find the links in the gallery. Without music my creative side doesn’t work. The respective song I listened to on repeat and please believe me… that was not always a good idea!“

You find a symbol for music next to each picture and when you click it, you’ll get a link to youtube and you can listen to the music that Ninae Trellis listened to on repeat while creating her art. I think that is quite intriguing as it provides a quite personal link between the spectator and the artist.

For the left picture above the song, Ninae listened to, is from Billie Eilish “All the good girls go to hell” and that fits well will the flames under the picture. Other songs do not at all relate to the picture as Ninae wrote.
The pictures are very tasteful, many are portraits of women, some are quite erotic, some are romantic, some are pure fantasy.

Ninae Trallis is in Second Life since 2009. She wrote about herself: “What else do you want to know about me? Hmm, the short version: German, English-speaking, female, sincere, humorous, mindful… and of course SL “verified” in any shape or form. And no, this is not a contact ad.”
Ninae has flickr account, where you can see more of her art.

Ninae added in her note: “I really hope you feel welcomed and enjoy spending some time in the gallery. Thanks to the NovaOwl team for this great location! And also a very special thanks to my Vodka Lemur, who created a little world around each photo.”
Vodka Lemur is Ninae’s partner and he’s also in one of the exhibited pictures.

Art in Second Life 2023 (36) 100 Retro Ladies by Melusina Parkin

Melu has opened a new exhibition that follows seamlessly from her exhibition “Art Deco Ladies” and continues the thread. It is called “100 Retro Ladies” and it is shown at a new gallery “Melu’s Black Gallery”. When I went there, the provided landmark brought me to Melusina Parkin’s Minimum Gallery. From there I had to take a tp pad to get to “Melu’s Black Gallery”.


It’s been less than 2 weeks since I visited “Art Deco Ladies” (read more here) and the exhibition can still be seen. At first glance, “Art Deo Ladies” shows nothing but the same pictures, but at second glance you can see that all the pictures are different and show different ladies, very different.
“100 Retro Ladies” is a kind of sequel under different auspices.

The “100 Retro Ladies” are shown on the 4 walls of a skybox gallery. Each wall shows 5 pictures under a different general subtitle/colour: “Red, Ivory, Teal and Black”. When you click the pictures, the next series of the same subtitle is shown. All pictures show – surprise – “Retro Ladies”, ladies that fit into the era of Art Deco.
Melusina wrote: “AI images manipulation allows to create series of similar pictures inspired to a theme. I used them to build a rich exhibition of 100 portraits of retro ladies in four different color tones and shown in groups of five. Explore this extensive collection of facinating retro images. A selection of images is also available for sale.”

In the center of the exhibition space you can grab a free gift. Don’t miss getting it!

I am a fan of Melusina Parkin’s art and have seen quite some of her exhibitions. Melusina Parkin’s style is minimalistic. She usually takes her pictures in Second Life. The minimalism forces the spectator to focus on details, that might stay unseen when too much distracts the view. Lately she tried out different things, in particular she explored the possibilites of creating art based on AI generated pictures – like the “100 Retro Ladies”.

Each portrait is a piece of art. each lady is different, they wear different hats, have different hair styles (though mainly comparably short hair cuts), the background and the clothes they are wearing fit to the overal subtitle of the series. The background of the prtraits is not too distracting and the style of the portraits is still minimalistic. I was excited to see this variety of portraits, all fitting to one era. All ladies look outstanding in their own way. Don’t miss seeing them.

Melusina Parkin is in Second Life since September 2008. She has been a fashion manager, a journalist, a furniture creator, a builder, a decorator and a photographer. Her work as a photographer has been showcased in more than 50 exhibitions – from which I saw just a few. Melusina has a flickr account which counts more than 13,000 (!) photographs. Extensive collections of her photos can be seen also on her blog Virtual Exhibits and on some slideshows on Youtube (links also under this post).
There’s also an online book with her Second Life exhibits 2011-2019 here.
Melusina Parkin has an own gallery at Time Portal, “Melu’s Photo Gallery” and an own store for Art Deco furniture called “Melu Deco“. Melusina also owns a second place (Melu Space) with another gallery (Minimum Gallery), a bookstore and another “Melu Deco” inworld store.

Thank you for this exhibition, Melusina. I enjoyed the “100 Retro Ladies”!
