Art in Second Life 2022 (28) Cica Ghost’s new shop

Recently Cica sent me a link to her refurbished shop and I went there Saturday, March 5th. The inworld shop is really packed with memories of Cica’s installations. Walking through it brings back memories of happy hours visiting her sims – and you can buy these memories to decorate your own place in Second Life.

Right where you land at Cica’s shop you can join Cica’s group and you can grab a list with all the installations that Cica made for us to enjoy since 2012. I personally follow Cica Ghost since 2015 when I visited “Ruins” (read here). I did miss only a few since 2015, the latest installation I visited was in 2022 “Timeless” (read here)

At Cica’s shop you find them all: The elephants, the monsters, the chickens, the donkeys, the cows, the flowers, the knitted animals, the bees, the ants, the birds, the pigs and many others. What I missed in her shop … are “my” cats. I might have missed them due to the huge amount of figures and memories that came up visiting her shop. In any case you can buy them at Cica’s shop on the marketplace.

There’s not much to add – enjoy a travel in time, enjoy a visit to Cica’s shop inworld. Thank you Cica … visiting your shop made me smile – something needed in these times of war in Europe.

Diary 2022 (26) February 18/19th Hat Friday

My afternoon Friday, February 18th, started particularly. Mistress ordered me to strip and she stripped herself and invited me to our bed. We licked each other, something that has become rare and I appreciated it a lot.
I had a lovely orgasm and I got my fix at the same time. Thank you, Mistress Jenny.
Mistress then dressed into a dress with open bum and I had to dress like a slut, short skirt, no panties and a daring top. Mistress then locked my arms behind and did the same with her own cuffs. Our keys were left in the locks. Vulnerable like that we spent half an hour at club Domme a Domme. Nothing happened, none spanked Mistress butt and I couldn’t with my arms locked behind – besides that it would have been inappropriate for me. I admit it all confused me a bit, yet I enjoyed my time with Mitress.

February 18th: Mistress Jenny and Ehesklavin Diomita at home and at club Domme a Domme

We returned home and changed for our Friday night party. Mistress and I had fixed the theme the day before to: “It’s Friday again, time to prepare for the weekend. The week has ended very windy. Come with your helmet that protect you from falling trees and branches or with your hat to protect you hairstyle – it’s hat Friday! Or come as you are of course. DJ Virgo is spining the tunes for us.”
When all was prepared for the party, we went offline to tend to our RL.

At night we had just enought time to play a game of skipee with Angelique and Flo as teams before our party started. We had fun as always, chatted a lot, danced and listened to Virgo’s great music selection. And Virgo got once again enough tip to strip for us.

February 18th – Friday night party: Mistress Jenny, Diomita, Angelique, Flo, Baroness Capelo, Claven Albatros, Laura (Laura00175), Nessa (NessaSub) (upper row), Starbright Wingtips, Della Randt, Jayson Dakota, Morgie Darkstone, Kiki (kikimiyama), Virgo Babii, Virgo Babii (lower row)

Thursday afternoon, I spent 90 minutes at Mistress feet. We visited club Domme a Domme, club DeLust and Puerto Esclava. We exchanged our news and talked a lot. I sensed Mistress’ dominance and strictness increasing while she shortened my leash another little bit, slowly …. either to give me more time to get used to it … or to enjoy how I fall deeper…. who knows. As always I enjoyed my time at Mistress feet a lot.

February 19th: Mistress Jenny and Ehesklavin Diomita at club Domme a Domme, at club DeLust and at Puerto Esclava

At night we played a skipee with Flo first. It was a close game, hence fun. Alessi joined us shortly before we ended the game. We went to club DeLust and to Carnal Intentions that night ans spent it with chatting and watching – a quite and relaxed Saturday night.

Diary 2022 (25) February 16/17th slave Holly’s treat(s)

Wednesday, February 16th, Mistress Jenny and I had again 2 hours of togetherness in the afternoon. We spent most of our time at club DeLust. We just talked all the time, catching up with RL and SL news. I enjoyed sitting by Mistress feet being leashed to a leashpost nearby. Later Mistress locked my arms in the overhead pose. That is a bit uncomfortable but I get so much in return. Time flew by just with chatting and looking at us and taking pictures. I did pay attention to anything else.
Soon before Mistress Jenny had to leave to tend to her RL we had to leave the club as the sim was being restarted. Mistress Jenny took me to Puerto Esclava for 10 minutes, then we returned home and Mistress went offline. I logged off as well.

February 16th: Mistress Jenny and Ehesklavin Diomita at club Delust and at Puerto Esclava

My night started with a skipee with Flo. We just had started our second round, when Mistress Jenny and slave Holly came inworld, hence we played a skipee as teams. Again we had just started when slave Alessi joined us. But the game went quick, sometimes the luck is not equally distributed – and it is not that much fun, when the game is onesided.

After the game we decided to have a night at home. We went to our sun terrace and chatted there in open chat. I took a few pictures of us and Holly added a picture with her restricted view too.

February 16th: Mistress Jenny and Diomita at home with Flo, slave Holly and slave Alessi

After flo had left to bed I rezzed a footstool. I ordered slave Holly to me and opened her chastity belt – something that happens really rarely. She had to sit on the footstool and slave Alessi licked her. Mistress Jenny and I watched our slaves and we enjoyed the show. Actually slave Holly came twice – Alessi is gifted with a felxible tongue.

February 16th: Mistress Jenny and Diomita at home with slave Holly and slave Alessi

It was already late when slave Holly was back into chastity. Alessi went to bed and we took slave Holly to update her RR ringgag … and after that was done, it was time for bed for all of us.

Thursday, February 17th, Mistress Jenny and I spent our time together in the afternoon at club DeLust again. We just caught up with our news and chatted quite a lot while I sat at Mistress’ feet with my hands locked over my head. We also talked about our regular party the next day and we fixed a theme. Again I enjoyed this time of togetherness quite a lot.

Our night began with a skipee with Flo as (almost) usual. slave Holly came inworld shortly before we ended our game. Mistress decided for a quiet game night and we continued playing as teams. That took longer than thought and when we finally finished the very close and long game, Flo went off to bed and Mistress and I went to Carnal Intentions with slave Holly.

February 17th: Mistress Jenny and Ehesklavin Diomita at club DeLust / Mistress Jenny and Diomita at Carnal Intentions with slave Holly

We stayed about half an hour at the club just chatting among us and watching people, then Mistress Jenny took slave Holly and me home. She had decided that slave Holly should get a another treat after she got one the night before already. Mistress allowed her to lick me under her supervision. slave Holly did well – I hadn’t expected anything else – and licked me to a nice orgasm. Thank you for my orgasm, Mistress Jenny, thank you slave Holly for licking me.

Art in Second Life 2022 (27) Green planet by Cica Ghost

Saturday, March 5th, Cica Ghost opened her newest installation named “Green planet“. As usual Cica provides a short quote in the landmark description: “There is another world, but it is inside this one (Paul Eluard).

As already the poster gives away, this installation is bit particular. Upon landing you get instructions on how to adjust your viewer settings: use shared environment, advanced lighting and shadows from sun and projectors. It is importnat to use the shared environment, as it is part of Cica’s installation. After setting my viewer accordingly, I entered green planet. My first thought was that I’d explore small intestine. The world is green, the ground is covered with kind of a green slime, the sky is red like blood. From the ground grow simple green plants and funnel-shaped tubes. You walk through openings with green stalactites. My second thought was that of a Green planet with aliens, simply a fantasy planet with fantasy beings, ready to be explored.

The next thing I noticed were all the strange being that either are on the ground or kind of relax on platforms.There “Cica-ish” big eyes are watching you. And of course they are all way bigger than you. Some have big open mouths and at least through one mouth you can walk through to enter Cica’s shop for this installation. You can purchase 2 different “Octaliens” and 6 other “Aliens”.

Impressions of “Green planet” by Cica Ghost (2)

After a while the “Aliens” didn’t look scary anymore, I began to have a closer look at them and I enjoyed. What else? There are some green pieces of rock laying on the ground, some are levitating above the ground. I know that Cica has often places to sit or other activities hidden in her isntallations and hence I looked out for them. I just fond that you can “sit” on the levitating rocks and then you fly with them either sitting, or dancing or doing a handstand. Be careful they move quite jerkily. But it is fun!

Impressions of “Green planet” by Cica Ghost (3)

What else? Quite in the center of the installation is a rocket, a space ship just as kids would draw it. The question remains, did the aliens come with it .. or do they use it to explore other planets? The visitor may guess. The main purpose of this installation is to have fun and to see the world with children eyes, to let your mind wander and to escape from the real life. By the way – I didn’t find any cat on the whole Green planet not even a green cat *winks*.

Impressions of “Green planet” by Cica Ghost (4)

Thank you Cica for another great installation. It made me smile and I did get to other thoughts, something important these days in Europe.

Diary 2022 (24) February 14th/15th The first roll

Monday, February 14th, Mistress Jenny and I saw eachother for an hour in the afternoon again. Mistress took me to club Domme a Domme and we chatted while I knelt by her feet. Mistress and I, we both had other IMs too and the time flew by quickly. I enjoyed my time with Mistress and every hour kneeling next to her adds a little bit to my submission to her. At some time a domme friend of Mistress stood next to us and I had to simple remain silent as the good girl who I am *winks*. And that’s it about the afternoon already.

February 14th: Mistress Jenny and Ehesklavin Diomita at club Domme a Domme with a friend of Mistress Jenny

At night Mistress and I first had a game of skipee with Flo, then a game as teams Mistress Jenny and slave Holly against Flo and me. It was quite a relaxed night. After our games it was already Flo’s bedtime and she went off. We tried out the new “Maurer’s Lucky Dice” with slave Holly. She rolled a 6 – The Teaser: “The small lockdown – spend a night nicely tied up at Psi’s realm and wait to be picked up again someday.”
February 14th: Mistress Jenny and Diomita at home playing skipee with Flo and slave Holly / Holly and Maurer’s Lucky Dice / Mistress Jenny and Diomita at Psi’s realm with slave Holly

Hence we went to Psi’s realm and I tied slave Holly up there, then offered Mistress Jenny a seat. She took it ….. and I felt her above me for the rest of the night until we returned home, leaving slave Holly helplessly tied up to enjoy whatever happens at Psi’s until we pick her up again.

February 14th: Mistress Jenny and Diomita at home with Flo and slave Holly and at Psi’s realm with slave Holly

After Mistress Jenny had left to bed I stayed inworld a bit longer among other things I wrote for the diary. slave Holly was still at Psi’s and finished her – now belated – rez day present for our Flo. I knew about the idea and I will share Holly’s present here for our Flo.

February 12th/14th: slave Holly’s present for Flo’s 13th rez day

Tuesday, February 15th, I met with Mistress Jenny in the afternoon. We frist caught up with our mutual news at home, then Mistress Jenny took me to club Domme a Domme where I could kneel at her side while we were talking or just watching. I enjoy these times of nearness to Mistress a lot. We don’t talk all the time, sometimes I simple look at her and my mind begins to wander, or I take pictures, or I read profiles and when we’re not talking I try to be always attentive. We went to club DeLust next. At least for me it was another intense time with Mistress Jenny. And each time my submission to Mistress Jenny is growing a little bit, not that you could measure it in percent or per mill, but I can feel how it adds up constantly.

February 15th: Mistress Jenny and Ehesklavin Diomita at home and at club Domme a Domme

Mistress had a few interruptions that afternoon but I hardly noticed them. When she was sure to be with me, Mistress took me to our loft skybox, she stripped and she allowed me to get my fix. Getting my fix is a ritual, of course it is something that happens in my mind as we can’t taste and feel the pixel. Nonetheless I feel very near to Mistress Jenny and it has an addictive effect on me – and just as the above time being near to Mistress Jenny, it adds up to my submission to Mistress Jenny. Thank you, Mistress Jenny.

February 15th: Mistress Jenny and Ehesklavin Diomita at club DeLust and at home

In total we spent 2 hours inworld together, a precious time. Then we returned into our RL’s.

At night we first played a skipee with Flo, then we went to Psi’s realm. We wnated to be there when slave Holly would come inworld. I tied up Flo properly and Mistress and I enjoyed the view while we chatted. When slave Holly came inworld, Flo and slave Holly had a short time together before Flo left to bed. Of course I took a picture of the two. After Flo had left, Mistress made herself comfortable. I become used to it – and it feels right to make Mistress’ life easier. We chatted among us until it was time to return home… we took slave Holly with us back home.

We strive to educate, entertain and help the people of Second Life to give to an amazing cause. Home and Garden Expo prides itself on championing not only Relay For Life but the visitors, exhibitors, performers and volunteers who make this event so successful.

Nils Urquart’s kiosk at Home & Garden Expo March 2022

All the photos by Nils Urqhart at the Home & Garden Expo are on sale for the benefit of the American Cancer Society (ACS). And if you buy one of the photos in this exhibition for the benefit of the ACS, Nils Urqhart will give you an additional photo from another of his exhibitions!

Diary 2021 (37) March 12th/13th Mistress Jenny’s vacation (1)

Saturday, March 12th, I was inworld in the later morning for a short time. I chatted with Kitty, who had got up very early and had fun. And I visited Puerto Esclava.
I returned in the afternoon and spent time at club Domme a Domme. It was quite busy there and I had quite some IM’s. That kept me busy. slave Lily (Lily Bloodrose) came by and decorated me nicely. I uploaded the first part mor Marine Kelley’s film “Ali” into her remvision and had just done that, when Mistress came inworld. I left slave Lily and returned home to meet Mistress. We just caught up with our mutual news and talked a bit, then Mistress had to leave. She would be away for one week, most likely she would not be able to get inworld. One week to wind down a bit, to recover – for both of us. And one week to think about a nice rez day gift for her. Mistress would miss her rez day, March 19th.

March 12th: Diomita and slave Lily at club Domme a Domme and at Psi’s realm / Mistress Jenny and Diomita at home

After Mistress had logged out I went to Psi’s realm and met slave Lily again.It was full and there was quite something to watch. I stayed for about 20 minutes, then I had to tend to my RL again.

At night I played a skipee with Flo first and when slave Holly came inworld we played another game. slave Holly was sick in RL unfortunately. slave Alessi came by and watched us playing. After the game, Flo went off and I took slave Holly and slave Alessi to Carnal Intentions for a while. We chatted among us, looking for ideas for Mistress’ upcoming rez day. We came up with a few ideas.
Feeling sick, slave Holly went to bed early and I took slave Alessi to club DeLust and we just chatted a bit and watched.

March 12th: Diomita at Carnal Intentions and at club DeLust with slave Holly and slave Alessi

Sunday, March 13th, I was inworld in the afternoon. slave Lily Lily Bloodrose) was present and we visited club Domme a Domme for a bit. Beside that, I worked a bit on the blog and I sorted inventory.

When I came inworld at night, Flo was playing skipee with a guest name Alissia (alissia29). I watched for a bit, then sat down on the trunk opposed to the house and continued sorting. slave Holly came inworld and slave Alessi joined. In the meanwhile Flo had finished her game with Alissia. We talked a bit with out guest, then we played a skipee as teams. Alissia watched and told us a bit of herself while we played but left as the game took long. It was already beyond Flo’s bedtime when she and slave Holly had finally won the game. I took slave Holly, who was still feeling sick, and slave Alessi to Carnal Intentions again for the rest of the night.

Diary 2022 (23) February 12th/13th Flo’s 13th Rez day

Saturday, February 12th, I was inworld in the later morning for a short while. I went to Puerto Esclava and spent about half an hour there and had a short play with a potential sub. My time was limited and I had to tend to my RL again.
In the afternoon I returned to Puerto Esclava and met an old friend there, who returned to Second Life. We had a nice chat. And then we had a visitor at home and I went home to met the visitor, a black domme. Well, I might have my fun with her as she ended at my feet and I took a few pictures, that could be published here .. if … *grins*. Just when I was done with the “domme”, Mistress Jenny came inworld. We spent half an hour together at Carnal Intentions. Not that anything happened, I just knelt at Mistress feet and my mind began to wander. I embraced my position.
When Mistress had to leave, I left as well.

February 12th: Mistress Jenny and Ehesklavin Diomita at Carnal Intentions / Mistress Jenny and Diomita at Heavy Bondage club with Angelique and Flo

At night Mistress Jenny and I played a game of skipee as teams with Flo and Angelique first, actually we played two rounds and everybody was a winner. Mistress jenny and Angelique went to Heavy Bondage Club, I took Flo to the updater for Real Restraints as her gag and blindfold were messed up. I helped her to get a replacement and hopefully she cleaned up her inventory. But after a while it was done .. and we joined Mistress and Angelique at Heavy Bondage club. Shortly later it was already Flo’s bedtime. She left and we moved on to Psi’s ream and summoned Alessi to us, who had come inworld.
We chatted among us, I had a longer chat with Angelique, time flew by quickly.

February 12th: Mistress Jenny and Diomita at Psi’s realm with Angelique and slave Alessi

Anything else? Yes, slave Sara (SarahJadie) left us as her and our online times did not really match as they should. We had expected that and hope that she finds what she is looking for. And our niece Angelique has moved out and lives now in the household of Barbara Reiter-Jewell (Barbara Reiter). She will keep close and can move back home to us anytime, in fact she will keep a spot at our sim.

I had a quiet Sunday with quite some time inworld, yet not that much to report about for the diary. I went visiting a gallery and wrote the report about it, I met a potential sub and locked a nosering on her and restricted her at home. I met an old friend who returned to SL and she showed me her new home and I had some time with Dely (krysbia) and that’s it – and no pictures. Not that I didn’t take any pictures but none is suitable for the diary *winks*.
At night I released the potential sub who wasn’t able to stay longer than 30 minutes alone …. well, not a fit for us. And then Mistress came inworld and we went to club Domme a Domme to catch up with our news. We returned home and played a skipee as teams with Flo and slave Alessi.

February 13th: Mistress Jenny and Ehesklavin Diomita at club Domme a Domme / Flo presents her rez day gifts to Mistress Jenny, Diomita and slave Holly

It was Flo’s 13th rez day anniversary and we went shopping with Flo after the game. Unfortuantely Alessi crashed and didn’t return.
Flo got two nice outfits at Avec toi and she tried them on at home. We enjoyed giving her her rez day spanks afterards – for sure the highlight of the day!

February 13th: Mistress Jenny, Diomita and slave Holly delivering Flo’s rez day spanks / Mistress Jenny and Diomita at Psi’s realm with slave Holly and Kitty

After Flo had left we went to Psi’s realm with slave Holly and we met Kitty there. What a nice surprise! of course we had to chat a lot and had fun. That was a nice end for a great day in Second Life.

Art in Second Life 2022 (25) Apocalypse by Milena Carbone

Saturday, March 5th, when I got the message from Milena about “Fury” (read about “Fury” by Milena Carbone in yesterdays post here), Milena told me about a 3rd exhibition, that opened today Sunday, March 6th, in Dido Haas’ exhibition space at Nitroglobus Roof gallery: “Apocalypse” by Milena Carbone. Milena said: “It is the last of the Tryptich about the war”. The Tryptich consists of Paroxysm (read here) at Milenas own gallery The Carbone Studio, of “Fury” at Calypso Bay (read here) and of “Apocalypse” at Nitroglobus Roof gallery.

The exhibition consists of 6 large pictures that can develop there strength in a particular way at Nitroglobus Roof Gallery with its floor that seems to mirror the pictures. Again Milena wrote an accompanying text to this last part:

Apocalypse

On the seventh day, my fall has stopped, I landed in Apocalypse. Here and now the veil is lifted on what was born underneath the sleepless nights, the vociferations of the madmen of war, the impossibility of fleeing. They are six fragile children, babies, born in subway halls, in cellars, fragile shelters, under the bombs.

Next to each of the 6 pictures is a text dealing with our fears and fury and with the courage we see, with forgiveness and solitude and yes also with hope, You’re invited to see Milena’s art and to read her thoughts.  Again you can get a copy of each picture for free.

Impressions ot “Apocalyse” by Milena Carbone at Nitroglobus Roof gallery

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.

Nitroglobus Roof Gallery is owned and curated by Dido Haas. Thank you, Dido for providing the space for the art and for enabling the exhibition “Apocalypse” by Milena Carbone, which will be open for the public until March 16th.
Thank you Milena for your art. Be assured, many of us feel like you yourself, helpless seeing as that one single man tries to destroy what we thought being a given – freedom and democracy.

Stand for Ukraine! Stand for a free Europe!!

Art in Second Life 2022 (24) Fury by Milena Carbone

Saturday, March 5th, I got another message from Milena: “Hello Diomita, I announce you the opening of my second exhibition about the war in Europe. “FURY” is exhibited at Calypso Bay, a residential area.

The exhibition consists of 6 large pictures that are shown open air at big walls around a Mediterrean market court. The contrast between these pictures and the peaceful setting couldn’t be bigger. Milena wrote a text to her pictures that I share here:

FURY
A tribute to the defenders of democracy in Ukraine and beyond

Since the beginning of March, the Russian army has been bombing residential areas, schools and hospitals. Why is it doing that ? Because this is all the Russian army knows how to do. It is their ruthless method, and the only one they know to defeat their adversary. As a Western European, I am appalled at the horrible spectacle of the innocent people who live in my part of earth, who share my culture, being crushed by a brainless military machine with an inordinate power.

In Europe, we have diversified and uncensored media and information sources, which bring different angles to the information, including points of view that relay Putin’s policy with benevolence. But this war is decried by all without a single exception. It is indefensible. Its reality is indisputable: the Russian army is summoned by its leaders, hiding it from their people, to kill children, women, and fragile people, with the only aim of tracing a safe path for the military to depose the elected Ukrainian power.

Fury, the second part of my artistic work on the war on my European land, is addressed in particular to the Russians to tell them the love and forgiveness of a European who did not experience the war, who did not attend the fall of the USSR, who, like all those of her generation saw Russia as a land of culture and opportunity for human encounters. I beg them to do everything in their power, with courage, to stop their own damnation before humanity and its courts and our common God.

Impressions of Fury by Milena Carbone

Each of the 6 pictures contains a text in Russian. The translation to French and to English can be obtained in the accompanying notecard. You can get a copy of each picture for free.

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 website, you can also find her on flickr here and you can read her texts here.

Оставь осуждение ради мечтаний –
Quitte ce qui juge pour ce qui rêve – Leave judgement for dreaming

Thank you Milena for your art. Be asured, many of us feel like you yourself, helpless seeing as that one single man tries to destroy what we thought being a given – freedom and democracy.

Stand for Ukraine! Stand for a free Europe!!
