Wednesday, June 28th, I spent one hour with Zana in the morning. She was at Carnal Intentions when I came inworld. She played with my sub side there and that attracted another guest who wanted to take advantage of my kneeling for Zana … In the end this other guest did not kneel for Zana nor for me – her loss!
We went to club Domme a Domme for a bit, then Zana was tired and wanted to go to bed. We went home to the skybox and I showed Zana the rooftop, where we danced together and where she logged off for her night.

I was running late at night due to my RL. Flo was playing skipee and I joined her at the table. Zana came by to say hello and left shopping. I played a round of skipee with Flo. It was a quick game as I had good cards. By the end of the game Holly was inworld and I took Flo and her to Carnal Intentions where we met Zana again. We had some main chat at Carnal as I met an old acquaintance. Flo left at Flo time and Holly asked to be taken home and to bed soon after. Alessi came on when Holly left – sometimes you might think strange coincidences! *grins*. I took Alessi to club Domme a Domme, but it was quiet there. As Zana told me that she is at Carnal I went there with slave Alessi. Zana was with Ramana, who is a bunny now, a cute bunny. Zana asked me to immortalize Ramana in her bunny outfit – and I do that herewith.

I was tired and retreated to bed …

Thursday, June 29th, I had some unexpected time of togetherness with Zana. And I made the most of it. I had in mind licking my pet for quite some days …. that Thursday the time was right. I had Zana strip and then I led her to a rack at our skybox and fixed her there and restricted her a bit. In particular I added a gag so that she didn’t have to talk but could focus on what I had in mind for her. I teased her, stripped myself and then I cared about her lust, her pussy. I licked her furiously and enjoyed the taste and made her cum of course. A perfect morning for me, a perfect night for her (I hope)!

June 29th: Diomita and Zana at home

I was back in the late afternoon and met maid Monique (MoniqueDefoe) at club Domme a Domme. She served me well and polished my toe nails, good girl. When I returned after dinner, Monique was at home and Flo was playing cards. I didn’t know what to wear and went seeing the maid. Monique helped, as y good maid does and gave advice and helped getting me into a corset and a catsuit.
I went to club Domme a Domme with the maid. Zana was there with Sun (newlifeloading). It became quite of a family meeting. First Flo joined us, the slave Alessi, then Cherry and then slave Holly. We had quite some mainchat and I had some IMs in addition. But I enjoyed having them all around me. As quick as the group built up, as quick is shrunk again. First I took Holly back home, then Zana left, then Sun. And as I had a few busier days ahead I left myself early at flotime.

Art in Second Life 2023 (35) “Fourth Wall” by Kitten @ Nitroglobus Roof Gallery

03 Jul 2023 2 Comments

Dido Haas invited me to see the July exhibition at her Nitroglobus Roof Gallery: “Fourth Wall” by Kitten (joaannna). The exhibition will be opened tonight, Monday, July 3rd 6th, at 12 PM SLT (9 PM Central Europe Time) with music by hEIN! (heinrichmader) and particles by Kurk Mumfuzz.

“Fourth Wall” by Kitten consists of 11 large pictures presented at the main hall of Nitroglobus Roof Gallery with it’s magic mirror floor. The poster above was made by David Silence based on one of the exhibited pictures, Adwehe provided the (light) art specially created for this exhibition.

Impressions of “Fourth Wall” by Kitten at Nitroglobus Roof Gallery (1)

Kitten (joaannna) wrote about her exhibition “Fourth Wall”:
“These images were all made in my own studio and loosely themed around an imaginary photo shoot. They are in a way and attempt to breach the fourth wall by trying to break down the conceptual wall between the picture and the artifice used to obtain it.
Breaking the fourth wall means doing or saying something that either explicitly or implicitly acknowledges the artificiality of the environment and the fact that both the presenters and audience are aware of that artificiality. This is a wider comment I think on art in Second Life as a whole, which is by its very nature an artificial environment. In my images I am trying to show the artificiality of the environment by revealing the lights used to illuminate the subject on show, showing models caught off camera, as well as models dressing for the shoot. However, how much is deliberate and how much is accidental, that is for the viewer to judge.
These images are more personal than my previous works. Some asking questions about the way I live my Second Life. However, they are a continuation of the style in my previous exhibition at Nitroglobus; i.e. all monochrome, utilizing strong directional lighting and blurred backgrounds. The pictures tend to be high in contrast and grainy, and with a vintage/noir feel to them.
I like to thank the three models who took part in addition to myself: Magic and Rain Lacroix and Dido Haas who is fittingly portrayed in a typically flamboyant dress.
If there is a visual summing up then it would be the picture ‘Alice’. I am reading the book ‘Alice In Wonderland’ whilst picture taking goes on around me. For me living in Second Life has always felt like a trip down that rabbit hole into Wonderland.“

Because Kitten’s pictures shown at “Fourth Wall” are in black and white they have a touch of vintage. Yes, you can’t really differentiate between a snapshot taken during a session and a the “real” picture. All pictures are very erotic and most of them include D/s. That’s no surprise considering that Kitten is active in the D/s scene. I really like all of the pictures! If I had to choose a favourite, one would be the picture showing two obviously dominant women taking a break of the photo session and the sub involved is kneeling there obediently. Right next to the picture “Alice” you see another picture showing a D/s scene. The whole exhibition radiates pure erotic in my eyes.

Impressions of “Fourth Wall” by Kitten at Nitroglobus Roof Gallery (3)

I saw Kitten’s work at Michiel Bechir Gallery in March 2022 (read here) and I saw her exhibition “Noir” that was shown the annex of Nitroglobus Roof Gallery (read here) Kitten is in Second Life since December 2019. She wrote about herself and her art: “Kitten was first drawn to second life photography in 2020 initially by seeing the results produced by entrants in a photography competition at the sim where she works. All her pictures are taken inworld and are only a little edited afterwards.
Her big love is landscape photography and she travels the grid in search of the perfect shot her pictures revealing her love of nature, the sea, exotic ruins as well as parasols and umbrella’s. Her pictures look to showcase the myriad ways in which light makes a picture, the gaudy autumn colours, reflections, the play of light on the water and towering cloudscapes.
Recently though she has been drawn to black and white photography and to pictures that try to convey emotions rather than showing just a pretty landscape. Her exhibition Noir at Nitroglobus last year (read here) showed the first fruits of this love. And in her latest exhibition she is seeking to push this style to a new level.”
You can see more of Kitten (joaannna)’s art at her flickr page, at Deviant Art and at her own Ammonite Photography & Gallery.

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 “Fourth Wall” by Kitten (joaannna). Thank you Kitten for your art, a great exhibition!
As it is the July exhibition at the gallery “Fourth Wall” shall be available until the end of this month.

Diary 2023 (67) June 26th/27th 4 Generations

Monday, June 26th, I spent about one hour online in the moring and hopped over my usual places. Nothing happened and I had to tend to my RL again. My night began alike as none of the family was present. That changed when I came to club Domme a Domme. I met Sun (newlifeloading) dressed in a nice and restrictive red rope harness. Maid Monique was there are giving Tonya (bauly) a manicure before she tended to me. Then Zana came in-world and to the club. She ordered Monique to delint my skirt …. that felt funny! Finally Erin (lilerin2020) joined us. It became another chatty and entertaining night until Zana had to leave all of a sudden and when Tonya left the club went quiet.
I stayed with Monique and Erin. After Monique had left as well, slave Alessi replaced her decorating me and I stayed another 20 minutes, then I called it a night comparably early.

Tuesday, June 27th, I was inworld in the morning and met with Zana at club Domme a Domme. We had fun and chatted in main chat as well as in private. I asked Zana, if she had seen the remodeled Carnal Intentions club and she hadn’t yet. She insisted that she can’t go there dressed casually and for the first time I saw her in tight black latex and with a hood when she changed for a visit there. She looks really yummy in thight latex and with a hood! I took her with me to Carnal Intentions and we were not disappointed. Many rubber objects were present and one toy (Toy-Laurie (laurie48)) was that eager that I couldn’t resist to take control and tie it up completely. When Zana and I had to leave for bed – or for starting the day in RL – I took the toy with me and leashed it to the Stonehaven wall at home. It might be a challenge to fill the wall with rubber objects!
I left Zana at our skybox leashed to the wall there …. to find her there in her morning.

At night, when I logged in again, by pure incidence Zana also just logged in. I took her to club Domme a Domme and we spent quite a while there. Erin (lilerin2020), Zana’s sub joined us there … and Helen Feristane (helentvs), Erin’s sub showed up soon later. This way we had 4 generations in line (Diomita – Zana – Erin – Helen).
Maid Monique was present and was teased all night, including a long and intense spanking at the club. She had a busy time – delinting Zana and serving drinks, changing into latex pants with ankle cuffs to make moving more difficult, getting spanked – and teased by Tonya (bauly). It was a nice and entertaining night. Later Zana left as she had to care about her club Stiletto. Erin and Helen also left – but slave Alessi and slave Holly came online and hence I was decorated all night long.
After Monique had left, I took slave Alessi and slave Holly to Carnal Intentions where Vani (vanilla Meili) showed up close to us. Once again, I couldn’t resist and tied Vani up a bit before I went offline again comparably early.

Backflash June 2023 “Diary 2022 (90) June 30th / July 1st When Mistress is away (4) – and still enjoys her control” (published July 20th, 2022)

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 series shall provide an insight into my and our Second Life without reading back the many posts and it might also give reason to browse through the archives.
For June 2023 I selected a post from July 20th 2022, more precisely a diary post covering June 30th and July 1st, 2022. That is just one year ago.
Mistress Jenny was on vacation and had prepared a surprise for me. Things like that made our relation that outstanding. I think back thankfully to the many good years we had together. Jenny passed away a few weeks after this surprise Thursday. There’s not one single ever since that I don’t think of her. Time heals wounds they say. And to some extent that’s right. With time going by I do not cry anymore but think back thankfully and with a smile.
Enjoy reading

Diary 2022 (90) June 30th / July 1st When Mistress is away (4) – and still enjoys her control

I had a busy day in RL on Thursday, June 30th, and was not inworld during the day except to meet with Mistress Jenny in the later afternoon for about 45 minutes. We caught up with our mutual news and just enjoyed being together. Mistress is having a good time and enough drinks *winks*. Mistress also hinted that she had prepared something as a suprise for me together with slave Holly. I did suspect something, yet I did not know exactly .. and Mistress enjoyed keeping it a secret.

June 30th: Mistress Jenny and Diomita at home / Diomita and slave Holly at home

At night, when I came inworld, Flo was playing skipee and slave Holly was in her room. After I had unlocked her room, slave Holly gave me a letter from Mistress with instructions for me ….. slave Holly would be allowed to address me with “Sistress” and I was to follow slave Holly instructions as it were Mistress’ instructions…. slave Holly locked my cuffs (Mistress had prepared them leaving my keys out and out of reach for me) and leashed me. Then we went to see Flo. slave Luci was also present at the table. Holly told me that she was instructed to take me shopping. Flo accompanied us along with Alessi who had also shown up. slave Luci stayed at home.

After the shopping tour – I got 4 items from the list that I had to prepare for Mistress a week before – we returned home and I had to present my gifts to slave Holly, Flo and slave Alessi. And then I had to bend over and slave Holly spanked my ass .. in her and Mistress’ name. Flo went off to bed and slave Holly took me and her sister Alessi to Psi’s realm to expose me. I was lucky, just Psi herself was present. And slave Holly had just instructions for one club….. I could sense Mistress Jenny’s fun, having prepared that all – and controlling it even being many miles away and on vacation.

June 30th – slave Holly in control: Diomita with slave Holly, slave Luci, slave Alessi and Flo at home, at Psi’s realm and at Carnal Intentions

We returned home and slave Holly unlocked my cuffs, returning control to me. I took slave Holly and slave Alessi to Carnal Intentions for a few minutes but then I decided to wind down completely and we had a (longer) game of skipee before it was time for bed for all of us.

Friday, July 1st, Mistress was inworld in the afternoon though on a weak connection. But we were able to catch up and Mistress was happy that her plans for the day before went down well. She told me how difficult it was to keep it secret. Thank you again, Mistress Jenny. Jenny told me that she is still having a great time with hot and sunny weather – and a few drinks. We enjoyed our short time together.

July 1st: Mistress Jenny and Diomita at home

At night we had our Friday night party. Mistress and I had talked about possible theme before she left for her vacation. I picked one of her proposals for the party: “It’s Friday again, and we have our party again. It is the 4th of July weekend, yet today is July 1st and today is Canada Day. Hence cover yourself in syrup and stick to the dance floor. Wear something in red and white or come as you are (even naked). DJ Virgo is spinning the tunes.”

We had fun again celebrating someting inbetween Canada Day and 4th of July. We had great music, a short visit of Dana Drezelan, we chatted and danced. Another perfect start into the weekend – and we succeeded to get Virgo stripped *winks*

July 1st – Friday night party: Diomita, slave Holly, Flo, Baroness Capelo, sakuramatsumoto, Claven Albatros, Zillzie, Laura (laura00175) (upper row), Firefly Skydancer, Starbright Wingtips, Della Randt, Sara (SaraRandall), Jayson Dakota, Virgo Babii, Virgo Babii

Enjoying Bondage June 2023 – Maurer family at a fictive visit to Mesmerize Dungeon

29 Jun 2023 Leave a comment

by diomitamaurer in Enjoying bondage series Tags: , , , , , , , ,

For this month “Enjoying Bondage” picture, I created another group collage, that reflects a little bit our activities in June 2023. I selected Mesmerize Dungeon as a background as it provided the opportunity to add a bondage picture of myself. This picture was taken on June 25th when I kinkplored a black femdom sim and discovered a bondage rack. I also added slave M aka. Dr. Mara Lynn (Maralyn Corleone), who joined the family for a few days to live out her submissive fantasies.
For a picture of June activities I had to add maid Monique, who became a valued servant be it cleaning the house, helping by fetching things for me or be it serving drinks at home and at club Domme a Domme. Of course maid Monique also has to work for Zana, who I added right below of my suspended bondage picture. I the outer right is slave 2323, who is just exploring how it might be to be enslaved by me.

So here is the picture for June: (from left to right) slave Alessi, Flo, Diomita, maid Monique, Zana (below of suspended Diomita), Diomita, slave M, slave Holly, Diomita and slave 2323

I just noticed ….. 4 times Diomita in one picture!

Friday, June 23rd, I met with Zana in the morning. For a change we were at club DeLust. We chatted and enjoyed being together. It seems that Zana (and I) are attracting people even at Stand&Model (SM) clubs like club DeLust. Anyway before we left we had fun teasing a sub named Peni….

At night I had a bit of time before the party started and I met Zana and others at club Domme a Domme. It was fun. Maid Monique (MoniqueDefoe) was present and serving and Tonya (bauly) was there ….. and my platform heels almost killed me. So I had to have a seat. As none volunteered Zana had to be my chair .. what relief! And it was just fair as I wore these painfull heels to please Zana *winks*

June 23rd: Diomita at club Domme a Domme with Zana, maid Monique and Tonya

I had to leave as the Friday night party started. I had selected a theme fitting to the season and to the weather in Europe:
“It is Friday night, time to celebrate the start into our weekend. Two days ago we had Midsummer, the longest day and the shortest night in Europe. As it is hot outside, we don’t wear much and enjoy a tropical night dancing into the weekend – beach party! DJ Virgo is spinning the tunes for us.”

June 23rd – Friday night party: slave Holly, Diomita, Sarah Fhang, Claire Adams (claireadams18), Baroness Capelo, Claven Albatros, Morgie Darkstone, Virgo Babii (upper row), Della Randt, Starbright Wingtips, Beautiful Nightmares (beautifulnightmareshc), Sara (Saraphine Claremont), Erika (ErikaYoung), Shima (Shimah2000), Anna (anna98r), Jeanette Darkstone (arandomjeanette), Virgo Babii (lower row)

The party was fun as always … the way we start into the weekend .. RL and SL. Dancing and chatting!

Saturday, June 24th, I was online in the later morning. I met Zana at club Domme a Domme. And I was introduced to Mimi Cahir, another friend of Zana. Zana and I chatted a bit, then we retreated to CM and just cuddled for a few minutes until Zana had to leave .. and I had to leave to start my day.
My night was surprisingly quiet. When I came in-world slave 2323 was present. I hadn’t seen her for a week and someone had opened her RR gear with a real key. I need to use other restrictions to make sure that she feels my full control. I sat down at club Domme a Domme and rezzed a sybian, so that 2323 could entertain me with her lust. Well, she did, but just after her orgasm she crashed (or left). I went home and as I was tired from the day in RL I sat down and played a few round of skipee with myself until Holly showed up and joined me for one round.
I took Holly to club Domme a Domme for half an hour. We continued chatting and followed the main chat. Holly had to leave and I wanted to leave for bed myself. Alessi just came online when Holly and I were about to log off. At least I got a hug from her before bed.

Sunday, June 25th, I spent some time in-world in the morning. Most of the time I was at Heavy Bondage Club and chatted with Faye. I also visited club DeLust and I went shopping at the 20th SLBirthday shopping mall. Starry gave me a list of links to stores at the Firday night party. I bought nothing but got a gift from Avec Toi – Garter belts. I roamed around a bit and at an empty black femdom place I found a nice rack and tried it out – enjoying bondage!

At night I was alone at first and roamed around a bit again. I stayed some time at Heavy bondage Club and I visited the remodelled “Carnal Intentions” site. At Carnal I met Vani (vanilla meili)

June 25th: Diomita in (self-)bondage / at Heavy Bondage Club / at Carnal Intentions with vani

I met Zana shortly, then I had my usual game(s) of skipee with Flo. By the end of the second round slave Holly and slave Alessi came inworld. We hadn’t had a game as teams with 4 people for a long time, hence we started one. Flo and I won it, but it was a close and long game. When we finished Flo and Holly left for bed and I took Alessi on a sim hopping.. we visited DeLust, Carnal Intentions, Lochme and finally club Domme a Domme

I had a busy day in RL on Tuesday, June 20th. I was inworld shortly in the late afternoon and was at Lochme. Tere I had a funny chat in IM. Well, I myself found it hilarious.

XX: hello miss how are you
Diomita Maurer: I’m well, thank you
XX: you search a miss?
Diomita Maurer: No, I don’t
XX: you have a miss
Diomita Maurer: no I don’t
XX: what do you search?
XX: do you speak german?
Diomita Maurer: yes, but I prefer English, I hate switching between languages
XX: ok dann ab jetzt deutsch (ok, then we continue in German)

I left Lochme….. the IM continued

XX: you cant use your inv?
Diomita Maurer frowns “Why not?” Wrong window?
XX: sorry i must go offline and you are not my slave
XX: than i let you free
Diomita Maurer laughs
XX: why you laughs
XX: wrong window

At night I was alone first and went to club Domme a Domme. Maid Monique (Monique Defoe) was there as well as Tonya (bauly) and the two were really entertaining. I protected Maid Monique the best I could and she succeeded to swallow her anger and to force herself to smile. Nonetheless her “Bad Maid” list got longer. A punishment is due soon again.
In the meanwhile Flo had come in-world and (of course) began playing cards against herself. After a while she koined me and Maid Monique at club Domme a Domme. Unfortunately the main chat ebbed down after bot, Monique and Tonya had left. I returned home with Flo and we played two rounds of skipee (one close game and one easy game for me). Just as Flo was about to say good night, slave Holly came inworld. I took Holly to Lochme as it was busy there. We chatted and I played a bit with her restrictions. Then slave Alessi joined us … and almost literally took slave Holly’s place, as Holly was tired and asked to be brought home.
Finally I ended the relaxed night at club DeLust with slave Alessi

Wednesday, June 21st, I was inworld in the morning and met Zana and bunz (aka. Erika Fairchylde (Aizur Zessinthal) and shortly alsp Phoa (Phoa Oh) at club Domme a Domme. I had just half an hour, then I had to tend to my RL that day and I didn’t return until after midnight. I just hopped over the places a bit and then hopped into my bed.

Thurday, June 22nd, I was in-world in the morning. I met Zana at club Dark Butterfly. She was there together with Ramana (Ramana Karu). We chatted a bit and cuddled. When Ramana had to leave for bed, Zana and I went to my skybox and I got spoiled by Zana’s tongue. A bit exhausted and still excited, we went to club Domme a Domme for a bit. It was quiet there. We stayed about 15 minutes, then Zana had to go to bed. I locked her for the night at Chez Maurer.

June 22nd: Diomita, Zana and Ramana at club Dark Butterfly / Diomita and Zana at home and at club Domme a Domme

I had a quiet night in SL. First I played 4 rounds of skipee with Flo (I won only one). Then I spent time at club Domme a Domme with Zana and subs. It was a coming and going. Not only Zana had to fight with lag, others as well. People left, relogged, came ….It was hard to keep track. I think I got all at least in the picture below.

June 22nd at club Domme a Domme: Diomita, Zana, Flo, monica Emor, Airi Tran (shaynetran2001), slave Alessi, Mars Manatiso, Erin (lilerin2020) and Charlotte (Charlottejersey)

I went off at around midnight. And that’s it about these 3 days.

Diary 2023 (64) June 17th – 19th Visiting Kitty

Saturday, June 17th, I was inworld in the morning and visited 2 galleries. Seeing art and writing about it is always fun and quite opposed to what I do otherwise in SL.
In the afternoon I spent another hour in SL. Kitty and slave 2323 were inworld. I took 2323 with me and visited Kitty. That was fun and it was great to catch up with kitty. And … if 2323 misbehaves, Sleepy Hills is for sure a place I can bring her to to correct any misbehavior *winks*
I had a relaxed night with 2323 and maid Monique at club Domme a Domme. For a short time I had Sun (newlifeloading) and Cherry decorating me there as well. I admit, it is fun to get so much attention.

June 17th: Diomita with slave 2323 visiting Kitty at Sleepy Hills / Diomita at club Domme a Domme with maid Monique, slave 2323, Sun (newlifeloading) and Cherry

Later slave Alessi joined me and we stayed one hour together at club Domme a Domme. Then I called it a night.

Sunday, June 18th, I was online one hour in the morning. I was at Puerto Esclava and had fun teasing Lea Starchild, who owns Pamela Emmons. Pamela has been my victim a few times.
I returned in the early evening and once again I met Lea Starchild at Puerto Esclava and I continued teasing her. But I let her go when I left for dinner.
My night was quite relaxed and uneventful. I was at club Domme a Domme. slave Holly came inworld for about one hour, slave Alessi joined us and Alessi stayed with me after I took Holly back home and tucked her in.
I had quite some IMs that night .. several applications as well … but mostly it was just relaxing for me. Shortly before it was time for bed, Cherry did show up at club Domme a Domme and joined Alessi and me.

Monday, June 19th, I was inworld again in the morning. Actually I had planned just to check messages but in the end I had a nice roleplay and stayed way longer than I had in mind. My day in RL was accordingly busy afterwards.
I returned back online a bit later at night. Flo was present and playing cards and I joined her for one round. Then Holly came online and we had another round with three. That was fun and it was a close game. Afterwards I took Flo and Holly to club Domme a Domme for half an hour. It was full there and a lot of main chat was going on (about silly things, but entertaining). At flotime I brought Flo and Holly home. I returned to the club and followed the chitchat there a bit longer. Kitty came online and I went visiting her and as Alssi had just come online as well, she accompanied me visiting Kitty. Kitty has only 29 days and 6 hours (online time!) to go until she might be released. She tries to be online often so that she might get out by Christmas 2024 *grins*

Art in Second Life 2023 (34) Art Deco Ladies by Melusina Parkin

Melusina Parkin invited me to her newest exhibition “Art Deco Ladies” at Melu’s Photo Gallery.

I am a fan of Melusina Parkin’s art and have seen quite some of her exhibitions. Melusina owns a store for Art Deco furniture called “Melu Deco“, that is just below of Melu’s Photo Gallery. So it is quite obvious that Melu likes Art Deco. Last year she had a whole series about Art Deco. I wrote a blogpost about this series (read Art Deco Symmetries by Melusina Parkin).

Art Deco, sometimes referred to as Deco, is a style of visual arts, architecture and design that first appeared in France just before World War I. It influenced the design of buildings, furniture, jewellery, fashion, cars, cinemas, trains, ocean liners, and everyday objects such as radios and vacuum cleaners. It took its name, short for Arts Décoratifs, from the International Exhibition of Modern Decorative and Industrial Arts held in Paris in 1925.
Art Deco combined modern styles with fine craftsmanship and rich materials. During its heyday, it represented luxury, glamour, exuberance, and faith in social and technological progress.

Impressions of “Art Deco Ladies” by Melusina Parkin (1)

On a first glance I had the impression that all pictures at “Art Deco Ladies” at Melu’s Photo Gallery are all the same. On a second glance I saw that they are all different. And of a more detailed look I saw that they are very different! It is this optical illusion that makes this exhibition so outstanding.

All “Art Deco Ladies” pictures clearly are art deco. The women and how they are  shown with just some lines, the colours and the symetry fit perfect to this art style. But all women are very different, have different noses, different earrings, some have short hair, some long hair, one wears an headsquare, one is black.
Melusina just used 4 colours: Black, beige, white and red (and brown for the black lady). She used similar round forms. All pictures are minimalistic and at some pictures you need a second look to recognice the woman’s face.

I don’t know how Melusina made these pictures. They are not taken in Second Life. They might have been generated by AI, as I know that Melusina experimented with AI. Anyway, very intriguing. Well done, Melu.

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, but still her style is minimalistic and “Art Deco Ladies” fits also into this category.
Don’t forget to grab the free gift picture of one of these “Art Deco Ladies”. I grabbed one for my personal art collection.

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 your June exhibition. I enjoyed my visit!

Art in Second Life 2023 (33) Summer night by Cica Ghost

Cica sent me a message that her newest installation has been opened Friday, June 16th. It is called “Summer night“. Together with the landmark, Cica provided a quote of Kobayashi Issa: “Summer night – even the stars are whispering to each other.“

As always you’re asked to use “Shared Environment” as the environment is part of Cica’s art. Please also turn on “Advanced lighting”

Impressions of “Summer night” by Cica Ghost (1) – At the landing point

Summer night is located at a fishing village. You land at kind of a harbor, you see fishing boats, fishes and octopuses. One fish head is looking out of a duct cover … his tail looking out from another duct cover. Or are these two fishes? You see the fishing village located on a tall hill and you see a lighthouse. The dark sky is an artwork of itself. You see different kinds of golden stars, hearts und a smiling moon.

Right at the harbor is also a stage and you can dance there. I recommend to switch on music. Cica has selected Summer music, very fitting.

The fishing village is very nice. There’s another place to dance, a court with quite some tables and chairs where you can sit and chat. The walls are decorated. Between the houses are some fields to raise vegetables. Oh … and there’s a cat. This time I didn’t have to search “the” cat, as there are some at the village and at the lighthouse. The whole installation radiates Summer and vacation.

Summer night  is a place to gather, to celebrate, to chat and to communicate in a lovely environment of “Cica-ish” beings. The sky adds a lot to the happiness. As adults we can enjoy the Summer and the feeling of vacation somewhere in the South and see the world with the eyes of a kid. Very, very relaxing. At Summer night you can’t be not happy!

As always we don’t know how long Summer night will be available for a visit, so hurry up and have a Summer night!.
