Art in Second Life 2023 (32) Summer Folly by Dido Haas @ The Annex of Nitroglobus

Dido Haas invited me to see her newest own exhibition which is presented at The Annex of Nitroglobus Roof Gallery, which is traditionally the space Dido exhibits her own artwork. The exhibition is titeled “Summer Folly”.

Dido hasn’t used her personal space for exhibiting her own art for quite a while. She was busy with curating the gallery and provided The Annex of Nitroglobus Roof Gallery for other artists. She simply had only little time left to make images herself. She wrote: “However, sometimes when I am in the right mood I do make images, most of them black/white and of me, myself and I. Hope you like this exhibition “Summer Folly”“

“Summer Folly” consists of 7 large pictures and one picture with 3 parts. They all are held in black and white. As always the presentation of the pictures is close to perfect also due to the mirror effect of the floor (I cannot say that often enough!).

Of course the picture are all about Summer, about the heat which you can almost sense even if the pictures are in black and white. And as with most exhibitions and pictures that I saw from Dido, they are erotic but not explicit. They simply show the beauty of the female body in several aspects. There is one 3 part picture in the back, showing Dido in 3 different Summer scenes: dressed to tempt (for a fetsih event?), naked and in a summerly business dress. Three different appearances, but the women is always the same!
Correction: Dido sent a comment to this post. The 3 part picture (I learned it is called “triptic”), does not only show Dido herself, but also Maghda. That might also change the interpretation – or MY interpretation.

When you look at the pictures you see that these are not simply snapshots taken in Second Life. Each motif is selected with great care, the pictures are processed thoughtfully to make the spectator focus and immerse into the scene, removing details that would distract, and distinguishing the parts Dido wants the spectator to look at. Very well done, Dido. I love the Summer …. and I like “Summer Folly”.

Nitroglobus Roof Gallery is owned and curated by Dido Haas. Thank you, Dido for providing the space for the art.
Thank you for “Summer Folly”, a very personal exhibition, shown at The Annex of Nitroglobus Roof Gallery. If you want to see more of Dido Haas’ art look at her flickr page. “Summer Folly” shall be available until end of July.

Diary 2023 (62) June 13th/14th slave M returns

by diomitamaurer in Diary Tags: , , , , , , , ,

I spent some time in-world Tuesday morning, June 13th. None of the family was present nor Zana. I roamed around a bit and found some trouble which made me stay online longer than I had planned.
At night I was comparably early. I went to club Domme a Domme and there I met maid Monique (MoniqueDefoe) and slave 2323 (scarlet2323), my newest potential. I had some fun bossing Monique around although she had been a good girl and the house was comparably clean (if you set low standards). And I continued introducing slave 2323 into her new life.
When it was time for dinner I took 2323 home and tied and leashed her at the sun terrace. I stayed online while I prepared dinner. After I had returned and finished my meal I took 2323 to Lochme first for a bit, then back to club Domme a Domme. slave Holly joined us there. I had a relaxed night with some chats and with teasing 2323 and Holly.

Wednesday, June 14th, I was inworld in the earlier afternoon. slave 2323 was present. slave 2323 had made a nice picture of slave Holly, me and herself the night before. Well done, slave.

June 13th: Diomita at club Domme a Domme with slave Holly and slave 2323

I took slave 2323 to Pak where she got the RR vixen set and updates for her gag.  Then I had to leave again to tend to my RL.

At night I was early and just when I arrived our homesim was restarted. slave 2323 was affected as the restart messed up her inventory and she had quite some work to get it correct again.
slave 2323 had another premiere that night. I used her as my toilet (I forgot taking a picture though) and stuffed my used panties into her mouth afterwards – sealing it with a harness panel. I visited club Domme a Domme with her for a few minutes, then I returned home with her and locked her up at the sun terrace – and went absent for a while for preparing my dinner.
Wehn I returned, maid Monique was present. She was wearing a hobble skirt and said she wanted to make me a bit forgiving by wearing it. The night before she had served me a wrong drink at club Domme a Domme … and the house wasn’t really clean. Actually it was a mess and dirty when I went there and locked slave 2323.
I instructed the maid to clean the house first and then to prepare for a punishment …. and I reduced the punishment to 10 hits with the paddle in exchange for wearing the hobble skirt a bit longer. maid Monique began cleaning the house as we got a visitor – Dr. Mara Lynn (Maralyn Corleone). Mara had annouced her visit to me a few days before – she was eager for a “vacation”, she had missed her “box”. Long story short, Mara ended up in “her” box as slave M. And maid Monique got punished with a paddle leaning over the box. And slave 2323 had to watch the scene with restricted vision. What a scene!

After the punishment I tended to slave M again. To make it worse for her I decided that she had to loose her hair. I made sure that she has at least one wig she could use afterwards. I ordered maid Monique to cut her hair and to shave her head .. which she did. It was a fun night – for me!
maid Mnique had to leave and I took slave 2323 and slave M (mara) to club Domme a Domme.

slave Alessi joined us there … and later also Argi came by. She’s always entertaining! And Dely (krybia) was also close to us. A busy night and full of chatting and teasing. I enjoyed it to the fullest.

I was offline due to my RL from Friday, June 9th to Sunday, June 11th.
When I returned in-world Sunady afternoon, June 11th, slave Alessi was present and she joined me at club Domme a Domme. We could catch up. And I heard that the Friday night party took place and must have been quite well attended.
I returned to my RL and came back quite early at night – and had a nice RP. Then I joined Flo at the skipee table. I had two easy and one closer game but won all three rounds, that we played. Then I went back to club Domme a Domme with Flo and slave Alessi joined me and Flo there again. A little bit later Holly came inworld and I summoned her to me. We could also catch up with mutual news and Holly sent me two pictures of the Friday night party.

June 9th – Friday night party

Flo left at Flo time and slave Holly wanted to go to bed as well. club Domme a Domme went quiet and I spent a few minutes with slave Alssi at club DeLust, but then I called it myself a night.

June 11th: Diomita at club Domme and at club DeLust with Flo, slave Holly and slave Alessi

Overall it was a relaxed night, the right thing after being away a few days.

When I came in-world Monday morning, June 12th, I found a message from Kitty, who is still under Laura Mischief (avimorph)’s control:
“Laura Mischief asked around to learn what people know about and think of Kitty. Well, it wasn’t all good, apparently and she decided to take it upon herself to train and educate Kitty to become well-mannered and respectful to all. She expects this training to be fully completed before handing Kitty back to you. Of course, you can and should expect Kitty to be an eager student and quick learner who will do her best to graduate with honors. So far, Kitty is doing very well. Since Kitty is off that disgusting sludge fodder, Kitty has been moving around quite a bit and is losing weight, too.”
Thank you Kitty …. I’ll watch and will control your progresses becoming well-mannered *laughs*

I met Zana with her bunz aka. Erika Fairchylde (aizur.zessinthal) at club Domme a Domme. Despite that nothing really was going on at the club we had fun …. Zana knelt for me and later I knelt for her. Her business suit looked too dominant *winks*. We both enjoyed both parts. Zana gagged me for pouting .. and she bargained with me. In the end I had to delete her long list of growls in exchange for getting ungagged.

June 12th: Diomita and Zana with bunz at club Domme a Domme

I had a relaxed night at club Domme a Domme. I was alone there first, but then I noticed 2323 (scarlet2323), the slave girl that was so eagerto get the big nipple rings that she stepped into my trap. I still was in full control of her. And hance I used my control to tighten her leash. I dressed her like the other slaves and when slave Holly joined me, 2323 looked already like one of the Maurer family. Throughout the night I chatted with her, gave her the basic rules …. and I chatted a lot with Holly. Holly enjoyed also some focus time.
I got a lot of IM .. but it was a positively busy night nonetheless. When I brought Holly back home for bed, slave Alessi just arrived. I took slave Alessi and 2323 to club DeLust for the rest of my night.

Diary 2023 (6) June 7th/8th Kitty at Sleepy Hilly

Wednesday, June 7th, I was in-worldin the morning. slave Julia (devotiana) was at home annd Kitty was online as well. She had been caught by Laura Mischief (avimorph) and is a hucow now. So far she is having fun. She’s kept at Sleepy Hill, where Madame Moonbeam found her last place – and where Kitty is kept.. and how…. and the whole setting looks quite “Moonbeamish”. Anyway I decided to visit her together with slave Julia. We could watch a cycle of Kitty’s program.

Cow Santana, your milking is now complete.
Your nipples may be sore from the high power pumps. This is unavoidable.
The quality and quantity of your milk will now be checked.
Thank you, cow Santana, your milking has produced fine results. You will shortly receive a reward.
Happy cows are productive cows.
You are receiving sexual pleasure because of your excellent milk production.
Continue to do your duty, and you will receive such rewards regularly.
Reward period is now over. Show your gratitude by being a good milking cow in future.
Cow Santana, you are to be fed now.
Keep your head still while your mask is attached.
Our specially formulated bio-sludge is rich in the nutrients required to produce high quality milk.
Do not attempt to resist as it is pumped down your throat.
Your feeding is now complete. The uncomfortable feeling of a swollen belly will fade as you digest your meal.
You will be permitted a little time before you are called upon again.
Cow Santana, due to high demand your next milking has been brought forward.
To stimulate a plentiful supply, the pumps will be set to maximum.
This may cause some discomfort. However the results will make it worthwhile.

June 7th: Diomita visiting hucow Kitty at Sleepy Hills with slave Julia

Eat, Sleep, Give milk, Repeat …
That was fun in the morning.

I was back online in the later afternoon. I roamed around a bit and at Puerto Esclava some of the regular guests of club Domme a Domme were hanging around. One of them, Sarclet (scarlet2323) approached me, actually not for the first time. She was keen about the big nipple rings. I gave her the link to the marketplace where she could get them – and she got it. Consequently I asked her to wear them …
Back at club Domme a Domme I locked the nipple rings and made sure that they stay on. Actually Scarlet lost control that moment. I teased her a bit, she seems to desire being a good slave girl. But it was time for me to tend to my RL.

My night started with two rounds of skipee with Flo. Once again she had many jokers, but I managed to win the two rounds. By the end of the 2nd round slave Alessi and slave Holly joined us and after the game I took Flo, Holly and Alessi to club Domme a Domme. We had fun there and Scarlet joined us there later. I had a chatty night. After Flo had left and after I had brought Holly home for bed, I spent some time with slave Alessi and Scarlet at club DeLust before I called it a night myself.

Thursday, June 8th, I met with Zana in the morning. I invited her over to my secret place. She had said a few days before: “I am done with your teasing”… Well, I was done with refraining from sex with her. I wanted to feel her close and I did! I enjoyed her tongue and had a wonderful and heavy orgasm.
We went to club Domme a Domme to wind down a bit. Not much, no nothing was going on there and as it is Zana’s way, she made something happen. “Let’s roll dice, the loser will the the chair for the other”. Zana won …  poor me was her chair for a bit. She’s quite heavy *winks*. Overall it was a lovely and exciting morning.

June 8th: Diomita and Zana at home and at club Domme a Domme

In the afternoon I was inworld for an hour. slave rene (rene Rugani) approached me and asked to kneel at my side. How could I deny that? I summoned her to club Domme a Domme and had fun teasing her, later we were shortly at Lochme. After slave rene had left, I roamed around a bit, then logged off to tend to my RL.
In the early evening I spent some time at club Domme a Domme again, chatted … and saw Zana shortly. As always it was fun.

I had a long skipee night with Flo. We played three rounds and this time I was the lucky one with the fitting cards – three times. After the game I took Flo and Alessi, who just come online, to club DeLust.

Art in Second Life 2023 (31) “Far From” by Bamboo Barnes @ Selen’s gallery

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

Bamboo Barnes opened a new exhibition at a skybox, which is a part of Selen’s Gallery. You can either visit using a teleporter from Selen’s Gallery or you use a direkt landmark to Bamboo’s skybox. Bamboo Barmes titled her exhibtion “Far From”. It was opened June 6th and should be available until August 2023.

The exhibition “Far From is in a skybox. In the center is kind of a stage. You can walk up and have a view from there. The stage is decorated with colourful 3D objects, the sides are used to display either pictures or changing textures. The whole stage is an eye catcher in the center. Along the walls of the skybox Bamboo presents her artwork. Quite her style, colourful, consisting of several layers, female portraits, but not just portraits, artwork with several other elements, some are also changing permanently.

Impressions of “Far From”by Bamboo Barnes @ Selen’s Gallery (1)

Bamboo provided a text accompanying her exhibition “Far From”:

“What do you feel now if you close your eyes?
Do you see the faint flicker of light that your memory gives you as you reach out in total darkness?
Or is it something you wish you could have forgotten?
A past that has become distant yet drawing you in heavily. The now that seems so far from it, but it is a part of you.
A part of you that can never be denied.

This is my exhibition start in June 2023 at Selen’s gallery,my sincere thanks to Selen Love for this opportunity. My works are representing the world with slightly distorted than a beautiful elegance sky of the early summer morning. You may think you have nothing to do with distortion of the world …. maybe you are lucky or just haven’t seen it in the dark corner of yourself. I am not a good talker, so here I let you feel whatever you feel from my works, grateful if you feel something different than everyday life from them or you may feel nothing even. Thank you.“

I enjoyed looking at the pictures and exploring the details. Isat down on a bench and became part of this world. The colours are impressive. You have to look long and focused on the faces to get the details or to differentiate what is the face and what is added. Each picture is an eye-cather for every living room.

Bamboo is in Second Life for over 15 years already, painting software & photoshop are her best friends. Bamboo had many exhibtions and appearances in the Second Life art scene and in 2018 she had her first exhibition in real life: “I create what I see but maybe you won’t, they are about people’s reality and  mind.”
Bamboo’s art is a mixture of abstract forms, of people and photographs. Most pictures are colourful and it is in the eye of the beholder what we see in her pictures.
I myself saw her work the first time at La Maison d’Aneli during the Holiday season 2019/2020 (read here). I also saw her exhibition “Marginal Mannerism” at DixMixGallery in April 2021 (read here), the exhibition “Meant to be” at Itakos Art Gallery last year (read here), I saw “Conjure” at FOCUS Magazine F.A.I.R Gallery in August 2021 (read here), “Mindstorm” at IMAGO Land (read here) and “Drawer” at Hannington Arts Foundation (read here). In December 2021 I saw her exhibition “The path” at Art care gallery (read here) and 2022 i visited “Metaphysics” at the Kondar Art Center, (read here), Colores Primarios (read here), “New Day”  (read here) and  “Personal Aspect” (read here). This year I saw “Unusual” at Kondor Art Center (read here). One could say, I’m a fan of Bamboo’s art!

Selen’s Gallery is owned by Selen Love (Selen Minotaur) and features her art. At two skyboxes she offers space for other artists – and one is now Bamboo Barnes space for her exhibition”Far From”.  Thank you Selen for providing the space for the art and for enabling “Far From” by Bomboo Barnes.

I enjoyed visit. Thank you Bamboo.

Diary 2023 (59) June 5th/June 6th Ramana on auction

08 Jun 2023 Leave a comment

Those who are close to me in Second Life and those who are able to read between the lines know how much I suffered from the break up with Zana. We are adults, we stayed friends, we kept talking with each other and as we visit the same clubs we also saw each other every day. Zana kept on sending a personal hello when we both were online and yes, I did not tell her to stop with it. When we saw each other Sunday night, June 4th, Zana did even greet me with a subhug. We both are somehow a steady tease for the other. You can’t simply switch off love.

Monday, June 5th, I was in-world early. slave Holly had just left and had sent a message that Kitty was going to be kidnapped – and Kitty was online. This way I got information first hand from her and what was happening to her. I can tell, Kitty is enjoying! And no, it is not the lady that hired Kitty for educating maids, it is someone else who is trying to get control of her. I had fun talking with Kitty!
I went to club Domme a Domme to watch the people there. Yes, Zana had said hello to me in IM. She wasn’t at the club though. Then she entered the club. She had changed into a very dommish outfit – black with a black/red cloak, impressive. She didn’t hesitate to approach me. “I’m done with your teasing”, she said to me and laid her hand on my shoulder pressing me down. I couldn’t help it, I got on my knees. Zana enjoyed her triumph and proudly exposed me at her feet so that everyone present could see it. I didn’t want it, I didn’t actively do anything to provoke this scene, but yes, I didn’t get up nor did I run away. Instead I let it happen and assumed the “cutie” pose when she asked for it.
We stayed about 30 minutes at club Domme a Domme, then Zana took me to her club Stiletto where we just talked and enjoyed togetherness. Is this a turnaround in our relation, are we going to be close again? Honestly I don’t know but I enjoyed this morning.

June 5th: Zana and Diomita at club Domme a Domme and at club stilettoe

I ran late at night – and none of the family was present. I started playing cards, that helped, slave Holly came inworld and we played one round together. Then I took her out to club Domme a Domme. Honestly, I didn’t see much of the other people there as Holly and I chatted all the time until she was tired and asked to be brought home for bed. I roamed over the clubs for a bid, then I went off myself comparably early.

Tuesday, June 6th, I was online in the morning and met Zana at club Domme a Domme. We just chatted until she had to leave for bed. I returned a few times during the day, though nothing to report really, a chat here and there, that’s about it. In the earlier evening I saw Zana shortly at club Domme a Domme once again and watched her foisting Ramana Karu under Tonya (bauly)’s control.

June 5th/6th: Diomita at club Domme a Domme with slave Holly and with Zana

I returned home as Flo came inworld and we played 3 rounds of skipee. Flo must have had rigged the table to perfection. She had three easily won games! I returned to club Domme a Domme with Flo. Cherry was there, and slave Julia (devotiana) and slave Alessi joined me there. Tonya must have had fun with the rebellious Ramana. She was just setting up Ramana for an auction … for one hour and she dared to praise her as a good girl! She also said that the would tell Zana that Ramana had escaped. The auction was fun and very entertaining.
In the end .. I bargained Ramana for 5 Linden plus 100 Linden for a set of fresh batteries.
Tonya left and with her some of the audience. Flo left for bed, so did Julia …. and I was still there with Alessi and Ramana. Dely (krysbia) came by and sat close to me with Sara (sarahjadie) at her side. It was a busy and entertaining night.

P.S.: I took Ramana home and returned all keys that I had taken

Diary 2023 (58) June 3rd/4th A sunny weekend – A relaxed weekend in SL

Saturday, June 3rd, I was inworld in the morning. It seems to be the time of slaves returning. The day before slave Kari (KariFinnagan) had shown up again after quite some time being absent. And Saturday morning slave Julia (devotiana) showed up again. Just a the beginning of a D/s relation longer absences are bad as the momentum of the developing relation decreases. But be it as it may be…
I took slave Julia to club Domme a Domme and put her into her June outfit. Zana joined us there. I stayed about one hour, chatting with Julia and a bit with Zana, then I had to return home as I had RL obligations.
At night Flo was back. She also was away for 3 days …. We played 2 games of skipee, then I took her to club Domme a Domme to socialize a bit. It was queit there unfortunately. That changed when Zana showed up. As always she succeeded to shake up the club for a bit, hence Flo and I had a bit of entertainment. Flo left, slave Alessi came inworld and I summoned her to me.
After Zana had left, I took Alessi with me to a gallery visit, then we moved to club DeLust for a while.

June 3rd: Diomita at club Domme a Domme and at club DeLust with slave Julia, Flo, Zana and slave Alessi

Sunday, June 4th, I was online in the morning. slave Julia was present as well as Kitty. I took them to club Domme a Domme, which became kind of my living room lately. There I put Kitty into her June outfit and we found time to talk and to catch up. Zana came to the club shortly, but she left again soon later. I stayed about an hour, then I went off into a sunny RL Sunday.

I returned late in the afternoon and just seconds later slave Julia also returned, she couldn’t stay long though. But maid Monique was there. I asked her to serve a coffee but the stupid maid spilled some of it and she had to clean the floor in the club. In addition the house wasn’t cleaned completely yet … and then she made me wait. Just too many reasons for a correction. I left the club, had dinner and when I returned maid Monique had cleaned the house and had prepared herself for being corrected – which I did! Funny side fact …. the pictures look as if Jenny supervised the correction. I had fun *grins*
Back at club Domme a Domme, I could enjoy the result of the correction – good maid.

June 4th: Diomita at club Domme a Domme with Kitty and slave Julia / at club Domme a Domme and at home with maid Monique

Soon after maid Monque left to tend to her RL, Flo came inworld and I retunred home to play skipee with her. We played two rounds, which I won easily. Flo wanted to surprise me with a new outfit for June and I went to club Domme a Domme again. Zana came by with Charlotte (charlottejersey) and bunz (aka. Erika Fairchylde (Aizur Zessinthal)). And again she livened up the club playfully. Flo joined me and had herself in a golden outfit. Well, she likes to outstand amoung the other slaves and subs. Unfortunately she was suffering from heavy lag and left early. Holly replaced her.
I spent a relaxing Sunday night at the club.

Art in Second Life 2023 (30) Michiel Bechir Gallery June 2023

I got an invitation from Michiel Bechir to see the latest exhibition at his “Michiel Bechir Gallery“, that had will be opened tonight, June 6th, at 12 PM SLT (9 PM Central Europe Time). It features the art of Emma-Jane, Faye Nightshade and Charlotte Belladonna, all artists I have never come across so far. 

On the ground floor of the gallery are two exhibitions rooms, a third exhibition space is on the 2nd floor. When you enter the gallery, the room on the left presents the art of Charlotte Belladonna (charlottebelladonna). The ground is covered with grain field, a bench invites you to sit while you look at the pictures.

Impressions of Michiel Bechir Gallery June 2023 – Charlotte Belladona

Charlotte Belladonna (charlottebelladonna) is in Second Life since 2018. She loves to travel in real life and in SL. And she takes pictures from her travels in SL, in particular places that you can see in both worlds. Her pictures fit to Summer, you can almost feel the warmth of the sun, when you sit on the bench and look at the pictures. All of them capture a particular atmosphere. You can see more of her pictures at her flickr page.

The exhibition room on the right shows the pictures of Faye Nightshade aka. Circe (princessginnie). Circe is in Second Life since 2011. She’s a roleplayer and she’s Faye Nightshade, a photographer. She writes about herself and her art:
“My inspiration comes from various matters. The subtle crack in the wall, the slight tremor in an otherwise perfect construction, the inaudible song of the distance between – all of these and much more lead me to creation. Most of my photographs are in black and white, sparked by several RL artists and photographers from early childhood onward.“
You find more of Faye’s art on her flickr page.

The 2nd floor shows the art of Emma-Jane (ratuliambcua). Emma-Jane is in SL since 2019. I could not find out much about her. In her profile she writes “The beauty of a butterfly is not in its colors or in its flight, it is the complexity of its creation“. The exhibited pictures show a broad variety of themes, from a vase with flowers, over a man stadning in an almost endless field of red flowers, birds and summerly scenes.
Emma-Jane has three thematic flickr pages: Faces, Landscapes and Movies.

Impressions of Michiel Bechir Gallery June 2023 – Emma-Jane

Dido Haas invited me to see the June exhibition at her Nitroglobus Roof Gallery: “Through their Eyes” by Caly (Calypso) Applewhyte. The exhibition will be opened tonight, Monday, June 6th, at 12 PM SLT (9 PM Central Europe Time)

“Through their Eyes” by Caly (Calypso) Applewhyte consists of 14 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 an art piece fitting this exhibition.
Caly (Calypso Applewhyte) wrote about “Through their eyes”:
“Women have long been an integral part of society, but their experiences and perspectives are often ignored or undervalued. When we look at the world through women’s eyes, we see a complex and multifaceted reality.
In many societies, women are expected to conform to certain standards of behavior and appearance, which can be restrictive and limiting. These societal expectations can have an impact on women’s self-esteem, confidence and sense of worth. 
Women often face a double standard, where they are judged more harshly than men for the same behaviors or actions. Despite these challenges, women have shown incredible resilience and strength, and have made significant contributions to society in a variety of fields.
Through women’s eyes we can better understand the challenges they face, the unique perspectives they bring and the importance of promoting gender equality. By recognizing and addressing these challenges, and promoting women’s unique perspectives and contributions, we can work towards a more just and equitable society for all.“

Starting with the exhibition poster, Caly focuses on faces, on the eyes and the facial expressions of women, not matter how they are dressed or styled, be it covered due to religious standards, be it cute, determined, black or white. Every face shown, every expression is a bit different and if you allow yourself to get in the shoes of these women you can try to see the world through their eyes. As always at Nitroglobus Roof Gallery the mirroring effect of the floor and the way the art is presented add a lot to overall experience. Just try to focus on one of the picture and immerse yourself into the face.

Caly (Calypso Applewhyte) is a SL Photographer from France, who joined SL in 2010. Her focus is the avatar itself as a means of expression to transport emotions. She processes her pictures with Photoshop. I have seen her work already a few times and you can recognise her style, she has found her personal characteristic artistic style. Her pictures do tell stories, like good art does. And in her exhibitions she chooses a common base or theme for her pictures.
According to her profile Caly also blogs and has written articles for several magazines. You can see her work also on her flickr account.

The longer I look at the pictures I made of “Through their Eyes” by Caly (Calypso) Applewhyte while writing this post, the more I am impressed, nothing distracts from the faces you look at.

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 “Through their Eyes” by Caly (Calypso) Applewhyte. Thank you Caly for your art, another great exhibition.
As it is the June exhibition at the gallery “Through their Eyes” shall be available until the end of this month.

Wednesday, May 31st, I was quite early at night. I went to club Domme a Domme where Kai Harraway (kaipelous) joined me and decorated me kneeling at my side. We had quite some entertaining main chat. Cherry came by and I could admire her full butt and stroke it *winks*. The place around me filled in the course of the night. First Ramana Karu joined me, then slave Holly and finally slave Alessi. Charlotte (charlottejersey) also visited and we chatted a little bit. Time flew by quickly and one after the other had to leave again. Eventually it was just me with slave Holly and slave Alessi – and the club had become quiet.
I took the two to club DeLust for about 20 minutes so that we could see a few other faces. slave Holly even managed to get a little bit of main chat running, but it ebbed down quickly again. We returned home a bit before midnight – time for bed.

Thursday, June 1st, I spent some time inworld in the morning. I had Kitty in IM. She’s still enjoying her new position as executive assitent, educating (or scaring away) maids. And I had a visitor at home and spent time chatting before I had to head off to care about my RL.
At night I spent time at club Domme a Domme again. Flo didn’t show up, hence no skipee. Luckily there was entertainment at the club and I enjoyed my time there. Later I had slave Holly, slave Alessi and maid Monique (moniqueDefoe) around me. For the June slave outfit I added the thin D’Evil chastity belt and a leg harness to the May outfit. And I put slave Holly and slave Alessi in there not new outfits. Nothing more to report from Thursday.

Friday, June 2nd, I was inworld several times throughout the day. I mostly stayed at club Domme a Domme. It was quite entertaining. In the late afternoon slave Kari (KariFinnagan) came inworld. She had been away for quite a while due to her RL. I put her into her June slave outfit adding the chastity belt and the leg harness. Unfortunately slave Kari had technical problems and crashed several times – then didn’t reappear.

I was not only in-world, I also spent quite some time in RL enjoying a lovely sunny day. The nice weather inspired me to pick the following theme for the Frida night party: “It is Friday once again and we start into our weekend with a party. Yesterday the meteorological Summer began. And it is nice outside. Let us have the first beach party of the Summer, wear not too much or come as you are (even naked). DJ Virgo is spinning the tunes for us.”
I dressed already for the pary while staying at club Domme a Domme. Zana came inworld and joined me there.

The party started slowly. First we were just a few people: Virgo, Della, Starry, Cherry, slave Alessi, Baroness Capelo, Sarah, Erin and Zana. But then Claven arrived with a large entourage and the dancefloor was full.
We had fun and quite some of us were topless in the end. A great start into a Summer weekend.

June 2nd – Friday night party: Diomita, Cherry, slave Alessi, Erin (lilerin2020), Zana Darkthorn, Sarah Fhang, Morgie Darkstone, Jeanette Darkstone (arandomjeanette), Shima (shimah2000), Nat Cailín (Natalie Lygon), emmy (lockmetoo) (upper row), Della Randt, Starbright Wingtips, Baroness Capelo, Claven Albatros, Laura (laura00175), Donna Jo (donnajo19720828), Sally Peterson (allypeterson), Sara (Saraphine Claremont), Michelle Mueller (michellemueller), Property of Goddess Zee 4 (claireadams18), Kira Skytower, Erika (ErikaYoung), Virgo Babii (lower row)
