Friday, Ocotber 29th, I met with Mistress Jenny in the afternoon. We went to club Domme a Domme, where we caught up with our news. Mistress and I had a few IMs, one was about my story from owning Mistress Jenny as mine to becoming her married slave. Mistress Jenny talked with me about it and fueled my submission to her.
When we returned home, she provided me my fix. She made me lick ehr while she was talking about welding my collar, about my position, about my enslavement. Mistress is a real expert when it comes to conditioning. Thank you, Mistress Jenny!

October 29th: Mistress Jenny and Diomita at club Domme a Domme and at home

After we had recovered we changed into our outfits for our Halloween party at night. My Little Red Ridding Hood costume was quite bloody!

Our Halloween party was great fun. I’d like to say – as every year. Mistress Jenny had done a great job with decorating our dancefloor and embedding it into a forest. And we had great costumes.

Friday night Halloween party: Mistress Jenny and Diomita, Janina Foxdale, Sarah Fhang (upper row), slave Holly, Mistress Jenny and Diomita, Maurer’s pet Sun, Virgo Babii (lower row)

Some outfits were quite scary, bloody or simply creative. Our Ebony had wings, but couldn’t lift off due to her fat ass. Domina Ansar was a huge fantasy robot with skulls just topped in height by DwarfSquasher Stormcrow. Some (late) guests just joined as they were. Well, and Claven’s decorations do always come naked (or just with chastity belts).

Friday night Halloween party: Ebony Massey, Domina Ansar, ruby (saharapuddle), sapphire (littleshy97), Claven Albatros with Laura (Laura00175) and Kira Skytower (upper row), Baroness Capelo, Claven Albatros, DwarfSquasher Stormcrow with Della Randt, Starbright Wingtips and Jayson Dakota, Mina (Mayhemzodd Mcdunnough), Dr. Mara Lynn (Maralyn Corleone) (lower row)

That we had a outfit contest has become a tradition. We had several winners and none with more than 2 votes. Our slave Holly and our pet Sun also won – and we will get something nice restrictive for them for the prize money *winks*. And Virgo had to strip, this time she dared to even take off her panties (if she wore any, what I doubt). The pictures I took are nice memories – until next year’s Halloween party.

Friday night Halloween party: Della Randt, Starbright Wingtips, Sara (SaraRandall), Tsuki Takeda (upper row), our dance floor, Patricia Greiner (Patricia Plutonian), Virgo Babii

Simploring 2021 (33) Grauland November 2021

following Inara Pey’s blog I came across “Grauland” again. Inara just had published a new blogpost about “Grauland“: “Grauland’s Lights in Second Life“.

I have visited Grauland in 2019 the first time (read here), three times in 2020 (read here, here and here) and the last time in April 2021 (read here). And everytime it was different. Each redesign was worth a visit so far.

Grauland is an adult homestead owned by JimGarand. He runs a shop for poses (M-1 Art Poses). Inara reported in her post that JimGarand had been away for a few month, and that he moved to a new (adult) homestead. And he created again something different from what I saw from him before. As far as I could find out, Jim’s shop for poses (M-1 Art Poses) is not (yet?) located in the skies above – at least I saw no teleport point to it.

Grauland is a modern town. The landing point is in an older part with a red light district. In the background you see the skyscrapers of what might be the business district. It you use shared environment, it’s night and a bit hazy. You can sense that you’re not in the best district of the the town. The facades are used for big paintings, racelights lead to nightclubs and other stores like a laundry or a cinema. Public toilets are not far from the landing point.

Impressions of Grauland November 2021 (1): Around the landing point

I walked towards the promende first, had a short break at a bar, then walked all along the promenade with its modern light art objects. The promenade ends in a tunnel.

I walked back and used the stairs to enter the largest building at Grauland. I named it “Modern Art Building”. In the court you find more light art objects. The building itself seems to have no purpose. It is just empty. The glass facade offers great views on the skyscrapers inthe background. I left the Modern Art Building on the other side and came to a huge Arch of Victory, obviously a protected landmark in the heart of the town.

Impressions of Grauland November 2021 (3): Modern Art Building

I continued exploring the redlight district and found more hidden backyards, bars, a garage amd even a furnished flat, which you enter through a door teleporter. The atmosphere of Grauland is very dense and feels authentic. Jim selected the textures, the all paintings and racelights very well and I’m pretty sure that I missed many details. It is very well made!

Impressions of Grauland November 2021 (4): The redlight district

Finally I visited the beach and the pier. That’s quite a contrast to the town. At the end of the pier is a hut where you can sit inside like in a sailor’s club and outside you have a nice view on the sea or backwards to the town with it’s skyscrapers in the background. At the beach you also find a nice campfire.

Impressions of Grauland November 2021 (5): pier, beach and campfire

JimGarand has once again re-invented Grauland and surprised me with a totally different design. The setting and the atmosphere of Grauland are very fitting. The art is not too dominant, yet present and the Modern Art Building gives enough reason to speculate about its purpose (if any). Thank you Jim, in particular for sharing your sim with the public again.

Art in Second Life 2021 (83) “Marking the Twain” by London Junkers

After my visit to the exhibition “Sinners and Saints” (read here) I had contact to London Junkers, one of the artists who contributed to “Sinners and Saints”.

London invited me to see his latest exhibtion at United Artists of SL (UASL). The exhibition is called “Marking the Twain“. At the entrance you get an important hint “Welcome to London Junker’s Marking the Twain, to enjoy this installation better please use midnight setting or use Shared environment, then read the story in the poster on the entrance billboard. Thank you. enjoy.”

I won’t publish the whole story here, as it would spoil your experience, just a few words to understand what you can see and experience when visiting:
“Standing atop that old steamer boat with clouds touching us while we flew across the skies; his face was familiar, rigid and wise, and he looked majestic against the thin line on the horizon, where the gray light exploded in a boom of colour with his presence.
He was the captain of that ship. THe captain of that creature I was riding on my way South. And I guess I was a cadet under his command…..
His name was Samuel, oh yeah, I remember that name, and boy if I loved the man who owned itm and all those Summer days and starry nights, when we went on all our adventures, together, marking the twain.”
(London Junkers)

Impressions of “Marking the Twain” by London Junkers (1)

The installation has just a few elements. There’s the big old steamer boat that flies over the water and touches the cloulds. It is a big boat and on the upper deck you can recognize Samuel, standing there tall and confident having full control. On your way to the steamer boat you may notice a fisher on the shore. But he’s not fishing fish. Intead you see letters floating on the water.

Some ink drops into the water from a big fountain pen .. forming the letters.. that will once become a story. You must just fish the right letters and put them together in the right way. One who was alble to do that was Mark Twain. The steamer boat with all it’s details stands for his most renowned story about Huckleberry Finn and Tom Sawyer. I admit I only read this one book of Mark Twain,

You can find some details on the steamer boat, like the golden bell in front of it. Or like benches with books from mark twain laying on them.

Impressions of “Marking the Twain” by London Junkers (2)

The installation along with the beautiful written story is one piece of art, they belong together.

I’ve never been to United Artists of SL (UASL) before: “UASL is a relaxed group of artists in SL that share and communicate regarding various art events and opportunities open to the artist community. We encourage people to use their imagination and to continue to learn different methods of creating art. We fully support other artist groups. As well, we manage and host our own events. This is for art related events, not club or DJ events.”
UASL offers several different areas for artist to experiment or to exhibit. UASL has a management team consisting of Riannah Avora, CheloBaron and RainCat Furstinna of North (vihmakass).
For more information either visit their website or read the notecard that you will get when you visit “Marking the Twain” by London Junkers.

Thank you London for your installation. I enjoyed my visit!
Thank you UASL for enabling this installation.

Backflash August 2021 – “New slave midsummer outfit” (August 2016)

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 our Second Life without reading back the many posts and it might also give reason to browse through the archives.
For August 2021 I scrolled back 5 years and selected a little series of post from August 2016: “New slave midsummer outfit”.

Enjoy reading!

New slave midsummer outfit (Aug 3rd, 2016)

Monday, August 1st, we began to fit our slaves into their new midsummer outfit. It is according to midsummer something very little – a naughty harness colourable in 100 different colours and reveals the slave’s breasts and pussies. We added a RR armbinder and just to be prepared for any misbehaving a RR ringgag. That’s it – simple and sexy. slave Nina and slave cecy were the first who were put in their next outfit. When we were done and satisfied with their appearance Mistress Jenny and I took the slaves to Mesmerize Dungeon to expose them.

New slave midsummer outfit (2) (Aug 4th, 2016)

Tuesday, August 2nd, we put slave Flo in her new midsummer outfit. She choosed yellow and that’s quite outstanding. Pauline asked to joined and for her we selected a green harness. So far the slaves are yellow (Flo), cyan (cecy), red (Nina) and green (Pauline). Should we call them by their colours? At least a nice idea, isn’t it? After fitting the new outfit we took the the yellow, the cyan and the green slave to Lochme and enjoyed some chatting and banter.

Some more colours to come ….

New slave midsummer outfit (3) (Aug 5th, 2016)

When slave Adarra came online Wednesday night (August 3rd) she was the next slave to be fitted into the midsummer outfit. She choose blue.

August 3rd - at home: Mistress Jenny, slaves red, cyan, yellow, Diomita and slave blue

August 3rd – at home: Mistress Jenny, slaves red, cyan, yellow, Diomita and slave blue

We went to The Secret House that night and had a nice chat. slave blue did enhance the new outfit creating a little tattoo for the cleavage with two “Maurer roses” and the letter “M”. If you take a closer look at the tattoo inworld you’ll notice the roses do have 4 thorns each. So you can also consider them to symbolize Mistress Jenny and me and our 8 subs & slaves.

August 3rd - at TSH: slave red, Diomita, slave yellow, slave blue, slave cyan and Mistress Jenny

August 3rd – at TSH: slave red, Diomita, slave yellow, slave blue, slave cyan and Mistress Jenny

New slave midsummer outfit (4) (Aug 6th, 2016)

It looks as if the slaves have a little conspiracy. They show up one after the other each night. On Thursday night (August 4th) it was slavin C who was fitted into her midsummer outfit. This time I choose for her as I got used to have her in pink. So she became slavin pink. After she was dressed I put out three kinky cushions fitting in colour with the three present slaves yellow, cyan and pink. While Mistress Jenny and I cuddled on the bench we watched the slaves riding the dildos with increasing lust.

August 4th: slaves yellow, cyan and pink enjoying the kinky cushions while Mistress and I cuddle

Later we went to Mesmerize dungeon for the slaves to cool down after riding the dildo’s and for chatting. We met slave L there who you might remember from last year where she joined some bondage fun. She makes a contrast to our slaves.

August 4th at MD: slave L, Diomita, slave pink, Mistress Jenny, slave yellow and slave cyan

August 4th at MD: slave L, Diomita, slave pink, Mistress Jenny, slave yellow and slave cyan

Now just one slave is missing to be put into her midsummer oufit, sklavin Gebby…..

Backflash July 2021 – “LICK – Heaven or Hell” (July 2016)

by diomitamaurer in Backflash of the month Tags: , , , , ,

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 our Second Life without reading back the many posts and it might also give reason to browse through the archives.
For July 2021 I scrolled back once again 5 years and selected a post from July 2016: “LICK – Heaven or Hell”
Actually today i would categorize this post under “Exploring sims in Second Life” or eventually under “Art in Second Life”, but these categories didn’t exist yet when this post was written.
The landmark provided with the original post doesn’t exist anymore, the sim is gone. That is no surprise after 5 years. Nonetheless my post and my pictures still exist. And also the video on youtube about the sim (it is a bit lengthy with over 50 minutes) still exists. Enjoy reading!

LICK – Heaven or Hell

What a title (!). Actually this post is not what you think it might be about. “Heaven or Hell” is a sim in Second Life. I found it browsing through the SL destination guide under the tag “Art”. The descrpiton doesn’t say that much “Has your fate been decided for you or will you decide? Choose wisely, choose carefully. And remember you can always check out but you can never leave. Turn your sounds up and get ready for the ride.”

July 23rd: Diomita visiting "Heaven or Hell"

July 23rd: Diomita visiting “Heaven or Hell”

At the landing point you have to decide to go to heaven or to hell. Btw. have you ever thought about why there is as stariway to heaven but a highway to hell? I like the text between the two doors “When you think of heaven and hell, you already have images in your meind of what you think it should look like. No right or wrong they are your images and these are mine“. Mine refers to Sera Bellic, who owns this sim and “LICK” sim design.  “LICK sim design offers complete sim/parcel design, landscaping and interior design. LICK is dedicated to creating beautiful, enchanting spaces for your home or business.” Back to my simploring. I decided to see hell first. For going to hell you step downstairs into a dark area, fire is everywhere, it looks very hot.

July 23rd: Diomita stepping down to hell

July 23rd: Diomita stepping down to hell

Walking around you see some dead bodies, some cages and some steam fountains erupting through the hot ground, the eternal fire of hell is around you. After a while I found the entrance to go further down to hell, a tunnel system that is connecting caves. Skeletons and skulls lie on the ground everywhere and dinosaur skeletons guard the entrances to the caves. You can hear screams every once in a while when your sound is turned up. Scary? Yes.

July 23rd: Diomita in hell

July 23rd: Diomita in hell

Ok, the hell did meet my expectations, my images and what I’ve been told about hell when I was a kid. But how will heaven look alike? Good news is, in Second Life you can see both :-).  So I stepped up from hell and went further upstairs to heaven. Heaven is a beautiful and peaceful place, an harmonic landscape.

July 23rd: On my way from hell to heaven

July 23rd: On my way from hell to heaven

July 23rd: Diomita in heaven

July 23rd: Diomita in heaven

Ok, the heaven did not meet exactly my expectations. I saw no angels and I didn’t hear plainchants and I didn’t walk on clouds. Shame! :-). But heaven in SL is still nice. I walked a bit around and found 2 spots that did make up with my expectations. Firstly I walked over a bridge build of violins and secondly I visited the only house in heaven and obviously the angels get their wings there.

July 23rd: Diomita walking over the bridge of violins

One last remark: I my imagination the word “LICK” can mean heaven sometimes *winks*

If you don’t want to go the “Heaven and Hell” yourself you can also watch a video from Andrew Carvin that is a bit lengthy though here. Thank you Sera Bellic for this piece of imagination of heaven and hell.

For our readers the new series shall provide an insight into our Second Life without reading back the many posts and it might also give reason to browse through the archives.
For June 2021 I scrolled back 5 years and selected 2 posts from June 2016.
The first post is from June 25th, 2016 and titled “Another full house” and shows me with slave cecy, slavin C, slave Adarra, sklavin Gebby and slave Nina. They all have left us and we can only hope that they are doing well.
The second post is from June 13th and titled “The slaves”. I had made a picture with all 10 (!) slaves, subs and applicants we had around us 5 years ago. What a collection!
Enjoy reading….

Another full house (June 25th, 2016)

Thursday night was short as I was home late. And I found a full house of slaves when I arrived. Of course I couldn’t resist to take a picture (well, several pictures) of them.

June 23rd: A full house of slaves - Diomita at home with slave cecy, slavin C, slave Adarra. sklavin Gebby and slave Nina (1)

Thursday night it was slave Nina’s turn to get (ab)used. She also got aquainted with our office desk. In order that we don’t mix up the slaves those who were used lately wear the bag gag… slave Nina is number 4 … still some to go *winks*. The night was short but enjoyable … and the slaves sweated inworld and in RL.

June 23rd: A full house of slaves – Diomita at home (ab)using slave Nina and slave cecy, slavin C, slave Adarra and sklavin Gebby watching

The slaves (June 13th, 2016)

Over a month ago we put slave Flo into her red latex catsuit adding a red latex hood with black eyepads and a blonde pony tail. That day the new outfit for our slaves came to life. The outfit has been further developed and slave Adarra first added the “Maurer”-rose to the left buttock, then the national flag of the slave’s residence on the right buttock. Every slave got a different colour in a shade of red, pink, violet or liliac. And not only our permanently owned and collar slaves Flo, Gebby, Adarra, cecy and Nina were dressed accordingly but also Kitty. In addition we had or have slave Po, slave Mii, slavin C and slave Pauline in the very same outfit. In total 10 (!) slaves. When we go out, they add colour to every sim and they attract attention, in particular when they come online together. Everywhere we go with the slaves we get compliments and also application to join the group.
When I publish pictures here in the blog I refrain from telling who’s who. I can only guess how difficult it is to distinguish them, in particular when you don’t see the flag on their buttocks. The slaves will stay in their outfit at least until end of June so there will be more to report about them and there will be more pictures. In May I had in mind to put an enjoying bondage picture together showing all slaves on the naughty slut platform in Lochme but I gave up this plan as it was a bit to ambitious to get all slaves aligned in the right position. Instead I made a little collage of all slaves together with Jenny and me. I hope you like it – I am pretty sure that all 10 slaves are in the picture. Just let me know if I mixed them up *winks*

Diary 2021 (74) Jund 3rd/4th – 10 years Eurobrat HQ at Mount Everest

20 Jun 2021 Leave a comment

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

After the full and varied day before, Thursday, June 3rd was quiet and relaxed. I met with Jenny in the morning, right before she had to leave. She was about to travel visiting her family, hence it was an extra for us to see eachother.

June 3rd: Mrs and Mrs Maurer at home

I was inworld again in the afternoon and tried out outfits for our Friday night party. I send out a pre-announcement for it:
“Tomorrow marks the 10th anniversary of our Friday night party at Mount Everest as well as the 10th anniversary of the sim itself. So let’s go back to the future and dress retro or come as you are … we will have a contest for the best outfit. Enjoy dj Virgo’s great music and come and celebrate with us.”
I found something nice, an outfit that I acquired 10 years ago – and it really looks 10 years old, as Second Life has improved a lot in particular with regard to avatar appearance.
I changed back and spent some time at Heavy Bondage Club and had a chat with Angelique.

I was inworld again early at night and went on a simploring tour, very enjoyable. slave Elena (Elenaslv Serenity) came inworld and after I had finished my tour, I picked her up at home and met with Angelique. We went to Carnal Intentions. I chatted with Angelique and slave Elena and time went by quickly. Later slave Holly joined us. After Angelique had left to bed, I stayed at Carnal Intentions with slave Elena and slave Holly – and Jenny came inworld. Her connection was weak yet good enough to chat at least. We had time to catch up with our mutual news RL and SL. slave Holly left early as she was feeling a bit under the weather.

June 3rd: Jenny, Diomita, Angelique, slave Elena and slave Holly at Carnal IntentionsJune 3rd: Jenny, Diomita, Angelique, slave Elena and slave Holly at Carnal Intentions

And that’s it about Thursday.

Friday, June 4th, I was inworld during the day and visited another gallery. And at night I was early online to prepare our party. slave Elena was at my feet and slave Holly cleaned the house for the weekend. Our party was great. We had fun with our retro oufits, talked about old times as well as about current issues. It has to be noticed that the oldest equipment at our dance floor is Virgo tip jar, which she used already when the party was held at the Bratz-Club.
Jenny came inworld as well. We danced and enjoyed the start into our weekend. And we had our contest, which was a little extra fun.

June 4th – 10 years Eurobrat HQ at Mount Everest / 10 years Firday night party: Della Randt, Angelique, Starbright Wingtips, Jenny, Diomita, slave Holly, slave Elena, Dely Ebony (krysbia), slave Melissa, illa Quan (upper row), Tinker Vel (Velika47), Sara (SaraRandall), Astra Nebula, Firefly Starlight, Baroness Capelo, Claven Albatros, Scheherazade Enchantment, Talos (Talosborn), Kira Skytower, Virgo Babii

Della Randt got the most votes (5) followed by Angelique (3) and Starbright Wingtips (2) … and several others with 1 vote. Congratulations to all! We hope for many years to come for our Friday Night party and for our home.

Simploring 2021 (21) Krak Bak Caye by Elizabeth Jewell at The Sim Quarterly

29 May 2021 Leave a comment

by diomitamaurer in Exploring sims in Second Life Tags: , , , , , , ,

As a member of her group “Nantes” I got an invite from Elizabeth Jewell (ElizabethNantesJewell) to visit her newest creation “Krak Bak Caye” as Simquarterly.

Krak Bak Caye is inspired by Caulker Caye, an island off the coast of Belize. Krak Bak means “relax” in Kroil Patios, the language spoken here besides English.
The landmark brought me to a sky platform with an airport for small planes admist the rain forest. A friendly hostess greated me: “Hi Diomita, and welcome to Krak Bak Caye by Elizabeth Jewell at The Sim Quarterly! Happy you’re here! Krak Bak Caye is just a short flight. If your reservation was for the Resort please take the closest plane. If you want to start your visit at Main Street take the farthest plane. Just click the plane’s stairs to start your journey!“

Landing at Krak Bak Caye by Elizabeth Jewell at The Sim Quarterly

I got the advice to turn my sound on (I did) and I got a “Tourist guide”, a booklet to rezz or to attach as a HUD with more information about Krak Bak Caye. The sound is very well done and fitting, the tourist guide is just great and made me feel as if I were on a short vacation in RL.
I took the closest plane and traveled to the resort (the teleport takes you to the ground level).

The resort “The Reef” is just as you picture your stay at a luxury resort in the Caribbean, a modern welcoming reception building with a reception, places to meet and great pictures. And the vacation homes at the beach are wonderful.

I began exploring, came along “The Split”, a narrow waterway dividing the island in two. It’s said that is was cause be hurricane Hattie in 1961, but villagers maintain that it was hand-dredged after Hurrican Hattie opened a passage a few inches deep.
I visited “Jronkin Lizard”, a strand bar and café, I came along rezzer for paddling and for windsurfing. I didn’t try them out but i can imagine it is great fun. Close by the bar is a “Krak Bak Caye” sign which is said to be an attraction. I really can imagine that such a sign would be a landmark for tourists to take pictures (and I did that in Second Life *winks*)

Continuing my walk I came to the main street, the other desination I could have taken at the landing airport. It is a small town with more bars and restaurants, souvenir shops, bike rentals, motel and some more stores. The main street offers quite some nice details and great motifs for photographers.

And finally I visited “The Blue Hole”, a marine sinkhole. It is filled with ocean life and much to discover if you’re a snorkler or SCUBA enthusiast.
I roamed aroud the island a lot and searched for other wildlife. According to the tourist guide you could see quite some birds at Krak Bak Caye. I could hear them (keep the sound on, the background noise is very realistic and adds a lot to the vacation feeling) yet unfortunately I didn’t see any – maybe just like in RL *winks*.

ElizabethNantesJewell Resident, known as Elizabeth Jewell, finds sim design relaxing, a positive focus, and a creative outlet that she can not only do from home, but also share with others. “That’s the real enjoyment, when I see other people feeling good visiting my sim!” she stated.
I have seen quite some creations of Elizabeth Jewell (ElizabethNantesJewell). Back in 2016 and 2017 I visited “Follow Your Bliss” (read here, here and here). In 2018 I visited Nantes (read here) and the Nantes Gallery (read here). Elizabeth Jewell (elizabethnantesjewell) still owns Nantes and Fusion City (located above Fleur de Sel), which is also home of Nantes Gallery. And in 2020 I visited “Ghosts of Jericho”, another sim built by Elizabeth at “Sim Quarterly” (read here).

Impressions of Krak Bak Caye by Elizabeth Jewell at The Sim Quarterly (4) – The Blue Hole / The Split

Sim Quarterly is a sim and initiative of Electric Monday:
“Art and the virtual world, Second Life© are very similar — you are able to both find yourself and immerse yourself (and maybe even lose yourself) in something totally unlike what you already know. The experiences you gain help you grow and form new opinions about the world. That is what I hope this sim can provide over time. I am very excited to bring to you a quarterly art project by way of The Sim Quarterly.
The project features one creator every 3 months (every quarter) as an artist in residence. The purpose of the sim is so that residents can experience something new and even create a community.”
Sim Quarterly has an own website.

I had a lot of fun visiting Krak Bak Caye! Thank you Elizabeth for this beautiful installation that provided a short vacation for me. And thank you Electric Monday for providing The Sin Quarterly for installations like this one. I learned that you made the great sound and all the graphics on the invites and posters.

Krak Bak Caye by Elizabeth Jewell at The Sim Quarterly will stay open for the public until July 25th.

The BDSM Collaborative Hunt – May 15th – May 31st

Currently a BDSM Hunt is taking place in Second Life. More then 20 sims are participating in the hunt. On every sim you can collect gifts and while you search for the gifts – you explore the sims. The hunt started on May 15th and ends on May 31st – but you can visit the sims anytime even after the hunt. For me visiting is a nice variation and hopefully I find new places to stay and to have fun.
There is a website with all the landmarks and with clues where to find the gifts. I will use this website as a little directory of places to visit.

So far I saw New Libertine Shibari Court, a place with many many Shibari devices in a nice surrounding. I saw Bellaure Manor & slave storage, another BDSM sim which seems to have also a nice community. I visited Dark Discipline, which is not only a BSDM sim but even more a very well made setting with nice views. I was at the House of Odds and I visited Tempelhof. At Tempelhof you can make a scavenger hunt for one price. The setting of Tempelhof is extraordinairy and full of details and furnished houses. I had really fun with the hunt.

As I mentioned above there are many more sim participating in the BDSM Collaborative Hunt and I will visit more of them, but I wanted to publish a quick post as long as the hunt is going on. But the sims can be visited anytime. Thank you all, who initiated this event.

Thank you, Jenny. I love you!
