Bev’s retreat

Beverly Ultsch made a place as lovely and tricky as herself.

Her retreat, as she calls it, is a beautiful mix of landscapes and natural wonders conveying all the emotions the owner wants to fill your heart with.

An ideal tropical beach comes complete with its palm trees slowly swinging under a soft breeze, dolphins graciously playing in the distance while you lounge on a white carpet of soft sand, the crispy blue ocean laying its foamy tide at your feet.

Walk along the shore, pass the pony race track, yes, you pony players are going to enjoy this place for countless sweaty hours, and enter the thick colored wood at the bottom of the cliff. Right in the middle, an old and huge tree has a ladder resting against its tortuous trunk. Climb it and reach the secret platform among the branches. Bring your own chair and enjoy the song of the birds, the sweet melody of the wind and the regular moaning of the waves licking the shore beyond the trees.

The ruins at the top of the cliff will wrap your heart with a strange melancholy. Bare arches standing in the wind, ancient walls resisting the assaults of time offer the harsh beauty of their stones to the broken cries of the ravens. Bats abound too, they guard the grave which gloomy tombstone is just waiting for your name to be carved in.

Not far from the cliff a lighthouse proudly pierces the sky, planted on an island which imposing rocks conceal more than one secret.

There’s definitely much more to see there and much more to do. Beverly is an expert at planning and creating some evil traps and she had the time of her life carefully hiding the most dreadful fruits of her imagination among the gracious shapes and the beautiful angles of her sim.

One has to be extremely careful there. This lovely path could lead you to some dark place where no one will ever find you.

Beverly truly managed to give shape to a sharp expression of beauty reflecting the gorgeous light she keeps inside like a perfect cage lost in the middle of the ocean.

Pay a visit to the strange wonderland she built and try not to become its permanent guest !

Bare Rose Tokyo

Okay okay, I am pretty sure that most of you already know this place but, hey, there maybe some newbie around who never heard of it so lets go. Most of the items crammed into the clothing file of my inventory come from the shop Bare Rose Tokyo.

 This more often than not heavily crowded fashion mall offers an unique and vast collection of outfits. Bare Rose fashion is colorful, highly imaginative and definitely exquisitely crafted. Whatever your style is you won’t leave this place empty handed: casual, goth, fantasy, sci fi or Japanese traditional, all genres collide and mix so just to be sure that what you are going to wear won’t be seen anywhere else.

I never bought anything there more than 180 lindens, often less than that and every outfit came into more than one colour and was loaded with highly detailed sculpted props. Yes, definitely the place where one can afford quality without smashing her piggy bank into pieces.

Adjusting hell

I decided to delete my shibari ropes set after spending one hour trying IN VAIN to adjust it. The process was just killing these old and tired eyes of mine and I finally gave up looking good in ropes. Bax boots have this auto-adjust feature that seems to work fine and I sincerely hope that future will bring us restraints supporting the same technology. Marine did and does a fantastic job and I proudly leave my keys out the wonderful serious shackles she had created more often than caution would allow it but yes, please pretty please, give us stuff that we can put on right away.

I sure know nothing about scripting and building and merely give my user point of view here. I am certain that technology and the way SL works today can’t enable creators to work the way they would like to and give birth to the perfect tools they would love to offer us.

I just want to look good in ropes and not kill my eyes trying to reach this goal.

And again, I love everything Marine does. Besides her blog is full of great information and when she wears what she created, well, let just say that things suddenly get very very interesting.

But I still want to look good in ropes.

Sunday bloody Sunday

Sunday evening in grey Paris and I have to understand that my sweet Gabrille won’t come back in SL, at least not soon in spite of the fact that she didn’t turn off her profile yet .

My lovely Voltek comes less and less often being kept really busy by RL, a good thing she still has a tiers to pay so we have a chance to meet once in a month and express how we miss each other. Her beautiful garden, the new wonderful house she built all look empty now and the magic she puts in everything she touches or does gradually fades away.

Beverly granted me the honor of becoming a warden in her new sim and I love to go there, to rest on the beach listening to the song of the tide and thinking about the dear ones who chose to go away. Beverly and I had some binding fun recently and it is hard to express how pleasant and exciting sharing bondage with such a love is. I still owe her more than 100 hours in bondage because I lost at the simple yet wicked card game she had installed and being in the mood I am now, I definitely wouldn’t mind finding myself bound and left alone somewhere no one could find me. Beverly and I share the same feelings about how certain things should be done when capturing someone and we both definitely enjoy bondage for the sake of it.

She is a true love but I sadly have to admit that the kind of SL breakdown I am experiencing now prevents me from enjoying what this virtual world has to offer the way I am supposed to. I feel like a ghost and certainly must be a very disappointing piece of avatar.

 Well, I managed to kick my latex ass bad enough to fill this blog with entries again so I guess that the future doesn’t look that gloomy.

Back alive and kickin’

Well, I guess that saying sorry for the delay won’t be enough as this delay should be capped with an extremely huge and bold D. What can I say folks, RL and some more RL, long days and short evenings.

So I had my age verified, my account verified and I updated the viewer. So far the only interesting stuff I saw in this new adult continent are the secret spots Voltek managed to discover during our first visit, an underwater cave with some magic fauna and a reservoir full of surprises where a giant toad is still left to be captured.

I really enjoyed this first visit, flying over empty plains and whispering forests in the wind, roaming along rivers which grassy banks were still clubs and marina free.

I went back since, only to find a collection of your typical porno a go-go malls and resorts crammed in between discos and clubs bathed in all their neon glory.

A good thing most of my favourite sims didn’t have to move there.

Go west young avatar and grow with the virtual country before it’s too late.
