Hugo's Design - Pris and Lexie 2

Deirdre
A friend and Hugo fan called to warn me Pris was “scanty”... my friends know me well, it seems.

While I can’t say it was love at first sight, the outfit *is* interesting. The trademark Hugo clothes-layer straps and buckles look great, and the center latex piece is interesting.

This outfit is not for mixing : you need to wear two tops if you want the pasties, and trying it on over a catsuit didn’t look great.

So a play outfit for bedroom or dungeon, if you like ‘em scanty. Lelo, get me my cape, sweetie, I’m cold ;)

lelo
After a short pause Erik is back with something new, but don’t get your hopes up, it's not much. *winks*

Just kidding : the little bag containing Lexie 2 is filled to the brim, 23 items in all, but they don’t cover much.

You get 3 options with Lexie 2: closed, closed with seams and open, where open would lose us our PG rating. *smiles*

I went for the seamed version and added the supplied stockings and gloves, as well as 3 layers of pasties. ((sorry no lovely hearts this time))

You get every imaginable layer with this one so you can mix and match to your hearts content.

Pony Soccer

On Tuesday the 22nd I was able to attend the pony soccer game held at Master Maxwell's soccer field. This has been arranged and was for 2 teams of 3 ponies.

Sadly, only 3 ponies turned up, so, being the trooper I am, i decided that instead of sitting in the spectators stand, I would tack up and join in, making 2 teams of 2 ponies.

And I have to say I am glad I did.

At first, the whole thing seemed clunky and awkward, no running is allowed and so once the opponent is past you with the ball, there isn't much you can do but hope they miss.

And so we went one goal down.

Luckily, my team mate was better at this variation of Soccer, and pulled it back level almost instantly. I was still trying to figure out how to make a sliding tackle.

The game progressed going end to end with me largely just seeming to make up the numbers. going from a score of 1-1 to 2-1, then 2-2, and 3-2 and so on.

But then something strange happened. Our opponents lost the ball, and Jo, my team mate, gave us a clear lead.

I have to admit, the time went really quickly, and I did eventually manage to get my name on the scoreboard, more than once in fact.

The final score was something like 40-31 and I was bearing down on goal when the full time was called. Being a glory pony, I ran a little further and hoofed the ball.

Into the back of the net to score the last goal of the night. Shame it didn't count.

It was all just for fun, and is a regular event at the soccer field. After the game, ribbons and a small cash thank you were awarded to the ponies and then a pool party.

It was good fun, though lag and control are two issues that weighed heavily on me at the time, I totally enjoyed myself, and would definitely play again.

So, next time you see the soccer event listed, give it a go, you never know, you might like it.

Pet - Personal Fetish Shopper

Today we have a special treat. Every post before this was of a product or place : today we feature a service. Diaperedpet Jewell is a good friend of ours, and a personal shopper for fetish lovers in SL. With encyclopedic knowledge (she frequently tips us off!) of the clothes, boots, and toys we love, she can take you to that perfect outfit or toy.

Deirdre Young: How long have you been shopping in Second Life? And how long have you been offering your services as a personal shopper?

Diaperedpet Jewell: I have been shopping in SL, ever since someone told me my clothes were shabby and took me by the hand and helped me out, I have been offering my services, for about two years now.

DY: Who were your first clients? friends, references?

Pet: My first clients were my sisters, but my Mistress would introduce me to her Domme friends, and she would mention my custom clothes, and the Dommes would ask for something special, and that's how it started.

I used my good relationship with store owners to help out people who wanted something unique and custom.

DY: Ahh. Yes, you do like your custom designs :) Do you find most designers are willing to do custom work ?

Pet: Some are, but you need to be friends and be genuine, not fake. Designers can see right through that, but I was absolutely sincere, I loved their creations and would use proper manners when I asked for their time in making me something special and one of a kind, keeping in mind that they have a store to run and that's first priority.

DY: So suppose I wanted your help.. how would we proceed?

Pet: You would IM me, and we would talk. I would look at what clothes you’re wearing, learn your style, your favorite colors, and take you to certain stores.

If you tell me you want leather, I'm taking you to XTC or Avid; if you say elegant, intimate latex, then it's Hugo's. If you tell me Industrial Latex, then I choose Latex Station because of the look.

If you’re specific and maybe want theme latex, then I would take you to Kayliwulf Kingdom for the sheer number of designs, but I'm going to listen to you first, then escort you to stores you don’t already know.

DY: Have you had challenging requests?

Pet: Yes absolutely. I hunt down anything people want, so one guy had me find him a pair of World War 2 German boots, and they were quite tough to find. That was probably my hardest. Currently I am escorting some Dommes to get ballroom dresses for a ballroom dance at Estate Obscure Friday.

DY: What's the typical cost for a shopping trip with you?

Pet: I don't charge per hour, people usually give me fair and good tips. Personal shopping is something I love doing so much, I could do it all day. It's a thrill seeing someone happy with the results and time you put into making them pleased.

Sometimes I get ripped off, other times I have been tipped 20,000 L, but honestly a few thousand is polite, because I'm taking my time to help you, and I am going to insure you are happy and satisfied

DY: Do you get a lot of repeat business?

Pet: it's truly an honor when Domme friend's of mine say "pet dresses me, or pet is my clothier" and they recommend me, I get lots of repeat business and I always send my friends LM's or let them know if I see something they will enjoy.

DY: Anything you'd like to say as a conclusion?

Pet: I'm easy to approach, and me helping you, allows you more time to spend with your girls or whatever you enjoy doing.

Deirdre again : I’ll just add that we spoke to satisfied customers of Pet’s and they were uniformly satisfied (impressed, too!) with Pet’s services.

Latex Station - Outlet Store and Lena Catsuit

Deirdre
Introducing Lena, Latex Station’s latest release. I’ll let lelo give you the facts, and I’ll stick to the gossip ;)

Well, news, really : Chill3 just opened an awesome-looking outlet store, featuring her older designs, freeing the main store for her upcoming releases. (In fact, we just visited it, and it’s full... so she’s opening a second outlet next week!) As you'd expect in an outlet, prices are chopped by 50%.

As for location, it’s in the Freedom continent, a very neat place you should be aware of, and which we’ll be covering soon. Let’s just say she’s next door to Bondage Ranch and Think Kink ;)

There’s a big revamp coming to the main store as well : no more space station, and the architecture will be similar to the outlet’s.. and I have to say, I loved it at first sight. More as it develops.

We’re a fetish blog, so I’ll get back to topic : Chill3 sent me a pic of her latest release for men, called Paco, and I promised I’d show it to you even though we lost our male model. (hint hint, fellows!)

lelo
The Lena catsuit is the latest creation from Latex Station for the girls and comes in transparent, silver, red, purple, pink, orange, blue and black.

You get 3 pants options: the catsuit version Mistress is wearing, the jazz pants i’m wearing and a bathing suit option.

You also get a pair of matching stockings and gloves in the pack.

The texturing is very good, with well-placed highlights and some lovely laces on the front and the back.

The Lena is another attempt of Chill to get latex into mainstream clothing and i must say she did a great job, not church wear yet, but good clubbing wear any day.

Dire Fang - ShadowBox

Deirdre
We were introduced to Miika by Pet (and we’ll even tell you who Pet is soon!) when she began creating an interesting picture frame some time back, and the project evolved into this elegant and original piece of art : the ShadowBox, by Dire Fang.

This is more than a simple frame : if you look closely at the contents, you’ll note that they’re on different planes, giving a stunning impression of depth.

Each element was created in a 3D program, and rendered, brought in Photoshopped, tweaked, massaged, and hairsprayed in place - who am I kidding, I know 3D design like cats know Tuesday.

The finished product, then, benefits from the expertise of someone who understands 3D, giving you a trompe-l’oeil display to showcase your favorite doll.

There are five different boxes at the moment, with more in the works that should include background packs, multiple avatar poses, and positioning features.

Miika would be very happy to receive feedback, so if you get a box, don’t hesitate to call and let her know how you like it.

lelo
Now here’s something new, how about putting your loved one in a piece of art, Miika from Dire Fang has made it possible.

The ShadowBox as she calls it is a 3D piece of art, in which you can lock up your favorite doll.

The box is fully RLV compatible and with the right relay it takes control of what the vict.. ehh artwork can see.

The controls can be set to an owner or public and for the self-bondage lovers there is a timer function, though be careful, if the controls are set to public you might spent some time as a nice piece of art.

Lovely bit of original thinking and great execution the 3d art is superb, keep an eye on Miika, i’m sure there is more exciting stuff coming from her.

ImpWerks - Hyper Gloss Latex Catsuit.

Deirdre
We always have an eye out for interesting textures and shines, and this candy apple shine catsuit definitely caught our attention.

ImpWerks calls it Hyper Gloss Latex, and I have to agree. When you look at it just right, the reflections are quite impressive.

The vendor pics are cleverly accessorized - good idea, showing an example of what can be done, but it would have been fun to name the store where the extras may be purchased.

The price is excellent - it may encourage you to get all the colors ;)

The store is absolutely brilliant, using the land features in a truly clever way I hadn’t seen before. Definitely worth visiting Lower Wythburn. (A wyth, a wyth! Burn her!)

lelo
Ok POC is still king of the shiny latex but ImpWerks has added a lovely skyline to the reflection.

In the box you get all the layers except for the jacket, but most of you will wear your corset there anyway. *winks*

The catsuit comes in ebony (black), ice (white), amethyst (purple), neon blush (pink), starlight (blue) and the candy apple (red) i’m wearing here.

A great cheap base that will brighten up any outfit, so go get yours before they run out.

TrilobiteWare

A long standing creator of many fetish items, including pony tack, and one long overdue for including here.

Vendors offer a selection of hooves, tails, harnesses and latex catsuits as well as hooves and tails.

You can also buy a complete pony set which includes everything needed to get a pony started.

The show hooves set are lockguard and lockmeister compatible, and so can be used in conjunction with other restraining devices you may have.

One of the more unique items available here is the flicky tails - animated tails that flick and swish.. a nice touch.

Trilobite has been around for what seems like eternity, and so is a must-visit store for anyone looking to change or acquire new tack.

Be sure to visit either the main adult store, or the satellite stores.

---

On a side note, I have been wondering just why it is that no one has yet made a viewer 2 compatible set of pony hooves?

Surely, an alpha layer hoof set would eliminate the need for invisiprims, which will in turn reduce lag a little.

Something I feel sure many ponies would appreciate.

So come on designers of pony tack, why not give it a go and make the ponies of SL happier by giving us what we want.

Nice looking hooves that do not rely on invisiprims! Please!

By the way, don't forget to keep checking our Pony Directory. It is now well under way, and packed full of landmarks to go train your pony.

(Or if you are a pony, landmarks of all the places I have found so far that cater to ponyplay.)

And don't forget the Stores and Upcoming Events sections to keep up to date with your tack, and join in some friendly competition.

MayCreations - Xtreme Snake Leather Boots

Deirdre
Some nice new ankle boots for my (surprisingly small) collection, these are the Xtreme Snake Leather boots from MayCreations.

As they’re v2 only (theoretically), I had to do a bit of work to be able to wear them (attach to lower leg, fit, wear invisiprims) but they are totally worth the few minutes of effort.

The shape is quite elegant, and the laces and ankle straps are works of art. The texture is a fun snake skin print, so I wore my semi-matching Alien Leather catsuit

Maymay and her sweetie Morton are totally into the biker lifestyle, and the store is an absolutely cool hangar.. do visit and have a look, it’s worth seeing.

They're also on the SL Marketplace :
https://marketplace.secondlife.com/stores/14165

lelo
It’s been a while since a pair of boots in a mall vendor caught our eye but these did.

For me it was the impossible high arch and spiked heel with the lethal metal tip that caught my eye.

The prim work is very good, someone spent some good time on the laces and the fun little belts around the ankle.

The boots come with a simple, free walk AO, which you can use in case you don’t have your own AO, so no sexy walk in the boots, sim owners will thank you for that.

Resizing is simple, just stand on the supplied pose stand and the built-in re-sizer comes to life.

Great fashion boots with a definite kinky edge, now please make them with a hidden platform and we are bang on in Vogue. *smiles*

Eclectic Randomness - Siren Avatar

Deirdre
Tron Legacy seems to have captured the heart of designers in SL.. any metaverse reference is good, I think :)

This is the Siren avatar by Eclectic Randomness : one in black and one in white (sold separately, as they say in the commercials). The neon highlight colors almost make different outfits, and I wanted to show some of the variety here.

They’re pretty realistic, if you don’t look at the footwear, but I think Winter’s boots are more fun.

I found a large picture featuring the white Siren character, and I just had to share it with you.

And if you loved the movie, here’s a cool gallery of authentic props and costumes.

Hey, maybe someone will make a light cycles game in SL.. how cool would that be? :)

lelo
The Siren is a full V2 avatar, and comes with everything you need for your SL, well almost, sadly no partner included. *winks*

Like i said you get everything, from skin, shape and Ruth hair-cover to boots, catsuit and back pack.

All in all 23 parts in the smartly disappearing box, i just love that little, rezz, give contents, disappear, act of Winters boxes.

Ok, back to the outfit, the hair and skin, especially the make up look spot on to me. You get auburn, ebony platinum, silver, snow and steel color hair in the package.

I think she has taken a few little liberties with the costume, but it looks great to me.

With the supplied HUD you can change the neon colors on the suit, there are 18 colors to choose from, and small warning here, changing the colors is almost as addictive as popping bubble wrap.

Great looking outfit, loads of fun and more addictive than those silly executive desk toys, what more could you want. *smiles*

Bare Rose - Draida

Deirdre
Legend of the Seeker put medieval leather catsuits (a historically accurate portrayal, I feel certain) in the eye of tv viewers with the naughty Mord-Sith warriors.

This lovely outfit by Bare Rose, called Draida, is probably inspired by the Mord-Sith leather uniform, but it shows a lot more cleavage than the television show - we *do* have fewer stabbings to the chest to fear in Second Life.

The outfit comes in black and brown, and an assortment of prims to make the catsuit more armor-like. I kept the shoulder pads, but I feel the others add a bit too much bulk.

The included boots are not really earth-shattering either, but this is a good example of keeping the bits you like in an outfit rather than throwing out the baby with the bath water.

And if I can’t handle a sword so well in Bax Prestige boots... well, it’s just a chance I’ll have to take. ;)


lelo
While checking our list we found that we hadn’t been to Bare Rose in ages, so it was time for a little shopping trip.

It was amazing to see how little the store had changed in all that time, only the offer on the vendor seem to have changed.

Bare Rose still has that anime feel to most of its costumes and the sim itself, very lovely.

The outfits are original and maybe not to every ones taste, but there is so much to choose from it will be hard not to find something to your liking.

And last but not least, prices are very low, even campers can look good at these prices. *smiles*

VvB Stiletto Heels - Knee Boots and Platform Knee Boots V4

Deirdre
This blog could be the VvB channel if we let it. I swear, I don’t show you folks half the stuff we see go by. Someone has to get this girl off the espresso. ;)

Viktoria is now firmly sold to the v2 viewer, and her designs are starting to depend on alpha layer socks. No harm in it, and a tightly fitted boot on the variety of shapes in SL can’t be an easy thing.

But my little trick of adding an invisiprim to the shoes breaks down, here, and I had to use the included HUD to enlarge the boots a fair bit for a fit.

I’m a little stumped. Short of invisiprims, wearing them a little too big is the only answer I see. What I get for not moving to new technology, I’m certainly not complaining. But if anyone has a good suggestion, I’d *love* to hear it.

lelo
There is no stopping Viktoria improving her boots and shoes.

In this version 4 of the knee boots you get the lovely hud we showed you in our last VvB post, this time it gives you the resize, trim color, eyelet color and lace color controls.

Mine are in Hugo baby pink, but with some simple clicks on the hud you can really personalize them to your own taste.

As with most new boots these are made for the V2 viewer, Viktoria offers 3 different heights of alpha socks, so you can adjust how high you wear your boots.

Great looking boots, you just can’t beat a high heeled platform boot, well you can with a ballet, but that’s just me i guess. *winks*

Icing - Equestrienne

Yet another riding outfit this week, this item from Icing.

I found it while scouring the SL Marketplace for anything new that I might not have found in world.

This is a lovely vintage or formal riding set, and includes a bustle skirt, crop and veiled hat.

Perfect for those hosting a dressage event for example.

This is a wonderfully textured set, and worth getting just for the jacket alone.

Complete with prim neck scarf, this looks great and provides a good authoritarian image when training or handling your pony.

Reasonably priced, if you are looking for something different to wear to train your ponies, this will be a welcome addition to your inventory.

Catch It - Gem and Areen (turquoise)

Deirdre
Catch it is one of the growing number of designers on Fetish Consolidated, so we received the note they sent advertising the new Gem outfit and Areen boots, and the turquoise color just leaped out at me.

It’s inspired by Tron, it says in the note, and it certainly has a sci-fi look to it. Gem is also available in black, blue, green, pink, red and white - those colors referring to the trim only.

Gem comes in a wide variety of options, most of them having to do with showing more bare skin ;) See the vendor pic at the end for most of them. There are no less than seven tops included : three versions in undershirt and shirt, plus the corset in jacket layer.

The pants have a lot of variety as well, and I’m wearing them in a kind of counter-intuitive way here : to avoid having the pants layer sticking out from the boots, I have the pants on as underwear layer, and the string as pants layer - eh, it’s a superheroine thing ;)

I’m wearing Gem with the matching (but not included) Areen boots. They are no mod, but they are copy, so make a safe copy and do a little adjusting, they need it out of the box.

The Areen boots are v2 only, but with my trusty invisiprims from POC, they work well enough even for progress-resisting v1.23 users ;)

lelo
Another catchy design by Catch It, seems Pad loves to show boobs as she barely covers them.

The overall design is fresh and with the turquoise not suited for ninja use. *winks*

Still it will draw some attention on the dance floor so better get it before the next “best in Turquoise” comes along.

Keep an eye on Pad and her Catch It store, she has some original thinking you don’t see that much in SL at the moment.

Jaimie Earst Fashion - BDSM Doll

Deirdre
We hadn’t visited Latexia space station in a while, and as usual, we found new stores, and cool new designs : this one, for example, is the BDSM Doll by Jaimie Earst.

Now while this is meant as a Barbie outfit, complete with valve in the back and plastic skin (not shown here), it’s also a quite effective leather slave outfit.

It’s covered in fun buckles and straps, and the leather texture is visible from a good distance.

No shoes are included, so lelo complemented with her own KDC Needle Ballets, which go admirably well with the stockings.

A good-looking outfit, with good prims complementing the look. It’s always a joy to discover a new designer, and I look forward to seeing more designs by Jaimie

lelo
This one caught my eye for a change, i know i doesn’t happen that often with an outfit without ballets so i added them myself. *smiles*

All the other items you see are in the box you get after you rez the magic little updater that will fetch you the latest edition of the outfit.

In cloth layer you get a good looking leather corset, with loads of belts, there are belted leather arm and leg covers, also in brown leather.

In tattoo layer you get a good looking leather mask, which also has a pair of prim ear covers.

They even give you a barbie doll skin and a fun little air valve to complete the rubber doll look.

Except for the ear covers and the valve you also get 4 scripted cuffs, and the corset lock.

The corset lock controls most RLV options, the cuffs control the poses as you would expect in RL.

The RLV scripting is done by Needful PIXEL, and offers everything you might want from an outfit like this.

Great little outfit that will give you days, no weeks.. maybe even months of RP fun.

Latex Web Inc. - Black Latex Kimono

Deirdre
Alisha Ultsch introduced us to a remarkable latex lady a while back, and we became fast friends.

She’s a devoted latex lover in RL as well as a D/s lifestyle person. We hit it off immediately, and had the most remarkably thoughtful conversations I’ve had in Second Life.

I was happily surprised to run into her at POC the other day.. wearing a gorgeous Latex Web Inc. kimono!

Now she went all out and got traditional oiran hair to go with it, but that’s just how she is :)

I wasn’t going to let a wonderful occasion like that pass, so I invited her to the studio (she went “whoo...unremitting white!”) under false pretenses (“...if you have two minutes”) and we had a wonderful visit and chat, and I snapped a bunch of pictures I was pretty happy with.

She enjoyed our pose stand, was gracious and patient throughout the shoot, and even published some of the pictures in her own blog .

So I’m very happy to show you these lovely pictures of my new friend Latexladyll Galicia, and I hope you’ll enjoy them too.

lelo
After last weeks post on Darkadia it’s high time to show you one of the products that got us noticing the sim in the first place.

The latex kimono is a great mix of prim and cloth-layer parts, with 11 parts in all.

All you have to bring yourself is a skin, shape and preferable black hair.

I like the look of the big bow on the back of the obi, the shine on it is perfect.

The Geta’s are not really my taste, but they do complete the outfit in a very Japanese way.

The thing i really love are the Kanzashi, they are just such a big part of the RP going on on Darkadia.

So read the Michael Manning books, get this outfit and start enjoying the scene at Darkadia.

POC - Transparent Latex Skin

Deirdre
A fun new transparent offering from POC, this is simply called the Transparent Latex Skin.

The “New” section is near the store entrance, at the left. The model stand was a little barren when we visited, so if you want an exciting career as a POC model, call Kai Heideman ;)

This is a v2 tattoo layer, and those things are so wonderful that you wonder why the Lindens didn’t think of them seven years ago ;)

The eye and mouth holes (when applicable) are highlighted with darker strips in the same color as the latex, and I wouldn’t hate seeing Kai play around with those lines and make fun seams and shapes.

A fun foundation for all sorts of fun fetish outfits - add harnesses, cuffs, belts, collars.. and you’ll still be pretty naked but you’ll look great ;)

lelo
After a quick excursion to shoes, is Kai back doing the thing he does best, latex.

The skin is in the new tattoo layer, so you’ll keep your own face under it.

In the usual fun little POC can, you get 8 items: 4 full skins and 4 hoods.

The four skins cover you head to toe, but with a different hood : open face, medium, minimal and full face cover. The hoods are the same, with no body attached.

The last one is great for that total latex covered feel.

The skins come in all POC colors: black, blood, blue, brown, cyan, green, orange, pink, red, violet, white and yellow, though the true color only really shows on the edge of the face cut outs.

MDC - Posh Riding Outfit

I was somewhat surprised and overjoyed when I received a package from Madame from MDC. Especially when I opened the box and wore the contents.

It seems a conversation I had with her before Christmas had provided inspiration for a whole set of clothing, the highlight of which for me is the Posh Riding set.

Containing a silk blouse (also available separately), riding hat, crop with pose, gloves and latex jodhpurs in bronze.

This cuts a very sexy, elegant riding outfit, suitable for any pony trainer or owner, or just those horse owners that enjoy a little kinky dressing up for a ride.

The textures are wonderfully rendered, with just the right amount of shine and reflection without being over the top.

With the jodhpurs also available in an huge variety of colours, and Madame may even be amenable to a custom colour combination on request if required, the options are stunning.

The silk blouse includes prim collars, lapels and shirt sleeves, and again is available in a variety of colours, so any rider should be able to find a set to suit them.

Added to that the bikini and boy short and sports bra sets, and the latex polo shirts and you have a complete wardrobe for a time on the farm or ranch with your pony.

Also new is the jophpur riding boots shown in the photos. wonderfully textured and sculpted, in viewer 1 or 2, you really must get over to MDC to get your set.

Your pony will love it.

Places - Darkadia

Darkadia is a neat and unusual sim. It’s based on Michael Manning’s Spider Garden and related works, and it’s beginning to take off, after some efforts and soul-searching from Mariko Demonia and her group.

The clothing store (Latex Web Inc.) provided some of the direction : by offering directly related clothing, it supports the sim and helps the roleplayers get into things.

And roleplay is the heart of Darkadia. While they have public events (a fetish party every two weeks, among others), large parts of the castle are reserved to members.

A visitor who joins the group - by invitation - is expected to participate fairly actively. No dolls standing around chewing gum with a blank stare in here ;) Members who demonstrate proficiency and good attitude go up in ranks, and gain privileges and responsibilities.

There is quite a lot to see on the sim, aside from the store. We visited the shibari room, in particular - the Japanese theme is strong all over Darkadia, and so is the unusual, as demonstrated by the lovely and strange garden created by the late Mistress Uber Stein.

This is a creative group, as well : they hold art shows, exhibitions and there is even a fashion show coming up to which, as Mariko said, two tickets were set aside for your humble bloggers ;)

The work is far from finished. Thanks to good relations with some excellent designers (some we’ve reviewed in these pages), expect to see amazing clothes and toys from Latex Web.

We also saw a very neat naiad in a very large aquarium (go look up Hydrophidian!), and a new pony cart track now surrounds the sim thanks to Mariko reading us - we report news and sometimes we make them!

A nearby club, Le Fetiche, offers a more traditional fetish experience.

If you want more than standard poseball-sitting play, Darkadia may be for you.

Real Restraints - Armbinder

Deirdre
One day I’ll stick Marine in a cage and interview her - in the meantime, we’ll present you with some more of her terrific work : this is the Arm Binder by Marine Kelley’s store, Real Restraints.

It’s a lovely thing to look at.. I suspect lelo is going to be spending a fair bit of time in this toy.

The rich red color, in particular, with the lovely light and shadow effect, is just the thing to put on a black rubberdoll.

Do visit Marine’s store and help support all the hard work she does for bondage bunnies everywhere.

I’ll let lelo give the detailed description - after all, it’s not a gag ;)

You just have to love someone like Marine, she single-handedly dreams up RLV, makes some of the best restraints in SL and stays so humble.

Just look at her little stall on Pak, which hasn’t changed in all the years i have known it, some very big stores grew around it but the stall stays as it is. I just love that.

Another thing i love is this armbinder - it should be mandatory for all the dolls in SL.

You get 3+3 looks, as Marine puts it, 3 closed or full versions and 3 open versions showing the straps over the shoulders.

The menu will look very familiar for anyone who has ever worn a pair of real restraints, and who hasn’t? *winks*

You won’t be surprised that there are the full RLV controls in the binders, as well as timers and the RR key system.

For our fashion victims there is the “binder tex” plugin, making it possible to adjust the colors of your binder to match your outfit.

I won’t go into all the options you can find in the armbinder, but there is one i really have got to mention, there is a silent button in the special menu, please, please use it when you play in a public sim.

Now go get one, get yourself locked in and struggle your way out, Marine says it might be possible.
