Happy New Year from Bora Bora

Happy New Year to all our readers, from lelo and myself in Bora Bora, our favorite beach spot in SL.

We hope you will have a wonderful new year in Second Life, and that you will continue to enjoy our posts.

We'll keep bringing you good pics and reviews, looking for more good designers and good clothes and toys.

We definitely want to continue posting daily - although it's sometimes more work than we first thought.
"Ha, this will take five minutes!"
Well, it turns out that it doesn't ;)

We'll be introducing new models and guest-written posts, as some of our friends are pretty savvy shoppers.

We'll continue our coverage of Perversion Island as it grows and develops... including our own club, Bitch Goddess.

We also want to add links to other SL-fetish related blogs. If you have one, or know some, do get in touch with us.

As always, we welcome your comments and suggestions.

Deirdre and lelo

Perversion Island : Bitch Goddess Club

At the South-East corner of Perversion Island, overlooking the sea, near a vacant lot, (... and an open sewer, urban enough?) stands a discreet building of light, clean-looking brick.

A large iron-bound wooden door might catch your eye; probably much more so than the discreet black and white sign that says "Bitch Goddess Club".

Full disclosure requires that I tell you the name of the club owner : c'est moi, yours truly, Deirdre Young.

Surprise!

lelo and I worked hard these past weeks, building, decorating, and getting help and good advice from our friends. Thanks Kai, thanks Elly, and many others!

The official launch party was tonight, December 19th, which is why this post is a bit later than our usual. It was a blast, by the way. A very good indication of things to come, I like to think.

BG is intended to be a social club for dominant women and their subs. While it is primarily femdom-femsub, polite male doms and subs are certainly welcome.

A stage and numerous couches, along with a unique type of pose stand for slaves, comprise most of the furniture upstairs, while the dungeon below already has a number of good toys for play, with more to be added soon.

The look of the club is clean, airy, and somewhat eighties, with muted greys and discreet decoration. A mezzanine second floor does away with low ceilings, which I hate. There are a few original conversation seats allowing five people to chat and easily see each other while they do.

While there is no dress code per se, if it happens that you're wearing boots, leather, and latex.. well, you'll be in good company.

Perversion Island : Goddess Kailani's Fetish Art Gallery

Across the street from Bound & Determined, you may notice a tall building whose large windows give you tantalizing peeks at scenes of fetishism, sado-masochism, lesbianism, and domination/submission.

You've caught a glimpse, my voyeuristic friend, of Goddess Kailani's Fetish Art Gallery.

If erotic pictures of submissive (mostly Asian, isn't that odd? ) women bound, abused, humiliated, forced to lick boots, covered in latex... whew.

Um, where was I going with this?

Oh, yes. If all those lovely pictures give you naughty ideas, you're in the right place.

If you want some of those lovely pictures hanging at your place, you're also in the right place, as they can be purchased for a very small fee.

Perversion Island : Puppy Slave Kennels

If you go down a certain side street of Perversion, you'll see a discreet sign and a ramp leading down into the underground.. you've just found the puppygirl training facility.

I'm not kidding about underground : that ladder leading to the mysterious round opening takes you right to the sewers. Watch out for wandering wolves and other dangers.

Once downstairs, you'll see cages, doghouses, and large rooms with jail-cell bars; even a couple of fenced-off doghouses, for the especially bad puppies.

The doghouses are quite fun, and offer a nice variety of poses for puppy play.

A number of lovely inspirational pictures of leashed slavegirls lighten the mood of this harsh cement-walled dungeon.

There are a few bondage toys and a throne, but this is clearly a place for puppies to be kept and trained... and with any luck, housebroken ;)

Perversion Island : LatexDoll Factory

First fetish spot we’ll review on Perversion Island is the new LatexDoll Factory, managed by the stunning latex mistress, Minako Yoshiyuki.

Like other themed buildings in Perversion, it is dedicated to one fetish and meant to welcome those who appreciate it.

The décor is abandoned factory, techno-industrial-postmodern, with a lot of steel plate, cement, and machines you’d expect to see in a science-fiction movie or a latex doll’s wildest wet dream.

Deirdre Young : “Please tell me about your place.”

Minako Yoshiyuki : “Well, this is/will become a latexdoll factory and a latex fetishist hangout.”

Deirdre : “I see you have some things already in place.”

Minako : “We have a latex coating device that literally coats a person in liquid latex, effectively giving them a whole new skin. The latex is then treated, washed, and applied to the flesh to make it feel natural as possible.”

Deirdre : “And are those holding cells ?”

Minako : “Yes, they're designed for people that like to remain here and to be brought out to play.”

Deirdre : “When do you hope to be fully operational ?”

Minako : “Either before Christmas, or maybe we’ll have a grand opening on new years”

Deirdre : “Are you thinking of making a group, or will this just be a play space?”

Minako : “So far I envision this place to be a playspace/social gathering spot”

The latexdoll factory is still under construction, but do drop in and say hello.... and keep an eye on this blog for the grand opening date.

Perversion Island : Introduction

We're kicking off a new series of posts today, which will run every Friday for quite a while.

Consider subscribing to the RSS feed, it's going to be amazing! ;) You know, the orange thingy. Or get it delivered in your mail program! You're smart, I know you'll figure it out.

You'll remember that we already spoke about Bound and Determined, the play and social spot owned by Kailani Ling.

When the sim under B&D went on sale, Kailani got concerned for her club, and decided to buy it, and devote the whole place to kink.

The concept is simple : a city with places for the most fetishes around, for now a rubber doll factory, a kennel and a sleazy motel are set up, but there is much more to come.

The really great thing about Perversion is the fact that Kailani is only setting up the layout of the city.

Each play area will be headed by someone who is in touch with the wishes of the community it's aimed at.

We will feature each play area, tell you what it offers and talk to the people who run it.

And if we find any special things in the stores we just might feature those as well *smiles*

The Black Boot Club

Deirdre:

Founded by Mistress Elly Dagger, the Black Boot Club is a place for boot lovers and boot wearers.

The emphasis is strongly femdom-femsub, but male doms and subs are welcome. Elly is a strict domme, and any sub who hopes to be well received here had better be on their best behavior.

The club is not your typical strip joint, it's really more meant as a social and play space for boot fetishists. The conversation frequently turns to shopping - you're shocked, I know - and I've certainly seen some of the best boots in Second Life worn here.

So pull on your best boots and come on by if you want good company, good music, and good fetishwear-clad ladies... and, to be honest, a few bad fetishwear-clad ladies too. ;)

lelo:

The Black Boot Club is a social meeting place for boot wearing dommes, though they welcome every well behaved individual.

It has 2 levels, the ground floor is for dancing and conversation, the upstairs is more for role play and offers some very nice bondage toys.

The main goal of the club it to be a meeting place for like minded people, in this case mostly Mistresses and their subs. Most evenings are filled with some dancing and mostly conversation.

a nice extra feature is the picnic area on the beach, a great place to see the sun rise from the sea.

The club is owned by Mistress Elly Dagger, who, unlike most other club owners, has no real financial objectives with the club, though tips are most welcome to keep the club running *winks*. This is most notable by the lack of dancers and tip jars on every square meter of the club.

So all in all a great place for some intelligent conversation about topics close to our hearts and the music at the club shouldn't go unmentioned, a great mix of 80's and 90's classics. Gives the place an extra edge over the other hip hop, techno, goth... filled clubs.

Ohh one final little thing i should mention, the line dances, a real must see....

Hypnodolls

Deirdre:

This is the place for hypnosis, mind-control, and doll/mannequin/gynoid enthusiasts of all kinds.

Floating in mid-air, a huge red and gold geometric construct... you'll have to zoom way out to see it all at once.

At the heart of the central platform, a sphere of glowing, soothing lights catches your eye.. and holds it, if you're a hypnosis fan.

This is a community center. A board points to groups, web sites, and all sorts of related information. You can meet people who share your interests, and if they're not lost in the ball of lights yet, you can chat with them ;)

lelo:

Hmmm Hypnodolls.... where to begin on this one, well first of all it's the shop for the hypnotron and it's scripts, though this is craftily hidden by the way the place is build.

The ever growing collection of hypno scripts is located on the lower floor and the hypnotron's are located on razed platforms in the corners of the main floor, some demo machines are located on the upper floor.

The hypnotron works with a whirling graphic occupying your whole screen, that focuses you on the center of the screen, there you will see a text that guides you into a trance, programs you and takes you back out of the trance. Some scripts all so have some great pictures in them.

The idea behind the machine is quite good, and judging by the ever growing amount of scripts, there is quite a market for it. I won't go into the discussion if it really works, i leave that to you, there are a couple of demo machines so give them a go.

Have a look at the scripts on the lower floor, you'll be amazed by the selection they have, something for most fetishes.

Bound and Determined

Deirdre:

One of those rare fetish / bdsm social spots like Bondage Ranch. You see the occasional naked newbie, but eh, they're everywhere ;)

A good number of play areas scattered around, a mall or two. Lots of room to sit, a few good snuggle poses on the sofas.

Not that much to say, one of those good spots to know and visit for socializing or people watching.

lelo:

a second great place brought to you by Kailani from Twisted Orchid, it services the opposite side of the bdsm lovers. There are no managers, no paid dancers or big events.

It's more like the bondage ranch, a meeting place for like minded people, and where the ranch is mostly quiet, bound is full of chatter.

the place sits in the center of a mall with the usual stores, the real center is an open yard with seats and sofas, there are also a couple of dance poles with free for all tip jars.

But the real fun are the numerous little rooms for all kinds of play, from a barn with a dog and horse, a kitchen, an alley... and loads more, most filled with all kinds of fun toys.

We mostly visit this place just to relax, chat and watch people go by.. you never know what catches your eye

Twisted Orchid

Deirdre:

A friendly fetish club, awesome people, great dance music : it all adds up to terrific ambiance.

Orchid is one of the most famous fetish clubs, and one of the oldest.

We see clubs come and go in Second Life, dying like mayflies after opening, languishing semi-empty for a few weeks, and land being re-sold at a loss... and one more entrepreneur swearing bitterly that he didn't get the help he needed, or luck was against her; whatever.

What makes a good club? Does Twisted Orchid have amazing toys? Psychedelic decoration? No, no.

People.

Kailani's genius seems to be hiring good managers, promoting them from dancers that prove they are dependable, smart, and nice, night after night after night. (This is totally my theory - calling her up and asking for the secret of her success didn't seem à propos.)

There's a live DJ now and then, which sure makes the ambiance different. Hey, Cheribomb Vavoom, I mean you, sweetie!

The music is 1.fm the rest of the time. As a special bonus just cause I like you, here's where you can see what's playing, in almost real time :

http://www.1.fm/stations/Dance/ViewLastPlayed.aspx

There's a small dance floor, but it really doesn't see much use. To sum up : a happy place to sit, snuggle, yak, and watch the guests and the lovely, friendly dancers.


lelo:
Nice place to just relax, watch people and see the occasional newbie fly to the ceiling when they climb on the dance stage.

As Mistress says the place isn't special, the look is straightforward and the ceiling tiles seem upside down, still it has something.

It has a certain feel or mood, i guess it's true what they say: people make a place.

Bondage Ranch

Bondage Ranch is hard to define. Call it a meat market, a bdsm meeting place, a see and be seen place... whatever it is, it's popular. Ranch attracts more people than most place with paid campers.

I'm not sure whats makes the ranch this popular. There is no music, no unusual toys or great conversations, still it's difficult to get in as it is filled to capacity most of the day.

We use the ranch to sit, talk and look at interesting clothes and toys. Next to that, the ranch is a great place to meet people, i guess its the place with the most profile loads in SL.

There is hardly any play on the ranch. It offers enough places to play but most people come alone and leave together after a short while, mostly due to the lag on the ranch.

A nice second feature of the ranch are the two malls next to it on damsel, these offer a wide range of clothing in the one and BDSM toys in the other.

All in all a great place for the BDSM lover, if you want to meet like-minded people, look for nice clothing or just have a look at profiles. If you're looking to meet, be sure to mention it in your profile so people reading it will know.

Ohh... and when you are there, take your time exploring the many rooms, dungeons, cinema's and the club. The ranch has many, mostly unexplored places. Look for the signs and the teleporters that can take you to them.


You can find the entrance to Bondage Ranch at:

... hope you can get in ;)

PS: be careful going in, the floor at the main gate isn't as stable as it should be..... it has the nasty habit of letting people fall right through it.
