Currently under way in the Velvet Thorn is the VT Domme auction. Bidding is currently under-way and will finish 2pm SLT on Saturday 20th November.
Some of the most exciting, sexy and beautiful ladies of Velvet Thorn are helping to raise money for the sim by auctioning their time off to some lucky submissive.
This happens only twice a year and all proceeds go to the Velvet Thorn to help with the upkeep and Sim expenses. To support The Velvet Thorn, these Mistresses are auctioning a few hours of their time to the lucky winners.
Bidding is extremely simple and painless, so get over to VT and get your lindens out. Use this slurl to get you to VT.
When you land , turn around and look for the HUGE X (yes X does mark the spot)
Wander over .. thats simple too .. just walk left foot, right foot and repeat until you arrive infront of the boards
Have a good look at the ladies photographs, wiping any drool from your chin in the process.
Click the big Gold coloured prim (seen in the middle of the above picture) to get a notecard about the auction, which also carries individual cards from each of the ladies with personal details of themselves, their interests and their photograph (I collected a few photos myself when visiting)
To bid, simply just right click the board and pay your bid to the board, if you are unlucky enough to be outbid, your Lindens will be returned and you can post haste head down to the sim again and rebid on the Lady of your dreams
Short of Cash this month ?
There is a small "needy sub" collection where a central pot of money can be used to help truely needy and poor subs with financial assistance on their bids. If you feel you wish to try for help on your bid, contact remus wilbur in world. That's remus in the picture below
A little "tied up" for back talking to her mistress..
If you have a few spare lindens yourself there are some large black pins (also shown in the picture above) around the sim where donations can be added to this pool to help spice up the auction.
The small print
* The lucky winners will have the honour of serving their selected Domme as she sees fit.
* Please remember that the ladies are being auctioned as Dominants and will, as always at VT, be in charge of your time together.
* Please do not bid if you are not submissive or willing to submit.
* Bidders must be prepared to submit to the Domme they win. Or offer up a suitable sex submissive to amuse the Domme
* The time spent varies with a minimum of two hours, beyond that at Her discretion.

Did you know the VT play Areas are out again ??
Did you miss the group Notice about the play areas ?.. If you did shame on you, and for punishment administer 6 spanks to yourself right now.
Access to all the play areas is from the Teleport board in the Welcome Area. Clicking on the signs opens up the familiar SL Map with the relevant play area indicated, simply clicking on the teleport button will take you on your journey
Lets head off to the first area .. The Girly Dungeon.
As you can see its a bright pink and well stocked with play toys. An interesting snippet of VT fact is that this was Mistress's Stars first ever play room area build and has been part of VT on and off since the early days
If pink is not your favourite colour, we have the Scary Dungeon as well. When you land you see a couple of cages off to the left and the main building. Using the ladder you can climb onto the roof where there is a secret dance floor.. Fantastic idea .. Dance a little followed by a little light bondage and a good whipping then lock the sub away for next time
Entering the main building, I spotted a lovely screen with one of my favourite ladies on it .. Betty Paige, sadly missed by all. But my spirits soon pick up as I spot the very well stocked multi room dungeon.
I really love this room with its matching black and white furniture.. so easy to keep clean and tidy and does not stain ;)
The last room is to the left and is equipped with a dance pole, a few bondage toys, the bedroom and the cutest little Stone walled Dungeon behind that sliding door ..
We will continue the photo wander about the play areas over the next few days, why not start your exploration and have fun.. Remember to Play Safe and always always .. have fun here at VT
Hugs Duchess Dita

International FemDom Day - Fashion Show - Thanks to the Sponsors and the Volunteer Models
Apologies for the delay, I literally "ran" from organising the Fashion Show organisation to jump on a plane and fly off for a well earned RL Holiday.
The Fashion Show was a great success and a fitting start to the amazing IFD weekend. We elected to set ourselves a challenge for the show and set a target to show how glamour and diversity of fashion styles can still exist in a FemDom lifestyle.

Amazing!!!
The ladies of the Velvet Thorn were seeking to raise another 100k Lindens to add to the 200k (US$690) raised by the Femdom Community in SL group during International Femdom Day last weekend. We succeeded way beyond our expectations! 168,200 Lindens (US$617) were raised during the auction and through the donation jar at the auction event.
Bringing the total contribution to ProMujer.org to US$1,307!
A HUGE HUGE HUGE thank you to all of the ladies who offered their time to this great cause, and to all of our bidders and donators who made this all possible.

Domme Auction for Charity
Domme Auction for Charity
The Mistresses at the Velvet Thorn Femdom have gathered for a Domme Auction to further support Pro Mujer, a charity that supports underprivileged women with micro-loans to start a business in struggling countries. The auction is scheduled to be LIVE (NOT silent like most previous domme auctions) for Saturday, July, 31, 2010 at 4:00 pm slt at Bonanza .
http://slurl.com/secondlife/Bonanza%20at%20Waterview/220/128/30
Bonanza is a BDSM auction sim, specializing in slave auctions. HOWEVER the Mistresses of the Velvet Thorn are being auctioned AS MISTRESSES and with dignity. Bull Hynes, owner of the Bonanza auction sim, has generously offered to support us by advertising in his huge group and will donate 100% of the proceeds of this auction, as well as his time and efforts, to Pro Mujer. We are donating to a mainstream charity and propriety must be maintained. Therefore the time being auctioned is platonic with the understanding that this IS for a good cause charity. It is also a way to introduce some new folks to Femdom.
Please keep an open mind. There will be many doms and female slaves. Please be respectful of each and everyone's personal choices and preferences and treat all with the same respect and courtesy we would expect in our Femdom sister sims. When you visit the Bonanza sim please be sure to read the rules. Do not IM the slaves in that sim as it is not allowed, all chat with "the locals" should take place in the public chat. Subs - deactivate your RLV while in sim to prevent unfortunate accidents!

Pony Girl Dressage : Blending of SL and RL
All those in Real Life who have ever owned, ridden or been any where near a horse will know they are generally stubborn, clumsy and and intractable. Those of us in any FemDom community RL or SL will immediately see the similarity with many submissives. Imagine then taking a submissive pony girl and entering a Dressage competition.
Dressage is a French term loosely translated as "training"and is competitive horse training. Its sole purpose is to develop a horse's athletic ability, pose, looks and willingness to perform. A well trained good Dressage pony will show exact, effortless and smooth responses to a skilled rider's guidance by flawlessly performing the requested movement while the riders remains relaxed, graceful and effortlessly in control. The rider displays their horses' training through the performance of "tests" of prescribed series of movements within a standard arena. Judges evaluate and score each movement on the basis of an objective standard appropriate to the level of the test.
Our own Duchess Raffila Millgrove has most kindly and graciously allowed me to write about a little of her "real life" self and her real life ponygirl (Pippa) and how all their hard training together allowed them in their first ever competition to achieve a landslide set of wins in the First Annual Los Angeles Pony-Critter Jamboree. Raffi and Pippa competed in five events taking first place in 3 dressage events, a second place in Agility and a third place in presentation. Pippa then proudly was awarded Grand Champion Pony. Congratulations to the both from all at VT.
Raffi and Pippa's Freestyle Dressage Routine on YouTube
Raffi has been interested in SL Ponygirls for over two years now and her SL sub (Mylene) is a pony for Raffi in SL.
In SL Raffi and Mylene have learnt how to train and expanded that knowledge into Raffi's RL and her work with Pippa.
Raffi says the although for some, ponyplay could be seen as a light hearted possibly "silly play", that within her RL relationship with Pippa it has created a deeper much more dynamic bond that truly holds them together as one Horse/Rider.
If your interested in finding a new use for that riding crop gathering dust in your inventory, why not contact Raffi in SL as she has offered to provide help and guidance to anyone interested in getting started in SL pony play as either a pony or a trainer.
Rafi gave me permission to include the following beautiful photographs of her and Pippa at the show.
Juts look at all their Rosettes .. Well Done again Ladies. An amazing result for you both.

INTERNATIONAL FEMDOM DAY IS JULY 24
INTERNATIONAL FEMDOM DAY IS JULY 24
CELEBRATIONS TO BE HELD IN SECOND LIFE - JULY 23-25 BY THE FEMDOM COMMUNITY IN SL GROUP
The date July 24th was chosen as the date for International Femdom Day as a day for celebrating dominant women – 7/24 - seven days a week and 24 hours a day. There are real life celebrations going on from St. Louis and New York to Berlin and beyond. The Femdom Community in SL group is bringing the whole event virtual for those who do not have the opportunity for a RL venue.
We will be hosting a wide variety of events, workshops and exhibitions on a dedicated sim from Friday 23 July through Sunday 25 July. Further details will become available on our website as they are finalized: http://femdomcommunityinsl.blogspot.com
EVENT CHARITY
In honor of celebrating women we will be raising funds for Pro Mujer ( http://www.promujer.org ) as we have done for our previous group events. We have chosen Pro Mujer because they are not a simple charity; they empower women by offering education, healthcare and micro-loan programs. Pro Mujer encourages women to develop their full potential, claim their basic human rights, and access services and resources in their communities. If you are not familiar with this wonderful organization we encourage you to have a look at their website and learn more.

Femdom Community in SL - Logo Competition
We are, even more so, strongly focused on continuing to bring you the best femdom experiences in all of Second Life!
As part of the launch of the new Community group Star Blogged about, we have announced a LOGO CONTEST
Contest ends 9 July @ NOON SLT

Entries should be submitted DIRECTLY to LaFemme Meredith in world

- 1024 x 1024 in size
IDEALLY THE LOGO SHOULD MEET THE FOLLOWING:
- Give a sense of the Femdom Community in SL.
- Create a recognizable symbol to represent the Femdom Community in SL group.
- The logo will need to be used for event posters, info signs, web banners, and so on, so flexibility is key.
- Be able to be resized from large to quite small without too much distortion. So not *too fussy* or overly detailed.
- It IS acceptable to submit a full fledged logo and a simpler/smaller but easily recognizable version. This is NOT required but can be considered.
I'll be monitoring the blog and linking back to interesting posts

Classes and Dances Going Strong at VT!
WOW! Settling in the new digs at VT has been so easy. The new classroom was used on Tuesday with a lively discussion with Ms Kadden Yue. Her class discussions have always drawn a crowd but this one had at one point when I counted was 26 AV's sitting in the room.
"What does serving mean to you? What can you do in SL to show service? SHOW UP_ GIVE YOUR TIME_ACTIVE LISTENING_PROVIDE FEEDBACK IN TEXT TO SHOW YOU ARE LISTENING_READ ALL THE WORDS IN TEXT_{communication is the key}"
Then the discussion turned to respecting each others rl and that the Mistress has just as much responsibility in the relationship as the sub! So Communication and Reciprocity were the key words of the hour. The hour was over before we knew it. Cannot wait till next week!!
A Big Thank You to Sierrah Sciarri for making a record of the highlights of the class for me.
Now I would like to welcome Yvana Zadark as our newest instructor at VT. Her thing is building and she has a great approach. She plans classes to be informal and will focus on the learning aspect of building such as textures, prim torture, attachments, or sculpties rather than "today we build a lamp" kinda of class. Every other Weds 6pm SLT on the platform above the classroom
is the place to be for VT builders.
Please let us and the instructors know what you thought of the class and what you would like to see in the future!
Moondancer Sandalwood debuted as DJ of our Mid-Week answer to hump day with Mid-Week Madness! So Well it finally broke up 12 hours plus later!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Next Weds will be a Beach party theme. But before that we have Friday night welcoming back Exxx with a Sexy Dr and Nurses theme, Sat is tried and true Leather and Lace with the return of Victoranna, then Sun we have the addition of RaMinah spinning to the 80's
Look for more posts daily reporting on the classes and events. Comments welcomed. Ms. M.E.

BIG Changes at Velvet Thorn ....
Labels: building, Changes, FemDom, Lag, New
As many of you are aware, Star and Infiniti started building a new play area for us all within the Velvet Thorn Sim on the "Femdom" Sim. However during the build work, the ladies numerous times encountered such terrible lag that building became impossible. We all know that the sim does seem to suffer from "extra" lag and despite many people having searched and delving into every possible know cause, no one has been able to pinpoint and eliminate the monster.
Therefore Star made the decision that the VT build needed to start afresh and all old "suspect" prims need sending the way of the delete button. I am therefore pleased to blog that we are all soon to benefit from an all new VT experience. Star and Infinitis' goal for the new build was to employ every technique they know to minimise lag, this will involve reduced use of MegaPrims, less use of Alpha textures (such as the glass in the store area, which many merchants had requested to be removed). The new Mall Area will be smaller thus allowing more area to be available for other things, but still offer the same number of stores and merchants. The shopping mall layout has been simplified and offers shoppers a "Miami like" feel which visually benefits from the water and board-walk areas around it.
Landing will no longer be in a Fountain (great news for my shoes) and will be a shorter walk to the clubhouse (great news for you shackled subs). At the landing will be feature clocktower hosting the sim rules and the Duchess page board. Then you will have a decision to head right to the clubhouse or left to the shopping area.
The clubhouse chat area gets a complete make over and I have to say I love it, it keeps the same intimate feel of the old one, but still open and airy with amazing views over water (makes note to self to check if subbies float) to the new mall area and includes a view of a fantastic San Francisco like bridge. We will be getting new chairs and when our hard working builders get a chance to draw breath and get the building dust out from under their fingernails (hint hint boys .. manicure and pedicure time !) rumour has it we may get multiple poses. We also will be getting some very nice sofas for a lazy afternoon lounge about.
We also get a new cafe area which will host the "Sub Boards". These will be getting a makeover too and VT will be changing the way subs can put their details up for the attention of a Mistress. More details later.
One of the new places I absolutely adore is a completely never seen before dance club built by Infiniti. When I saw this I immediately fell in love with the texturing and design and know I'll be spending many an hour relaxing on that dance floor. Make sure you check out the little things like the two statues/lights outside the main door.
While I am mentioning the detail, I implore you to spend time looking at the quality and just fantastic design and build work that Star and Infiniti have given us in this build. When you get a chance, make sure you thank these ladies for the environment they have created and given us. I'll start .. Thank you ladies.
There are LOTS and LOTS of other plans for the new build and I'll cover these and add photo's and more detailed descriptions when we know more and there is less building dust around.
So "When ? " I hear you all ask ...
Current plan is that by 11pm SLT time on the 25th May, Star will have requested all the Merchants in the old Mall pick up their items. At 11pm Star will close the Old and "New" Sims, for hopefully no more than six hours, during which the removal company trucks in the cardboard boxes and bubblewrap and the old areas on FemDom get boxed up and moved to the new Sim and build. Star, Infiniti and a few helpers will then work tirelessly on the final polish and tidy up
Once all is well, Star will open the new sim and we can all marvel at the new fantastic work. We plan to have a GRAND reopening on the 28th (so make a note in your diaries). Also remus will be planning, organising and letting us all know about a Sim wide Treasue hunt which will run from 28th to 31st, to encourage us ALL to explore the new place.
Star then plans to FULLY empty the old FemDom sim and therefore banish the lag monster finally once and for all, so IF you have prims on FemDom please please Consider picking them up to help Stars huge job of tidying up. If you get things returned to you during the tidyup now you know why.

A long overdue update
Greetings readers .. been a few weeks since I posted a note, some intended, some not.. I had a bit of a work / holiday two weeks off on the west coast of the USA which was extended (unintentionally) by Mother Nature and a slight tantrum she threw via Mount Eyjafjallajokull in Iceland. Mother nature reminded us humans of our fragility and dependance on machines and technology and removed a simple act of flying from our lives for a few days. Our world fell apart .. Airlines stopped flying and I was "stuck".
Whilst there I saw these pictures in the USA news Link1 Link2 which IMO show the beauty of Mother Natures artwork and the fragility of us humans.. My "plight" of being "stuck" was put into start contrast with those people in Iceland directly affected..
It got me thinking, Mother Nature is indeed female and is indeed dominant... For instance ... If a volcano was male, the spurting ash would have lasted a few seconds and not have been repeatable for some time and then only after another short and uneventful build up .. as a female volcano "eruption" , it lasted for days and built in intensity a number of times ;)
I am now back in the UK, normal service is returned and expect to see me around in SL as before. My plan to document the various areas on the SIM we call home have gone as most of the areas have gone ... to be replaced by a new and exciting area. As such my focus will be on telling you all about the new place, encouraging you to explore it
Hugs D

Tour Part 5 - The Classroom Play Area
View as we land ... Make sure you have a close look at the right hand bookcase, fully scripted and ready for a Mistress and sub to enjoy a some excellent bondage positions.. Reading has never been quite so much fun The main room has another scripted book case (different to the first one, so worth grabbing a deep breath and another exploration).. To the left is what remains of a dance class.. Piano and Bongos play if you feel musically inclined.And finally around the corner .. the main classroom area .. seems some one has been writing on the blackboard. We shall have to find out who did that ;)
Maybe as we start the tour of the play areas .. I should take a couple of willing volunteers along, so we can show you all the animated toys .. Volunteers ???

The Impromtu Emoting Competition - NSFW comes with an age warning :)
Today we had a impromptu Emoting competition in the Community area .. Various people donated to the prize which got to 8,000 lindens
Rules where simple. A subject was chosen and the contestants had a few mins to create a max 3 sentence emote on the subject
Round one - Subject was a response to Kitten Moonshadow : You have just stared at my tits when you have been corrected for it 3 times already today. I smack you right in your mouth and tell you to beg forgiveness.
First up Vaille Voom turns his head to the side with the force of the slap, a little drool dropping from his lip. "Oh...I...sorry!" he stammers, "I just zoned out! I wasn't lying!" he blurts. He angles his head forward, fixing his sulky stare on the floor as his cheeks redden from embarrasment and the distinct shape of a hand forn higher on his cheek.
Cosmo Fenwitch looks up to your eyes and says "what?" I was looking at yous dress. There seems to be lint on it.
Cosmo Fenwitch reaches out to brush it off.
Second up remus Wilber: looking up her face a look of total horror, the violence of the smack ringing the girls ears as the words descend around her ears, she can feel the walls of her world crumbeling as she realises Miss Kitten is angry with her. quickly falling to her hands and knees, the flagstones of the floor rough against her soft skin as she crawls quickly across the floor, protsrating near her feet. her voice coming out as little more than a whisper from between her full lips quietly begging the beautiful Dommes forgiveness for this sluts errors in judgment. "this poor girl is usually such a good girl Miss but your bueaty drained what little mind and goodsense she had and left her as naught but a gibbering heap of drool at your feet. please forgive her Miss, you knwo she will tear out her eyes and devour them herself before daring to upset you again"
(Breaks 3 sentence rule and incurred a -2 points penalty)
DaveWisc Price uses his lips to slowly open the buttons on the back of Miss Misterry's gown. Kissing each shoulder, than slowly kissing his way down her spine, finally pausing to kiss the small of her back, savoring her silken skin for a moment before resuming his path further downward....
Round 2 .. Infiniti : I walk into the clubhouse, drunk, and horny, looking to play. You are each aware os SSC, both RL and at VT, so its a very fine line ... approach me...
remus Wilber: Scoots quickly up behind Miss Infiniti, grasping her elbows in my hands to hold her steady as she stumbles about. Quietly so no one can see pressing soft gentle kisses to her throat as I whisper up how beautiful she looks tonight, my hand slowly sliding up her arms to wrap them infront of her, dragging mine around in a hug as I press her tight against me. Moving my lips up her throat leaving small lipstick marks as I suck in her lower lobe, pressing myself up against her as I push her hips back against me
Vaille Voom takes a few steps to intersect with Infiniti's path and clears his throat. "Are you okay, Miss?" he asks, his hands nervously fidgiting in front of him and his head tilted to one side in an failed attempt to look sympathetic. "If you need a hand to your chair, just yell." he says with a slightly impish grin, eyes fixed on her as she wends her way to her destination.
Thyamine Dyrssen watches as you stumble past, offering his bare muscular arm for support as he says hello, helping guide you to a chair as he slides down slowly in front of you to the cushion smiling up at you, 'Mmmm, having a good night so far Miss?'
Cosmo Fenwitch: Cosmo look around the clubhouse and sees what appears to be an attractive playful but slightly drunk chick. The kind he hoped to find tonight. Confident that his superb good looks will enable him to bag this chick he approaches her, unaware of her reputation as a powerful domme. After looking you over he says, in a deep voice, n “How you doing?”
Voting after 2 rounds Eliminated Cosmo ... (good try Cosmo, but strong competition from the others)
Round 3
FireEclipse Foxclaw: You have been watching me for hours in agony, at my will to do nothing or something... I just took off my clothes and told you to worship me.
Vaille Voom furrows his brow at the order, his mouth dropping open a little gormlessly as he formulates a response. "I...would...but..." he says, only just coming to grips with the forward nature of the request. "...I gotta handle something first." he fibs, standing and making a swift exit, chuckling to himself.
remus Wilber: Falling immediately to my knees before you as the glory of your beauty stuns me almost into insensibility. Hungrily licking my lips as I look up at your body, taking in every inch of your body as I slowly start licking my way up your leg, dragging my course tongue against the soft flesh as it gets higher and higher. Inhaling deeply as your musky scent fills my mind as I start lapping lightly at the sensitive flesh, pushing the tip of my tongue into every crevice before dragging myself up, covering your belly with soft loving kisses
Thyamine Dyrssen watches as you slip into nothing for that first time, kneeling and watching as warm bare skin and curves are slowly revealed, my eyes taking in your beauty as you turn back to me. Leaning into you slowly, gazing up at your face as you watch my reaction, my hands gliding up the outsides of your thighs softly, my lips leaning in to softly kiss your warm skin, my fingers teasing up further to your soft bare hips, pulling back to take in your sexy form again
Vaille being eliminated that round leaving remus and Thy
Last round to the challenge of Infiniti again : Infiniti Mirihi: I show up in one of the play areas, to find you touring the new play area... i'm wearing nothing but a habit and stockings. I say to you, "Let's play Bless me Sister, for I have sinned." Go on, confess...
First was remus Wilber: Giggling madly as I quickly change into a schoolgirls outfit sans panties, looking up with pure hunger in my eyes. Dropping a lil curtsey as I murmur “forgive me Sister, I have sinned mightely, I spent all day letting people peek up my skirt and teased them mercilessly by rubbing against them, she has been a very naughty girl”. Letting the skirt flip up just a shade to high as I bob another curtsey to her and move to my knees, bowing my head to await my just punishment, trying with difficulty to hide the excited grin on my face
Closely followed by Thyamine Dyrssen looks at you standing there, surprising me as I come around the corner, gorgeous and sensual, and so naughty looking in your outfit. Slowly sinking down to his knees as he takes you in, eyes slipping down over your bare skin, unable to help it as his gaze lingers. Trying not to stare where the soft skin meets the stockings, turning his eyes up to you 'Bless me sister, for I have sinned, and I seem to be unable to stop suddenly..'
Tour Part 4 .. Theatre and Velvet Lounge
Today we will continue the wander around Velvet Thorn Sim, calling at the Theatre and the Velvet Lounge. Outside the theatre you can stop off and grab your popcorn (and tickets of course) and if you have a wierd sense of humour like me smirk at the "Butter Kist Nuts" signs which if said in a UK voice sounds a lot worse than "peanuts in butter" .. oooops
Great textures on the popcorn machine and sweets counterInside the Theatre we grab the back row (as normal) and realise that its not film night .. so watch a blank screen while grabbing the pics. The cinema style seats are of course for the Dommes with lots of cushions for the subs watching the film
Outside the theatre is an area I would guess most miss .. a lovely hot tub and spa and the bridge over to Velvet Crossing . If you use the tub remember to turn it off after use.. need to keep Stars electricity bill down
Jumping a Teleport we head to the lounge and grab a quick dance while we grab the snaps. Some excellent fetish B&W photography on the walls. Here we have a look to the stage
More photography as we pan around clockwise
To the entrance and the bar area
I encourage folks to continue their exploration and visit these and the other places inside our wonderful sim.

Chair and Stool Etiquette in the Clubhouse
Etiquette • noun the code of polite behaviour in a society
A break from the tour of the sim to pen a polite suggestion to all ... When leaving the Circle of chairs, stools and cushions in the club house, please consider stepping outside of the circle a few steps .. This way when you log back on with your settings as "My Last Location" you don't (a) land on someone's lap or (b) rez slowly with your backside in another's face :)

Continuing the Explore at VT .. Day3
Labels: Dita, Exploring, Games, Greedy, Lighthouse
"Good Morning Velvet Thorn !!!!"
Here we go continuing the tour around VT, This morning we look at 3 areas which help with the diversity here at Velvet Thorn. First up is the Learning Retreat, a simple sand box and build area, want to try your hand at half meter plywood cubes ? This is teh place to play.. However remember simple SandBox rules ... Dont rez hundreds and hundreds of prims, dont play with laggy scripts and TIDY UP after you..Quick Teleport away is the Lighthouse, not a heavily visited area, so I often use it if I need to chill and relax, maybe when I'm writing this blog or updating notecards etc. If you see me hanging around, say Hi however don't be upset if I don't instantly reply .. Probably busy somewhere Zooming back we see the light house and its area in its completeness
Last place for today is the Rumpus Game Room, fancy a flutter ? a game of skill ? Here's the place to come. Here we have A poker table, Greedy Table and a XX table. Don't want to chance those hard earned Lindens ? No problems there is a nice seating circle similar to the Clubhouse where folks can rest and watch the others chance their hand

Around Velvet Thorn 2 - The walk from the Fountain
Labels: Dita, Exploring
Continuing the blogs and pics around Velvet Thorn sim.. "Plop" you TelePort into the Sim in, as mentioned before, into the fountain.
I have a number of theories why this is, first is it cleans your feet from your travels through Second Life, washing away the dirt and drama from other sims. The second theory is related to birth as water is historically tied to birth, so landing in the fountain is a symbol of the travellers rebirth into the new world of Velvet Thorn and FemDom.
However part of me says its the sense of humour of Dommes who love to see every one walk into the sim with wet feet.
Turning to face west, the traveller sees in the distance the stunning ladies of Velvet Thorn and hurries as fast as their AO allows .. literally running passed some key discoveries on the path to the ClubhouseThis Photo trip we shall take our time and point out some possibly overlooked things. As we head across the bridge we see a red ball which is the group joiner.. if your not a member hit it and join, now you'll receive all the notices and posts of everything going on in the community
Soon after, look right .. yes its a functional library.. Clicking on the books gives you access to educational as well as fictional BDSM material. Take a few mins and have a read. To the left of the bookcase is a basket where, if you feel you have a spark to creating suitable Library material you can drop your masterpiece for possible inclusion to the Library. To the right are a couple of dispensers giving materials for Stars Building Workshop and the Prim Adjustment WorkshopTurning around is a welcome area, if your new to SL, here you can grab a few Freebies, clothes, skins, shapes as well as key BDSM items. Now you will start to feel more welcomed and part of our community.Continuing up the bridge is the Duchess "online and message" board. Here you see some of the Duchess's of Velvet Thorn. These Ladies are the senior staff members of Velvet Thorn. They help to run the sim and perform many functions such as holding events/discussions/teaching etc. Duchesses have the power to eject from the region and to ban either temporarily or permanently. VT Duchesses can invite new members and change group titles.
Turning back to the west.. you see heaven (or is it hell .. your choice) .. The clubhouse with some of the most beautiful, stunning and interesting ladies in SL.. Enjoy your stay

Around Velvet Thorn.. First Stop University
Labels: Dita, Exploring, Velvet Thorn University
Visitors to Velvet Thorn land in the fountain (one day I'll work out why) and usually wander to where the green dots in mini map are ie "The Clubhouse". However I wonder how many then go onto explore the wonderful sim we have here. So here we have a series of Blogs entitled "Around the Sim" in a hope it may encourage people to explore and discover new areas. I'm not going to do this in any complex way, so its simply anti clockwise around the teleport board, however I will resist temptation and keep the shopping area to last.
It looks similar to the club house, open and airy with a large number of student chairs facing the front, if your late to class stand at the back and be prepared for suitable punishment. In the picture below notice to the right at the front is a"play checklist" dispenser. Worth grabbing a checklist and filling it in, if you have a partner already, fill it in together its fun discussing your kinks.
At the back of the class on the right side is a Velvet Thorn donation station, consider dropping a few lindens in as every one helps.
As always the teacher has the best view, not only of all the eager faces of students and subs in the class, but also across the sim to this particular time the St Patrick Days dance area.
Classes are offered regularly and Mistress Jovial currently has a couple of posters outside listing her next ones.. make sure you attend, they are every Saturday at 10:30 am SLT. These and other classes will be listed in group notices and the Event Calendars around the Sim.
And lastly I just had to sneak a pic of the teachers pose .. remember to bring a apple.

Intro and First Blog
Labels: Dita, Intro
Star and Infinity asked me to join the blogging team here at Velvet Thorn, in a moment of madness I said yes. Last time I wrote something similar to a Blog was back in my Secondary school where I edited the School Newspaper, back then I had a constant stream of exciting news, from school related happenings such as the latest "Hockey Scores" ,"Who was in Detention this week and why ?" to world challenging events like "Who was wearing last years shoes" and "Who had the shortest skirt" (that would have been either me or my best school friend Fiona, the short skirt award that is not last years shoes as that was "what's her name" .. any way I digress, which you need to get used to as I do it a lot).
So thinking carefully I realised life at Velvet Thorn is not that different. I will probably change the "detention report" to who got banned this week and as with all key life events the important things like "Who is Wearing last years Shoes" will stay.
Backing up a little .. Who am I and why am I here ? Some of you regulars may know me from the Velvet Thorn Community Area and around the sim. If you have met me you'll know I am yet another SL'fer who regrets trying to be clever with their name. Please call me Dita or Miss Dita and please drop the "Von", my name for those who don't twig is a play on Dita Von Teese, a lady who shines glamour and style around the fetish and burlesque world or RL. I'm around most UK day hours during the week, if you have never come in world to greet the regulars at that time I have to ask "why not ? .. your missing out on all the fun .. so come on get in world and come say hello". Shame on you .... please pay 1 linden to the sim fund as a punishment.
To answer my earlier question of why am I here ? A few months ago I took the deeply personal decision to uproot my dedication from another FemDom community and join Velvet Thorn as I suspected and have proven these last few weeks it to be a vibrant, fun, friendly and exciting community (that's you lot if your confused).
I am passionate about everything I do, this includes things as diverse as setting fire to yet something else to shopping around the Million SL stores and outlets to ensuring a peaceful, harmonious and friendly environment exists for all who visit Velvet Thorn. I'm here to help, help in answering peoples questions, help people have fun, help cause mayhem, help keep order and therefore blame the earlier mayhem on remus... ohh and defiantly help in shopping if any one needs it.
And for those wondering .. the award for wearing the ugliest shoes from last year goes to .. Why not come to the Welcome area and ask me ;)
Hugs to all at Velvet Thorn Dita
