Highlights - 19/04/2017

I've not yet decided how frequently I'll do these, but here's the next post!

Restrained Freedom moves to a new sim

RF, run by Katie Paine, has now moved to a new sim. This of course means your old landmarks won't

work anymore, but I've linked to the location below for those that need to grab it! Otherwise, you can always find it in search, from the group notice for a limited time, or from the support group.

The new sim should be far less laggy, and a different build. Its still under construction, but some areas are functional, and the asylum, a highlight of the old location, is under construction with a new building and layout.

NGW releases

Naraya, owner of New Gate Workshop, recently put out a new posture collar, as well as a pair of 'gloves.' These gloves are a tad unusual, more like mittens, long mittens, with rather a wide ring the sub is forced to hold, for the enjoyment of those of the male persuasion, while the other option has the hand in a tight fist with a nice, large toy of an intimate nature for those that like the idea of been niiiiice and full.

To my knowledge, the NGW collar functions as you'd expect, and includes the options to hold the head stiffly. It has the NGW HUD, inspired by the one used by KaS, for recolouring and altering its appearance, but otherwise I believe uses Opencollar scripts, or derivatives of them. They're functional, but the selling point here is clearly the design. Naraya makes very nice looking gear!

RR Gag Hotfixes

There was a couple bugs with the 1.30 update to the gags released last week. These updates affect all bar the hood. The mummy and tape had a visual issue when using total, and require you to rather edit the names of them (details here - https://realrestraint.blogspot.co.uk/2017/04/another-hotfix-for-rr-mummy-and-tape.html ) or request a replacement from any of Marines updaters.

The other update affects the openmouth plugin. You can do a soft update for these (just clicking update, not replace) currently only at the Dark Wishes updater. Alternatively, you can go to your debug settings and locate "RevokePermsOnStopAnimations." This bug was caused by the gags only asking for permission to animate once, and would require a reset to animate again. Updating the gag is a good idea, but the debug option can be buggy and might be worth disabling anyway.

Artist Spotlight - Shay Finchy

Shay Finchy posts to a gallery over on Deviantart. Her updates are not too frequent, but tend to of high quality, making good use of lighting and effects. And yes, I quite often appear in her gallery, so this is a bit of a personal plug as well!

In her gallery you'll find primarily latex and bondage, as well as lots of mummification. The bondage is usually quite strict or all encompassing, and often with some context given to the image in its description. She does minimal editing, if any as well, so the majority are raws straight from secondlife.

She also contributed the pictures used for the RF section of this post!


Visit her here and leave her some comments and feedback!

See something wrong or incorrect, or just want to let me know about an event, release or something else, then contact me in world!

BDSM Highlights - 12/04/2017

Yes! The blogs still getting a lot of views, so why leave them with nothing new? So as of today we are beginning something new - a news roundup of sorts. What all will be in these posts? Well, new releases, updates to RLV and products, spotlights, and all sorts of other stuff!

And so onto the news!

RR Gags updated for Bento!

Today, Marine Kelley updated all the RR gags to support bento heads! This is more than just a simple mouth opening though. Each lock of her gags has custom animations, and her old Ball gag and Ring

gag? They have been completely remade in mesh, with new settings. Want an apple sized ball gag? That exists now! It also adds bit gag and the ability to shove a nice far, extra large dildo in yours or others mouths.

It does require some setup through a plugin. To summarise, you need to select your head from the plugins menu, and whether you want wide, normal or narrow.  There's a lot more to it than that of course, best read about over on Marines post about it - https://realrestraint.blogspot.co.uk/2017/04/update-to-rr-gags.html

 This update applies to the ball gag, ring gag, deluxe gag, isolation hood, mummy gag and tape gag. All require replacements, so I'm afraid you'll need to do some refitting.

I highly recommend getting this update, especially if you own a bento head! The bento animations are delicious, and the new ball and ring sizes, and now mesh, add a ton of value to those older gags! Gogo, update and nom those gags!

Restrained Freedom Sock Legbinder

Another in Katies recent sock bondage line. Designed to match the gag and sock armbinder she released previously. Like Katies other leg bondage items, it has a variety of poses, as well as the ability to fall down if you hop around too much.

I've not personally used any of the sock products, so I can't attest to their quality, but if you have them and wanted more, here you go! Its not fitted to a particular body, so your milage may vary based on whetehr you use the base body or a mesh one.

You can get it in world at: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Xoliantha/55/192/501
At this time, its not on the RF marketplace, but here is the link: https://marketplace.secondlife.com/stores/21713

Note that RF is moving to a new sim soon!

KDC boot update  

Over on Kyrahs blog - http://kdc.ethernia.net/ - we have been getting regular updates on her new product, a pair of thigh length boots! As of now, we know these will support the base SL avatar and Avatar 2.0, though hopefully they will still fit other mesh bodies as well.

The boots themselves look interesting, with a fancy quilted design. Definitely worth keeping an eye on if you're a fan of her work!

Spotlight
 
This section is still in the teething stage.. but todays Spotlight will be on a club - Delust!

This is a club dedicated to fetish, right down to its dress code. Casual wear won't pass here, its gotta
be full on fetish! Heavy rubber, leather, bondage.. You name it. But a warning, this code is strictly enforced. break it, and you are out!

And why would you want to break it? The club has a good atmosphere, and generally does have people talking. If its silent, don't hesitate to start chatting away, someone will join in!  Get all dressed up nice and fetishy, and spend some time in lovely company.

The club itself is quite classy, well laid out, with dance tables, a table for greedy, side rooms and a basement for a little more privacy and plenty of cages and bondage equipment to help control squirmy submissives!

In Nicoles, the owners, words, she follows no particular style, as that would restrict her too much. She was however inspired by art deco, noveau, jugend and burlesque, to help give the club its own feel.

If you have any events, know of any products been released or updated, or anything else you think should be included, send me the details in world!
