Tracing the Threads of History and Fantasy

The Fashion Designer

October 25, 2025

I love when furniture has animations that lend themselves well to interesting photography. The Drafting Table from DICTATORSHOP’s Heritage series is one such item. It has plenty to offer in terms of PG and Adult couples animations, but you also have a nice solo menu wit casual animations and a work menu for both genders that shows your avatar at work. The first image is a capture of that, the fashion designer eagerly pouring over her sketches on the table. The PG version has 132 animations and the Adult Vanilla 226. For customisation there are 10 wood textures and 5 metals and 4 different looks for the table—empty, architectural drawings, schematics and fashion designs.

For a bohemian look, I am wearing the Sommeil outfit from the Muses with an elegant choker from Petrichor, with tons of options for the metal and the gemstone. The hair is called Afterglow, a very sexy style from Wasabi for Kustom9.

Wallflower

September 24, 2025

One of the newest additions to DICTATORSHOP’s Heritage range is a wallboard and this one has a nifty new feature. Remember those Tempest whips they released a while back? The wallboard now features an interaction with the whips called Jolt. When the submissive is using the Solo poses (some of these are featured in my photos), the wallboard detects a strike from one of the Tempest-range whips and delivers a real-time jolt animation. Of course, there are over 210 animations in the wallboard to enjoy even if you don’t use the Jolt feature, but you can try it out with the free bullwhip demo so there’s no excuse not to! The wallboard can of course be customised in terms of textures, allowing you to fit it in with the rest of your decor.

Alas, I wasn’t able to do a video showing the feature at this time, since my partner’s computer is in for a fix-up. But I do think I managed to get some pretty classy yet kinky photos out of it. I decided to combine a couple of releases from Petrichor (the handy modesty covers are a collaboration with Ersch) for the outfit and the hair is the latest 50L Friday release from Wasabi, a cute style with two tight buns and optional bangs.

Eclectic Tastes

September 09, 2025

A bit peculiar. That was how they described the new master of the manor. He always dressed very elegantly—if in rather old-fashioned ways—and those who had called on him had found assorted curiosities decorating the drawing room into which they were invited. An odd-looking mirror with the frame adorned by what looked like crystals and mushrooms. A bookcase with strange volumes that no one had ever heard of. But he certainly seemed pleasant enough.

The bookcase by DICTATORSHOP is part of the Heritage collection and offers a choice of 10 woods and 5 metals for the texture as well as two different sets of rezzed items on the shelves. You can also leave them empty and rezz your own decor. The mirror by Blue Blood (for which I tweaked the reflection probe as I had trouble getting a reflection out of the box) and the suit by Pendulum are both available at We Love Role-Play, as always with a discount for the duration of the event.

I also picked up one of the latest hairstyles from No.Match, a braid in several lengths with a matching hairbase which comes fitted for both male and female avatars.

Heirlooms and Heritage

August 16, 2025

You still have a few days left to visit the current round of Midnight Order, where you can pick up many dark and delightful goodies, such as the beautiful Heirloom Myth set—which combines a mesh jacket with BOM lingerie—by The Muses and the luxurious Gilded Scarab jewellery collection from Yummy. To show it off, I made use of some of the sexy and attitude-filled animations from DICTATORSHOPs Salon Chair from the Heritage series. This series stands for timeless, rustic elegance, with rich woods and aged leathers. Perfect for a gothic setting, especially in the lush mahogany wood option. Also from the Heritage collection is the lingerie chest seen behind the chair, one of many decor pieces available.

The chair comes in PG (over 122 animations), Adult Vanilla (over 244 animations) and Adult Kink (over 290 animations, the last one including both maledom and femdom menues. For customisation, you have a choice between 11 aged leathers, 10 woods and 5 metals.
