Elegance Modelling Agency showcased LUXE Paris fashion in a super chic show illustrating the diversity of the brand.






Renowned for its couture-inspired elegance, LUXE Paris also owes much of its success to its diversity.

Avalon Chrome, winner of the LUXE Paris LOOK of the YEAR 2020, has joined the creative team after using her reign to learn the basics of the trade, while Liv Anton adds her artistic touch with her exclusive tattoos



The famous fashion house is also expecting a new baby, the LUXE Paris INDIA collection, creations by Valsnia inspired by her country. So the 2021 LUXE Paris LOOK of the YEAR winner is also preparing to join the design team!

GeekSpeak subject for Saturday 18th June at noon SLT: Let’s talk astronomy!


 

This week we will talk about stargazing.  For thousands of years, people have looked up at the stars, imagined pictures in the night sky, and tried to understand how the universe worked, what planets are, and how and why they move.  How would we think about the universe and our place in it if we lived on a planet where we could not see the stars?

Do you stargaze?  Join our star party at noon SLT on Saturday to talk about the stars and how we can enjoy the night sky. 

This is a field where amateurs can still do real science.  And it is so much fun.  Bring your friends.  And a telescope!

IM Vulcan Viper, who teaches a meditation class every Wednesday in the GeekSpeak auditorium, if you have ideas for new subjects.

SPOTLIGHT ON DARKHEARTS STRIP & ESCORTS - SLE REPORTING

 



SPOTLIGHT ON DARKHEARTS STRIP & ESCORTS



For many who have experienced Second Life and explored the many sides of the grid, it is no surprise that the adult industry is still very much alive. Unlike the gritty poor taste sex clubs of the past things are evolving in Second Life and becoming more accepted in the mainstream virtual world community. Many of the residents who have experience in virtual adult play have become professional and know the ins and outs of what adventure seekers are really looking for. It’s not about cheap one-night stands anymore, it’s about exploring those fantasies and learning things about themselves that add to their personal happiness and may even enhance their real-world sex lives and relationships. There’s no room for shame when adults want to play and explore, as long as they aren't breaking laws or harming others in the process, so with that said, we would like to introduce you to Master Paimon and Darkhearts Strip & Escorts Club.




Interview with Master Paimon



SLE: Hi Master Paimon, it is a pleasure to meet you and learn more about you and what you do in Second Life.  Can you tell us a little about you, where are you from and how did you discover Second Life?


Master Paimon: Hello! My name is Master Paimon, I am 37 IRL. I've been on Second Life only about a year after hearing about it for almost 10. A few friends had joined and had been encouraging me to as well. I finally broke down and joined, and now I'm hooked lol.



SLE: Well it seems it took you a bit to “come to the dark side” but glad you did. Would you consider Second Life an extension of your real life or just a game to explore your interests?


Master Paimon: It's funny, I love Second Life because it allows people the freedom to be their true selves without fear of judgments or drama. I've always lived my life that way, and im happy that the platform can give a taste of that to those who simply cannot because of RL work concerns, family issues, etc. For me, I live my life much as I do on SL (Minus some of the cool buildings of course).

I am polyamorous and goth in my real life, and I really don't care what anyone thinks about how I live my life. Its mine. It's short. Live the life you want to both on SL, and hopefully in real life as well.




SLE: Having the ability to be who you are without any judgment is always an alluring factor people have found in Second Life. So tell us, adult entertainment is big business in Second Life. It allows adults to explore their sexual interests in a safe and nonjudgemental way, what inspired you to create Darkhearts and what does your club offer SL residents?


Master Paimon: We came up with the name "Darkhearts" because we wanted it to be a place where people could explore their interests using the principle of S.S.C. (Safe, Sane & Consensual). Is it safe? Well, it's pixels on a screen and a roleplay, so no one gets hurt or emotionally damaged. Is it sane? Yes, it's pretty sane to have desires and to be able to act on them in a way that won't hurt anyone.

Is it consensual? The Darkhearts Dolls are able to consent to things they are willing to roleplay AND decline things that they don't want to. We also have some things our club does NOT allow, such as anything involving a minor even in roleplay. Minors CAN NOT consent, so that's right out. Our tag line is "Whatever your Darkhearts desire".


SLE: Well there are a lot of emotions that can happen and people need to remember that there is a real-life person behind the screen also. There are many adult clubs on the grid. What separates yours from the rest?


Master Paimon: I think our style is one thing. We're a little more like the Suicide Girls than Playboy here at Darkhearts. The other side of it is friendliness. We're not going to barrage you, we're not going to bite unless you ask us to, we're not going to judge you or ban you if you just want to come and party and listen to DJs we host nightly. We want it to be fun, friendly, and open to everyone.




SLE: It is very good to be open and accepting like that, a lot of places need to learn that and adopt that thought process. What type of events do you host and how often?


Master Paimon: We host TONS of parties, we have DJs nightly, and on certain days run DJs 24/7. We do fun costume parties, pool parties, and other fun stuff. We also love playing games in the club with everyone.


SLE: Music all day and night now that is a party we need to go to! Adult clubs can attract griefers, how do you ensure your escorts and strippers are not harassed? What precautions and rules do you have in place to avoid the drama?


Master Paimon: We understand griefers all too well, we all hate them. 24 hours a day there is always someone available that can remove them from the estate, which is different than just the club. Grief in our clubs, and you won't be able to come to any of my other clubs, our rentals, our bowling alley, and the arcade. Nothing. We also our ladies work together with our managers, and should a problem arise, they can help either diffuse the issue or outright ban them.


SLE: I like that all your employees are on the same page and help and assist each other if the need arises. So tell us, are you currently hiring? If so what positions are you offering and how can they apply? What qualifications must they have?




Master Paimon: We are hiring DJs, Hosts, and Escorts. DJs we always do a trial run with to see if they've got what we're looking for. Hosts same thing, we want to see that you are fun and engaging. Escorts, we are VERY selective about who we hire, but it's more personality. An Avi can be fixed, but it's the personality that cant. You've got to be fun and friendly, engaging, and have a sultry seductive side. That goes for voice, lovense, and text escorts.



SLE: Well hopefully you will see an influx after this gets published. When you arent at Darkheart, what other things are you involved in Second Life?


Master Paimon: I DJ at both of my clubs, I enjoy our bowling alley (were about to start a naked bowling league at Kinkiva, lol) I run my rental business. and I hang out in the dungeon with my submissives.




SLE: Naked bowling? Better watch where the bowling ball lands! What group can residents join to learn more about your club events?


Master Paimon: You can teleport to Darkhearts by going to Darkhearts-SL.com. Once there, be sure to join our group Darkhearts- Strip & Escort Club


SLE:  It was a pleasure meeting you. We wish you success with your new club. Is there anything else you would like to share about Darkheart Strip & Escort Club?


Master Paimon: Likewise! I'd just like to invite everyone to come to see for themselves. You don't have to buy a dance to come hang out, we enjoy the conversation, and love making new friends!

GeekSpeak subject for Saturday 11th June at noon SLT: Can we get rid of oil? Should we?

 


We have all heard about the problems of oil: climate change, pollution, wars.  So perhaps we should all stop using it?  Or do you think that we should continue to use it while we have it because there is nothing that can take its place?

What can replace oil?  Solar power, nuclear power, wind, or water power?  Will attempt to live without oil increase poverty?  Is that too high a price to pay?

If we do get rid of oil what will the world look like politically?  Which countries will be dominant in the new world?  Will the new political arrangement be an improvement?

How long will it take to get rid of oil? Ten years, fifty years?  And what waits for us on the other side?

Come to GeekSpeak at noon SLT on Saturday to discuss the end of the most dangerous time in the history of Earth.  Let’s celebrate together.  Bring your friends!

IM Vulcan Viper, who teaches a meditation class every Wednesday in the GeekSpeak auditorium, if you have ideas for new subjects.

Here they are! The LUXE Paris LOOK of the YEAR jury has chosen the second group of six semi-finalists. Arion Vella, DanniDelicious, Keira Rhapsody, SaphirAzur, VanessaJane66, and Xhivha are now in the race for the prestigious title and the fabulous gifts that come with it!

L$50K TO WIN!

No need to be a professional model since the organization benefits from a team of mentors and professors to guide newcomers.

That said, the LOOK of the YEAR competition is also a place where professionals in the trade shine. The ones who are not afraid to compete against beginners since each year a few rising stars reach the final. The 1919 crown was even won by a debutante. For the professional, this competition is therefore an unusual challenge, a little destabilizing, but how exciting!

STILL TIME TO PARTICIPATE

The jury will select 6 semi-finalists every week until end of June so applications are accepted until Thursday June 23 midnight.

We remind you that LUXE Paris is looking for an ambassador, a stylish woman who will represent the brand with elegance and charisma. Could it be you?

Very easy to participate: Put on a LUXE Paris outfit, add your charming style, capture a photo, put your official name in the title and send with FULL PERMISSIONS to the avatar LUXEParisLOOKoftheYEAR inworld. Gift to all participants!

Spotlight on Delcinea Sapphire- Double Vision Studio

 


Second Life is the perfect platform for nurturing creativity and sharing it with others in a unique way. Anyone can showcase their talents by creating groups or opening up a shop or gallery on the grid. No matter how big or small, the option is there and we are excited to help spread the word. The SL Enquirer met up with Delcinea Sapphire to learn more about her and Double Vision Studio.  If you are looking for a photographer to help update your profile pic or do affordable images for you, contact Delcinea!





Interview with Delcinea Sapphire



SLE: Hi Delcinea, it is a pleasure to meet you. Where are you from and how did you discover Second Life?


Delcinea: I am from Toronto Ontario Canada and I discovered Sl through a chat line talk with some friends in another game called RLC.


SLE: It’s always interesting to hear how SL was discovered since they don’t really advertise publicly.  Would you consider Second Life an extension of your real life or just a game to pass the time?


Delcinea: It is a small part of my rl here as I have some wonderful friends from all over and we can meet up and have fun or talk and chillax and find new adventures.


SLE: Very true, many form real bonds and friendships here in the virtual world. What made you get into photography in Second Life and how long have you been taking pictures?


Delcinea: A  dear friend thought I need to upgrade my looks, after spending quite a  bit of lindens I found a free studio where you could do a pic for your profile ..I took some shots and well showcase them in my profile leading to some people wanting a picture too...So I opened Double vision studio (dvs).





SLE: That is a great way to discover you have an eye for photography!  I reviewed your work on Flickr and I must say it has a  Sensual, Fantasy, and creative vibe. How would you define your style and what inspires you to capture and create the images you have in your collection?


Delcinea: Thank you for the kind words about my Flickr.  My style is well unique and different and what inspires me is some of the wonderful props that people have made and fashion designers.




SLE: Can you tell our readers more about Double Vision Studio and if you have plans for expansion?



Delcinea:  Double vision studio  (DVS)  is a  small studio that can offer many backgrounds and poses for a well-done profile picture or if the person has an idea I will do my best to make it become a wonderful memory of their SL.



SLE:  I like the lighting and shadows in your work, What techniques or programs do you like to use to enhance your photographs?



Delcinea: Sl windlights mostly with a  couple of free art programs and playing with the settings in graphics.



SLE: Talented photographers can be hard to come by at affordable prices. Are you currently for hire? If so, can you tell our readers more about the packages you offer and the price range?



Delcinea: I am for hire and willing to work around their times if needed. My prices range from about 800L (simple background and name )  to 1000++  for a set up of props.




SLE: Thats’ pretty affordable! You have been featured in the January 2017 edition of Beautifully Bound~Your BDSM Lifestyle Magazine. Can you tell our readers a little bit about that experience?
