Ivana Hanni wears my Collar

Just a little while ago it became official; Ivana Hanni wears the collar of Bernard Broono. It originally started as me simply trying to help out. Things grew from there and took on a momentum all their own. Ivana and I have known each other a long, long time by Second Life standards and maybe this should have happened a long, long time ago as well.

Kwai and I have made a stake and home in the Castle Ivana. Our friends are here, our loyalties are here. It was only one small step of logic, love and friendship to finally snap the collar around Ivana's pretty neck.

The Die is Cast

Kwaibebe Kaventipovic and the Library

I've started a new photographic project today. Castle Ivana has a variety of very nice themed rooms for the entertainment of patrons and VIP members. The only problem is most people don't get to see them unless they have laid down some linden. I've decided to start shooting a set of pictures in each room with the modelling assistance of at least one of Ivy's dedicated ladies. This might give some guests a chance to further consider the delights potentially awaiting them.

For the first room, The Library, I had the assistance of my own lovely Kwaibebe Kaventipovic. She seems quite at home among the books and rich wood textures. She seemed even more comfortable on the window couch.

I'll try to add at least two rooms a week this visual tour and, hopefully, have a different Castle Slave for each photo set. But I am sure that dear Kwai would be willing to stand in when needed.



Aprila Lamplight Missing

It has been almost two weeks now since Kwai and I went dancing with Aprila. That was the last we saw of her. She left me one E-mail the following morning and nothing since. There was no hint in anything she said or in the E-mail she sent. She simply vanished fron our virtual lives.

Kwai and I both hope she is safe and sound regardless. We will put up a candle in our home on Honey Isle to remind us of her.

The Fire is out

I was forced to confront a lot of painful things last night. I haven't slept well in about four days; only about two hours last night. I'll be only nine over the last few days. I'm pretty well exhausted.

When you're a photographer you have to find your creative inspiration. Right now I feel like I've lost mine. Sure, I can still shoot a better picture than 90% of photographers but in my mind the pictures I am doing now lack something. I usually find a magic in my model and manage to capture that in the image. I'm just not feeling that magic right now.

That inner fire that drives me is out right now. I'm not quite sure what to do about it. 

Tonight was a tough night for me

Tonight was a very tough night for me; Rocksie had her marriage to Michael. It would be a lie to say I don't love her anymore. Sometimes the feelings come raging up out of me like some sort of explosion. Sometimes I feel like a part of me has died.

The ladies at the Castle have been very supportive of me during all of this. Today I spent most of my day at the Castle shooting pictures and dancing with some of the ladies. It was good not to be alone.

My dear Goldie

Kwai was the most supportive in all this. She would honestly like to see some kind of friendship emerge from the ashes of all this. It is hard to bear the knowledge of what I've lost. Kwai is always there though. She loves me unconditionally.

My pretty Jill

I've found a home in the Castle. I can practice my photography here with an energy that I haven't had in quite awhile. I'm not sure any of these women can be the model that Rocksie was for me but they certainly do try.

There is nobody quite like Panty

I have no idea what the future holds for me in Second Life. I do know that I'm dedicated now to the Castle Ivana and my new friends there. I also know that two of them have sworn their dedication to me. It might not be the way I wanted things to be but it is what I have.

My precious Kwaibebe

I don't know that I'll ever partner again. Rocksie Slade is a hard act to follow. I do know that I'm finding out who my friends are and that I am still a man capable of love and being loved. Maybe that is all that really matters?

Clarissa Caxton

Clarissa is another one of the ladies who provide service at Castle Ivana. It's a little hard not to fall a bit in love with her when I take pictures of her. She has a charming elegance to her as well as warm personality.

For both Kwai and I the Castle Ivana has functionally become our virtual home. Kwai and I have been gradually rebuilding both Rosser's Landing sims into a set of gigantic photo studios.

In some ways I am reinventing myself; finding out what sort of man I really want to be both in the Real World and this Virtual World. I have always wanted to be a photographer. About 20 years ago I was, in fact, a freelance photographer with my own business, tax number and trusty Nikons.

I had to sacrifice that business due to Real World concerns. Now though within Second Life I am recapturing some of the same happiness and satisfaction of that past life. I'm even making a bit of linden while I'm at it.

Pictures can be such precious things. They capture a split second for all eternity. In Second Life so many ladies have created such incredible visions of beauty. Maybe this is just my destiny and karma being acted out.







Ivana Hanni

Ivana Hanni was one of my first friends in Second Life. I don't know what she saw in me but whatever it was she seemed to like it. As owner of the Castle Ivana she has made something of a name for herself. She is your go-to person for submissive women and naughty delights. She is also an incredibly intelligent and gentle person. I count myself as lucky that she decided to friend me.

Now during the Rocksie years I would vist Ivy's fine establishment but never partake of the companionship offered there. I was rather loyal to Rocksie during the entire time we were together. Once things crumbled though and I was in a bit of shock over it all I went to see Ivana as one of the sincere friends I had. Nothing happened other than our talking and her consoling me on my loss.

My next visit was a bit less innocent; after my years of fidelity and a certain feeling of betrayal I just had to let off steam. Ivana was more than willing to personally oblige me in my self therapy. This woman is wonderful that way as I am sure any VIP member of the Castle will swear too.

I am such a fortunate man to know this woman.





Aprila Lamplight

I don't have a lot of pictures of Aprila yet but that will change as time passes. She is becoming a new love for me and a wonderful sister to Kwaibebe. Though she wears a collar with my name on it her name is now inscribed on my heart in so many ways.

I'm sure I will be writing more of her in the future. Right now the words to describe how I feel about her escape me. She has shown her submission to me and now I fully intend to honor that commitment to me. Her sister Kwai has also found a place in her heart for our precious Aprila. There is joy again in the House of Broono.

Kwaibebe Kaventipovic

Shortly after Bernard lost Rocksie there were a lot of changes in his virtual life. Maybe the most shocking change for some was to see Kwaibebe Kaventipovic submit to Bernard as his pleasure slave. It wasn't long after that when they set up a home on Honey Isle and Kwai took on a position at the Castle Ivana as one of the Castle Slaves.

Ivana Hanni

The fact of the matter was that Bernard had been a friend to Ivana Hanni almost from the first day he rezzed into Second Life. After he partnered with Rocksie he never once looked for any relationship other than what he had with Rocksie. He would admit that Ivana would tempt him from time to time but he maintained his fidelity.

When things fell apart one of the first people to offer support to Bernard was Ivana. It wasn't long after that when he and Kwai rented a home there and Kwai became a Castle Slave. Even though they have two sims of their own they've become quite comfortable on Honey Isle.

Bernard gives credit to Kwaibebe for her love and support during the hard times of the last few weeks. He is proud to have her wear his collar and see her in the service of the Castle Ivana. She will always be first on his chain.
