Domaine Imperium

Domaine Imperium is a community focused on the LGBT BDSM community but is open to all in the lifestyle as well as those interested in it.

Domaine Imperium

This is a community - a place where all can come and enjoy the scenery, talk with like-minded people, and indulge in the aspects that make BDSM so fulfilling.

Domaine Imperium

This community was founded based on qualities that we at Domaine Imperium feel Second Life as a whole were missing.

Domaine Imperium

It's the crossroads between the extremely disciplined atmosphere and the extremely relaxed.

Feel free to bring up conversations of any topic here.

Here comes spring!!!!!!!!!!


It's been rather cold in the U.S. with winter upon us and our sim has represented that with snow, ice skating, and the occasional flurry. But now we're tired of the cold and we'd like to invite everyone to come warm themselves in the beauty of Spring!



The reds, the yellows, the purples, and greens, all the beautiful colors of Spring can be found on the grounds of Domaine Imperium. The flowers will bloom, the waterfall will flow gently down the side of the mountain, birds will return to the sim to greet the warmer weather. And it will all be visible from the sim's multi-passenger rowboat where you and a loved one, or a particularly good friend, can enjoy a cuddle or a slow boat ride around the waters of Domaine Imperium.

"Be Mine...by Force" a recap



Domaine Imperium's "Be Mine...by Force" dance went off beautifully. Packed from the start, not a soul without a dance partner through the whole thing. The rules all followed to a T, it was an exhilarating experience for all wearing the badges, especially!



The singer, Anek Fuchs, was terrific with a strong, soulful voice through a wide range of beautiful love songs. Followed by DI's own resident DJ Carver Corona who filled the ball room with techno music to the end of the event, including a short stint in which many of the women in attendance actually ended up dancing on poles thanks to a delightful and much enjoyed loophole in the rules of the badges.



We were happy to see everyone having lots of fun and look forward to our next big event! Thanks to everyone that attended and especially to those that tipped!

Equipment/Toy Build-off


Domaine Imperium is having its first ever build off!  If you are curious what a build off is, it's a contest where you build something from scratch in competition with others around you.  This contest will be about building a BDSM device.

There will be two levels of difficulty:

-Novice Entries, which will have no limitations and basic qualifications.

and

-Advanced Entries, which will be required to include sculpts and/or mesh in their official contest build as well as at least 1 animation.


Those that wish to partake in the Novice competition must show their portfolio or an example of their best work to and Officer or Staff by February 18.  Those that wish to partake in the Advanced competition must show their portfolio or an example of their best work between February 16 and February 22.

Anyone can submit for entry, but there will be a limited number of qualifiers in the contests and a portfolio submission does not guarantee a place.  Winners will be determined by a 3 judge panel and prizes will be a combination of a minimum cash award, donations, as well as a place in the DI store.

Color Photography Contest


Domaine Imperium is excited to announce that we've begun a second photography contest as of the 8th of February! This time with a a color theme and a twist! The rules are as follows:

1.) All pictures must be of a BDSM device or toy. People are optional, but the focus must be on the device or toy.

2.) The photography needs to be done in SL. Meaning that the BDSM equipment/toy, people in the shot and the environment MUST be in SL. The items can then be taken into something else (like Photoshop) and touched up if need be but over 80% of the picture needs to be verified as pure SL.

3.) The finished product must be 1024x768 and in color.

*example picture


4.) Absolutely NO text is allowed in the picture.

5.) The winner will be judged by the members of Domaine Imperium (you have to be a group member - guest level and above) to vote.

6.) ANYONE can enter this contest.  There can be up to three (3) entries per person maximum. One time L$50 registration fee (which is refundable after the contest is complete).

7.) By submitting your picture into the contest, you submit all rights to your picture to Domaine Imperium. Credit will be given to the photographer if the images are used afterward.

8.) Pictures MUST be FULL permissions, and be submitted by February 22nd, 11:59pm SLT! Registration form and fee must be paid at the time of submission. Send registration form and fee to Linnie Gothly (Nashari Hynes). *contact Linnie Gothly for registration form*

Winners will be judged and selected by the full level members of Domaine Imperium in a classic voting system starting on February the 23rd. Prizes will be in Lindens ranging from L$250 to L$1000. Voting begins Saturday, February 23 at midnight and ends Sunday, February 24 at 1p.

We invite everyone to be a part of this contest and hope all submissions will be as unique and creative as the ones submitting them. If there are any questions we ask that they be directed to Lady Laurie7983 Gothly or any other Domaine Imperium Staff member.

Pet Beds & Rebuilds

We have released a new item over the weekend. It's a pet bed made of mesh. It appears to be getting some decent purchases. If people want more animations added to it or perhaps some more textures please let me know (Linnie Gothly).


The item can be purchased at the marketplace or at the Domaine Imperium sim. You can also see the item at the Domaine Imperium sim.


----

We are also in the process of swapping out some of the made items throughout the sim for mesh. If you aren't able to see them please make sure you have a mesh viewable viewer.
