Gangnam Style

Because one can never have enough of a Korean guy pretending to ride an invisible pony.

But seriously, the song is about the crass materialism of a tiny suburb in South Korea, with the singer lampooning one of the residents of that town.

And anything that makes Bill O'Reilly look like a total tool and beats up on Bieber can't be all that bad.

The Melancholy Angel of Tempura

The Melancholy Angel of Tempura (Lori Novo)

A couple days back I logged into SL and decided to visit one of my old hangouts. I was feeling somewhat maudlin, and by accident chanced upon a scene straight out of some painting.

There she sat, an angel clad in a diaphanous gown, her ethereal wings flapping languidly in the slight breeze. and framed by the dainty pink flowers of the surrounding trees. The whole panorama literally made me catch my breath, and I had to take a pic of the beautiful Lori Novo after asking her permission.

The whole scene spoke of melancholy, of some sadness that was made even more stark by the beauty that emanated from it. And I must be more empathetic lately, because the next day Lori confirmed that she was in fact sad that night.

It's heartening to know that one can still be affected by the beauty of SL, even after more than a year of wallowing in its filth.

Update to Lemur Rental Box

After the usual pestering by Sylvie Etoile, I added several new features to the Lemur Rental Box System and I must say this product is getting really robust after all the added features.

The new features include:

1. Rental box displays late texture and how much time the renter is late
2. In Late Mode, when renter pays, the rental box takes into account payments for late days.
3. Anyone can now pay for renter when rental box is in rented mode.

To be honest, the vast majority of sales come from the sick toys of the Depraved Monkey, but it still feels good when people use the rental box because this product once kept us afloat when we first started last year.

Have you been naughty or nice?

Looks like some people have been naughty and not nice as the holiday season approaches, as I've seen a spike in the number of people buying the Santa's Revenge sex toy.

We did this when we were just kinda starting in December of 2011 I believe, and its age shows, but it's still a fun toy to have for people who think Santa's number one priority is torturing and fucking his constituents, not necessarily in that order.

And as always, get one of the older sex toys and I'll send you another one free. I never advertize that fact, but I've been doing it for awhile now. After buying Santa's Revenge, The Fuck the Drunk Futon, or the Plumber's Pleasure, just IM me (monkeyking2011) and I'll send you the gift.

So, have a happy holiday and try not sticking candy canes in anyone's tushy in real life - well, unless of course they beg you to ;-)

DM Petter Released

We released the DM Petter today, click here to see it in the marketplace.

However, we never did add any music to the toy, mainly because we were worried about copyright issues. Saying that, the item is still something that is pretty cool, with some sexy sexy dances, as demoed by the lovely TrixxyBell below.

Cumming Soon : DM Petter

In addition to causing addiction, heartbreak, and (alarmingly enough) organ-damage, the beautiful TrixxyBell loves to cause copious amounts of drooling, and what better way to do this than by using our newest toy, the DM Petter.

When you wear the DM Petter, anyone who pets you on the head will cause you to break out in spontaneous dancing, from a selection of 11 random sexy sexy dances. Even better, if you wear your DM Pussy or DMH Penis, petting will excite your genitals and inevitably create an orgasm of seismic proportions.

You can also pet yourself and use a pop-up menu to manually select which dance to activate - always a party favorite lol.

The DM Petter will be released very soon. We just need to add some random music to the  dances ;-)

Happy First Rez Day to Rae!

 

"Watta voice!"

An (advanced) happy rez day to one of my older SL friends, Rae (loveangelrae). 

I still remember the first time we met her, she was still less than a month old, a noob. One thing I remember was how determined she was to learn new things, how she kept bugging us for building tips because we were just starting out too at the time, and how she gave us our first (and only!) commissioned job, a couch that we had to place poses in lol. 

And look at her now. She's accomplished a lot in such a short time, and she's currently a builder, model, teacher, and budding scripter. She also is one of the best Voice Actresses in SL, and a very good singer too. I am very proud of her.

I wish her all the best going forward, in SL and (much more importantly) in RL a well.

To boldly go where no Second Life Ass has gone before

There's no denying it. There are quite a few people who are lovers of the human butt. They want to spank it, whip it, run their hands all over it and kiss it, poke their penises and other miscellaneous toys into it, and delve into its deep inner secrets. There's just something about those curvy muscled round globes with that delectable and deliciously naughty dark center that draw people to them, and charge them with an eroticism far removed from their basic functionality.

We would love to create something for all the ass-lovers out there in SL, but just introducing some basic item with limited features would be a disappointment. It would have to be innovative and unusual. It would have to be something depraved.

The other problem is that most people already have the shapes they want in their avatars, including the ass, so creating something to replace the original shape would also be problematical.

The possible solution, which we've discussed before, would be to have a wearable sculpt of the anus (which can close and open) or introduce an outer transparent "layer" that would go over the the original shape and add functionality to it. I'm thinking of all the functionality of a normal RL ass, as well as features not normally possible in RL. I've also seen some items in SL that create various "assholes", and that would be fine too. Plus, we would include some basic anal toy with it, just like we added a bonus Dildo to the DM Pussy and helped make it the strongest selling full pussy in SL.

I have to admit I'm excited about such a project, and perhaps we can release it before the end of October. If anyone has any suggestions, feel free to IM the avatar depravedmonkey. And remember, we crave depraved, so don't be shy about telling us about your most unusual suggestions.

Cool Spots in SL (Part 1): Poppyport

Lots of aircraft to view and admire.

There are a lot of  cool places that I think embody what SL should be: a place for creative people to make creative things and showcase them. Some of these people have become my friends, so I'll take the time once in awhile to introduce their work.

Sylvie Etoile has been one of my more demanding customers, and I like that (to a point lol) because it makes the product better when people give good suggestions. Once we became friends, she introduced me to her own work, an honest to goodness SL airport called Poppyport, where you can fly aircraft, helicopters, gyrocopters, autogyros, tiltrotors,and various other types of flying contraptions. There is also a marina and harbour next door with berths for rent. I was even surprised to discover that there are airlines flying SL that use her airport!

You can choose from several different planes to fly.

In fact, there is a whole subculture of people who fly airplanes and live the life of flying in SL, which include airlines like Vulture Air and groups for women aviators in SL such as the SL 99's, and talking to Sylvie certainly opened my eyes about this little known and fascinating niche.

Sylvie also owns several residential properties (a notecard to the properties are available inside the airport terminal), and this is one place where she uses the Lemur Rental Boxes. I visited one and was very surprised to see how much the product was modded to accomodate the look and feel of the place. She basically tranferred scripts to new objects that she created and embedded the thing on the wall of the property. Looks very good actually, and she graciously offered to help me create better textures for the one sold in the marketplace.

This Lemur Rental Box looks hell better than the one that's sold!

MK's Little Second Life Dictionary (Part 3)

"Wouldn't it suck if the girl in red was actually a cableguy named Tony?"

   
Gor - because we all know basing one's entire life on a rather boring and immature science fiction/fantasy book is cool (ahem, scientology)

Magic Box - it's not magic cuz it seldom works.

Master - someone with an enlarged cranium in SL who probably makes minimum wage in RL.

RLV - when everyone pretends you can't simply turn off the viewer to get out of the damn cage.

Tier - at least you pay taxes and (most times) get something tangible in return.

MK's Little Second Life Dictionary (Part Deux)

"Cuz we all know penguins have sexy boobs"

BREEDABLES - a fun way to throw away lots of money that would otherwise be wasted on rent or mortgage.

ESCORTS - will pretend they actually care for you if you throw enough lindens at them. Most likely male in RL. and if female, is probably ugly.

FURRIES - people whose pets hide when they coo "i wuf u".

LINDENS - pretend money used to pay for pretend mansions, where you can engage in pretend sex and raise pretend families. The conversion rate to US dollar depends on the waxing and waning of the full moon, and the general mood and disposition of certain Linden Lab employees. Rumor has it that Oat Bran in the morning results in a strengthening of the linden against the dollar due to higher flow rates.

RL - that thing that everyone in SL desperately wants to avoid.

MK's Little Second Life Dictionary (Part 1)

"Noobs often engage in bizarre behavior that would have made them blush in RL"

AFK - "I'm doing the dishes. Fuck off!"

ALT - officially sanctioned way to cause trouble and act like a total fucktard without anyone knowing it's you.

GRIEFER - people who are slightly below cockroaches on the evolutionary scale. They like bright flashing lights and lotsa explosions.

NOOB - Someone who wears boxes and has no genitals.

SLEX - Sex for those who don't get any in real life.

Break

"I need more good SF books, and less SL crap."

It's been a very busy summer, with the new DMH Penis upgrade going out in mid-June, then the DM Pussy introduction on July 20, the DM Whip on August 3, and now the DM Vibrator Set launching today.

I have to admit, I feel burnt out and tired, and it would be good to have a break from all the shit and filth and bullshit that swirls around SL (none of which means anything in the real world). Plus, lotsa RL stuff that needs doing, which of course is more important by far than SL.

There'll be more innovative products I think come Fall, but for now it would be good to take a break and take stock of our progress, our misadventures, and our failures this last couple of months.

Introducing the new DM Vibrator Set with Facial Expression Menu

The new DM Vibrator Set is in the market.

It is fully integrated with the DM Pussy, and is meant to supplement the Pussy.

In addition to self-play, the set comes with a remote control that allows the user of the remote to trigger the vibrator from a long distance away, and induce the unsuspecting wearers of the DM Vibrator and DM Pussy to spontaneously and helplessly orgasm repeatedly in front of surprised passersby.

Or some lucky guy or gal could have their girl partner wear the DM Pussy and a DM Vibrator, then use the Remote Control to trigger the vibrator during play to heighten her excitement, until she cums and squirts all over.

Features include:

3 DIFFERENT VIBRATORS included, with each one being configurable and MOD, so you can change the color and size to your liking..

REMOTE CONTROL - Allows another person in the same region to trigger and control the vibrators from far off. Tested up to 200 m away.

BLACK LIST - prevents black-listed avatars from controlling vibrators even with the remote.

4 ANIMATIONS - can be triggered by the owner or another person using a dialog menu. Also has vibrator buzzing SOUND.

HIDE MODE - allows the owner to hide the fact she is wearing a vibrator.

FACE EXPRESSION MENU - allows user or partner to control the facial expressions of the vibrator wearer. This is a new innovation that will surely increase your enjoyment level. No more blank idiotic stares from avatars even while they are doing radical slex activities.

DM PUSSY INTEGRATION - vibrators will affect the excitement level of worn DM Pussy to provide the ultimate in entertainment. Owner can specify the Jolt levels of each of the vibrators and when triggered, owners wearing the DM Pussy can be induced to cum repeatedly and helplessly.

Facial Control Menu - A new innovation in the DM Vibrator Set

"The right tool for the job!"

Don't let it be said that DM products are rush jobs.

I had solved the problem of the vibrator sound by using an RL Vibrator and converting it to the sound format required by Second Life, which is PCM WAV format, 16-bit, 44.1kHz, mono.I took pics for the web market, and was thinking of placing the product in the market by end of day today, but then while testing one of the DM Vibrators it struck me that one aspect of sex toys in SL that usually is forgotten is avatar facial expressions. Many a toy in SL has been deemed lacking because no matter what sorts of depraved and atrocious actions were being perpetrated on it, the avi continued to display the default benign idiotic facial look

Why shouldn't people be able to control the facial expression of their avatars, since we all know this aspect contributes a lot to the total enjoyment of the toy? So beginning with the DM Vibrator Set, people will now have access to a Facial Menu that will allow them to specify the facial expressions of their avatar.

I believe I should be able to get this done today, assuming no RL activities get in the way. I believe this feature will be very useful to people and contribute tremendously towards their enjoyment.

PS nearly 300 people have the DM Pussy only a month or so after its introduction. Thank you all for your support.

I need a vibrator (sound) real bad!

Incredibly enough,  the only thing holding back the release of the DM Vibrator Set is the fact that I have not been able to find a good enough vibrator sound. I've been trolling youtube in vain for the past couple days now, all to no avail. I did find a funny clip of Elizabeth Pena finding true love via the touch of her vibrator, but I thought the sound was too low. I have a couple of vibrators in real life, so I guess I'll just have to improvise and use sounds from those, avoiding any copyright infringement whatsoever as a side bonus.

Sex toys should only be seen when needed

"They check in...but they never check out!"

 I was setting up a hanging cage by the side of my little tiki home while chatting with Happy about an RLV problem she had, when an idea popped into my head. I wanted the next product after the DM Vibrator Set to be RLV-enabled (since I was learning about it, I might as well use it), but I'm an atrocious builder at best, so something simple (involving at most square and rectangular blocks haha) would be best. Say, a simple slave display apparatus, two columns or three, with cuff holders on each column.

The front of my home faces the ocean, and I was thinking of placing the columns such that the slave would be stretched out between them and facing the sea. This would give a good view of the slave's rear and back from the living room and outdoor rattan chairs.

The problem would be that when unoccupied, the columns would look quite ugly and destroy the sea view. So it struck me that there is no reason why the owner of the display toy should not be able to make the entire apparatus invisible (and phantom) when not needed! This way, the toy would not get in the way of people when not in use. This feature would be very similar to the way people can "hide" their DMH Penis or DM Pussy.

Btw, a quick note: the DM Vibrator Set is pretty much ready, and it'll probably be put in-store by next week. Thank you again to all the kind users of the penis and pussy tandem.

DMH Penis works on full mesh monsters too

"Someone call 911"

from the journal of an unknown avatar:

I had an unfortunate accident one night while roaming through a dark sim, and was besieged by a pack of werewolves. I took my katana, which I last used on some fucker who was trying to rape a friend of mine last year, and dismembered the flea-bitten monstrosities. But alas, not before I had been bitten twice in a leg and arm.

Needless to say, the change that happened several days later was painful and grotesque, and I had to hide myself under the floorboards of my new home to prevent the neighbors from wondering about the harsh growls and screams that I uttered as the transformation took its way with me.

I emerged a true creature of the night, a meter taller than before, with a full mesh body covered in tangled, matted, dark hair. To my horror, my DMH Penis had undergone the same change, and it was now a long stout rod of blackest night, fully tumescent and dripping thick white semen.

I run. I run under the full moon, from sim to sim, as people fled from the strange growling sounds that emanated from my razored mouth and announced my passage.

I changed back to my human self later that night, but only god knows when this monstrosity that is within me might suddenly emerge,  and I shudder to think of the horrors that my hellish bloated member could inflict on some doomed and wretched woman.

"Losing yourself" in a fictional character can affect your real life

"Ummm, yeah, that's the inner me...really!"

Interesting study from Ohio State University that confirms what most people would believe, that even just reading some book about fictional characters can have strong impacts on what you do and feel in real life. Since SL is significantly more immersive than simply reading a book, people have to be careful about how they portray themselves in this virtual world, and be careful to prevent "leakage" of SL activities that could cause negative consequences into the real world.

Samlowry Hawks was right

"Because we all know pink and blue balls exist in RL..."

 
Sometimes we get so wrapped up in the never-ending drama that is SL that we forget that in the end, it's just a game, something to while away our precious lives much like kids wasting their time playing PS3 or X-Box video games when they should be out playing in the sun. Our honesty, integrity, loyalty. These are priceless things  that we expose to the vagaries of SL, and sometimes we fail to uphold them because we are caught up in the moment, lost in the limbo and emotional whirlwind that sometimes arrives like a storm in the surreal environs of our virtual wonderland.

So once in awhile I have to remind myself what really matters to me. I am here to create things that hopefully make people happy, to take care of the friends who are loyal to me and care for me, and to explore what other people have dreamt and made virtually real.

That is my happiness here, and my contentment. Everything else is, as they say, pixels in the wind.
