This was probably one of the most trying building experiences of my career so far. It doesn't look like much (other than a pretty cool, creepy tree) at first, but believe me, a lot went into it, and I learned a lot in creating it. It's got several poses available, some animated, some not, some only mildly torturous, some excruciating. It doesn't do all I'd like it to do, but overall, I like it. A lot.
Most of the poses will work fine for either gender, but Bad Apples was really created with the male submissive in mind. Since it's a tree, the majority of the poses are hanging ones. There is one pose that allows for a second avatar, so that the master or mistress can sit on the poor slave's chest.
It also has one feature I haven't seen anywhere else in SL®: a CBT animation. There's a second bucket, as you can see below, that can be hidden when it's not in use.
The avatar pose is static (and really, would you want to move much with a bucket suspended from your jewels?), but the fun starts when you touch the tree. The upper bucket tips, and dumps an apple into the lower bucket. Animated prims are so much fun, don't you agree?The drawback for most people with this toy is its size. Its footprint is 4.25m x 5.75m x 8m. It comes soft-linked with a planter (not shown in the pictures) that adds a lot to the aesthetics, but increases the prim count from 59 to 61. But really, when you consider that some of the early BDSM toys couldn't even be rezzed on a 512 plot, it's not as prim-decadent as it might seem. It is relatively heavily scripted, even after I stripped out a lot of the unnecessary scripts. I think it's worth it.
There are eight pictures showing the various poses in use included in the ad for Bad Apples on Xstreet SL. And of course, you can buy it there also. You know you want one...and besides, can you think of a better Halloween decoration?
