Happy Memorial Day

Please visit Sunrise Mansion & Art Gallery's fascinating display of history and a recreation of the famous cemetary and monument dedicated to 251 black soldiers exhumed from a Charlotte, NC mass grave. Pay tribute to the sacrifices made by men of African descent to demonstrate their patriotism, in pursuit of freedom.  Come learn about our current holiday's origins as Decoration Day and a commemoration of black Union veterans of the American Civil War, especially these most recently acknowledged, who finally have the resting place that they deserve.  The installation will be on display until June 1st  at

Into Fantasy Skins?

If you are interested in trying out some unique makeups for role-play, you might want to check out CStar Skins.  The store specializes in offering limited-edition skins, an interesting concept if you want to keep your look truly unique.  Unfortunately, their dark tone in the fantasy skins like Bloody Mary, Inferno or GoreJus is still only a light brown (but it is genuinely brownish), while their tan will work for light-skinned girls.  The demos I tried  came with cleavage, hairbase and no-hairbase options which looked fine on the body, but I think some skin tone in the face may have been sacrificed to render the makeup colors--so the face didn't really match the body!  The store is busy right now because of a recent posting on a freebie blog announcing the Lucky Chair giveaways, but experimenting with skins there, and adding some adventurous choices to your inventory can be worthwhile and fun.  The most interesting thing I saw there was a shape and skin --inspired by the recent James Cameron film Avatar--called Neptune Savage, and though the Ocean Teal (blue) version that most closely resembles the Na'vi character played by Zoe Saldana is sold out, there are versions in Ruby (red), Emerald (green) and Poisoned (purple with some green highlights) that are a pretty cool way to totally transform your own avatar.  The Geisha skins come in Modern and Modern Stone versions; while the former comes in natural skin tones with dramatic and unusual but still pretty makeups, the latter offer a total transformation of your look for really challenging your imagination--the skin of your body is grey, like stone, but it is still quite pretty too.  Unico Solo's store is at http://slurl.com/secondlife/Cstar/156/103/1661/
