Sinistrati and the Masks of Secret Societies

(click to enlarge)

STORYLINE: Ludovico Sinistrati the First was the Grand Inquisitor of the Vatican in the 15th century. Sinistrati is most well known for writing the bible on Demonology, especially the Incubus and Succubi. But what is not known is how he came into this knowledge. It all began on a mission to purge pagan secret societies and their hedonistic rituals.

Check out this killer outfit by Pucca Firecaster Creations, the Inquisitor. It comes in two verisons, one with chains, book, and pages, and one without. There is a hud to change the robe color, chain colors, book cover, and page art. Very cool and on sale now at We <3 Role Play.

STORYLINE: Members of the secret societies wore masks to hide their true identity. Wearing his own mask, Grand Inquisitor Sinistrati infiltrated their sinful organizations. Much of their confessions under torture were the basis of Daemonialitate et Incubis et Succubis.

There are several awesome masks in the Twisted Carnival and Eyes Wide Shut hunts and related gachas. Both hunts ends September 30th.

News Event: Sand and Sea Expo

(click to enlarge)

The first Sand and Sea Expo sponsored by Oceania Breedables runs from May 2 to the 5th. I spent the day there and had a blast. Anyone who has ever tried to make their own cozy little beach paradise will know names like Headhunters, The Beachstore, and MnM, but you will discover even more stores as you browse around and find great beach items in mesh too! The best sailing boats in SL are also at the Expo, including the model very popular with my buds who love Motor Loon. Grab the free scuba gear, and get wet because under the sea are more incredible stores like Deep Seas, Cetological Museum, and Safe Waters Foundation that will put the happy mer-dance in your fins. So many of the stores I have loved over the years all in one place, plus freebies and Beachcomber hunt gifts too? Awesome! *raises glass of free drink sex-on-the-beach from Chez Moi in salute.* Well played, my fellow beach bums, well played.

UPDATE:  This is in the comments for the post at FFFM, but I post it here to other people incase you missed it:
Hello. The boat is what I won from Jp Collection. If I remember correctly, that one of the random drop ones. I have seen other people win a different boat. The Nemo was also free, a small racing boat. Another marina gave out a gift certificate you can use to collect a prize (a boat?). And the Water Trike was also free. .. But I want you get a boat! Head over the Tradewinds Yacht club. There is a fantastic free racing boat there. In fact, it's my favorite free boat. The Flying Fizz. Enjoy! ^^ http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Dex/191/26/24

On Black Caesar

1700s. Black Caesar, according to traditional accounts, was a prominent African tribal war chieftain. Widely known for his "huge size, immense strength, and keen intelligence," he evaded capture from many different slave traders. Caesar was finally captured, but escaped into Florida Keys and began a life of piracy. For nearly a decade, he raided shipping from the Florida Keys and later served as one of Captain Blackbeard's chief lieutenants aboard the Queen Anne's Revenge. Caesar's Rock, one of three islands located north of Key Largo, is the present-day site of his original headquarters and named in his honor.

On Red Lady Veronica

1500s. One of the most cunning pirates of the sixteenth century who never revealed her identity. She commonly disguised herself as a singer or an entertainer to be brought on ships and once the crew ever advance on her or leave her by herself she would take her disguise off having a top, pants and her weapons underneath. She would then immediately kill all aboard the ship and sail to sea.

The Founding Fathers

(click to enlarge)

This Fourth of July, I would like to honor a forgotten founding father. Inspired by the Iroquois Constitution, Benjamin Franklin took this model of governing to the Constitutional Convention. Ideas like the Bill of Rights, a system of checks and balances with 3 branches of government, and "We the People" were influenced by the wisdom of the native peoples. In October 1988, Congress passed Concurrent Resolution 331 to recognize the influence of the Iroquois Constitution upon the US Constitution and Bill of Rights. Happy Birthday USA!
