My recent outfit is one of the free avatars available at the Welcome Center of SL16B. There are two of each for male and female. The colors of clothing can be changed by HUD. The eyeglasses are my own. There is a big change from the first beginner avatars with pink shirt and blue pants. I feel nothing when I am making up my face but this time my heart throbbed when touching the male face. The avatar is not a mesh type but an old one with less freedom for adjustment, but the skin was good and might bring in a real feeling.

The pink towers are by Guiniverre Despres. There are sixteen towers related to SL16B? The sixteenth is the tallest but it could be interesting if the heights were related to the number of SIMs for every year. Or it may be too ironic?
The art that I like,“Walking under the 50’s light line” by Von Loopen.
The surrounding exhibitions were erased to show the beautiful grids.
Shui Mo by FionaFei, a Chinese American, depicting a common theme or landscape seen in many traditional Chinese paintings. This art is to celebrate SL 16th birthday and also serves to underline the political turmoil in Hong Kong that troubles China.
I cannot comment about the political issue but is a nice experience to walk through the cool 3D art with moving ambarella and swimming fish, that is only possible in SL.
A part of comments by the artist:
“The umbrella is a literal and symbolic representation of the Umbrella Movement that is happening in China, where citizens carry umbrellas to protect themselves from the tear gas of police. It eventually has become a symbol of their passive resistance. If seen from a distance, I hope for the viewer to see a Chinese landscape built from this population who are painting a "new China". It is important to note that the artwork does not favor any side of the bill, but rather, it stands an observational piece and symbolic view of the modern-day landscape of China.”
The art can be seen more symbolic when seen from the entrance hall of the theater across the street.
