I didn’t think I was going to get to do this noob blog challenge because I’m ruthless about deleting old stuff from my inventory, but then I remembered a box I packed away months ago. The skin, hair, and eyes that vintage Brandy is wearing are the first items I bought in mid 2007.

I opened my SL account in February 2007, but I didn’t actually go in world until May or June, and between setting up my account and signing in that first, I did quite a bit of reading about SL. I got hooked on Closet Crisis, and that influence led to my very first shopping trip at Celestial Studios on my first day in world. I also bought an outfit at CS that day, but I don’t seem to have boxed that one up. Instead I’m wearing the very first shirt I ever fatpacked, a great off-the-shoulder top from Surf Couture, and my favorite jeans from Launa Fauna.

This example of my current look is courtesy of Exile, Pink Fuel, Fusemelon, Decoy, and Treads. I think the biggest change from then until now is that I change my look a lot more with different skins and hair colors even though I kept dark brown for both in this case. The shape has stayed pretty much the same except for a bit of tweaking around the mouth and the spacing between my eyes, and I became just a tiny bit shorter.
