Jewel Laurasia Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 So as i was going through my pictures folder, I found this screenshot I took on the beta grid way back in June of 2007. I don't quite remember why I went there, but it was a very busy day there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amethyst Jetaime Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Probably because it was a Wednesday and the main grid was down for the day due to weekly maintenance or it was one of those days the entire grid crashed and was down for hours! It was the place to go for many people back then when they couldn't log in to the main grid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coby Foden Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 This was how I looked in year 2007. Few days old, trying to solve the mystery how come many other avatars look so much better. I was too ashamed to ask anybody. Help! I still have that saved in my inventory. :smileytongue: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiiCassidy Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 That boobage. I think my worst one is the one when i first joined and walked around with a box on my head, thinking it would load if i let it stay. But thats on my old lappy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelli May Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 An early iteration of Kelli: I do have an earlier account, so it probably has even worse pictures. I've gained control of my eyebrows since then. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marigold Devin Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Ohmyword! How great I thought I was when I started in November 2007, made my own top, gloves (and what's with the size of the hands??!), and hair. (Still didn't stop the desperados from coming onto me though.) A couple of weeks later, with help from a friend, I'd got a more conventional look. Marigold Mk II: Dec 2007 A couple of months after that I'd discovered latexwear (!) and was experimenting with hair, still wearing a very commonplace freebie skin and shape. Bot owner obviously thought red was a good look though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well now i feel less ashamed that i know im not the only one who worn pink hair made with the edit appareance lol.... Well indeed, after some days, i had some clue about the secret for looking at least acceptable lol... but it took some long weeks for my avi look at something not so ugly. ETA : shamely (or fortunately ?) i dont have any pic from this time... first i didnt know that i could make pics and how to do them, and second my old laptop burnt 2 years ago, and hard drive aswell .. so i lost everything that was in it. Well at least there are no evidence about how i looked except in my memory. lol. i bet this is not bad at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syo Emerald Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 I sadly have no pictures of my early newbie-moments, on my oldest pictures that I have, I look more like a barbiedoll in the making....I could recreate my newbie-look, I think. Because the place where I got my first stuff is still around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madelaine McMasters Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 There are very few pictures of Madelaine Marbach (my first incarnation) in existence. I deleted all but this one. This is from my second day in SL, April 8, 2008. I'd just been given L$250 by a kindly woman. I expressed my desire to purchase beautiful hair, though apparently not by actually doing so. As you can see, I'd not yet learned to dress myself... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelli May Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 This could be the anti-vanity thread. This is the earliest image of me in SL that I can find. A lot of pictures got saved out to PC to save L$, and not many were saved as I switched machines. That's my alt in a mostly home-made fae av. Not sure what's going on in the background. System hair & skin, I'm sure. The date on the image is 11 days after my first appearence in SL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amethyst Jetaime Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 LOL It also took several days of wandering the grid wondering why everyone looked good and I looked like a bad toon before I stumbled into shops. (There weren't as many around then) I didn't know about camera controls yet so to see myself I'd TP to a place that sold one of those mirrors that you sit on and it turns your avi around and inserts you in the frame to on your screen it looks like a mirror. Here I am in 2006 with my 1st skin, which was the state of the art then and FLEXI !!!! hair and clothes (flexis had just been introduced and weren't widely available. Still a lot of system skirts and prim skirts made out of cones that looked like we were wearing giant ringing bells when we walked) I had finally figured out camping was a waste of time and bought some lindens to spring for skin, hair, eyes and an outfit. I was so hot I lit the campfire but just walking up to it :smileywink: , or so I thought. LOL This was the first picture I was able to take of myself since I had finally figured out the camera controls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I laughed so hard at this I had to get cloth to clean my screen! I too made a very similar fashion statement with those textures with an outfit I made all by myself my 2nd day. I still have it and bring it out for a laugh now and then. LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Six Igaly Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 I made a small compilation. The snapshots are made between october 2006 and june 2007. I am sure I have worse then this though, somewhere. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tari Landar Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 Haha, I love looking at old pics. Sadly all of my first pics, are not on this pc. Many of them were lost actually But I have a few (these are all 2008 though). My graphics back then were onboard and, beyond crappy. Although to me, they were just fine. About a year later I got an actual graphics card, and OMG the difference, lol. My first home, well, first land, but the, about 3rd actual house I put down, lol. Was still in the process of decorating at the time. Those are my guard tigers keeping a watchful eye while hubby was away. One of the first outfits I made, that I have pics of(and we still wear) Gnome Jammies (that's hubby there with me) Hubby's first fishing trip. I got him hooked, pun intended, on 7seas. My bad. That's me on the stump, he's on the dock and an old friend inbetween. Hehe, had him so hooked I put out 7seas on our land. Real men wear pink, you know Fishtank attached to the house for all our 7seas catches. Ok, most of them. And yes that is the pink tree that drops "flowers"...sigh, good times. ETA:- I should add, ok, wanted to add, that shortly after these pics were taken, hubby proposed I know, it has nothing to do with the topic, I just like remembering it, hehe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the butt there is one big mushroom on each cheek, lol.

The flexi-hair makes all the difference, and your avatar doesn't look bad for the time. What I'm loving about seeing all these old photos is the backgrounds; look how far the graphics/lighting has come. The skies, the sea (reflections!), shadows, etc. And yet didn't we love our SL just as much back then? It all seemed so magical and ... pretty?!

Jade Nova Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 Haha definitely. I think that was my 0-slider shape. All of the sliders on the shape are set to 0. And the one I made where they're all set to 100 is equally as disturbing. It's crazy how somewhere between those two extremes are normal human beings.
