I joined Second Life in February 2015, so coming up for a half-decade. But enough time to go through a lot of changes!
First pic is from summer of 2015, when I was still a human avatar, rocking the standard body but with lots of customisations. The corsetry, gloves and boots from Rosal were my biggest purchase to date at the time, almost as much as a mesh body!
Second pic is from end of 2019, after I'd finished tweaking my current look to work with Bakes On Mesh. All mesh now, Maitreya body, GA.EG head, braids from EMO-tion, ears & antennae from Stargazer Creations, skin from Lumae (now closed down, alas), spots from Tigerpaw, and make-up from Dotty's Secret.
