So, Strawberry Singh turned 15 on Monday. [O… M… G!] and to celebrate, she posted a side-by-side photo of her avatar as it was in 2007 and now in 2022. She used that image to kick of a Then and Now Challenge to others to post similar comparisons of their current vs. early avatar selves.

That’s a hard one to resist! I’ve taken a few moments to throw together a similar side-by-side of my orientation island self and how I look today. I like to think I project a more sophisticated look now, maybe in keeping with my advancing years!
I have to say Strawberry’s 2007 look holds up very well. My first appearance, not so much. Credit where it’s due for any improvements. I have a good friend who’s brilliant at tweaking the shape, shopping for skins, hair, and tattoos. I’m only responsible for the outfit.
