Here are mine - the left hand one is me as a newbie on Help Island over a year ago, the right hand one is me a few days ago standing on the future highway outside my home.
Sorry, pic lost when I had a clear-out on Flickr! I'll try to resurrect it!

What a delightful thread idea.
Here I am on the left, at my first land plot, messing about with making clothes in the appearance editor with random textures. And on the right, wearing skin, clothes and shoes I made, standing in front of my sculptie display at my store. A lot can happen in a year.  http://www.throughlinedesign.com/secondlife/then-and-now.jpg |

Such a great idea for a thread.. Here's me at the Welcome area sometime back in June-July 2005, and in the inset, current me....

What is interesting here so far is that all of us who have posted so far have stayed quite close to what we started out as - obviously we've improved our looks with skins, hair, adjustments and better clothes, but it's like we knew who we were or wanted to be right from the start.

I can't find any of the very first me, but this is the earliest I could find (left) and the most 'like' me now on the right. Skin got a little less pale, hair got a little smaller and more natural... that's about it. Never really changed my shape much.
 Although my shape is a teensy bit different in my usual attire (because my human av isn't in a folder and it's a lot quicker to drag this one onto me!)  |

A *bit* dated now (I took dis for my first rez day, in February), but You get the idea. It's me, and me within a day of gettin off orientation island (I had jes bought my glasses)
 A bit more telling is dis. The first image was about a month after my rez day, the second, about a week ago. (Yes, the choice of outfits in the first big image above is, in part due to its being my first kid outfit) _____________________

It took me MONTHS to realize I could move the camera around to the front of my face, so most of my old, old pics just show the back of my head. The first is the earliest I could find of my front.
The second is as I am today, as you can see I STILL love that couch and I STILL love big hairs! lol |

@Mari: That point and laugh anim is GREAT!!! Thankoo! It seemed about right for the avvie. I was kinda proud of it at the time, given dat everybuggy else I'd been around before then had purple shirts. Mari _____________________

These are a blast to look at!
I couldn't find a picture of me in the noob skin, but the leftmost picture is very old, maybe within a month of joining SL. The middle and right pictures are my two avs I use currently. |

I agree, these look fantastic! I remember starting out and thinking "wow, I look pretty good for a newbie!" Duh!
Gawd... and what was I thinking with the blonde eyebrows?! |

  First day, still on Orientation Island, and the closest to today snap I could find. Sorry it is a login snap. I had been looking for pictures of my art to include, and I accidently found one, interesting. |

On the left is me about 6 months ago when I first came into SL. On the right is me today. Thanks to Ann Launay I finally figured out how to post pics from Flickr. What a sexy devil!

 Left: June 2006. I found this avatar in my inventory. Can't believe I still have her. I think her camisole is one I made a few months later though. Center: January 2007-ish. I was walking around like this for quite a long time. Right: Current. I have actually started to wear my old clothes again so I'm looking quite retro. Actually my alt has all the nice clothes and skins. _____________________

I don't have any old snapshots but I do have all of my previous outfits saved in folders. The outfit on the left I was probably wearing two or three days after I started SL. The one on the right is what I wear today. Not a drastic change but I've only been around for 3 months.

I have a collage of my avatar's appearance from newbie through my first year:
 Then this is how I looked in February of this year:  A tan, a haircut, and several months later, here I am now (on the left), with my partner:  _____________________
