Second Life Trends and Fads

Just like real life, Second Life residents tend to follow trends and just like real life, what may be "in" today may be out tomorrow.  Keeping up with the latest thing is diligent work. Some of us are reluctant to change but at the risk of being viewed as outdated, noob, lazy, etc, we get on the bus and follow the crowd.  We looked back at some of SL's evolution through trends and fads and like that 90's hair style you wore in your graduation picture, some made us shake our heads wondering what were we thinking.
In Second Life's humble beginnings everyone was a pasty matte figure with prim hair but boy, how we have changed.  Below is a list of some of the biggest SL developments and trends.
