What does your avatar tell us?

about you.
As you know, I am very curious about BCers and the first thing I do before reading a reply here is to look at the person's avie. I'd like to know what your avatar tell us all about you or what do you think it tells us?
My avie as you can see represents both the good girl (nun) I am IRL and the naughty girl only my husband gets to see and some get to read (about). When you look at my avie, i'd like for you to take it as a warning that I am naughty, naughty, naughty and probably should be spanked

it is a nice/cool pic. is it you? and are you AHEM! clothed?
-
great pic. Were you modeling for it or was it just a spur of the moment shot? -
reminds me of Taraji P. Henson
-
I was 8 months pregnant, doing a photo shoot for myself and AHEM!...I was not....living life, that's what it's all about...It's very much me....
-
-
Mine says "be sure to drink your ovaltine."-
more ovaltine please
does it turn children into horses? or provide grown stallions stamina? -
The elixir of the equine gods!
Honestly, I guess mine just says that I'm into horses. I talk horses all day long rather obssessiveely.
It's also a sign to the ladies that says "hey ladies, how YOU doin'?"
-
-
That this chicken is a mocking bird!-
I knew that! LMAO!
-
-
mine says I'm not creative and got tired of the one I was using before.
-
Now I am curious. Which one did you have before.
-
I think it was this one
-
ahhhhhhhhh my eyes,my eyes tooo much cuteness in one sitting. must---resist-----.
FM, i am afraid of cats but enjoy looking at their pics, lol!. btw, nice eye and cool eyebrow. Mine is long too. -
lol, I have a scar and if I don't leave them longish I look Spocktacular. Now knowing my love of all things Trekkie and geeky you'd think I'd like that but it was not a good look for me.
Yoda is a cutie but a pain in the butt. He sits on my shoulders when I work and when I turn on the sander he leaps off. Sometimes when he has cat food breath I turn it on just to get him off me. -
Yoda looks bossy
-
He does kinda look like he's using those Freddy Krueger claws of his to, um, motivate you.
-
-
It says, "Look-- it's your friendly neighborhood blog writer-- and she has no nose!"
-
lol. hey when i squint and get reaal close to the screen, i can see a cute, small nose (outline) there
-
Don't hurt yourself, Lolita. It's not worth the eye-strain.
-
well if that is you TSR (i am assuming it is) I have to say that you are very pretty.
-
It's me. Thank you. I look better in green.
-
I have to agree, you look like someone who'd be fun to go have coffee with.
-
green? are you an alien too
-
@Floormodel- Given coffee is my life's blood, amusingly, I'd be totally up for that sort of thing.
@Lolita- I have no info on it, but I wouldn't be surprised. It would explain so much.
-
-
its a laid back image, just like me-
first time i saw it, i thought it was a tree but now i think it's a woman in a bathing suit holding an umbrella?
-
yes its a woman with an umbrella
-
I thought it was a dolphin statue at first. took me a while to see the umbrella
-
in a bathing suit??
-
I though it was someone leaning and peering over a ledge
-
-
My avatar is the smiley, transparent me, caught on camera without warning -
I like your pic, it's such a great smile.
-
*Diana smiles and blushes* Thanks FM
-
ur avie is one of my favorites around here. You can see the sincerity of that beautiful smile.
-
Yes, you have a really cheerful expression. It makes you seem like you must be a nice person with that kind of big smile.
-
yep yep.. +1 on the smile
-
-
I'd like to know what your avatar tell us all about you or what do you think it tells us?
My avatar is a picture of me. It was taken by my sister, with my new second hand Canon PowerShotA70 camera, which is a gift from my sister presented to me, when I was laying on the beach just three weeks ago. I don't know what my photo tells others about me, and I don't have any thoughts at all about what it conveys.-
this one is my favorite of the ones you've used. it shows your character in your face.
-
Thank you Tia.
-
-
My avatar says I'm a "Bag Lady" which I am!
It's all about me and my recycled bags...-
well i guess the name helps figure it out too; great combination.
-
I like the tie in to your name and blog. Clever!
-
-
I use my real pic and not an avatar, that should have some hidden meaning as well I guess...-
very cute! great hair too (when i squint at least, lol)
ps: this is really a pic of me -
A lot of people use their own faces. I like that pic, at first I thought it was Dennis Leary (which is not an insult) then I bigguned it up and realized it had to be you
-
Lolita, Oh my... the catholics must not like you very much!
-
actually they are secretly obsessed and looking when the priest ain't around LMAO!
-
-
I picked mine for a few reasons... I love comic book art and she reminded me of someone who would write for the Daily Bugle :-
she reminds me of someone apt and willing to hand out spankings and boot lickings.
-
I tend to agree. She looks like the sort that's straight and narrow during the day but breaks out the whip and the 5" heels in the evening
-
FM. My kind of women
-
haha .. we can only hope, ladies
-
-
That I'm walking the Open Road-
whenever I'm in your area I find myself looking for someone who resembles your avatar I figure I'll walk up and say " feeling profound today" and if they reply it's you, if they don't then one more person will think I'm nutty.
-
-
No idea, you tell me -
that you have a big zucchini in your backyard?
-
In my backyard? I don't think so
-
yeah, that could be painful...
I like your new image but it clashes with my old image of you as a snowboarder with a brain. -
haha. I'm only a snowboarder a few times a year. Kansas doesn't have mountains you know
-
your front yard then?
-
There may be a big zucchini in the front yard
-
lol!!
-
-
-
Well, I've been counting my birthdays backwards since my mid-thirties (I'm 20 now) so I needed an avatar that is also timeless.
This is a caricature of me - we got them done professionally, in person at Disneyland (California) a few years back, and is quite the likeness (you can see the real me on my twitter account and my wife on my youtube account)
here's actual size: hartandyvonne.com/pics/pic_us-21.jpg
This is my wife: hartandyvonne.com/pics/pic_us-20.jpg-
I wondered where it came from. It always makes me smile.
-
-
-
I'm a man, can't you tell?-
I can tell
-
well yes, since we are in the men posing as women group together lmao!
-
-
Oh I loved your avatar the first time I saw it! I mean, come on, 99.99% of all nuns are closet lesbians and sex addicts, right?
hehe... all in jest of course!!!-
yes we are. We do things when chuch is over that would put porn stars to shame
PS: with me, everything is always, all in jest
-
-
The by-line of my blog is "Clearing Up the Insanity so Christians can pray", so I chose Jesus praying in the Garden of Gethsemine.-
then it suits your blog perfectly
-
that's jesus??? I thought it was a finger pointing left.
-
-
My avatar is a snap of my cute little nephew...
-
he is a cutie
-
he is adorable. very cute!!
-
-
Tells you "sick sad world" -
i actually read "B*tch don't fvck with me" on your avie
-
Well there is a wee difference between what is said and what is meant
-
Yeah, the "and it's your fault" that comes after the "It's a sick, sad world" part is implied rather than explicit. -
aye
-
-
"I'd like to know what your avatar tell us all about you or what do you think it tells us?"
Hmm. Not sure what all of you might get from it, but what I think it says about me is I'm reflective. Now I must go away and think about that for a while....-
LOL!!!!!!
-
-
My avatar is a picture of my dog, Tunk. My wife and I raise and breed champion Rottweilers. -
My avatar is an image of an owl. Appropriate for my blog and my love for owls.-
owls are scary
-
nah..I promise this one is not. It's harmless
-
-
Mine is of my significant other, Scott Peterson. He looks hot in red!-
indeed. he also looks great in shackles and orange flipflops.
-
-
Mine's just about my interest-Celtic. Nothing more, nothing less. And oh it's the Green Man now -
i read before seeing your name and recognizing you. i was going to point you to your own blog as someone you should meet. please bring back the cute face?
-
I agree with Lolita, I didn't recognize you!
-
LOL I have been growing green with envy these days so that is why
-
Bring back CMF with the warrior paint
-
But this is the real me(a plant)
-
Waaaaa - bring back your face!
-
-
Hannibal King (Ryan Reynolds) from Blade 3 - Awesome one liners from that guy in all of his movies and in particular the monster hunting and that general area is what im about and write about. I would use a real photo of me but im just to lazy to change it.-
no, no, no it tells me that you are a ripped, angry dude who might blow BC up if we stop visiting your blog
-
Yep that too
-
What do you get when you cross a vampire with a werewolf? You get a fur coat that sticks to your neck!
great movie!
-
-
Mine says I'm a kind, considerate, loyal, smart, happy, attractive, sensible, intelligent, logical, loving man.
No really. It does.-
haha
-
LOL!!!! it screams at me that in the middle of the night, when i am most vulnerable, this dog is going to come to my house and nibble on my ears.
-
I think its a cat lolita
-
looks like a siamese cat, I think
-
Oh that is NOT possible??? A CAT?? where? how? that does not look like a cat and if it is, it's still looking like it might come and eat pieces of my body.
-
Awww, now you went and hurt my feelings! LOL.
You saying I ain't loveable????! -
from a distance
-
Lovable in a "What a cute plot to destroy the human race" way. I always feel like you're giving us a Hannibal Lecter sort of look, wondering how our livers would taste while performing witty banter to distract us from your real intentions.
-
Na, just licking my lips awaiting what will eventually be mine ... ALL MINE!!!!!!!!! (Dang, was that outside my head?)
-
lol Rory your ugly catdog is just a front. we all know you are as sweet and cool as Cathy.
-
-
I think my avatar screams out to the world: "this is a person who would prefer to look more handsome and stylish than he actually is."
Oh, and just on Celtic musician's avatar change: I find it utterly uncanny whenever anyone here changes their avatar. This is because (such is the power of the image), I really do think of Lolita as a nun; of N.P. as Whitman, of Deray as perpetually happy, of Anok is a ninja, Agit8r is stil (despite his recent avatar change) a gnome, TSR is sans nose et cetera,
I always want to write to people things like: you've changed, man. It used to be about the gnomishness/bra on your head/curly blonde hair/coy discovery of one's breasts.
-Mal-
Oh dear Mal,
I was convinced as a god amongst men you actually were Jeremy Irons in Brideshead.
*crushed*
I will have to now go back to fantasizing merely about your astounding intellectual prowess.
-Still -
Still: Obviously, I DO want you to think that I'm Jeremey Irons in Brideshead. I'd be mortified if I thought I'd broken the association...However, the good thing is that as my horror of avatar changes suggests to me: even when you know someone can't possibly look the same as their avatar (e.g. the guy whose avatar is Brandon Lee in the Crow et cetera and most people), it's still hard to shake the association.
Best,
Mal.
Oh, P.S. A handsome avatar is also indispensable to any ventures into the realm of the sociopathic Subtext: I just commented on your blog! I'm so glad you've got the Muses dancing for you again!
Best,
-Mal -
your avie tells me look at me! I am the perfect Harlequin (novel) hero
-
Sociopathy is apparently such a turn on for me.
-
I always thought you were leaning back against a wall with your foot up on a rock, but now I see that you're leaning forward and that the "leg" is really a railing. You look much less relaxed now, to me. I like your image much better than this shot of him:
-
And now we dance!
-
Legbamel: that's the worst photo ever taken of me, er, I mean that terrible "Irons" fellow. What role is playing in that photo? [shudders] A bond villain?
-
-
The beehive says I am stylish little minx and the pearls say I am a proper young lady.
-
your avie says don't let my proper ways fool you. I am a naughty, naughty, naughty piegina artist
-
Piegina is our put out friend below. I am the flat out "eat that cooch" artist.
-
-
Mine says: Woo hoo after one too many sherbets I took a million photos of myself and found one that I liked.-
your avie is threatening to spank me
-
and draw me a piegina at the same time
-
-
Claire,
To paraphrase what you just said to bring it more in line with my own impression I think yours says: "Don't take away my sherbet or I'll kill you. That sherbet is MINE. and it's not a bloody euphemism. Sherbet. Mine. Leave it alone."
Still,
I think yours looks like you'd go to a party for the express purposes of arguing with Truman Capote.
Best,
Mal-
Now you're frightening me as one my recent forays into the realm of sociopaths also said the SAME EXACT THING.
*shoots a suspicious look* -
Still: you're not serious? You had a stalker who said the Truman Capote thing?!? C'est incroyable. Swear 'twasn't me.
-Mal. -
*eyes widen*
He spoke French too. -
Creepy. But I swear that there is but one Mal. I don't have (and have never had) pseudonyms of pseudonyms running around doing my bidding. What would be the point? How would I keep track of them? I very occassionally use my real name, but never on forums, catalogues et cetera. And I most emphatically do not stalk people.
I mean, I do want adoring FANDOM and general internet glory(comments on my blog saying: "wow, you're so awesome", "how can I be like you), but that's the limit of my ambitions. I've never segued from 'nice post', to anything personal (and insane!) like 'hey-what-are-you-doing-on-Saturday-I-dunno-maybe-we-could-get-married-or something despite-the-fact-that-we-live-on-the-opposite-sides-of-the-world-and-neither-of-us-knows-who-the-other-is. That sort of thing just doesn't make sense to me.
Best,
Mal -
I'm keeping my eye on you though!
Charming, marauding lotharios with large vocabularies and French puns must be carefully watched for signs of sociopathy. -
Still: okay then it's a deal:)
Trust me to not be a loon -- until I give any signs of actually being one -- at which point the whole community can come down on me and stomp on my epaulettes.
And it IS nice of you to say 'charming' and even 'large vocabulary', although 'Lothario' makes me laough. This is something that I've never been called even in jest: I'm just too nerdy for such things. I mean, whenever I look at D.B.'s avatar I feel a sudden surge of schoolyard resentment, like he might push me into a locker ... (no offense D.B.!)
Best,
Mal.
-
-
On reading your reply to Still: So obviously you're an impostor, Mal! You are 107 years old!
-
Mine says....uhm...it doesn't say anything, it's a picture.
-
I can blog and break your legs at the same time, with one finger. Love, Anok. at least, that's what it tells me
-
Hey that would be cool It would be even cooler if I could reach through the screen and do it, tat way I don't' have to get up
-
to me it actually says "durka durka durka" in the team america voice
-
OMG I'm glad I wasn't drinking anything when I read that LMAO *Snort*
-
sam you just reminded me of the nipple, nipple song on youtube. BRB!
-
Anok: your picture says to me. I'm normally quite nice, and helpful and would be concerned that everyone was having a good time at the party, HOWEVER, the general mixture of injustice in the world + the large number of IDIOTS has forced me to a) hide my face and b) to be fearless in the faith of death -- a conditio sine qua non of assassinating a tyrant.
-Mal -
Actually, since the cloth is covering your mouth, your avatar says "mmmphh mmmmhhhhhmmm mmmmm mmmm"
-
...Either that or something about the Symbionese Liberation Army.
-
-
Hey, aspotofblog! (I really need to find a convenient abbrevation for your name):
Quoi? 107? Moi? Mais, pourquoi. I thought my conversation screamed youth and virility and that I would make a fit snowboarding companion for DR.
Actually (I know you're joking!), but I have given my correct age on B.C...It's just uncoolness that makes me sound old...:)
Best,
-Mal-
*runs for hills*
-
how old r u?
-
Deray: nice to meet a co-agist. It's funny, how people come across based on writing and avatars. For instance: I would be shocked and appalled if I ever found out that N.P. DIDN't have a big beard.
Best,
-Mal.
-
-
31
-
u r young!!!
-
Sorry Mal, I also thought you were older, we are the same age!
-
-
Still has run for the hills. When are we ever going to see her again?
Mal, you can call me 'Spot'. I wasn't here when you revealed your age. I was over there *points somewhere far in the distance*
Okay, he's 31. But yes, but no, but maybe, not really.-
I thought of "Spot". I worried that it would sound...bad...in the manner of patronising. But, spot it is. Also, I think the main way my age comes through in posts is the combination of a sense of wasted potential common with the sense that we can still make good if only someone realises our genius.
Best,
-Mal.
-
-
I have no idea what mine says about me. I won an award for this pic and it is on some coffee tables somewhere around the world. You tell me what it says about me if you have a clue.-
that you are a mother and your child is cute and curious looking at the sunflower like that.
-
I think the sunflower looks ominous...as if it has designs on devouring your child. Better prepare some weed-b-gone just to be safe.
-
LMAO Kdawg!
-
It's got a definite "back to nature" theme, although now that Kdawg has influenced me it does rather look like the leaves are grasping the child's arm, drawing him in in preparation for a flowery snack.
-
-
Mine says, "I like green Cons." It's very reticent and not prone to wild flights of verbal fancy.
-
Two words ... Dr. Scholls.
-
well i always thought it sang "one of these days these shoes are gonna walk all over you"
-
-
Hmm, it's just a photo I liked of me, it got lots of compliments on facebook so I went with it. Guess I just wanted ME as my avatar and the photo is me.-
that is one ugly woman (jk)
I actually like it a lot. You have great skin. -
Hey now, you better watch it! :-) Thanks - being a sun avoiding goth girl in my teen years when most were aiming for tan has paid off I think.
-
Your avie looks unreal. As in manipulated?
K. So your skin is so good that it looks unreal, I guess. -
That's a real photo! I thought it was a really good 3D avatar!
-
I took it myself in my bathroom which has a pretty bright light. I used the mirror to see the digital view finder screen and took it myself. Impressed?? It is not altered, aside from cropping it to a square.
-
-
avatar represents our character of the person.. -
@Mal-Sorry, I'm about to deal you the death blow of disillusionment. I'm beardless, the hair on my head is dark brown, and I've never worn a suit and tie in my life. The spirit of Old Walt is all my avatar and I have in common.
-
how old r u then? 25? i'd leave bc if u were. Oh gosh, what if NP is a 13yo who can say he's never worn a suit because he is TOO YOUNG to wear one? I call conspiracy.
-
Yes, Lolita. The reason I blush at your praises is that I'm a bashful 13 year old.
-
dammit. another kid I am corrupting.
that's it. I give up blogging
-
-
N.P.: Noooooooooooooo!
[Falls to knees, shakes fists at the sky.]
Et tu, N.P.?
Why do you mock me, O Gods? Why am I, like Philoctetes, the victim of the endless mendacity of men; I curse the men and gods who have made me to so distorted a creature of wrath; Now I shall high me to an island there to rule over rocks and cacti...
(Also: I at least do wear op shop (I think Americans say "thrift store") suits, as honestly advertised by my not-entirely-miselading avatar.
Best,
-Mal -
poly bore
If you like avatars then perhaps you would enjoy this video polybore made of a whole bunch of BC Avatars. Might do another if anyone where interested in being involved. Give polybore a shout and if there is enough interest polybore will do.
animoto.com/play/1xF1Un7WdYsvChrTF1nyQg?ref=qjbnwycx-
That was great polybore
-
i'd love to submit my naughty avies
-
Do it.
-
Ooh, is that the Moby one? I love your I, Avatar videos!
-
-
Mine says "Don't shoot! I'm a (desaturated, airbrushed) human!".-
Airbrushed, surely not.
-
It may not seem that way, but if polybore saw the original, he'd be quickly reminded of the Toxic Avenger.
-
-
My avatar says 1 thing and it says it loud, I'M FUDKING PARTYING HERE-
u must be related to DB. he is 400 pounds too.
-
-
My avatar..?hmm it'll come.Well i am not so shaded as it shows.You may need a torch to see me through that though.Only for those criticized me that i'm an anonymous see this
varun-g.blogspot.com/2009/05/its-about-me.html-
I am serious in belief
I am not serious in blind belief
priceless. i agree 100%
-
-
The present one says nothing much..
I had a manga version of myself earlier which said.. "Hi.. I am a cartoon"-
this one is cute.
-
-
That I have imperfect vision and don't like having my hair in my face. -
I am a political blogger from Dixieland with right-wing populist bend, hence the confederate flag.-
this one says. I am a racist prick, hence the flag.
best toilet paper i ever used. -
You really don't know me.
-
obviously not
i just don't like that flag and what it represents for most Americans. I'd feel the same way if it was another symbol once used to represent oppressors. -
Like the union army?
-
-
What do you know? This is a crow, or at least a raven posing as one.. whole point is, I am a nasty black bird that sees stuff that's happening and makes a ruckus
Well that was at least the original intention ..-
I've sometimes thought of myself as either a raven or a wolf, being the two main sides of myself, the thinker/trickster/sarcastic truth-seeker (raven), and the strong man/leader/danger loving tough wildman (wolf.)
-
..am also a right-wing baiter at times
-
@cT: There is nothing wrong with having an avatar relevant to the content of your blog.
-
I thought of it, but blogspot forces me to have a single avatar for all my blogs
-
-
Mine shows I have an amazing imagination and I am heading for the stars.....Honest -
my avatar is a smooshed version of a photo of me from a photo shoot. I guess it says I think I am hot lol-
don't worry. we all thought it before u
only hotties get stalkers. -
haha true enough never thought of it like that
-
-
my avatar was taken in the makati metro while i was walking alone at night. that while line is actually a fly over.
-
looks like an image out of a magazine or music video, very cool.
-
I love your new avatar!
-
-
It says I like afros, and nakedness..-
just 2 other things we have in common
-
-
It says i am hiding my face -
why u ugly?
-
yes very ugly hahaha
-
-
That nun picture is crazy for sure. My avatar should tell you that it's a fit... bug! -
lol. a bug with muscles
How many times do i have to repeat: I WAS PERFORMING MY DAILY BREAST EXAM IN FRONT OF THE CHURCH!!!!
-
-
Mine says I wish I were still 21ish.-
don't we all Shiley.
-
I actually have current video up of me. This avatar was a very good time in my life when I was thinner.
-
-
MINE!!! Is...ummm...a picture I mad of an irate dog....it felt fitting since I'm...ummm....the irate dog...
At least I made it myself! That shows I have photoshop skills and am arty - in fact, I'm in the process of painting a blue poppy for my GF's new renovated room.-
Dog? It looks like quiet little puppy
-
He looks more snooty than irate. I do think you did a good job, though. If I tried to make one it'd look more like mutant roadkill.
-
I second that for myself
-
-
I'm a hat - because I am everything under the hat...
I think a LOT...
LOL!-
your avie tells us to behave or catch a naughty spell from your hidden wand.
-
I picture a little girl, having pulled a stuffed rabbit out of said hat, saying, "Ta da!" I just think of you as cute, WW.
-
You're so very sweet - both of ya!
Now watch what you say or *poof* you're a sexy Lolita! LOL!
-
-
But y'all are sexy cool and awesome - BTW!
-
My avatar tells you to shut the hell up, Lolita!
I mean, look at the expression on my half-face.-
ur avie wants to join mine in a 3some
-
That's your real avie? (picture)
Cause you are absolutely beautiful. You have INCREDIBLE facial bone structure.
I just wanted you to know that.
-
-
No, it would be a 2 and a half-some
-
LMAO, lol. well if you look closely at my avie, you'll notice that we only have space for a half face. this is a match made in heaven
-
-
I use my blog logo as my avatar. I hope it isn't too childish looking? What do you guys think?-
well it reminds me of preK specially with the name but there is nothinh wrong with that. what's ur blog about?
-
Being a Wall Street CEO.
-
-
My My avatar says I'm me, I like to smile my nose is bigger than I hoped it would be but that's OK.-
Sylvia - you are beautiful too.
Very pretty - you remind me of a friend of mine... -
Thank you
-
-
Avatar tell us your face..ha
-
You talkin' to me, WW? Yes, the avie is really me. Or half of me, lol. Thanks for the compliment.
-
someone in deep thought!
