My avatars reflect my moods. Except for when my *other* personality is in command.

Hugo and Lefty are talking, intelligent socks. I thought that was obvious?

Hi Keith, Welcome to MobileRead and the Lounge!!! I don't use my own picture because unlike you, I don't look good in pictures. So I created a reasonable facsimile of what I might look like and use that.

How sweet. No one has ever told me that I look like a Michelangelo before.

I don't use my own picture because I'm very shy about being photographed.

My avatar is the alter ego I wish I had! I'm really far too boring and staid.

So I get to pretend I'm a life-of-the-party-girl with my avatar.

Now DesertGrandma, we need a poll on "why do you use an avatar rather than your own photograph", don't we?
(I voted "I love them" in the other thread )

Have I ever told you guys that I thought pshrynk was a woman when I started to read posts on MR. I remember it was in long, dark october (I was just lurking, not posting, of course), and he had this doggie-avatar. I´m glad I checked his profile, otherwise his current avatar would probably look like, well, see below:

What's wrong with my avatar! I look horrible in pictures, but at least one in my household is photogenic...

Bingo! There's even a country song "I'm so much cooler online". So, online here, I'm fierce, brave and leather-wearing.

...and dead-sexy.

That's not me in my avatar - that's Adrian, who's a real person...err, gibbon...who may or may not be real...or who may be me...that is to say, my avatar is me...in a mask, with a beanie on, with a propeller on top. I like caramel.

Cheers,
Marc (I think)

An avatar can say more about you than your photo can.
My photo would show that it's a long time since I was born.
My avatar shows one of my passions - Pteropus poliocephalus. There are better pictures available but I took this one myself.
