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.

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...
Now DesertGrandma, we need a poll on "why do you use an avatar rather than your own photograph", don't we?

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:
Yes!!!! DG, do it, DG, do it, do it!! |

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.

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. Laine |
