Getting to know all of the messageboard members in a virtual way, I am curious how you came about choosing your avatars... Mine is Marlene Dietrich and
although she is a poor singer, she embodies sexy cleverness, rebellious unconventionality mingled with depth of soul...not to mention style, nonchalance and
magnetism. Ah, when I grow up I'll be like her (w/out the smoke).

There's a couple of other avatars I use occasionally just for a change, but I always settle back on this
one for some reason. I just like the night, and looking up at the sky. Mainly I
use it because it suits me, not because I like mooning y'all. There but for the grace of God go... Hey! Wait for me! |

How dumb am I--I didn't even think that way about your avatar, Tale!
Mine's a phoenix. Couldn't find a silver one (aside from the one around my neck, and I don't think I could take a photograph of it), so I had a friend (oh, RedCat! ReeeeeeeedCaaaaaaaat! Come back, little red kittie!) make a thumbnail of it.

If you mean the bit about mooning, I just thought of that myself.
 It's more interesting than simply saying "I like it 'cause it's
purdy." Maybe I should put more thought into my avatar. 
I like my "dressed to kill" alternate, but I am seriously not in the mood for that right now. There but for the grace of God go... Hey! Wait for me! |

Mine is the "Zuni Fetish Doll" from the scariest segment of TRILOGY OF TERROR, "Amelia." The Moral Of the Story--If your boyfriend is an
anthropologist, you might not want to be giving him random artifacts-from-God-knows-where willy-nilly...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trilogy_of_Terror http://www.terrortrap.com/trilogyofterror "Fee" (as it likes to be called) sounds very much like Patrick when the latter gets into a snit, so...

A close-up of my eyes. I came up with this on another forum, when I couldn't find a picture to express my mood at that time. I've since forgotten which
mood I was in, but I still use the avatar

Thanks
 They are blue-greenish, depending on the light the colour varies.

Mine are Hazel and the colour varies depending on mood and color of clothing. When I'm stoned....which hasn't been in years, they are a clear blue

They changed to blue? Awesome! Was that just your impression or did others notice that, too? As you can see I'm clueless about the state of being stoned.
Sorry if this is getting off-topic, but I'm just too intrigued.

At least blue is plausible.
"Orange with purple flames" would have been questionable (though how cool would it be if it were true?  ).

I was once told they had a red tint when I got mad, but I highly doubt that.....must have been the drugs......

My avatar came from some online quiz I took. It's a mad chemist, so I thought it fit
