Just wondering. Since I have been on the site I have came across many different people with many different avatars so my question is - Why did you choose that avatar for yourself..
I chose mine to fit with my custom title b/c the dude looks psycho like he wants to burn everything down or something..
So how about you all?

I was informed by a member here that my one of my "choc sauce" series pics would make a great avatar....so i took their advice...
I have a heap of different avatars made up though and will change them around when i feel the need.....most are BJ type pics as thats my favorite hobby :p:p:p

because it resembles me and my character :p

There was no avatar that really suited me so I went to an avatar site and picked the current one, well what is the result of a grumbling guts LOL, so it suits my sense of humour and is a bit unique. Its also why I settled on my nickname as it is not the usual run of the mill thing.
Oh yeah my dear friend Sugarfreecandy resized it for me so it would fit. She is one of the absolute blessing I have gained through coming to pixies. I made a very close friend who has been so good for me. The family aspect of this place is very uplifting (in more ways than one LOL)

Actually switched mine a few times until I finally settled on froggy. Thought it looked cute. Still find myself thinking his "legs" look like little arms raised up like he was shouting or cheering.

Mine was - a little bit - looking like me in the real life. But the times of that long hair are off I think. And I do not have glowing eyes like a werewolf in the real life.

First off I'd like to set the record straight and say my avatar is NOT, repeat NOT an actual picture of me!!!
Now, to answer the question..................
I chose this avatar because it shows a large-size woman (which I am) who is attractive and comfortable with herself (which I am not, but wish I was). I found it on an avatar site and with Lilith's help re-sized it for my own use. I decided to change from what I originally used because I wanted one that was unique and would not be used by anyone else. It gets confusing when more than one person is using the same avatar.:D

06-19-2002, 10:56 AM
I think I pick this is cos the lady in my avatar looks something like me. Black hair and tanned look. Yeah... I know some of them have black hair and tanned look, I just like this one :D

Have to say that I like all the different avatars that Pixies people have, especially when a member gets a new one. Wish I could do that, not very IT literate on things like that, well probably more to do with not enough play time on the PC to try things out :)

I choose mine because it reminded me of my high school nickname. Lil Devil. This guy I knew airbrushed me a denim set with a girl kinda like it one it so it me!

06-28-2002, 07:47 PM
I found the picture of Elmo and sent it to Lil and she turned it into a custom avatar. It suits my personality as I am very ticklish and I am usually laughing about something. Thanks for the help Lil...I couldn't have done it without you :)

I picked my Lute and Case because the Lute was traditionally the bard's "weapon" of choice. That and I love all kinds of music, especially the ancient madrigals and musical tales..
And MissX, your new avatar is simply scrumptious!
Neige
06-29-2002, 08:35 PM
I chose my avatar because I just love the water. In fact, I'm a pretty clumsy person on land (tripping over imaginary bumps and the such), so I think I might even be more comfortable in the water than out! :)

Hey xanne...
I don't know what it is, but how about it's expression? What type of expression do you think it has? What emotion is it expressing?
It's just like the Mona Lisa.
Or have I gone loopy again? :whiteghos

I think it's a happy loopy face............:D

1) Im a HUGE Bettie Page fan
2) dont you just think it looks like "mrs.evil" ? LOL

Hmmmm, mine is pretty obvious...
Actually I just wanted to be under Mrs Evil... ;)

I chose mine because as I was going through the avatars I was surprised to find one that looked so much like me. It could be a drawing of me in profile! Weired!

Woohoo I got a new avatar and it's me!! Big thanks to Lilith for making it possible, I wouldn't have known where to start.

on my shoulder i got when i was incarcerated and haven't taken the time too look outside of pixies. im sure it will eventually change but till then......

Well, I just changed my avatar. I got a little tired of the old one. I chose this one because it's a bit more "Pixie"-ish and just a little naughty looking....:D

07-12-2002, 07:48 PM
People changing their Avatars? BAH!
You don't change your Avatar like you change a pair of pants. It's who you IS.
Once you choose an Avatar, you should be stuck with it forever. Have to choose wisely.
Just my opinion.
BAH.

I'll bet if you asked everyone here at Pixies most have changed their avatar at least once. It's not a tattoo...I don't have to be "stuck with it forever"!
I'll keep changing it until I find one I feel is "REALLY ME".
Sorry it's a problem for you.:(

I see nothing wrong with changing your avatar. It's your decision. What, just because you eat vanilla ice cream, doesn't mean that you can switch back and forth to chocoalte? Sorry, couldn't think of a better analogy *LOL* :) I think that changing your avatar is a decision that should be made wisely, but it doesn't mean that it cannot change from time to time. Plus you cannot get a custom avatar until after 30 posts, so what if you cannot find one that is "who you are"???
*Clint
Svlad Cjelli
07-13-2002, 09:55 PM
Clint, sorry to burst your bubble, but I have had my "custom" avatar since my very first post. Who told you that you have to have 30 posts?
Lilith
07-13-2002, 10:05 PM
That was a mistake...... I once told Clint...sorry:o
Clint
07-14-2002, 12:34 PM
Okay, I stand corrected *LOL*. I thought that you did have to have 30 posts before you can put up a custom avatar. By the way Svlad Cjelli, I do like your avatar :)

07-15-2002, 12:46 PM
I gave up Elmo because I found this Celtic Cross and I was attracted to it for some reason. I kept going back to look at the picture of it from the site that I got it from and so I figured if I keep looking at it, why not make it a part of me.
P.S.
SugarSprinkles is right....you have to have 100 posts before you can change your member status. :)

Upon arrival, I noticed the plethora of comic book avatars available, but the one that was missing was the one that I took as my name: Harley Quinn. The irony... I just had to have one that matched the name, so I found one!
A number of folks here at Pixies have identified my avatar, and that thrills me to no end. Yes, I am a huge fan of Batman.
Lilith helped me change the avatar, and I am terribly greatful!
So the only question is, who's gonna come along and be my Joker? :D

I chose this Av after my soul had been found..........it's from the first time the Lama and I spent together. It's of my favorite things, me between his legs, his hands on my nips and his hard pole in my hand. *sigh*
Just another pic that I thought was sexy. I like to change them a lot.

It was a picture I'd taken one day and emailed to kleclere to tease him while at work. I liked it, so I thought I'd use it for an avatar. And PF won't let me change it. :D

That's RIGHT! If you change it, my lips will be stuck to my monitor for no reason. :lust:
