I Needed a Lighter Note: Avatars!
Posted by Liza under Silly Internet Quizzes
It’s been way too long since I posted a silly internet quiz or something like it. And I just hit the point where I needed a light moment. So: Yahoo! Avatars.
Thanks, Trista! 
Here I am at work. How did they know to make the office cluttery?

Oh my god. I LOVE my avatar! I was going to post about how much I love my avatar. I can change her clothes, her mood, her expression, her setting, with just a few clicks of a button. And it updates on my blog automatically. I love it when my narcissism is made easier to do.
Your avatar’s cute! Love the shoes. I just wish they made baby avatars…

Ooooooh! I need me one real real bad.
Must go make one. Now. No, later. No, now. Oh the agony is killing me! Damn you!

Yes. That’s exactly what it’s like! Only you can design “Barbie” to look like you, or a version of you that’s more barbie than reality.
Reno thinks there’s one that has more variety in size and shape and hair texture, but the link she had is a site that’s now gone.

It was an awesome site — the body shape was more normal, and there were about 15 skin tones available and I can’t even remember how many shades and types and styles of hair. Alas, it appears to be gone.
