Make A Doll That Looks Like You Yes, this is lame. And yes, I am over the age of 15. Click the boy or girl tab, and then the little b/w tabs up top. Let's see how cute you are!
Here's me, or what I looked like about 20 years ago. I swear I have clothes on right now that look almost exactly like this. Normally there is not a hamster dancing on my head, but what the hell.

It's like they just took a photo of my friends & I!

Loads of fun trying on army-skirts that I couldn't possibly fit in. ;9

It doesn't look dissipated enough.
posted by matildaben 10 June | 15:10
Hmm. I couldn't figure out how to save the image to link to it here. Whichever combo looks the dumbest, I guess that's me. :)

Hey, tilda, I use hair pomade and body wash now. I'm not as dissipated as I once was. Yesterday...well, I woke up to late to shave and I was hammered. What can I say?
posted by jonmc 10 June | 15:13
These are hilarious. MGL, jonmc and dabitch, the dolls all actually look like you! If someone else had posted them and asked who we thought they were I would have picked the three of you. MGL especially....it's uncanny.

cmonkey, why are you a cow? Shouldn't you be a monkey?

JanetLand, I got the HTML code from the little icon under the photo, and got the img src from that. Alternately, you could temporarily save it as a gif or jpeg and upload it to flickr or image shack or whatever. Did anyone else do it a different way?
posted by iconomy 10 June | 15:20
I just saved it as a jpg & put it up on my blog, then linked to that image. The HTML didn't work for me - it kept going back to a previous version, the version with a half a watermelon on its head. Which would have been okay, actually, except I couldn't combine the watermelon with the right hair, damn. I was just thinking, iconomy, that yours looks exactly how I've always imagined you'd look!

I don't have time to do this now but I want do. Does it allow you to put glasses on them? Because none of yours have glasses, and mine are an intrinsic part of me, so I can't do it without them.
posted by matildaben 10 June | 15:27
Yep, one of the tabs has a pair of glasses on it, and in the eyes section there are some too.

eth, that's how I pictured you! Without the wings tho...

Flopsy....c u t e ;)

Is the Javascript version the only way to get an animated image? What a letdown.

This is pretty much me. Wearing what I wear every day, although I couldn't find a black hoodie. Hair's a little too blonde though.

Just like that, except darker haired, less femme, less posey, and... nothing like that, really.

Heh Lola_G: that is totally you.
posted by gaspode 10 June | 19:29
Right? I thought the same about yours as well and then I had to make one!

You didn't do that right, LT - you had to save yours. Unless you look like this, because this is what I see... ;)

The shame. They don't have many beard and Acubra hat options, really.

≡ Click to see image ≡
posted by Jimbob 10 June | 20:35
I tried, but they're all too skinny and have these weird 'stache-less beards.

MGL's is almost uncanny. gaspode's isn't bad, but lacks her sunny smile (and the black hoodie). amberglow... no. You're better looking than that. LT, that pic you linked to looks just like the woman who used to live next door to us, only she was reddish-blonde. agro... close, but you're also better looking than that.

My overall impression is that this thing works better for women than men.

AAARRRGGHHH!!!, I can't get this to show up here! And I look so cute, too.
*heavy sigh*

redvixen - click on one of the icons with gif jpg or png on it to save the picture. Then go someplace like this - upload the picture there and copy the address. COme back here, click the image button, and paste in the address.

MGL's is great but it's not on this page anymore :(

Here's mine. Pretty accurate, I think.

Well i tried, but it wasnt allowing me to change skin tone...and size...so seeing that i'm not a skinny white chick with an afro...

hmmph!

I think this is pretty close. I'd like it better if they had options for body size.
posted by deborah 10 June | 23:05
ramix, it didn't have my skin tone either, which is kind of a sallow-olivey Italian. I just ignored that fact, mainly because I wanted to play with the clothes... ;)

Apart from being way thinner than me, this is a fairly accurate 'portrait' of me, in the clothes I wore to the meetup.

posted by essexjan 11 June | 03:26
I'd say occhiblu's was pretty close, but doesn't capture her incredible laugh. Essexjan, the meetup-clothes doll is adorable!

And yeah, well, mine's too skinny. That goes without saying. This anime aesthetic doesn't really include bodaciousness. Apparently it doesn't include chocolate bodaciousness either which is a shame because I'd love to see an avatar of ramix.
posted by matildaben 11 June | 10:53
Anybody who wants skin color can send their png or jpg to me, and I'll fix it up (I think I can, anyway). The lack of bodacious, I can't cure. :)
posted by taz 11 June | 10:59
I can't believe how well these match up to those of you I've seen in photos.

Wolfdog made me laugh, but it does kind of look like him.

Here's the party version of me (this is pretty much exactly what I would wear):

Thank you, porpoise, I can be such a ditz on the computer sometimes. This is me, only less luscious.

Me going to the opera Friday night. (I know! The Opera! I'm so cultured! Actually, I'm just excited cuz it was a new dress.)

ha! this is Central Park, occhi. I chose the same background with that in mind... What's this New England you are speaking of?

And it seems I am Wolfdog's separated-at-birth twin sister!
posted by carmina 11 June | 23:39
Ahhhh, Central Park.

I.... still can't imagine jonmc there.

I think it's the scarf with no jacket, actually. It gives it such collegiate flair.

Sciurus, I think for a different post you have to start with the "full body" choice and then customize.

posted by Wolfdog 12 June | 10:02
Wow. Thanks, wolfdog. I still can't figure out what went wrong.

So that is awfully close to my standard goin'outfit. The cowboy boots are pretty close to the Dingos I actually wear. Should have chosen different jeans - these are dark like I like, but I don't like the weird cuffs. The top is OK, but I must bemoan a distinct lack of Western wear among the choices.

I agree that these are fairly uncannily close to the way people look. Matildaben, that's you. Jonmc, that's pretty darn close. Occhiblu and wolfdog are really close. We boil down to some pretty simple elements, don't we?

Did I just not find it, or is there an option for changing skin color?
posted by Miko 12 June | 10:13
Mine's a much better fit since I darkened the hair. I generally don't look like princess wolfdog of the red-gold hair.
