Make a doll that looks like you. We did this once before. Have you changed? Click the boy or girl tab, and then the little b/w tabs up top. Let's see how cute you are! Click on the little gif or jpg icon under your photo and save it to imageshack or wherever. If you upload it to your own server you can use the javascript and display an animated doll. Oooooo sparkly.

Here's me, with bunnies. Not this skinny though.

My dad calls me "bunny teeth".

I can't get the dollmaker to work. It's just being crashy-crashy. I'll keep trying though.

I am trying the boy options, but there are no boy faces, as far as I see.

Definitely not this thin though.

danf, you can get to the faces with the little tabs up top - the face is the 9th one after the question mark. Lots of dude faces there.

This is basically what I'm wearing, but Lacey did not come to work with me today. What a bum.

I made a dolly but I can't get the link to post here! I see the picture in preview, but keep getting an error when I try to post:

Parser error: not well-formed (invalid token) near

You aren't trying to link directly to the page you created it on, are you, TPS? You have to save it and put it on your own site (Flickr/Photobucket etc)

Yes, I was.

Hehe, just looked at the old threat, my toon is quite similar down to the same shirt.

posted by deborah 20 March | 16:30

These are all excellent... :D

Of the folks who I know what they look like, the doll has a definite resemblance.

My hair's not quite right, I don't have bangs. And the doll maker needs a fat button. :)

It's better animated. Click for dancing genetically engineered korean bears.

This is as close as I can get. Add some mid-30's weight, make the glasses nerdy square instead of round, lighten the hair slightly to include some gray and blond. That half-smile isn't a smirk -- it's the way I look in every photograph, despite my best efforts to ensure that I'm smiling evenly.

I am in Venice this time, with my cat. Though she didn't actually come to Venice with me. And she doesn't look like that at all. But I've got a cool gray streak in my hair!

I mean, in the doll image thing, I've got a cool gray streak in my hair. In real life, it's more random gray bits.

This afternoon:
Nothing really matched the blue dress and white shirt or my boots and tights, or scarf, bag--

Except as much as i'd like to do long bangs, bangs really bother me.

eth, it's raining blood and pigs in your last one - it must be Easter!

That's my fave, btw - fits my mental image of you (not the blood and pigs, but the 'do n' stuff).
