Best of the avatars

[GOK]

I would say you also fit into that category as well, GOK.

Ooohh you have made me blush, Sir! Thank you for your kind words

Great new pic, Dinerman!

 

[fortworthgal]

I think I've only had a couple since I've been here. My current one was taken back in September in a BT-15 trainer and I was dressed as a WWII WASP. I think I had a different WASP shot before that.

My favorite are probably Quigley Brown and Tony in Tarzana, although I have seen many lovely avatars on this forum!

 

[priestyboy]

Pick one.

Wingnut,

I've seen this photo (2nd photo, B+W) on Paddy's page.

My question is, how did you get the vintage effect. Photoshop or something expensive like that?

 

[scotrace]

Bumpity Bump.

 

[Chad Sanborn]

Here are some I have used here and at other websites.

Some great avatars in here..!!!

I just LOVE the one of Seth (Happyfilmguy) which has been shown in here under the BEST NOIR LOOK.

I want a print of the original version of that Houdini poster for my wall...

This is actually a poster for a magician named "Thurston". Not a great magician, but rather a great showman. I think he would have been successful doing anything. His posters are highly prized and very colorful. Eyecatching is the word I guess.

Thanks for that... there *is* a Houdini poster that has the same "Do Spirits Come Back" legend on it though, and that's the one I was thinking of:

Your one was posted on Shorpy recently, wasn't it?

 

[PADDY]

nice!

Houdini does it for me!

Happy Film Guy's noirish avatar!!

This one of Seth is just GREAT!!!:eusa_clap

 

[Mike in Seattle]

I don't know how to link to it or post it, but ShortClara's new one (on a bench with the giant hand about to grab her) is a hoot and a half.

 

[Miss 1929]

Always the same here

But I switch them around a lot on Myspace. I thought I would let it sink in for a while... maybe it's time to try one of these out...?

On our anniversary...

Around the time of the Queen Mary Art Deco Weekend

My current winter Myspace look

Halloween

And around Gatsby, the original Miss 1929 (god, was I ever so young?)

 

[imoldfashioned]

Great picture--the fan just makes it. I also really like the one with the green gloves.

 

[The Wolf]

I love the photo of you in the snow (hail? rain?).

Sincerely,
The Wolf

 

[MissHannah]

Me too - fabulous coat and gorgeous green gloves.

 

[Mojito]

They're all gorgeous, Miss 1929 - the snow photo is particularly evocative. I love the style and composition of the anniversary shot, the Halloween outfit is gorgeous (perhaps not as in-theme with the FL as the others, but so lovely I don't think it would matter at all if you chose it), and of course I'm partial to the "original" Miss 1929 shot.

 

[Fletch]

My gosh Sara, that anniversary pic totally had me fooled - I'd have guessed it was from the 40s if not ealier...

And now some past Fletch avatars.

The nonexistent aquamarine Borsalino, brought to you thru the magic of Photoshop.

Robert Benchley stuffing face in How to Sleep, 1935.

I use a variant of this pic as my avatar over at VLJ.

Unidentified somnolent, ca. 1938. From www.squareamerica.com.

What happens when you wet a Milan straw.

My favorite.
