    Mine is after a professional makeup artist did the makeup and a professional photo shoot. Unfortunately it was before the digital age came out and all I had were the photos in my hand in front of my web cam.

    I will have better professional digital photos taken next month in a local transformation service that I will post afterward.

    The wig was purchased pre-styled on Ebay, but I usually do my own wig styling, everything else is my own work. The photo was taken after returning home from a local group meeting.

    Mine is all my own work - does it show? ...and I think it was just an evening dressing.

    As Sinatra would say, "I did it my way"! Mainly because this is the one area I don't get any help from my wife, she never uses makeup so I've had to figure it out on my own. She's a good critic though, if I use too much eyeliner she asks what street corner I plan to stand on....

    My avatar is all my wife's work including the leather skirt and sweater. This was taken on Christmas day 1990 and everything you see were gifts from her.

    It's all me, and I always do my own makeup, hair, etc. This was taken just after an outing with several friends in San Francisco this fall, which explains why the hair is a little bit windblown.

    This is all me and I am not a professional by any means. So in other words it is OK for all of you to try this yourself.

    My avatar shows my skills as they were 11 years ago. I can do much better now - I've arranged with a GG friend to do a photo shoot once I have a few more clothes (everything got thrown out a while back).

    The picture was taken by another GG friend - supportive friends have made all the difference for me.

    I did mine all by myself and my current avatar is one of the very few keepers that came from my first picture session. My mini tripod was a disaster and my rechargable batteries ran out after only a few shots. I switched to alkaline batteries and my regular tripod.

    I wear the dress often with slight variations of accessories when I do chores around the house.

    That must have been thrilling!

    Oh, And I too do my own makeup.

    It's all my work, and it shows! Usually will just have lipstick on, since I will do full makeup only when I'm going to be alone in the house for a while, which is once in a great while.

    That is all my own work on makeup and outfit. Also, no photo of me has been touched up or photo-shopped. The avatar photo was taken by a friend as I sat in the hotel lobby for Erie Gala waiting to leave for dinner theater in town.
