The femme "Memoji" guilty pleasure

[alison_nyc]

A super guilty pleasure since my iPhone X updated on Monday to iOS 12...

The latest version supports something called a "Memoji" - an avatar / digital caricature of yourself, that can follow your facial expressions, that you can use in chats. A feature I can't say I'd use at all in my daily life.

But... the last few nights, I've been enjoying the heck out of making femme versions. There is definitely some level of perverse pleasure out of turning this into a "live" femme mirror.

More here to see what I'm talking about...

Technology is so great.

Alison...

I was wondering if you were able to create an emoji of yourself using the apps? I tried with several different apps, and came to the conclusion that even though our friends have them, I can't seem to get one that fits my male self because they aren't designed for Asians? ...I didn't think of trying one for Maria and will try that tomorrow...

Why would I want a Memoji?

My face looks like one now. :-)

Darn, I wanted to create multiple emojis but the old iPhone 6s (updated to IOS 12) doesn’t have the required cameras. Will be hard to justify to moving on up just to get my custom fem emojis. 💄
