Creating an Avatar

I used "Doppelme" for my experience with the avatar creation tools. I had first attempted to use "Simpsonize me" but the website was too overloaded because of its "immense popularity" and turned me away. Doppelme turned out to be a great experience. There were a few characteristics that were accessible without signing up, but since it was free I wanted to access all of my options and registered for the website. I was sent a password to my e-mail, and then had the opportunity to change it immediately to something I would remember. I was able to pick my skin color, eye color, hair style and color, and facial expression with many options. Clothing was very limited, since most of it seemed to be geared for males. I did have fun with it though, and put myself on the beach with my favorite accessory: my laptop, though I was not able to change the color and show that my laptop is pink. When I have time, I would love to go through all of the websites and see the various avatars I could make for myself. The idea of playing with a cartoon version of myself is a very interesting and possibly controversial topic. I could change my hairstyle and see how I would look with various differences, or try a new style of clothing out on my cartoon self. I always wanted to be on a cartoon, and this is a great opportunity to see how I would look, and use this image to convince the station heads to make me a character.
