    If you were walking down the street, would your fellow Lilypad friends recognize you from your avatar? I will say yes to mine because my husband, who is usually with me, is also in my avatar and he looks virtually the same as the avatar. (Me, not so much, lol)


    So would you be recognizable to us?

    Yep. Hair is still grey and long although I don't have bangs anymore. Still wear glasses (different frames though).

    Hopefully, since I finally updated it fairly recently after using a decade-old one with different hair colour for years! Haven't changed much since I reset it :-)

    Maybe? I'm in full color in real life. :giggle I actually look more like my avatar now than I did a few weeks ago, since I got my armpit-length pandemic hair chopped off to a chin-length bob. I haven't re-blonded yet, so I'm currently gray/mud, and I haven't had bangs in a couple of years. And I have 9 years worth of aging to add in. My glasses are still the same right now, but I might finally get new frames at my appointment next month. Haven't decided for sure yet. :)

    Oh, goodness! I hope I don't resemble my avatar! I do wear glasses though so one tiny bit of resemblance.

    Yes, I think you would recognize me . . . even though, like @KimJ said, I'd be in color in real life. LOL The photo in my avatar is from April 2020.

    Here's a color photo from April 2021:

    Definitely - as long as I had my baseball cap on, which I do 99% of the time. I recently "graduated" to a cowboy hat, two of them in fact, so maybe not. Depends on what hat I was wearing. hahaha

    Hahaha this is so much fun!! I didn't even know it, but my hubby just took this picture of me today, getting in the car. I had been standing outside talking to my daughter. One thing you'll almost ALWAYS be able to recognize me by - I normally have on a funny T-shirt. This one says "0 Days Without Sarcasm". LOL

    Here's me in my cowboy hat - hot off the press.

    I do not think so.... but the cartoon image is similar to my looks - not such a large smile and I still have some dark brown hair amongst the grey!

    Probably even though my photo is 15/16 years old now. Helps that I haven’t had any facial surgery (medically necessary as a youngster) where I did change quite a bit.

    Mine is from this past Christmas, so walking down the street I probably look pretty similar. Right now at home with my summer pony tail, no makeup look, probably not lol

    Yep. My long term friends joke that I've barely changed from high school. Just rounder. I change my avatar often, so it's usually a recent photo. This one is sometime in the last 6 months. I'd have to check to be sure.
