What's In a Name or Avatar?

Hey... this hasn't been done in awhile.

It's the new Org. and I see a lot of new faces.

Let's introduce ourselves (old and new) and give eachother the reason behind our names and avatars.

K? mr.green

I'll start.

June7: My birthday and Prince's. mr.green

I was born June 7, 1965. Prince, June 7, 1958. He's exactly seven years older than me. I always thought that was cool. Seven is my favorite number.

Avatar: I'm a moderator now... and I thought... hmmm, I've been dying to wear this one!

biggrin


and you? biggrin

Seriously though. It's a self-portrait of Picasso done in his 20's during his so-called Blue Period. Can you relate?

Good Dat 2 all
I am Ron born in '69 seems appropriate wink
1Luv is my philosophy, we all have our likes & dislikes wants & needs and if we love each other as we love ourselves the world would be great indeed.

MY avatar is of Vanity no not that Vanity but the other Vanity but o'did I do love that Vanity so much. I prayed for 7inces thanks to dad got a few more yes!
The Avatar speaks to beauty is where U find it, to the fact that what U see isn't always what U see and to the ideal of sexual freedom.
If I ever gave my g/f a 3some with another male it would be w/a ladyboy as fine as this.
I find it lonely being a loner

UptownDeb

I must've wanted the name SexyDancer but I'm sure it was taken. Just "Uptown" and "Deb" (deborah).

All my avatars have been old school Prince-related. Vanity's part of that era so why not.

When I'm feeling like a git, I use "Lleena."

Really? I thought it was something to do with Narnia. There's a book in the series called "The Voyage Of The Dawn Treader".

NWF

avatar

I go by the handle here on the org as NWF, which stands for "New Wave Forever". New Wave was a genre of Alternative music that existed in the late 70's-early-to-mid 80's. Some of it's stars include Adam Ant, The Police, Duran Duran, Depeche Mode, INXS, The Pretenders, Elvis Costello, Culture Club, U2, Blondie, etc. It is also my favorite genre and one that I hope will never die even if it is dead & buried already. Fortunately, we have a new breed of Alternative Rock groups that are bringing it back. These so-called "New Wave Revivalists" are keeping the spirit of the genre alive.

My latest avatar is simply a found pic of the letters' "NWF". I just thought I'd do something simple for a change. There's a theme to my avatars. They either consist of my name or one of my favorite New Wave as well as non-New Wave records.

I will change my avatar soon. I'm thinking of something simple though. You'll just have to wait and see what it is. wink

I took a small break from the Org and did not want to return as Stymie, a family nickname so I picked TOFKA. New attitude, new name. My avvie was once again, given to me by BananaCologne. I picked it cuz the artist's name is Roberto Romo and it remninded me of my middle name Romera.

Sweeny is a character in a SCI-FI book I love called "Waking the Moon" by Elizabeth Hand.

Sweeny becomes involved in a love triangle that is controlled by circumstances WAY over her head,( the moon goddess, a cult of sorts, time travel, telepathy, magik , the occult nuts), anyhoo... in the middle of the book Sweeny is in a taxi, after being separated from her love by many forces at play, and The Beautiful Ones comes on the radio and she starts to cry and the book says:

So This is what it's like to get old, you ride around in cabs and cry when you hear Prince on the radio.....

Then I heard a low voice whisper "Sweeny, I'll love you next time..."


Sweeny never "gets" the guy but she ends up finding out that she was the one he loved all along. (It's a complicated and very out there book but it's definitely worth the time to read it. thumbs up!)

Someone I love very much told me that it sounds melancholy and I suppose it does and that's why I like it. biggrin


1979 is the year I was born


My avatar is a picture of the mud flap girl, Sweeney is a company that makes mudflaps. She started out as a joke but I came to love her sexy silly connotation (and the memories that they evoke) and I adopted her as a symbol for myself. sexy giggle





and that's probably WAY more than anyone wanted to know! lol rose
