When will Yahoo! give us more Avatar face choices, hair colours & styles...?

...more fashions %26amp; shoes, and more facial hair for the guys? What about middle aged and elderly avatar faces? Why is there only one real smile option for the girls? When people first create their avatar, it is kind of fun, choosing the hair and expression and clothes--it's a novelty to get to dress up a cartoon of yourself. But then you start noticing that there is very little variety. It's kind of strange that all the avatars appear to be in their teens or twenties and thin; but not everyone looks like that, and it is kind of limiting and insulting to some to have to portray themselves as young and fit when, in fact, they may not be. Not everyone wants to stay young forever. And because of such limited options, all the avatars look related to one another. On the one hand, this could be perceived as a symbolic example of the interrelatedness of people all over the earth; on the other hand, though, it seems that Yahoo! is trying to create a master avatar race, whose point-grubbing subjects are all young and thin.

Em...perhaps best to just think of the overall impression...???



;) Myself, I believe what makes the BEST avatar is when the individual achieves a fairly-good in-depth self-portrait: I honestly worked HARD to CHOOSE the best options where mine WOULD be! :D



[I am honestly even MORE blue in my DL pic.]



Mine turned out to be an internal self-portrait combined with an external one--it looks like the sum of my self: philosophical, medical, all components considered, an image of the inadequately-breathing dead, a way of being honest with myself in regard to my overall health picture, a coping mechanism in its way [just like my nick, I think they make a good match]. ;)



I think that is the BEST way to reflect one's overall look, if one does in fact capture the WHOLE of one's *look*--looking outside AND INSIDE, the honest facts of their lives.



In that sense, I believe my avatar is a declaration that I am at peace with myself, my life, my fate, which is a gift I would wish for anyone on the path to happiness. :)



I think overall the avatar system is fun, light-hearted, and I actually appreciate the somewhat entertaining way to express my more macabre reality. ;)



I mean, where else can you find such a *cute* way to visually express that I have lost my ever-lovin' mind than that pic showing me there holding my head after it's gone and rolled off? ;)



I also appreciate that it gives ALL users the chance to sort through what they value, how they perceive themselves, how they wish to appear vs how they DO actually appear...what they hope to see in the mirror vs reality...whether they like ALL their components...whether they like THEMSELVES...key factors brought to light by your excellent question--THANKS! :D
