OS Avatar Collage Project copy

 

OK, here’s the deal. There's still time to join in and become part of OS history.


Everyone loves a First Edition, and you can be part of one. The first ever Official Open Salon Avatar Collage Project is off and running – and we’re accepting up to 400 avatars (profile images) for the 23” x 23” poster, as well as t-shirts and mugs to be unveiled in December.


All you have to do is post a decent resolution image of your avatar (no copyright items, though) on your blog and tag it ‘OS Collage’ so we can find it. We’ll then download the image and post a comment on your blog post letting you know that you’re in the mix. If you don't receive an acknowledging comment from DogWoman, we don't have your avatar. Send us a message if you're confused. For more info, go to Skeptic Turtle’s post for OS Avatar Collage Version 2.0


The current count is up to 109 after just two days.


Some lively discussion took place yesterday with infamous curmudgeon BBE weighing in on the project. With the usual panache that we’ve come to expect, BBE’s acerbic diatribe tried to cast a pall over the party. Are we going to let Eeyore rain on our parade? Thrown down the gauntlet, BBE has (sorry, couldn’t help the Yoda speak). This requires a call to action! There are some 6,000 of us out there, and the BBEs of the blogosphere won’t be able to keep a mere 400 of us down. Stand up and be counted.


The Few. The Proud. The OS Avatar Collagers.

Shameless bump to get on the front page in more than one place.
You're on, BBE. Be careful what you wish for . . .
bumping and rated for the cuteness that is Weasel, and to thank you for all your dogsbody work on this.
Okay, let's meet BBE's challenge...

I'm enjoying seeing pictures of everyone, especially those who haven't posted pictures of themselves before. I love a face with a name.
Precious puppy looks like a baby bear cub!!! See lots of them in Lake Tahoe!
Oh, BBE, you know you want it.
love the baby Weaz! Oh would that they could stay so cute and little and precious, ummyummykewtiepies!

Oh, wait, I say that about my children, too. "Yeah, lookit (indicating precious cute photograph) - you Used to be cute!"
Put baby Weaz at the top! At the top!
Waitaminute!!! BBE? B(aby) W(easel)?,.......I'm confused.

Wait!..........OK, now I get it!
Bump and rate and much love and affection.
Also,

Baby Weasel photo is the kind of photo that could break a million hearts........
Rated as requested.

Re: Baby Weasel: WANT!!!

Omigosh, she is just the cutest thing EVER. I gotta download her to my Just Too Cute photo file. Do I have Mom's permission?
You do indeed, merwoman. She is totally adorable, isn't she!
Thanks, DogWoman! She is now firmly ensconced in my Cute folder. What a doll!

BBE--You can't be Stella, your writing is nothing like hers. And if you were Lonnie I doubt he'd be saying you're a chick--unless he's really into the red herring thing. Nope, if you're a chick, it's got to be someone whose writing style is closer to yours. Then again, maybe you're just BBE, curmudgeonly guy extraordinaire. :)
I think BBE is someone's alter ego....if not from here, than from Big Salon. The voice sounds familiar, but I can't place it. S'nough to make my brain itch.
BBE is like that guy in life that drives you nuts and yet somehow your friends with. I really hate to admit this, because I just think it feeds BBE in the way he or she or it wants...but we need that cranky next door neighbor to make this sitcom work. And it certainly wouldn't be as interesting with the fresh...I could care less what you think (even though I don't fully believe that) attitude...I think he does care, but he also cares about speaking his piece...which is cool. I personally didn't think it was possible for it to reach 400...but now I just want it to reach 399...just for the BBE upside.

Maybe if Freaky allows any0ne new who signs up the chance to touch his foothole?
Wait, I thought Freaky was a GIRL!
I should be upset about the Eeyore comment but it's no less than I've come to expect. It's just one thing after another. *sigh*
Hi, sKim, it's Mary. I TOLD Steve that Eeyore is misunderstood and just sounds grumpy. I'll let you in on a secret--Steve calls my dad "Eeyore" because he has that same vocal intonation. My dad is actually a great guy, just sounds dour and has a half-empty complex. Steve says this offers you a great chance to come out from behind your Eeyore avatar and join the OS collage with a non copyrighted image. Glad to meet you!
Yeah, I want a closer look at that blue bike of yours, Blue Eyes...

Love this! Thanks, Dogwoman! And Weasel was such a cute puppy!!

rated, love Weasel! Wigglepuppy says woof and sends a tail wag....
I think it'd be great to get BBE as part of the collage.

But there are scores of other people who need to be harassed into participating. Check your friends' blogs and see who hasn't yet posted a picture with the 'os collage' tag. Tell them they need to upload now! Use guilt, pleas, bribes, and non-violent threats. Whatever works.
Well, I don't know if I'm going to do this (time? decent enough resolution?) but that's the cutest puppy ever. omg baby weasel. About to pass out from the overload.
I don't know what the rules are, but can I put in a plea for using the actual avatar pictures and not just other pictures people like. I think what makes it an interesting collage is not that it's a picture of the person, but it's a picture of the person as we see them on a day to day basis, like someone arranged us into a digital photoshoot one day. Some people have put up interesting pictures but not of their own avatar. I won't recognize those people later when I (presumably) get the t-shirt as a gift from my loving family (hint, hint).
Severe Puppy Lust!
This is such a neat project -- can't wait to see the final result!
