Hey all! We discussed this ages ago but does anyone want to go ahead and do it? If anyone is up for e-mailing (etherealworld@aol.com) me a picture of yourselves, then I'll get our mugshot gallery up

Oh dear, e/mailing a photograph - that sounds complicated. I'll see what I can do.
The idea of a rogues gallery sounds fun to me. I'll do it as long as mine is not the only mugshot up there!!

By the way, who's going to start rolling the ball here?? I guess I will. I logged back on 'cos I see four of the top five posters here at once.

When you've acquired enough photos to justify creating a gallery, it might be quite jolly to post them without names in the first instance. We could all try and guess who they are. There are lots of clues existing in the various threads that would help with this...
We know that Lori is pretty - my own photo is pretty indifferent though. Are we all so ugly that we're afraid to send in a snap or two? Perhaps we are - maybe thats why we spend all our time hunched over a keyboard posting on this site. Yes that's it, we're all afraid to go out in the daylight.... J/K folks, honest!

I tend to avoid having my photo taken if I can help it plus I don't really have any recent pictures but I'll see what I can come up with.
I do have one of when I was 15 and sporting a cheesy smile.

I do support the idea of a gallery, but I have my reservations. I hope that revealing ourselves doesn't change how we relate to one another. Already our sexes and ages factor in how we perceive our experiences. I am tempted to see all your faces, but once pandora's box is opened, will we be better for it? Also, on a more paranoid level... the guests tend to bother me. I don't really have a problem with the regulars and a gallery, but who knows what lurks outside Cathy's Window. Personally, I don't want followers to place a name with a face. Anyone have anything to add to this?

I have an affinity for this sentiment. Although I am quite vain (a nasty trait I know), there is value in mystery and anonymity. I can maintain my mystic and dignity by keeping you guessing, while on the other hand, like Zan, I'd like to feel closer to the core group. Having shared who I look like (Danny McIntosh, Clapton, etc) I'd rather you imagine me as the distinguished and handsome man that I am, than the one of me posing with a glare on my mug.

I personally am not concerned at all by the the thought of a stranger looking at a strangers face with a strangers name on it. It's not as though Guests have access to the limited amount of info on our profiles is it. Your point about how there might be changes in how we relate to each other, is a really interesting one. I hadn't considered this at all. Let me ask you a question though, You've seen (I assume) Lori's birthday pics on here and also her image on the KB website of hers. Did it change your opinion of Lori in any negative way? Obviously you don't need to answer that. Sometimes its the anonymity of a forum like this that attracts people. Whatever, if you're not comfortable with the idea of posting your personal image then you should not be pressured into it because others don't share the reservation. Go with what feels good Xan, I certainly wouldn't think badly of anyone who declined to expose themselves in this way. I don't think any of us would.
