M&M Characters

Yet again, I found myself creating a nifty little avatar dude. This time as an M&M character.

I found the site through Popcandy, and Whitney had this to say:

"Apparently, the company's new ad campaign aims to humanize its candy more than ever before. I ask you: Is there anything more frightening than the sight of Mary Lou Retton ... as an M&M?

Bobby Flay also appears in M&M's new celebrity gallery, which has sparked some sort of new phobia within my soul that I've yet to name. Not only is it just wrong to see an M&M donning a hairpiece, but I can't help but wonder why the meltable version of Flay is perched next to an open flame.

Those who harbor no fear of human M&M's may be interested in the website's "Create Your Character" feature, which allows anyone to become Candy-ized."

I've got mine rockin' a microphone, like I'm up on the stage or some sort. :)

Manga Me!

So I found this website through the PopCandy and had a good time creating my own version of me as a manga.

Whitney at PopCandy had this to say: "Ever wonder what you'd look like as a wide-eyed manga character? The website FaceYourManga.com allows you to transform yourself into a manga superstar in several easy steps.

Here's what my pic looks like -- I could've gotten even fancier with tattoos and makeup, but you get the idea. At the end of the process, you can e-mail the image to yourself and turn it into your avatar.

Thanks to Lynn S. for the tip."

Enjoy!
