What’s Behind Your Basenotes Avatar?

It’s fantastic 🤌🏻

And i may be repeating myself, but it's a challenge for a mere mortal like me to keep up with yours.

My goodness, you’re too kind!

(whispers) Maybe it’s Maybelline ✨

I periodically switch mine. Sometimes a photo I took, other times just something that speaks to me. No hidden messages or whatnot. Strictly based on what I’m enjoying, like fragrance. Currently it’s a cropped version of a stunning photo taken by legendary photographer Fan Ho. Below is what I cropped from…

This is stunning.

You truly do have the best photographs as your avatars.

No story, but, I suppose i'll take this opportunity to state that I did not take a photo of myself while I was driving, someone else took it, and I was coming to a stop. She told me to smile, but I barely even smirked. 😏

Thank you. I figure anything beside my face would be good. 😂🤣 I’m not as brave as you all!

I’m glad you clarified! 😆

I’d always assumed you were on a train at the time, but now that I look closer, that would be a very strange window for a train.

A good eyebrow lift speaks volumes. Yours says, “Safety first.”

My avatar and screen name are coming from the same person: Ernst Jünger, a german author and philosopher.
We also share the same birthday.

CoolGuy was taken, CoolGuy1 was taken and also CoolGuy123, so I had to come up with something original.

Well…it is, “straight to the point”.

That terrible, frightening D is something special, it would epitomize Death.

That’s so interesting!

My avatar is from the 12" single of New Order’s “True Faith”. It’s both my favorite song and favorite cover. The designer, Peter Saville, inspired me to study graphic design, and the story goes that while working on this project, a leaf landed on his windshield and he simply thought, “That’s beautiful.” The song is not only a fantastic dance tune, the lyrics suggest that life is full of joyful moments (“I feel so extraordinary”) and well worth living. It hints at New Order’s history, as they carried on after the tragic suicide of their original lead singer, and it became a hopeful anthem for me as well.

Factory Records had such great artwork.

My avatar is some oyakodon I made once.

You got that right. The lady is as witty as she's glamorous!

You’re always so kind and supportive, dear @Salumbre ❤️

I can (and will!) say the very same for you! Witty and dashing as always 🙂

My new avatar is of our 1 year old border collie rescue, Casey. She is such a sweet, happy girl--and adds joy to our lives. Here, she's with her new favorite toy.

This is a great thread! Glad it's being revived.

My avatar is grainy and hard to see. It's an old black-n-white picture of prim looking young women doing target practice with rifles. I picked it like a decade ago because it reflected my taste: contradictory elements of femininity and masculinity, a lil dash of militancy. Many years, and sadly many mass shootings in the USA later, I sometimes ponder changing it because guns have become such a symbol of the violence in our culture. I've been uninspired in thinking of a replacement, though.

If anyone has ideas I'm all ears!
