My avatar is always me, as I have little reason to hide. My online presence is fairly pronounced! I've reached a career position where I can't be fired, and if my friends find me on Lush, it certainly shouldn't come as a surprise to them, if they know me at all. I have a few business clients who may be shocked to see my profile here, but I seriously doubt they'd ever come to a site like this, and if they do, SHAME ON THEM! lol
I was 'outed' to my family as a bisexual so many years ago, there's nothing to hide anymore.
Perhaps I will dip my toe into the waters of "showing the real me" now. I'm not sure there is a "real me," or a real anybody, but I will take a baby step in that direction.
Yes my avatar and images on my profile are all 100% me
Yes my avatar and profile pics are all of me
Yes my pics are of me. A couple of my motorcycle and a dew of lovely scenes from wild and wonderful. There is a few of women who i think are beautiful also.
The first 4 months on lush we had a photo of our 'toys' for our avatar. We now have the photo of wife's boobs, we seem to get more daily profile views now ;)
old gray haired gruff goat found in my back yard.
I use a real pic of myself
My avatar is my wife, Jay.
i used pics of myself in the beginning, mainly because i did on other sites. here it seems to almost be encouraged to express yourself with avatars, so i decided to give it a go. haven't looked back! i enjoy finding ones that fit my mood.
I've used both. I was called out by a mod here that said I used a cropped pic of someone else. I apologized and replaced it with a genuine ChuckEpoo. I've always used one of myself on the sister site. The one I use now reflects the real me. Lol.
Mine is me, partly because I am that crap at technology that I wouldn't have a clue how to find and then paste a random pic from the net! And it also reflects my interests and personality fairly accurately, is fairly modest too.
I use a real picture as my avatar. Wish could get it turned up right. Hope you all like as much as I do.

I first used my lips..I like that they were mine
Then I wanted something else..so again red lips ..red bra
After reading all the warnings and seeing nicola's post about using personal pics..I wish my lips hadn't disappeared when I changed my avatar
For this reason only..I don't care if anyone I know sees me on here..I have NOTHING to be ashamed of...
What made me queasy is the thought of a stranger using my pic
I think its more about internet safety now than anonymity. ..but that is just me
