Which Is More Intriguing?

Ok. So not everyone who has a blog posts their pictures. Some people do, of course.

Those who choose not to post a pic, we get to know their minds and hearts(no matter how much they try to hide the later, it almost always comes out in the comments!) before ever "seeing" their face. So we have an Utopian ideal going on. "I've never seen his/her face, but he/she is beautiful/sexy, whatever the case may be.

Now, with those who post the pic, the illusion of the fantasy is gone or you now have a pretty/handsome face to put to the fantasy.


So which is better, being able to put your interpretation of the fantasy in your head or seeing their face smiling back at you in your head???

Ooh, nice pic!

I don't know, Mr. Applewhite does indeed distract me, but Herge has a definite allure even though I've never seen his face.

Then there is Dave. I've seen ALL of him and it keeps getting better & better!

Can you tell that he's still at work right now???

I think I got better responses before I showed the world my nasty self. I wish I could turn back time or lie at the least!

Ah, Welcome to Dreamer's Reality Mr. Underhill. We have some nicely appointed hobbit sized rooms should you require one. ;-)

Yes, too bad we don't live inthat ideal world. But then again, the ideal world could be very boring...

Come back and visit anytime!

Has nothing to do with mystery. My fat ass doesn't represent me, that's all.

I prefer to create my own images for people.

I am convinced that Angrychimp resembles a cross between Dr Strangelove, Jerry Springer and a Dalek.

Oops, forgot to comment.

I'm a bit of both - I definately see Garfer as the kid in the Teacakes ad (above).

I know what you mean by the allure thing - I have published a pic of me many months ago when the dog got ill (now at Aprils blog).

At the end of the day, I'm more interested in the words than the pics.

Me too. Apic is one dimention of the person whereas the worlds tell the tale.

I love pictures, but the heart and soul of the words move me!

If I knew how to post pictures I WOULD do BOTH!

thanks mhn! I agree, the reason I read blogs is because of their words, though I don't mind the eye candy that goes along with it sometimes.

You want eye candy? Go check out Ward Applewhite. He's dreamy and a sweetie!
