Is This Real Life?

No, no it is not. It is cartoon life.

So after that last post about Coldplay becoming Simpsonized in September, it got me thinking. What would I look like as a character from several popular television shows? So after some snooping around on the internet, I found out.

Let's start out with The Simpsons, with me being the one in the tight pink shirt as Homer stares at my yellow knockers in the bar. This looks nothing like me, obviously. The girl has way more skin tone than me (although I'm gaining ground after the Outer Banks trip). She does have a decent figure, which is nice. But her shoes are fugly, her hair is all wrong and the eyebrow-less thing isn't right at all.

I got a little closer to what I look like with the South Park avatar creator. The hair was closer to what it looks like (especially when it's humid out and it goes to shit), and it had eyebrows (although not in black like mine are, compared to my brown hair. Mine are a remnant of a dark childhood head of hair, and stubbornly refuse to change hue no matter what hair dye I put in them as I dye the rest of my head). Regardless, the necklace, the hair, and the shirtdress were closer to what I likened myself to as a cartoon.

Plus, South Park totally gives me license to curse as much as I want. Which...is good (I'm a lady on the inside, I swear).

Hands down, my favorite was the "Mad Men Yourself!" feature on the Mad Men site over at AMC. It lets you pick whether you're a "Suit" or a "Skirt," and then you go from there. Clearly, this is what I might look like a few decades ago (or a few decades from now, with the hair), but I like it. This was the first cartoon maker that even when you pick yourself a less skinny model for your bod, it still looked sexy, especially with the clothes they give you. And that's a plus for me, because I'm not a stick. With the hair, lipstick and eyebrows? Not going to lie, it kind of looks like what I was going for at senior prom.

Plus, it puts me in the world of one of my favorite shows in the world.

Now if they only did this for House? I'd be totally sold.
