Truth in Blogging

If you search around our blog site, you’ll see that each of us has an avatar. And you might find this shocking: My avatar looks nothing like me.

 So in the interest of accuracy, I’ve posted a different avatar to the left. My daughter Lindsay drew it many years ago. It’s not perfect – my forehead is definitely more prominent, and I’m sure I never owned a shirt like that one. But it’s closer to reality.

 Beneath my official avatar (and beneath my signature), it says “Grooming for Guys.” Let me be honest here. I’ve never been accused of spending too much time in front of a mirror.

 Looking at my blog posts over the last month, I think we should change “Grooming for Guys” to “Thinks Too Much.”

Yes, I tend to share too many opinions and anecdotes here. I’ll bet most of my readers wish I’d just recommend a nail color and be done with it.

So I’ll do just that.

FingerPaints. One of the things I like about our FingerPaints line of nail polish is the clever color names. How can you resist shades with names like My Art Belongs to You, Steal My Beating Art, and Hue Rang?

Mindy, who also blogs here as the Nail Polish Princess, is the witty talent behind those names. I bow to her greatness.

Maybe she’ll accept a shade suggestion from me: I’ll Be Art in a Minute.

Until that one is available, I’m sure you’ll be happy with the shades listed above, as well as Tough Art to Follow and Easel-y Entertained.

    Love it! Even if this new avatar doesn’t look just like you, it injects a whole lot more personality into your posts than the glossy version. Thanks for sharing!

    I an a faithful reader and I think most of your readers would much rather read your opinions and anecdotes. Sure, throw in a little advice, but keep the stores coming. That’s why I read YOUR blog!
    Love the picture.
