I hate when ANYBODY does that, who cares, people are people and everyone is equal. It's like they are saying "I'm a star just like them". And the celebrity saying "I have a fan just unlike me". Plus stars aren't any big deal, they are just people, but some of them get a big head like they are on top of the world.

Why do people collect autographs? Or cheap, tacky souvenirs of their trip to New York City? Because they want to have a wonderful memory, something tangible that will help them remember. Some people like to show pictures with celebrities because they believe that by extension, it will give them some sort of vicarious fame or importance. But that's okay, too. Ever wear a designer garment with the label emblazoned on the front, or a buy a designer handbag, or a pair of Air Jordans? Same idea. If you look closely at your own life, isn't there something that you kept and showed proudly as a keepsake of a pleasant experience or to help bolster your confidence in some way? It's all good. |

Baro2 Maybe they do it to keep themselves private, and because they admire the person. I have a face of a j-pop singer because I like her music, ayumi hamasaki. I know I'm better looking than her so that makes me a loser? I have pictures of myself on here but I wouldn't use it as an avatar but I wouldn't mind if others use my face as an avatar.

That's another pet peeve of mine. I have a Chaps shirt but I hate that it has a logo. I have two Timberland shirts, but I hate that they have the Timberland logo. I'd avoid buying them for full price, but I couldn't resist the deal. I'm proud that I never bought a Members Only jacket. quote: Originally posted by Mystique:

I wondered whether that was you. That's what I mean - I don't want to wonder. If I knew it wasn't you, that wouldn't be as bad. Everyone here is in the business so I expect professional shots and pretty faces, which makes this harder than the average forum to tell whether an avatar is the poster. |

Do you hate to drink Coca-Cola because it has the Coca-Cola logo on it? Do you hate to drive Toyotas because it has the Toyota logo on it? Do you hate to wear Levi's because it has the Levi's logo on it? Welcome to the wonderful world of reality. |

Oh, so since I buy my second choice if it's on sale I must drive a Toyota? That's the kind of thing that makes me want to hide labels. I'm sure there some inexpensive shirts that look like they may be expensive. Put a Chaps logo on it and it ruins everything. Put a Timberland logo on it and people think you're a lumberjack. |

Sorry for the typos, I understand that it's cool to meet your favorite star and all, but people think that they are important because they have a bunch of pictures and have no contact information with them, that's kind of sad. |

Yes, I do have photos of stars at home, but I don't carry them around for other people to see. |

Whether you have photos of stars at home or in your wallet, the purpose remains essentially the same. In reality, is there much of a difference? |

I know a guy and every time I see him or he sees people , he pulls out his photos to show me and I don't care and many people don't as well. There is a difference, some people need to validate themselves in public and impress people, that's not my style but if that what makes him happy, whatever! It's sad to see. |

No more wondering.

Uhhh, you don't know the whole story I'm involved with so it's easy to make that assumption, and in my opinion your point is null and void. There's more to it than you think.  |
