Hello,

The old email address that we used to receive new avatars is now so overrun by spam as to be pretty useless.

So, from now on, please send any pictures you would like to use for your detective avatar to this address:
sleuth.avatars@gmail.com

The rules:
1) This offer is only open to current subscribers.
2) Portrait photos only. No cartoons, illustrations, full body shots, etc.
3) Try to stick with the style of the game.
4) We reserve the right to refuse to post avatar images for any reason. The most common reasons we refuse are:

It can take up to six weeks to turn around avatars, so please don't freak out if you don't hear back right away.

If you sent an avatar to the old address that has not yet been posted, please resend it to this address.

Thank you! (And thanks to the volunteer avatar wranglers who help get these prepared and posted).

you can't stick a round peg in a square hole... or to quote 'white men can't jump' (I think)... you can stick a cat in an oven, but that don't make it a biscuit.

The avatar slot is short and wide. People persist on sending in tall slim photos. Please imagine / consider how your selected pic is going to look in the avatar slot.

Thanks for the posting SS. It's nice to know that we will be looking at our new faces soon :-)

Oh, oh, oh, I'm getting a face lift. Woohoo, and thanks, and stuff :-D

Hahahaha, would you believe I can't find a face I would like. LOL. I have been puzzling on a new avatar for ages now but still haven't come up with any ideas for what I think Lolita looks like. And before anyone suggests it, I don't think Lolita looks anything like ME!!

Oh cool! i'm so glad to know that i'll see some old friends with new faces soon!
Lolita, why don't you google photos of people in the 30's or some celebrities you know? Here's two links to get you kick started. Hope this helps.
