Having met a few bloggers lately..I was pretty surprised to find out that they were expecting to see someone that looked completely different than what I do in real life.
"Your blog is pink!" I wasn't quite sure what that meant but later found out that it gave the impression that I was a 22 year old, Betty Boop lookalike. The fact that I didn't quite look like that made me, as they put it "more serious looking".
I couldn't help but be amazed on how the colors of our blogs were actually giving away an impression of who we may or in this case may not be.
The question of the day was...so which one was I really like...was I deep down a 22 year old, Betty Boop lookalike...(pink background)...or was I a black background that presented my darker, deeper side...If I had a green background..would that have made the impression that I was older? Does loving pink mean that I have to be 22? Can't a 30 something chick like pink?
Come to think of it, does our icon give the impression that we really are those people?
True everybody loves certain blogs...who doesn't like A3sab? Is it the fact that she's a "frustrated Kuwaiti woman/Mother" and we love her stories or is it the beautiful icon that we see?
If Jazz Central feels like an older person, is it 'coz the colors of his blogs give that impression or is it the saxophone that gives it away?
Who doesn't love reading Temetwir's controversial blogs...his icon created a whole debate...and the black background definitely gave the impression that you were entering "at your own risk". If he didn't tell you his age...wouldn't you think he's definitely over 40?
In my case, I personally don't mind being thought of as a 22 year old, Betty Boop.
Afterall, everybody had a crush on her when she was around! Now, having said that..is that something only a 22 year old is aloud to say?
Oh well, who cares...I like being pink and I'm sticking to my grounds..Pink Rules!
