Avatar of the Week: You Decide!

This week we thought we’d try out something a little different for Avatar of the Week. Instead of selecting a winner, we thought we’d pick the usual three finalists and let AfterElton.com readers decide which one they like the most. So, without further ado, here are your very worthy candidates this week…

First up is Skinny Arbuckle.

Talk about a mishmash of pop culture references. Skinny’s moniker is of course a riff on the infamous Fatty Arbuckle. (Everybody has heard about the rape/murder scandal but a lesser known tidbit – Fatty became addicted to heroin during the height of his career and lost so much weight his movie studio made him wear a fat suit at all times.)

The other pop culture reference Skinny brings to the table is of course “Madame” of Waylon & Madame fame. At least I think that’s Madame. It could be Carol Channing.

Skinny lives in West Hollywood and among other things mentions that he is a member of the Magic Castle. I’ve been to the Magic Castle, and it’s a hoot. You have to be a card-carrying magician in order to be a member, so I’m assuming Skinny does tricks.

Our second candidate is FrankLeeMyDear.

Frank's profile is kind of light on the personal info, but judging by the picture either Frank is a true whiz at Photoshop, or he’s an actual hobbit.

Frank, if you manipulated this image in Photoshop then we would love to see a pic of what you really look like and maybe a little more info in your profile

And if you really are a hobbit? Then please write back and tell us what gay nightlife is like in the shire. (I hear the “Prancing Pony” is under new management and now they have guys dancing on the bar.)

BobbyJoe is our last candidate.

He caught my eye for his great 60’s era breakfast cereal avatar. I know the cartoon character is from a cereal box, but for the life of me I can’t remember what brand. Can anyone identify? BobbyJoe also scored big points for his recent comment to a post on the writer’s strike in which he offered a brilliant suggestion on how television networks could fill up all the empty airtime.

From his “A Modest Proposal”:

You know what doesn't really require a script? Gay porn.

Someone call ABC, NBC, CBS, the CW, and Fox! This is the moment that gay porn has been waiting for, like an ingenue understudy waiting patiently in the wings for the star to finally take a long vacation.

And, best of all, half the shows won't even have to change their titles: Dirty Sexy Money, Private Practice, Grey's Anatomy, Prison Break.

Voila! The new TV schedule practically writes itself (though you'll now have to be over 18 to subscribe to TV Guide).

This man clearly thinks outside the (cereal) box.
