we really do wear that

In the same breath that I love Barbie dolls, I also love my Yahoo avatars. I have the complete 12 models allowed, each a testament to what I love, enjoy doing, and want to become. They're the non-cost yet cool on-line equivalent of the Disney princess paper dolls.

So it is a very wonderful surprise to discover that Yahoo avatars now include Filipiniana apparel and backgrounds! What a welcome treat! And though I look so different from her, here is my Filipina avatar: set in the cobbled streets of Vigan, and suited in lavender terno gown. But like her, the image of one with the regal posture of old and the winning spirit that will never fade.
