I usually have a cardinal rule about not using my photo as my profile image or even associated with an on-line profile. Vox is the first time I broke that rule, and to be fair, it was in large part due to the smallness of the audience. But it is also because I am (reluctantly) growing more use to having my photo show up on line via flickr, etc. My defenses have been weakened...

And here lies the problem. I made a horrible mistake. I posted photos of myself to my myspace page. Now mind you, I didn't make the mistake of making either of those two photos as my profile photo... but the damage is done, none the less.

In my defense, I found a friend of mine from england and didn't want him to see a bunch of vinyl toys and not make the connection to my name... blah, blah, blah. Still, dumb.

Within sort order I received a slue of messages and/or invites. (note: I have 17 [total] friends on myspace... this is not a service I utilize) Most were fairly innocuous friend requests (or at least I chose to receive them that way) but one was a blatant chat up and one was a direct link to this:

"Top Myspace girls looking there best in lingerie, Sexy clothes, and top designer clothes! Win $100 a day and enjoy on-line dating meet your perfect match today."

Yucky! So perhaps this little rule of mine will be followed more closely from now on. In the mean time I'm going to go find some lingerie, Sexy clothes, and top designer clothes to look hott in...
