The general rule on about people on IRC seems to be "
Attractive,
single,
mentally stable:
choose two"
Anyway,
photoshop filters are unnecessary, you can
obscure your true appearance easily enough with
creative photography. Shoot a picture of yourself in a
mirror, with only a single candle for light. Send a picture of your
toes. Make the picture so huge that your left eye takes up the entire window (cough
Jessicapierce cough). You get the
idea. If you must
photoshop (or
gimp) it, run an
edge detect on the picture. You'll look like an
outline drawing.
