I don't like avatars with WTF hats, BTK hats, OMFG, hats... etc. same for the security blanket. You can't really DO much with those items since they take up so much space, and they're so old that it's extremely overdone :
In other cases, old items like angelic halo are okay, but they don't cover a large portion of your avatar...
Also, people who have a crappy-looking avatar with VERY expensive items : AK, people who had tons of gaia gold, spent it on items that fascinated them without really thinking of the outcome, and then throwing them on altogethor in an attempt to make it look good :
I usually don't put a story with mie, just a theme and a quote relating to the theme (this upcoming week I put a quote from peter pan about how faeries are created... a little overdone, but blah... hopefully people vote for the avatar and not the qute :] )
and demonic and angelic themes : Angels and demons are the extreme mary sue's of our LIVES... It's aggravating... ._.
haha. okay 3nodding
