Dammit, you can't even see my eyebrows properly! But you CAN see my hairS.

Via the rockstar Calvo and faceyourmanga.com. Highly entertaining!

Also:
-I don't even own a baseball cap, but the scarf options were limited (the website lets you wrap it around your neck, but not around your head). [Update: And now, with scarf, courtesy of IQ!]

-It would be safe to say I own at least 60 pairs of earrings now, which means I've recently given up on matching them to every outfit. It's more fun now when they don't coordinate.

-I have this ridiculous smile for nearly every photo of me, because I don't know how to look serious in photographs.

-I do have a square jaw.

Update: Here's the headwrapped version, thanks to IQ's rocking photoshop skills!

Okay, go play now.

hahaha thanks, irfan!
does that mean we're going to be seeing a bald, spectacled, and goatee-d icon from your end, soon? =)

also, my photoshop skills are HIGHLY lacking.

I think you look cute with baseball cap too but of course I adore your head wraps. And I want those earrings badly :D

Your t-shirt is perfect for 14th August mela :p

o mein gott, it's almost 'chodah august' again?! i swear i'd completely forgotten, COMD! can't beliewe it.

i have a dark brown (wooden) version of these earrings, with blue thread wrapped around the bottom curve. i lowve.

it's certainly cute, but the ballcap is *definitely* a poor excuse for the magnificent headwraps you rock! :)

yaznotjaz says:

irfan,
oooh, i might just take you up on that photoshopping offer. =) re. color, try a turquoise one! and i love that i can see your flickricon and manga-icon practically side-by-side, for comparison purposes. i'm not sure mine really looks like me, but maybe i need someone else to give me a second opinion. i coulda used a lighter skin tone and a bigger nose (damn desi noses! haha)

anna,
the 'cartoon' bit made me laugh, because when i was in toronto last month, a bunch of friends and i all lined up against a brick wall and took a footoo with our hands up in typical desi hand gesture. my friend titled it on facebook as 'Exhibiting the desi handtilt of discontent,' and another friend commented with 'You are all such cartoons.' hahaha!

calvo,
i haven't worn a ballcap probably since i was about 8, so this picture totally amuses me. thanks for the idea - you've started a craze, in case you can't tell! =)

faraz,
yay! your link goes to another footoo, though, so i can't comment on it properly. =/ but how much do i lowve your hairS! and that swirly line on your thumb, too!

illusion,
thanks, buddy. as has been pointed out, i do cartoon well. ;)

irfan,
thanks for letting me know, buddy! (flickr/gmail dropped the ball on the notification. hmph.)

hashim,

also, you want my baseball cap? i was so temped to make it blue, just for you. ha!

shinday' says:

yes you did a great job..i don't know how should i put mine over here:(
i could use some help over here:S
Posted 11 months ago. ( permalink )

Ayeshaaz says:

dude.. you are far more prettier than this cartoon , but still very good job. Love the crescent and star on your shirt.

and OMYGOD.. you are wearing makeup :D

ps: I need some turquoise blue hoops.
Posted 11 months ago. ( permalink )

yaznotjaz says:

i am NOT wearing makeup, ayesha!
i'm wearing my usual dr.pepper-flavored chapstick!
and the red on my cheeks is to show how my face always looks red (like when i'm laughing, for example). bah.

illusion,
did you create your icon thingamajig already? ve vant to see! =) so on that page where you put together the icon, there should be a 'create' button or something. and then it prompts you for your info (nickname, email), you punch in your email address, and it sends the image to you. and then you just right-click and save-as from your email, and save it to your computer. and then upload to flickr! voila! hopefully that helped.

Ayeshaaz says:

hahah
just pulling your leg yasmine :)
I had actually this photo in my mind.

or you can always tell people that its "Allah Mian Ka Makeup"

shinday' says:

yasmine i am done creating that icon..i just want to put the image over here in your page just like Faraz & IQ did!
Posted 11 months ago. ( permalink )

yaznotjaz says:

ayesha,
haha great link! i'd forgotten all about that one. you have such a rockstar memory, mashaAllah. oh, and sachi thay, allah mian ne mera chehra lal hi lal bana dia. sigh.

illusion,
oh! okay. well, in that case, click 'all size' above your photo, and then copy-paste into your comment here the HTML that shows up when you clicked 'all sizes.' (it'll say, 'Copy and paste this HTML into your webpage.') and then just post your comment!

Posted 11 months ago. ( permalink )

yaznotjaz says:

illusion,
sent you a flickrmail. hope it wasn't as convoluted. =)

stjernesol,
haha thank you, i try! if i had super powers, though, i'd been an even AWESOMER cartoon!

COMD,
turquoise! yes! i have lots and lots of blue/turquoise earrings. i should take footoos for you. funny thing is, my favorite color is really red, but i get more comments on what i'm wearing when blue/turquoise is involved. 'tis 'inter'sting.

:-) i was about to ask about the lack of paggar(scarf, tho it looks more like a pagri to me!) but u explained that..
Posted 11 months ago. ( permalink )

yeah i got it & i replied to it as well..thanks;)
here's my attempt of making one..i hope you'd like it.

yaznotjaz says:

fayyaaaz!
i'm actually contemplating investing in hats. maybe in winter. there's a rocking shop here in berkeley. hats never fit on headwraps, though. =/ maybe i should buy the ones that people with dreads wear. i could fit EVERYTHING under there!

illusion,
highfiiiiiive! you look quite spiffy, buddy! glad my ridiculous, round-about directions helped. do you wear ties often? i was so templed to put a tie on my icon, even though i don't have any. someday, i will be a rockstar like zana!
Posted 11 months ago. ( permalink )

_Faraz says:

Ayesha bought a hat from this place.
Posted 11 months ago. ( permalink )

Ayeshaaz says:

oooh Gooood memory Faraz..
I bought it near the end of winter and never had a chance to wear it. Its a woolen one. I should take a pikcha' yo!

PS: Faraz, stop stalking flickr photos and come home already. Its almost 5.pm

HAHAHAHAHA! i think that is quite possibly going on my list of my favorite flickr comments ever. love you two crackstars! =)

PS: let's hang out in the city sometime, and you can wear your hat, ayesha, even in august! it's perpetually gray there. sigh.

yaznotjaz says:

dudes! here's my headwrapped version, courtesy of IQ/Irfan and his potoshopping skills!

in real life (which is different from my cartoon life), i have even more hijabs than pairs of earrings, i think. that's kinda scary, eh?

also, it cracked me up this afternoon that my Contacts page had a bunch of these manga-icon thingamajigs (i originally typed 'MANGO icon' there, which sounds yummy). see:

it's missing faraz's and illusion's and anjum's, though!

i've set mine to private as well..also i have come to realize that my 'cartoon' needs some fine tweaking as well..gota do something about the eye colors & stuff..anyhoo thanks for liking it & yes thanks to my job i have become somewhat used to of wearing ties most of the time..i also liked that hijabi series of yours:)
Posted 11 months ago. ( permalink )

yaznotjaz says:

preeti,
share it anyway! ve vant to see!

faraz,
oooh, TOPSECRET! =)

nahal,
i'm a fan of teal/turquoise colors, too! i have one turquoise headwrap i wear over and over, even though i have so many other blue-ish ones.

de que sa,
i know, this manga avatar business has taken over the world!

irfan,
careful with that bowing, yaara! maybe we should stick to the highfiving instead.

anjum,
oooh, thanks for the dooce link! then i went and discovered even more avatars, based off her comment thread. outta control! it's everywhere!

illusion,
glad you liked the hijabi one! re. tweaking yours - yeah, i keep looking at mine and thinking, 'ooh, i shoulda made this-and-this different.' vatewer, though! your eyes look spiffy. are they light brown in real life? mine are basic, boring brown, so i didn't have to think too hard about that. =)
Posted 11 months ago. ( permalink )

shinday' says:

hehe..no they're not thats why i gota do something about it:S
and also i have to to something about my complexion as well..it isn't that fair:P
geez i have to do a lot just for the sake of making it look real:(

You're and your headwrapped clones are rockin'. How'd you score the Pakistan shirt?

I'd say this manga thing is cool, but it's missing a whole lotta shade in its palette where we all fit it in. I'm not this brown and I'm not gora:

I mean, where's the option for "wheatish" people? Or better yet, the chai-colored? We are the invisible ones.

Bah.

"Chai-colored" inserted for immediate and maximum effect. Let us hope.
