ROTFL +1
I think that goes for the airbrushing too 
I'm not sure if you're referring to the paint on my legs or the softened image I use for my avatar. I used a soften filter on it to bring down the detail so I could save the avatar within Amiga.org's filesize limits, but keeping the quality high enough not to go blotty. As for the stripes on my legs, I ended up painting them onto some stockings so I can easily throw those on under the leotard without having to get my hands green every time I dress up.
Here's the original image from my avatar, unaltered apart from being scaled down from its original size, it was taken last year I think but I still look the same:

I really am sorry for anyone who is sick of seeing me by now.
