READ t-shirts for Yahoo! Avatars
There are beautiful READ t-shirts available for Yahoo! avatars (see the left for Miss Sarah's non-black READ shirt). If you have a Yahoo! account (e.g. for Flickr!), then you have an avatar (or can, at any rate). You can build it to your specs--hair, eyes, clothing, accessories, etc. You can also wear special promotional or cause-oriented items, like a READ t-shirt put out by ALA.
To get yours, log in to Yahoo!
Then go to http://avatars.yahoo.com/ and select the tab marked "extras"
Click on "issues and causes"
The first t-shirt choice up right now is the "READ" t-shirt; click on it and you're good to go

Thought you'd like to know that the "Read" avatar idea grew out of the School Library 2.0 - 23 Things summer activities sponsored by the California School Library Association. See: http://2cooltools.blogspot.com/2007/06/virtual-read-t-shirts-for-librarian.html

You're looking fine in your new READ t-shirt!
It was fun introducing Yahoo! to ALA.

A couple of weeks ago I wasted an hour trying to get my Second Life avatar dressed and ready for primetime. This was waaaay easier.

Hey thanks! I've added it to my favorites.

I believe there are a couple library-themed backgrounds that would look fantastic with the READ shirt. (My avatar prefers to stand in front of the "Mexican pyramid" background though.)
