Neon glasses avatars?

[LOLseph Stalin]

I see they have come back. I remember them being all the rage years ago on this site. Now I just need one of Stalin to match my username. Where do I find one?

[Rusty Shackleford]

someone makes them, i forget who. i want to say bcbm or Fawkes. but im probably wrong.

[DDR]

I remember that the guy who used to make it had a Steve Buschemi or someone similar as avatar in those years, dunno if s/he still stays with us. Also there's a theread somewhere, plastic and graphic arts probably, with all the nenon avatars and instructions to make yours, Viva la Neon IIRC.

This is just like that time when the 80's was really unfashionable for a few decades afterwards but then really fashionable again...

From a quick search I dug up two old threads on the kanye glasses meme.

This one was a request thread where several images still work. See if the one you want is there.

And another showing how to do it.

Most of this was made by a user Arizona Bay. Don't bother him with this, since he's not that active (much less interested) in the community. Even in those threads three years ago he says he is done with them.

Coincidentally the Kanye shades this takes inspiration from was itself bringing back a fad from the 80s.

[LOLseph Stalin]

I looked through the entire thread and I didn't see a Stalin. I thought I saw a Stalin one ages ago too. I don't have any photo editing programs on my computer either.

[Art Vandelay]

l'Enferme could make you one if you ask nicely.

[Orange Juche]

I hope this is okay?

[Il Medico]

Ah, I remember this. It's was pretty great back in the day. It's too bad AB never finished Shelly for AYM or Byron for me, I would have rocked that shit forever. As it is I feel compelled by the nostalgia alone to bring back neon Tennant for a bit.

[LOLseph Stalin]

This is great. Thanks.

[Kalinin's Facial Hair]

Stalin is cool as shit with these glasses. Slava! :tt2:

a thread full of them!

[LOLseph Stalin]

I looked in there, PU. That's why Marxist Mcfly made me one.

[Sasha]

that shit is so yesterday :D

[Sasha]

if anyone is bored enough they should make a neon green-purple v-bulletin skin for the forum...
if its worth doing, its worth overdoing right?

[hatzel]

If I were super-cool I'd do a neon-glasses Topcat to temporarily replace my blackout eye-strip thingy Topcat. But I'm not super-cool, so I won't be doing that...

[Red Commissar]

Ah fuck I didn't think it'd get re-adopted this fast

I need a Hoxha.

[Kalinin's Facial Hair]

I need a Hoxha.

I always thought I'd see Ismail say that.

[Orange Juche]

I need a Hoxha.

:lol:

[Anglo-Saxon Philistine]

In the name of uniformity, adherence to the doctrine of the secret Kautskyite cabal, and the development of socialism in one country, can I get a Zhdanov?

[LOLseph Stalin]

I need a Hoxha.

There's a couple Hoxha ones in the original thread.

[hatzel]

I need a Hoxha.

I'm holding out for a Hoxha 'til the morning light.
He's gotta be sure and it's gotta be soon
and he's gotta be larger than life!

...what, nobody had mentioned the 80's in a while...

Soviet politician Andrei Zhdanov.

[DDR]

For the sake of old times, can someone dig up or make one of Ulrike Meinhof? It would be much appreciated. I'm pretty sure it should be somewhere in those threads, but I'm really lazy today.

[Anglo-Saxon Philistine]

Soviet politician Andrei Zhdanov.

Thank you, comrade. Beware of formalism!

I don't think Ulrike Meinhof was ever actually made.

[Orange Juche]

I don't think Ulrike Meinhof was ever actually made.

I don't have time at the moment, but if next time I come on one isn't found/made by someone else, I'll make it.

Thank you very much :D

I'm warning you. Admins should purge them all before the plague is global and unstoppable.

Before? It already is! Muhahah

Thank you very much :D

No problem :lol:

Hey McFly. If you're taking over AB's mantel and taking request do you think you could do a Byron for me? Preferably with this picture:
http://static.guim.co.uk/sys-images/Guardian/Pix/pictures/2013/2/27/1361986527239/Lord-Byron-006.jpg

[bad ideas actualised by alcohol]

So, credit where credit is due, I was the third person to have a neon-avatar in this second wave of the neon-fad.

So like I had it before all you mainstream kiddos had one by McFly and stuff.

Also L'enferme (Also known as Lenny, Lennard, idiot) made mine, so yeah go spam him with requests or something.

[l'Enfermé]

Dammit I made all the neon avatars for orthodox marxists only :(
