Very Cool!!! great mascot!! and of course, lover of Pumba!!!
I was going to pick a picture of Wendy (Peter Pan) --of which I collect--for my Avatar, but was too tempted by the Magic Mirror...this image was the one that I based my face-painting in the CMO video.
Sidenote...did you know that there are only 3 known pins of Wendy all by herself...I started collecting Wendy pins in 2005, and finished in a week!
Tink sure gets more attention...but I'm not bitter...

I am so grateful for this sweet community!
Kenny, the folks in your life are lucky to have your warmth, strength and kindness. My thoughts are with you and those enduring such a difficult time.
A story I love has a line that always comforts me when thinking of my own loved ones who have passed on -
"In one of the stars I shall be living. In one of them I shall be laughing. And so it will be as if all the stars were laughing when you look at the sky at night." (From The Little Prince, by Antoine de Saint-Exupery)

I sure hope that Disney/CB hasn't put the old kibosh on the 20! I was enjoying getting to know them.
I will say this. I won't vote for anyone that signs up for message boards after learn they made the 10 and the "Vote for me!" stage begins.
EDIT: I WAS UPSET WHEN I FELT THAT THE FINALISTS ARE PROBABLY BEING CENSURED FROM THE BOARDS. I WELCOME ANYONE TO JOIN ANY WEB COMMUNITY, BUT PLEASE BE THOUGHTFUL AND STAY AROUND AND BECOME OUR FRIENDS!!!

I agree with you and said basically the same thing early on this thread -- and lots of folks didn't agree with me!
Oh, well! To each their own!
I just like to vote for someone I know -- not just a video!
