Lightbulb Question about birthday self portrait
Ever you did a thought to try self portrait picture on your birthday with a hat, balloon and other birthday decorations on your profile picture on social networking websites?

+1 ! Even my profile image isn't me but red hot steel being forged (I'm also a blacksmith). I can't think of any good reason I'd suffer through the humiliation of donning "birthday" garb let alone having a picture taken of it.

Looking like a fool is very subjective. I think getting decked out over the top in birthday stuff and taking a picture for your profile picture would be an amazing profile picture. The thing is though you'll have to go big. Like really big. The more colourful, vibrant, and over the top it is the more effect it would have.

Try and get the equivalent of eating a piece of overly sugary store bought birthday cake.
