She hasn't had a baby if thats what you're implying. Have you never sat down then stood up to find you have crease marks on your stomach? I know I have & I'm not exactly fat - I like to keep in shape but I still get them...

Yeah I have those all the time. It's because mostly I sit a bit bent forward, especially when I'm at the PC. I dont really have fat either, but it still sucks having creases like that (red stripes, right?)
I really should do sit-ups just so I wont have those creases anymore (they'd be camouflaged by the shadow of the six-pack... or in my case, 36-pack (even my six-pack has six-packs...)

I'm not so sure about them being covered by the shadow of a six-pack (or a 36-pack!). I like to keep pretty trim & I have a six-pack but I still get creases, like you say after sitting at the PC. I get a couple of red stripes too.

Anyway, back on topic - Nicole from PCD is sooooooo fine!

Well, mine's changed back from the Ikaruga ones to Rinoa again

. I did actually use that pic of Homer that LD posted a little while ago as well

But if your desktops are of that calibre, feel free to keep on posting

Sorry to disappoint those few of us wanting more pics of Nicole from PCD but I've been watching way too much ER recently and Parminder Nagra is just sooooo hot!

So I'm back to this wallpaper I had a while ago:

Another 100 Internet Points to anyone who can tell what album I was listening to at the time of the screenshot

On a side note, the gentleman who created the concept for the game has apparently worked with Hayao Miyazaki on art exhibitions.

IM did you check out the Vodafone TBA show on late night C4 recently? It had the Pussycat Dolls at a horse race of all places.

It mixed in interviews with a show. The program was pretty good but really when you look at some of the PCDs they aren't that attractive at all.

Girls Aloud are much more naturally attractive.

No I missed that show. I'm not at all bothered about any of the other Pussycat Dolls, I just think Nicole is soooooooo pretty & she's got the most amazing body I have ever seen.

To me, Nicole is much more attractive than any of Girls Aloud.

I take it that's an Active Desktop thing you've got there, Aivansama?

Oh, and Cheryl Tweedy is rather pretty from Girls Aloud. Maybe after a closer one-to-one with her and Nicole I'd be able to make up my mind between them...

That's a brilliant desktop, Sama. Where did you get it? does the calender work? I love good vector art.

It's merely a hacked uxtheme.dll, which enables Visual Style Support on Windows XP. The visual style I use mimics OS X and is named "SuperAqua".

You can use program called UXTheme Multi-Patcher to hack the uxtheme.dll (Google should find it). Here are some instructions: http://cadmus.deviantart.com/journal/2419017/

In addition to that I use some big icons on desktop (ripped from Mac) and Konfabulator for widgets (the scrolling news feed and calendar). The newest version of Konfabulator is actually called Yahoo Widgets, but I haven't bothered to update it.

One site to download visual styles from is: http://themes.belchfire.net/themes_category-1.html

edit: If you decide to hack your uxtheme.dll (using whatever means), remember to backup the original first, just in case!!

Yeah, the calendar works... it's just a Konfabulator widget (http://widgets.yahoo.com/). The background image is taken from a visual style pack called splitfire (http://www.customize.org/details/30340).

I'm not using it as a background, but I thought this was a great image. You English-types should especially appreciate it.
