There's an current exhibit at San Francisco's Contemporary Jewish Museum called "Warhol's Jews"—ten Andy Warhol portraits of famous 20th-century Jews such as Albert Einstein, Sigmund Freud, and Franz Kafka. Space limitations prevented the inclusion of an eleventh portrait, which I present here:
More photo fun at PhotoFunia. Hat tip to SueBob, who really went to town with this. And many thanks to Joyce Benna, who took that picture of me at an Oscars party almost five years ago. It remains the only picture of myself that I've liked in my entire life. Perhaps I should wear veiled hats and bling-y earrings more often.

Ha, that is so great! Thanks for the link to PhotoFunia, and what an appropriate opportunity for you to use its "Warhol" effect!

Love it! (And, for the record, I like your sidebar photo too.)

What a great site! Thanks for the link.
PS - Both of your photos are wonderful, but you're right, you should definitely deck yourself (out) for special events.

If you like PhotoFunia you may also like Write On It (http://www.writeonit.org) which is quite similar but has different features and fake magazine covers generator :)
