A new addicting Chinese application (app), MyIdol, has hit the internet ? Twitter, Instagram, or Vine – with viral force. It lets me take a picture of myself, and suddenly I can pole dance (on my bucket list, sorta), sing, and even star in a mini-video.
At least my abnormal avatar can do it.?And is it ever fun!
Let’s say I wondered what a sexy 80-year-old looked like on MyIdol, well just look:
I get to choose my hairstyle, my clothes, and my music. But better yet, I can take my head off and replace it with another head ? like a dog or a monster or a politician. And that’s where things get interesting.
Washington Post’s the Fix has created life-like political MyIdols which I must admit are above my pay grade. ?After all the instructions are in Chinese – really, they are in Chinese. But for most people, the instructional video is easy enough to understand.
The beauty of MyIdol is that it lets people get creative. And Lord knows, we need more creativity in this world!
You can manipulate some of your favorite – and not so favorite- politicians in new and interesting ways with the?MyIdol app.?Here you can see Russia’s?Prime Minister Putin getting into his feminine side.
Or you could give President Obama a few much-needed minutes off like this:
And now that Hillary Clinton has announced her bid for president, here is one way she can get close to the people.
