    Are we allowed to request new categories/or suggest people for them? Such as...

    Category: The All-Purpose Male Badass, 30 - 45 Years Division
    Common Choice: Gerard Butler
    Suggested Choice: Thomas Jane, Vin Diesel, Oded Fehr, Jason Statham, Chow Yun-Fat, Eric Bana, Wesley Snipes, Ken Watanabe, Dwayne Johnson, (youngish) Harrison Ford, Peter Mensah, Temura Morrison, Michael Biehn, Peter Mensah, Zinedine Zidane (heh).

    Category: The Token Asian Guy
    Common Choice: Takeshi Kaneshiro, Gackt
    Suggested Choice: Johnny Tri Nguyen, (young) Russel Wong, Hidetoshi Nakata, Xiaoming Huang, Shawn Carlin, Ronnie Woo, Shido Nakamura.

    Obviously all these suggestions are exactly that, so I won't cry myself to sleep if they're shot down. Mostly I ask this because I'm sick TO DEATH of only seeing Gerard freakin' Butler as the only PB for the first sort of character. And equally sick of seeing androgynous J/K/C-popper pretty boys with Pat Benetar's haircut if there's an Asian dude hanging around. <_< >_>

    ETA: Struck that out because I'm a jeenyus and realized that none of those are new categories; or rather, folks have suggested the above categories. Haha. But suggestions and reasoning still stands. <_< >_>

    Category: The Dark, Brooding, Handsome Guy
    Suggested Choice: Rufus Sewell

    Depending on what pictures you use, he can be a PB for characters aged from mid-20's to early-40's. Not a lot of people know about him, apparently, but he's been in quite a few big movies, usually as the villain. He's even done period pieces.

    Ohmygawd, thank you, PainLanguage! I like a black man with some nice hair and for some reason I have a hard time finding any other than the few you see floating around. <3 I've used Lee Thompson Young but the others are all new to me. Plus, you turned me onto a new musical artist with Bluey Robinson. Beautiful! Thanks again!

    As for being on topic, not sure if anybody's said this yet but I'm tired of always seeing that creepy Lily Cole chick as The Redhead. I'd love to see more Felicia Day and Alyson Hannigan.

    No problem! LOL. I'm glad I could help. I'm just feeling like, "You know..there's more than guys with closecuts and skin fades." If you like Bluey Robinson, I think you might also like Steph Jones

    For dark, brooding, angsty dudes (OR The Music Man, OR The Male Badass whatever) I like to use Ville Valo, Depending on the picture it could be a teenager or an older man. And also for that category Avan Jogia, As a teenager.
    And I know he's probably another one of those *generic emo band* dudes, but I have never seen anyone use
    Category: The Music man Brendon Urie... except once.
    Oh, and
    The Redhead: Molly Quinn... for a really weird color red try Ariana Grande
    The Brunette: Olysa Rulin

    And I'm sure there are many more!

    Smart/Quirky teen- Lisa Origliasso

    Edgy 'scene' kid- Jess Origliasso

    I love The Veronicas and they're never really used as playbys and I think they should, Lisa is really cute and pretty and I use her all the time, and Jess is kinda more punk rock edgy look and I just think these two should be used more!

    Category: The Black Guy
    Common Choice: Will Smith
    Suggested Choice: Nate Gill.

    He's so gorgeous,, boy makes a perfect Blaise Zabini.

    Category: The Black Girl
    Common Choice: --
    Suggested Choice: Chanel Iman, Rosario Dawson.

    While she's a Victoria Secret model, I don't see her used often.. then again, you don't exactly see colored characters much anyways lol. Rosario is beautiful too.

    Category: Cute but Smart, teenager
    Common Choice: Zooey Deschanel, Ellen Page
    Suggested Choice: Carey Mulligan, Kristen Bell, Emma Watson.

    Zooey is way overused, but she's so beige. Ellen Page is overused too. These chicks are a little more interesting and less used.

    Category: Awkward Female/Potential Psycho-Killer?
    Common Choice: ehm..
    Suggested Choice: Lisa Cant

    I CONSTANTLY wish I'd see someone using her. I was talking to a friend of mine about her and she said she could "never use her because there's something not right about her". And that's exactly why I love Lisa. Her eyes are just so huge and doll like that she could be used to represent a character that's not quiiite all there pretty easily. That, and she looks like a slightly distorted Alexis Bledel, so that could be a draw for someone?
