Naked "Barbie" Doll - What Images are you Related To?

Reblogger Jenny Kotulak

Maureen's post below really brings the point home how important it is to "Google"  yourself to see what is being said about you in cyberspace, or in this case what images are related to your name.

I was amazed to see how many photos associated with me are from Active Rain posts where I have made comments on other's posts or from members who have commented on my posts.  Active Rain is just as much a powerful presence on Google Images as it is on their web pages.

What  "Google Images" are you Related To?

What room is that?

I am related by a comment to a naked "Barbie" Doll image on Google.  And you?  Google your name, then look at the link for images. What images are you related to?  Anything funny?  Share a link to the images related to your name...  if you want (remember there are no follow tags in the comments.)   Or describe a funny image that matches your name. Don't be tempted to snatch an image* that is not yours.  It is probably not licensed for you to use it. You can contact the owner and get the owners permission to use the photo.

When I see Charles post "If you are squeamish about seeing Barbie naked----skip right on by to the next post!"  I think about a Barbie Doll that I vaguely remember seeing somewhere.Maureen McCabe anonymous avatar from Twitter

Google Images search for Maureen McCabe

My name is fairly common there is an artist, a nun, a financial planner and more.... Lots of the Google images when I (you?)  Google my name are graphs from market reports. Westerville Ohio homes for sale graph Or mug shots of me, that I have used as avatars.  Houses.  There are photos from things I have Re-Blogged on ActiveRain.

As I look at the Google Image Search (for my name)  a grizzly photo of a naked Barbie Doll with her legs chewed off is prominant.

I wanted to believe the Naked Barbie Doll with the legs chewed off is part of artist Maureen McCabe's legacy... she does really interesting art... but not icky art...   or could the religious Maureen McCabe be linked to that poor lost soul with no clothes or legs... maybe with a cautionary tale about...  dogs?  Barbie Dolls? Nudity?  Nope. Naked Barbie with her legs chewed off is related to me.  I commented on the Dayton Ohio real estate blog of Teri Lussier... long ago, Dog Toy Barbie.  Teri photographed the grizzly scene during the showing of a vacant home.

Charles Buell has run into more than one "Barbie" in home inspections. 

Where is naked Barbie’s head? A little pop quiz for you today.

If you are squeamish about seeing Barbie naked----skip right on by to the next post!

I see some of the grizzly home inspection images Charles shares on ActiveRain  on the Charles Buell Image Search.  The snake skeleton... Charles picture of a rat skeleton is the one that disturbs me the most.  Seeing the animal alive would scare me worse.

Google Images search for Charles Buell

Images you are related to*

Remember Google Images is just a search of images for a search term, my name, Charles name, YOUR name.  Google images are not free for the taking, they don't own the images.  Displaying images does not mean a change in ownership or licensing.  I can not use Teri's 'Dog Toy Barbie'  photograph without permission from her...

What  "Google Images" are you Related To?

In Google Image search if you click on the link it takes you to the website.  Poor Naked No Knees Barbie photo takes me to Teri's blog post and my comment. The market reports take me to ActiveRain or my Outside blogs.   I do not recognize the room above but it takes me to my website.

Jenny, thank you for re-blogging.  I missed Maureen's original post, but this is important.  The web is still a little "wild west" kind of place, with plenty of opportunities for any of us to be confused with others, or for comments - good or bad - to be available worldwide that we may not know of.  It's also fun just to check every once in a while ...

Thanks for the Re-Blog.

You know I think more of my ActiveRain stuff is there or up high on Google Images than my WordPress blog stuff but the Barbie Doll is Teri's WP blog and I am not that concerned with the grizzly image, not to the point that I regret the comment.  For the longest time I would see it though and it seemed familiar but I hoped it was another Maureen McCabe. 

I am really puzzled why none of my Posterous photos show.

Jenny, that's kind of funny.  I googled my name and found another person with the same name on Facebook who lives in California.  Most pics I recognize as mine, but there are also some "Daisy Dukes"...

Jenny, there seem to be lots of me out there.  And some of the stuff out there (about me) I wish wasn't.  Anyway, one cool thing I found while poking around on Maureen's post was a photo of a white, mold covered spider.  I've seen them before and didn't know what the reason was...learned something new.

delayed response... the white mold covered spider is Charles Buell isn't it?  He just used it again.  I don't remember Re-Blogging anything of Charles with his creepy spider.  Is it there because of my links to Charles about naked Barbie dolls? 

I will have to look. 

I have not looked at Google Images for awhile. I wonder if my Posterous photos are showing.  I think I started tagging them after I wrote about Teri's naked Barbie image showing up for me in Google Images.
