Number 1.

Both are solid. But, the serious one is a little blurry. I would go with the red t-shirt. And, I'd like to get you on my casting couch sometime. You're gonna be a star, kid!

Um, so that's one vote for each? Awesome.

Top one. It seems to capture a bit of your personality better than the other.

I like the red one only because the other one is a bit blurry. But then again, it kinda looks like the airbrushing job models pics get b4 publication...looks almost professional.

The red one!

bottom one

oooh, or use one of halle berry. that'd be funny.

Bottom one. I never liked that top set -- it doesn't look like you, enough.

Top one. Or this one.

Heeeey, That's the Halle Berry shot I was talking about!

I suggest you get some more professional photos taken for future use.

Bottom - your smile is phenomenal.

Bottom. I like the liveliness of it.

I like your bottom
I like your top!

Sounds like sexual harrassment to me!

Oh the reasoning I like the top one.

Bottom one is a great picture, you look lively, true, but it looks like your just out partyin. Figure the top one is a more "professional" looking picture.

First one. More "Headshotty."

My vote is for the first one.

Red. I understand Joe's "out partying" comment, but my guess is the picture will be cropped anyway.

Suggestion: Send both, stating your preference (or the consensus you get here) but tell the promoters to choose the one that works best with their promotional design. (From the description on the Tix site, I'd guess that will turn out to be the "red" as well...)

Congrats and knock 'em dead!

Top one is more flattering but less headshot-y. For either one you want to crop the pictures better so that there is less arm/torso/background. If you can make the pic b/w without it becoming muddy, I recommend it.

(FWIW, I just added a headshot to my MySpace pics.)

The red one makes you look easy. But maybe you want to go with that sort of vibe for a comedy show?

Top one. The black top will give you more theater-angst street cred.

The red shirt one!

I'd go with the top one.
The black sweater suggests you've studied at the Actors' Studio---or perhaps more appropriately for a comedy show, at Second City.
But it also says, "I read Milton Friedman, Samuel Huntington, Mark Steyn, and T.S. Eliot."

Even if you don't read Eliot, the sweater says you do.

I prefer blue eyes over red, so I pick the top one.

i say the top one as it looks more professional. although if you photoshopped the bottom one, maybe whited out the people in the background, that would definitely work, too.

The bottom one.
You look deceptively "freshman-year-inexperienced" there...I'll go for the dramatic effect. Imagine the audience's collective face once you start talking!

See you Monday, daRlink.

Hey blog-grandmother (wow, I just figured that out!), I like the top one better. Maybe you can sharpen it a little bit with a photo editing program?

Even if you don't read Eliot, the sweater says you do.

So, if Karol wore no sweater at all, what would be on her reading list, hmmm?

"Even if you don't read Eliot, the sweater says you do."

*********
Jay, my man, you make an excellent point.
And if Karol were wearing 'no sweater at all,' I'd say it was because she was reading my mind !

OK, I made it easier for you. I created a more "headshotty" looking photo from the top pic.

Top one.

I like the top one better.

I can't believe this is the thread that gets the buckets of comments. That says something about your readers; I'm not sure what (well, except in the case of badboy and Ren)

bottom one.

Joe wins!

Since there wasn't a clear winner one way or the other, I sent them both and am going to let them decide. But thanks for all the input. I have the best commenters in the world.

I think you are mentioned in a Craigslist missed connection for New York today.

???

I don't know how to look for that, more information please?

For whatever it's worth now, I like the second picture, as the first one is blurry. And I agree with commenter who suggested you crop out the background.

Both pictures are good, but the top one seems a little blurry and less 'starry'. I wuss out and chose option 3: a picture with a quizzical smile.

This is your lucky day, bad boy. Since Karol needs help taking the lids off all the jars in her apt., she just may need help taking off her sweater, too. ;-)

The first one, Boo.

#2 is way hot. Go with that.

I prefer 2
