Reason for your nickname and avatar:
I have a few usernames.. Adeline (name given me by my primary 6 form teacher Miss Rita..) Makiyo (Japanese name chosen by myself for its numerological meaning..) and Monroe (quite an admirer of Marilyn Monroe.. cos I have sun in Gemini and moon in Aquarius.. just like her!!)

My avatar is that of a woman dressed up as a Japanese lady.. as I have a deep admiration for Japanese feminine culture.
