Online video personality, Amandarama, tries to switch her blong upbeat style and become emo, you know, cause the kids like it these days. She goes through a metamorphosis and uses Pollsb’s Are you emo wizard to check if she’s emo or not.

Here’s the shocking video footage: Amandarama’s Am I emo.

Are you emo? Check yourself now.

By now, if you’ve been using Pollsb, you’re probably aware of the magic of the “Am I” pages: a quick way to ask a question about yourself without having to type anything: just insert a picture and go. At the office, we’ve got loads of ideas on future “Am I” pages, and are planning to launch a new one every week.

Our first new “Am I” page for 2009 is Is my breakfast healthy? in which we invite you to snap a quick picture of your breakfast, upload it, and let people tell you whether you’re a health nut, or cruising down the highway to strokeville. Try out breakfast test out, then go vote on other people’s breakfasts, and if you have a great idea for an “Am I” page, leave a comment on this post, and let us know. We just might use it.

Hi everyone!

We’re collaborating with the #1 Vanessa Hudgens fansite, vanessa-hudgens.com, to give you five free copies of Baby V’s new album, Identified.

All you have to do to win is logon to Pollsb and post questions about Vanessa, her music and acting career, her relationship with Zac Efron and her latest appearance on High School Musical 3. The 5 users who post the polls with the most votes, will win a copy of V’s CD.

For those of you who don’t know Baby V, here’s the gist:

Vanessa Hudgens is an actress and a singer, who attained fame by starring in the Disney Channel hit High School Musical. Dating her co-star beau, Zac Efron. After releasing her debut album, V, the 20 year old actress became one of the most famous Disney stars to date.

So what are you guys waiting for? Create a poll, send it to your friends, link to it on facebook and MySpace, get your grandma to vote for you, and remember:  the 5 polls with the most votes win.

Good luck!

We’ve had a wave of “am I emo” polls here on Polls Boutique lately. It started with a few users posting their pictures and asking “am I emo?” and turned into a full blitz of other users joining the trend and asking about their emoness (some, obviously not emo).

But that was just the beginning.

Soon enough, pollsb users felt they needed a clarification on what emo exactly is. Was Edward Scissorhands emo? and how about Siouxsie and the Banshees? Were they emo? asked pollsb user Bmccue7.

“What the heck is emo anyway?” asked Officeshrew and received a link to the wikipedia page on emo:

“a style of hardcore punk which describes several variations of music with common roots…Starting in the mid-1990s, the term emo began to refer to the indie scene that followed the influences of Fugazi, which itself was an offshoot of the first wave of emo… As the remaining indie emo bands entered the mainstream, newer bands began to emulate the mainstream style. As a result, the term “emo” became a vaguely defined identifier rather than a specific genre of music.”

And on emo fashion:

“Emo is also often associated with a certain fashion. The term “emo” is sometimes stereotyped with tight jeans on males and females alike, long fringe (bangs) brushed to one side of the face or over one or both eyes, dyed black, straight hair, tight t-shirts (sometimes short sleeved) which often bear the names of emo bands (or other designer shirts), studded belts, belt buckles, canvas sneakers or skate shoes or other black shoes (often old and beaten up) and thick, black horn-rimmed glasses.”

But emo is so much more than a music genre. And the people at pollsb wanted to explore the boundaries of the term. Was Adolf Hitler emo? asked Splotzie humorously posting a photoshopped photo of Hitler as an emo kid.

Am I emo? asked Bearden829 with an ‘emofied’ version of her buddy icon pic. What about cats? Can cats be emo? asked someone. And how about this dog? It looks pretty emo. Which of my cars is emo? asked car model enthusiast Bushlightfever.

Raging emo debates started on every one of those polls.Everyone told Bmccue7 he’s definitely more of a hippie than an emo, and almost everyone told Ultranerd he was more of a wannabe emo than a real one. Edward Scissorhands was definitely emo, everyone agreed, but Siouxsie wasn’t, since emo didn’t exist back then.

Now we can’t wait for someone to post the ultimate poll, mashing two of pollsb’s main obsessions into one:

Are the Jonas Brothers emo?

Post the poll, and you will certainly be linked from here.

Help us decide on this crucial matter. Vote on the poll (and check out our brand new offices!)

Here’s a great way to use photo polls: going to a party and not sure about that new dress? Wanna cut your hair but not sure if it’ll go well with the ladies? Need instant, non-biased answers to help you decide if you should start working on a weight loss program? Photo polls are the tool for you.

In just 5 seconds you can post a “how do I look?” poll on polls boutique and enjoy quick answers from people all over the world. Need your friends’ opinion on the matter? send the poll to your friends. Post the poll on your blog, or website.

We put polls Boutique on the iphone and the experience is fantastic. It was so fun voting on polls using the iphone, we had to make a little video out of it:

A friend sent us this picture of polls boutique’s sticker on one of those Village Voice plastic newsstands in New York. Woohoo! Someone cares enough to show us some street love!

And then we had an idea: Why don’t we invite our users to send us pictures of their free polls boutique stickers? We would love to see where people stick those stickers, and would even like to post the pictures on our blog.

Wanna join in on the fun? Here’s what you do:

1. You get your free polls boutique stickers (just email your mailing address to freesticker@pollsb.com and your stickers will arrive in the mail, free of charge).

2. Stick your stickers somewhere good (but please, keep it legal and don’t deface other’s property).

3. Take a picture of the sticker, preferably with you standing in the shot and giving us a thumbs up.

4. Send the picture to us at freesticker@pollsb.com.

We’ll post your picture, clearing your path to Polls Boutique fame.

You know you can get free stickers
