WHAT'S THIS?

Possibly the largest original collection of Bollywood actresses rendered in ASCII on the internet.

WHY'S THAT?

Because I can.

WHAT'S NEXT?

If you have a particular Bollywood Babe you'd like added to the collection, or perhaps more of any of the ones already featured here, then send me an email with your request.

WHAT'S HAPPENING?

The latest breaking news is that Aishwarya Rai is making the transition from Bollywood to Hollywood and the possibility of her first on-screen kiss. CNN has the full report here.

WHAT IS?

ASCII ART? It's an image that is made up of keyboard characters. Sometimes it's as simple as a 'email sig' or an emoticon :) But in the case of www.asciibabes.com it's a portrait of a person. There's a lot happening there, so you might have to move AWAY from the screen to be able to see the detail.

For example, you see the thumbnailed pics above this paragaph? They're eensy, weensy screenshots of ACTUAL ASCIIBABE ASCII ART! They kind of look like a grainy black & white shot, but the 'black' and shades of 'grey' are actually numbers and letters.

And that's EXACTLY what an asciibabe portrait looks like if you view it on a 21... FOOT monitor, and view it from the other side of the road. Better yet, try and get a clear line of sight from three blocks over. THEN you'll get to see ASCII Art just as if you're looking at a grayscale continuous tone photo.
