This used to be my "blonde" avatar...ummm...but that's not me...

EDIT: Site administrators are currently performing maintenance on user pictures and other files on LiveJournal (http://www.livejournal.com/community/lj_maintenance/102412.html), and this is causing the problem you are experiencing. Support volunteers are unable to provide an ETA on when this maintenance will be completed, but you may wish to continue checking lj_maintenance for updates. Thank you for your understanding.

This seems to be happening to a LOT of people. Weird...
