How do I get my avatar to show on my profile instead of this guys shadow profile?

This shadow of a guys profile is giving me a problem. First of all I'm a girl and with deni_havasu being my name most would naturally assume I was a guy, but I'm not. How can I get my avatar to show up instead. I'd even settle for a chick shadow profile.
