The Minneapolis folks behind Yearbook Yourself are at it again, this time on Facebook. The new app, Wild It Up, allows Facebook users to “wild up” their Facebook photos by adding realistic-looking elements such as fashion accessories, animals and tattoos. See the accompanying photo of yours truly.  (And please accept my apologies for the accompanying photo of yours truly.)

Wild It Up was created by Colle+McVoy for Caribou Coffee. That’s why there’s a bunch of Caribou drinks and snacks to add to your photos, too. The app seamlessly integrates with your Facebook photo galleries to make the process easy. As with other Facebook apps, you can share the often-funny results of your wild-upped photos in your updates, as well as add them to your profile. Print out your photo as a coupon and take it to a Caribou store, and you’ll get a free Wild Cooler drink (for a limited time). See that? It pays to make fun of yourself.

By the way, Colle+McVoy celebrated its recent Webby award for Yearbook Yourself this week with a rooftop party at its downtown office. The new edition of Yearbook Yourself is supposed to be up by the end of this month, in time for back-to-school promotions. Until then, you can go wild on Facebook.
