When I read your intention, I thought this was really funny. If one of my friends changed their profile picture to just their legs, I would probably laugh a lot. I think it's really interesting though, because you're right, usually profile pictures include some sort of face and even if it's not a face it's usually not a different body part. I'm curious to see what kind of response you get. I would probably think it's some sort of inside joke, or maybe you were really confident in your legs in that picture.
I think this is a really cool idea! We've all noticed that profile pictures are supposed to represent you, and your legs are certainly a part of you, but yet there is still something weird about using them as a symbol of yourself. I think to make the strongest point you should make sure the picture doesn't appear artsy at all (because I could see that happening with a picture of legs) and that you aren't wearing a particularly interesting pair of pants (because an interesting article of clothing could reveal more about your personality than you seem to want in this project).
