As would my blonde haired, blue eyed uncle from Sicily.
My 100% Sicilian friend has blue eyes. My paternal grandfather from Naples had red hair. I had platinum blonde hair (gone now) have blue eyes but Im only 3/4 Southern Italian. 1/4 Irish/English/scott. So my eye/hair is a legitimate mix.
I dated a Sicilian chick many years my junior who was blonde and blue eyed. She was very hot and cute, and extremely educated with multiple degrees, but got into the "clown" scene. Literally would get on stage with the big rubber nose, and it didn't work out.
I guess we're NOT all Bozos on this bus.
