These are obviously fake blondes....

Oh, look at that! Hair (wigs) like straw. No comparison to us. Can't imagine anybody would give them a second look, can you?

I can only tell, if the middle one removes her hand ;-)It's all in the eyebrows...

[habs4ever]

I wasn't looking at their wigs...jeesh! I sure gave them a 4th and 5th look ;-)

Haha! You get points for honesty, lol.

In my father's family most everyone has dark hair, fair skin and blue eyes (mother's family were blondes). One of my aunts had that same coloring. She married a guy with brown hair and blue eyes, and 3 out of 4 of their children were carrot-top redheads! There is a recessive gene in that family for red hair. She and my Dad have a first cousin who is a carrot-top red-head, complete with freckles and all. Neither of his parents had red hair. It is interesting how that works!

However, so many people with fair coloring just aren't having children anymore. Out of my father's 6 children, there is only one grandchild. The youngest is 25 and single, so there is hope for her! The others didn't and don't want children.
