It's not like I have any inside information, but I am certain that it is the same woman.
It sure looks like her although the hair color is a bit different. Of course, women do change their hair colors often
She has roots (as any Freeper female would attest to) and the eyebrows look more brown than blonde to me in this picture. Looks like a dye job.
However, the facial features are virtually identical (maybe a little thinner in the color pic).
I was over my brother's house this evening, and made that same comment. Yes, the facial features in the color photo look thinner.
So if she said she never interned or worked for Kerry, it isn't true if that is a pic of her in the color photo.
I should like to see a color photo of her, a recent one of course.
