Here is a more recent picture of me. I think the last one I put up here was from like a year ago.

 

[~Dixie's_Mom~]

Everyone here is so good looking!

Lyzelle, you and Zander are both redheads!

 

[Renee750il]

It's just the picture that comes to mind. You are all petite ladies with long, straight blonde hair in my eyes. Unless your icon is of you, I just kind of think you all look alike. Like a giant Chaz army.

This is what you all look like

And I'm a redhead, so it's not even like I was thinking you all look like slightly different versions of me!

Also, everyone but Blue and Eddie are girls.

I'm (pleasantly) surprised that us redheads are so well represented here

 

[Lyzelle]

Lyzelle, you and Zander are both redheads!

I'll be honest, I've never thought of that before! But you're right!

Just give hope a chance to float up. And it will...
