And what better time than the present, right?
So without further ado...
Meet Cass!
(Below the fold - you don't think I'm going to make it easy for you, do you?)
Now, now... I didn't say at what age you would meet me, did I?
I'm a year old in this picture. And while I realize it looks like one of Matthew Brady's Civil War daguerreotypes, I am not, in fact, a centenarian two-plus times over. It's badly faded because of how it was stored.
My sister found this on Saturday while hunting through a closet, and gave it to me last night when I came over for dinner (homemade lasagna - yum!).
"You should have been using product in that hair, Cass," she said after handing to me, shaking her head. "God, what am I going to do with you?"
Later, my brother looked at me, looked at the photo, then looked at me again.
"You were a good-looking child," he said. "What happened?"
As you can probably guess, there are very few swelled heads in my family. :c)
Oh, and for the record, I'm no longer as blonde as I am in this photo. I'm right on the line between very light brown and dark blonde. So for those of you so inclined <coughAprilcough>, feel free to pass along your dumb blonde jokes - if you dare. I am armed and ready with my own zingers to return fire...

Today's tune, from a band much closer to my actual generation:

You know you can change your hair colour but mere dye won't remove the blonde.
And then there are those of us who *willingly* go blonde. I would be loathe to admit that about myself, but hey, I admire your honesty. ("Honesty"means "telling the truth," btw. Apologies for using a word with more than two syllables...)
Naturally blonde and blue eyed, what can I say, except don't hate me because I am awesome
I suppose I qualify as well. Or did at one point. (Still blue-eyed; hair is debatable. At least we both still have it, though!) I notice the humility gene apparently skipped a generation in your family?
Snap! Off to sharpen my claws behind the couch... ;c)
clearly you have yet to meet my father
lol No, not yet, anyway. So you *are* humble in comparison! I stand corrected, Miss A. :c)
I saw Tegan & Sara a few years ago and they were joking about humblebragging. Here are a few examples. These are pretty funny (and unintentionally so, apparently):
