I was about to say, "My, how Kitsune has changed over the years..."

Your brother's hair is surprising (I mean the texture, of course the color is by choice.) What heritage produced that, if you don't mind my asking?

Our heritage is half Cuban, half Filipino. My dad is Cuban, but he is very fair, with fine blond hair and blue eyes. My brother and I both take after my mom, with her coarse, black hair and brown eyes.

My brother's hair is coarser than mine and holds a curl pretty well.

I had a friend in high school with hair like your brother's. One day at school, he got the idea to hide a pencil in his hair. He would be talking to someone, and snap his head forward, and the pencil would come shooting out right into their chest. It was pretty funny. I loved that physics class. That teacher let us goof around a lot after the lab work was done.

Choco, I have to admit I was wondering about your racial heritage but was worried it was crass to ask. We don't have quite the same melting pot as the US and so (some of us Brits) still worry.
But it is something that fascinates me. I find the same beauty in combined accents. Like Bjork's East London accent.

The photo of the three generations of females in your family is absolutely gorgeous.

Thanks, all!

Sundae -- I always find it amusing when people ask me "where I'm from." I generally have to ask if they want the short answer or the long answer (which includes family heritage and the five cities I've lived in). I've never met anyone who was offended by being asked about their heritage, but it can be aggravating when people either assume or try to correct me. (Yes, I'm SURE I'm not from Peru. I think I'd know.)
