1. Yup

The picture on the left was the cover of a National Geographic in the 80's about Afghanistan.

4. The picture on the right is the same woman, 17 years later

Her name is Sharbat Gula, and she is an Afghan.

2. My grandparents bought me a subscription to

National Geographic when I was seven and they continued it until I was 16, so I had every single issue.

When that one came in the mail, I remember staring at her picture for the longest time. When I was grounded to my room, I'd stare at her and wonder what her life was like and how different it was from mine.

So yeah, I definitely remember her.

5. But still

she has some of the most hauntingly beautiful eyes I've ever seen.

8. Hazel eyes are indeed expressive.

I hated mine when I was little. I wanted blue like all the other little girls.

Now I love them. They change colors and everything.

That is still such a haunting photo. And hard to know how difficult her life has been all these years.

9. She has three daughters of her own now

and see my link at the bottom response.

11. Hazel

eyes here too.
Green-Brown and Gold. I can only get the Gold by wearing maroon, I look like death in maroon.
Do the colours you wear effect your eyes/
My husband swears you should run if mine are really green. Mood get yours too?

12. You know....I need to ask my husband that.

No one's ever told me when I'm mad or happy that they're especially a certain color, but I think they probably are.

I usually stick with greens, teals, blues. I look dead when I wear gray or orange, so I avoid those. I look gorgeous in sage green, (if I do say so myself!) :-)

But I have noticed that some days they're very green, and others more gold. And I have the cool ring around them too. They're just like my mother's, only mine are usually more gold, and hers are usually more green.

13. Keep

wearing that sage and do your hazel eyed peeps proud (I've always wanted a chance to us the word "Peeps", thanks for the opportunity)
Got to pick up the kid.
Have a great Monday Ms. FSC

14. look at the pic on the left

in which she's wearing maroon.

that color really does accentuate her eyes.

15. It's true--

but I prefer a very deep cherry red to maroon. It does the trick just as well. :D

6. I read the catchup article a couple of years a go

She has had a very hard life. Her family have been refugees in Pakistan for a majority of that time.

I had to chuckle though, because she said she remembered she had that expression on her face because she was irritated that her scarf was so threadbare. Who among us doesn't have a little vanity?

National Gegraphic is helping her family, I believe.
