Well, there was one excellent try, and it shows how looks can be deceiving. L1) African/American 2) Ukrainian 3) English/Eu mix 4) Jewish 5) Polska
I threw you all off big time, because I'm wearing a red wig, and outrageous costume! Unfortunately my corset was too large, so it had a flattening effect rather than a lifting effect. Remember, it's a Halloween photo, so looks were meant to be deceiving. I also took measurements, and was surprised that I did indeed have the highest hairline; also, my widow's peek is showing, making the wig much more convincing, after dying my hair to match the wig. I had taken my gloves off for the photo, and I felt we were a class act for Hollywood Halloween.
It was amusing, because the door man gave me a Reel of drink coupons for best costume, of course which I shared with my friends.
Dzhaklin, I see we have the same tastes in dyeing our hair red, we could be sisters! You are very pretty (not hitting on you, just observation).

This is one of my favorites, showing my face - but like the description says, I'm wearing a full set of fangs! I was in a full victorian dress a few years ago, and riding along in my friend's brand new SUV on Halloween. I can nearly speak without a lisp with the custom fangs, and I had great fun rolling down the window, hitting on guys. Unfortunately, one car full of cuties thought I was the real deal, and hit reverse, yiikes! Come on; Halloween in Hollywood, get the joke? Guess my friend's subtle makeup job on me was too good, a la 'Queen of the Damned' style.
Note: the spiderweb wings were purchased to go with the above outfit, and I just realized I never had pics of the two put together. I do have a theatrical side, and have spent too much money on costumes. You wouldn't believe how much the Emerald green with matching skirt cost!
Miranda, that would be wonderful! We are simply all gorgeous gals...no wonder the men faun over us. ;)
Bring on the Halloween pics - perhaps we'll need a separate forum, if everyone wishes to join in.
One interesting thing I've noticed, are our eyebrow similarities, Dzhaklin. I knew that the way I did my eyebrows on that first photo was overly arched with makeup, thus bring attention away from me.
I admit, this is the first time I've really paid any attention to the ethnic looks. And I reiterate, that us Polska gals are simply adorable.
Umm, well, to tell you the truth, you look more Hungarian or Southern Ukrainian than Polish.. Just from my knowledge, Hungarians usually possess darker features, (hair, eyes) than Poles, and your cheekbones and facial structure has less in common with Poles than with other Eastern European countries..
But don't really count on me to tell, just my guess.
This is my late grandfather. His family moved around Eastern Europe, so his true origins are a bit of a mystery. His last name is Ukrainian (Lemko) from SE Poland, but the family claims they worked in Ivan the Terrible's secret army and moved away from Russia. What does my grandfather look to you? The woman is his mother. I don't have any pics of his father, but relatives claim he could pass off as Stalin's twin.
