Somewhere, there's a photo of me in my mid-20's -- IE, fully adult. I had been visiting a humid climate for 6 weeks in the summer, and had chopped off all my naturally Anglo-curly hair to avoid frizz; it was very short and laid flat on my head. I visited my sis, newly graduated from Air Force Academy, when I got back. Years later, I was looking at pics from that visit and said, "Who's that guy?" Looked a little closer -- it was ME!!!

Yes indeed; a change of hair, addition or subtraction of glasses, different clothing choices can make a HUGE difference in one's overall "look". I've seen people sneer at Lois Lane for not recognizing Superman as her friend Clark -- but he would have certainly fooled me. <shrug> People change; that's the nature of the game.
