Ye Gods! All those flared trousers. I thought by 1978 we'd all gone punk, had short hair, gone back to drainpipes and sported safety pins in various parts of our bodies. I'm sure I did!

You in Trafalgar Square.
I should post my own, I was there in 1996. I don't like birds so it was tough to get me to pose in front of the lions.

Another good photo!Those your two bros? I can’t take credit for. My dad was a whiz with an old Box Brownie. I cropped it a bit, but the photo has aged to a sepia tone. The big kid is my brother and the smaller one is Chipper…yep, his name is Bois Jr…we are in the TN mountains at an old deer/trout fishing cabin. He’s my uncle Little Joe…real name Carl and he’s six-three. Is that Mike Morton's dad?

That’s what a blond child is often called. It might be Southern slang. They often grow up to have brown hair, which is just darkened blond hair. Tow is an old word for flax ready for spinning. Someone called my youngest that, I didn't know WTF they were saying. I thought it was "toe head".

In Swedish, a blond(e) child is called "lintott". This link says it translates to towhead. And contrary to popular belief, not all Scandinavian kids are.

I think the largest concentration of towheaded youngins’ are of North Germanic coast origin, just South of Scandinavia. Russians and Poles have a lot of towheads too.

Most Scandinavian children are probably blond(e) if you look at a young enough age. I was dirty blond until six or seven (I think) when it turned light brown and it has been ever since until it will turn gray or fall off. Of course you need to be really fair to be called a lintott by Scandinavian standards... dirty blond is not going to do it. By the age of ten, I'd say roughly half are blond(e).

I was a towhead as a child, went dark brown by about 15. And now, with some grey hair streaked among my darker hairs, it has an overall impression of being blond again.
