Hehe.. no =) it's a good guess, but if i just told you now, you wouldnt believe me...
so i probably need to upload some pictures or something
You see..
Parts of my family lived in America several generations ago.
My great great grandfather always wore a Top-Hat, on every picture, in every written story about him,
whether he was outside or indoors, always a Top Hat...
Just now i was going through some old cabinet-cards my ant gave me some years back,
and... in one of the picture there is a shot of him without the Top Hat!!!

Hehe =).. no, ...Don't tell me that he had grown a second head on top of the first one!!!
but it turns out he was an Andorian... i was a little shocked
So I’m at O’Hare and I see two teenagers walking a dog...which poops on the floor.

The first Andorian ever to land on Earth!! This beats T'Pol's ancestor by about 50 years!!!

Yeah its crazy!...
Yeah its crazy!...
Did he really have "Andorian" hair or was that added to the picture later? It looks like it could have been painted over.

But if you use a magnifying glass, maybe you'll see if it was added later or if it's part of the (initial) picture.
I could go for an ice-cold Andorian Ale.

^ no the pictures are originals from somewhere between 1860's and 1880's i guess. They are like thick cardboard, im holding them in my hand... nothing are added
edit: the photopaper that are on the card are very thin and glossy, no traces of any "paintover"

Well, then, maybe it was a style of hair back then, like the mohawk for the punks.

Good God, I'm tired.

The irony is, they were like 2 minutes from the animal relief area...
