hey guys! i was just wondering.. what would happens if you get a tan ( at a tanning salon ) and died your hair?  would it be a bad thing??

[ashleymatt720]

@TheCitygurl96 We can dye our hair with no problem, and some people do dye theirs often. We are physically unable to tan because we do not have pigment in our skin to tan. However, some people use self tanner or get a spray tan, which works for the people that want a tan look!

Is your hair as thick as non-albinism people? It looks thinner but maybe it's just the lack of pigmentation..

[ashleymatt720]

@Varcovis My hair is actually rather thick! I just straightened it that day and half of it is pulled back.

[ashleymatt720]

@AmeliaKelsey it's not a stupid question! We can dye our hair and some people do! Matt used to dye his hair, actually!

My best friend is albino.

His eyes are AMAZING.

They are very very transparent, meaning always changing from purple to red.

You can see the blood in the iris, and it's so cool!

I think it's kick ass but how did you guys meet. There can't be many of you, so is true that your personalities are the same.

[LilDeadKitty]

is it possible to have lilac/violet eyes without having albinism, because my eyes are like a silver-green and lilac colour, but the lilac only shows in bright lights, and i'm not sure if i have albinism or not?

[AyoItsThatKid]

you guys are a good couple, Keep it up Matt

[moartrollz4dinner]

Not to sound weird, but, I love your hair, it's soo different from all my friend's dark brown hair and dark brown eye, they are PALE as EVER but it's because we live in the pacific northwest. But I have crazy green-yellow eyes and grey-ish skin with stark burgundy hair (natural btw)

[maymoo88]

[dogzluvr13]

All I can think is you guys are people I'd love to hang out with. Like you're so nice and really cute together. I've never seen such a beautiful couple! :)
