    Yes her eyebrow’s are dark and you can see her roots are dark too, more than likely she has dark hair. I used to watch Laguna Beach and I only found out years later she was Italian. Now looking at her I see a little but she doesnt appear Italian at first glance, maybe she’s half Italian

    i wonder what she would look like with dark hair?
    pretty girl IMO.

    I remember Dana Perino from Piedmont (North West). Gwen Stefani is probably from Lazio (where there is Rome), but her surname is common in many regions of the North and the Middle).

    Wow, someone’s behind on their Italian geography. o.o
    Her hair is obviously dyed.
    Are there any famous Italian-Americans with their Italian blood being northern?
    It’d be interesting to see. (:

    I totally agree with you, Athena.
