I liked to pretend this same thing about Vanessa. For some reason, neither she nor Nicky strike me as glasses wearers (don't ask me why - just the way I picture the characters).

I saw Mallory as the only Pike with glasses. I also never saw Vanessa with red hair, like she has in the BSC movie. I always saw her with long, stright, medium brown hair.

It sounds like we pictured them the same. I wonder if there was something in the descriptions (maybe even hidden or implied) that made us think about them that way. How did you picture the other Pike kids? Curious to see if there are more similarities.

I guess they made it seem as if Mallory really stood out. In Hello Mallory, apparently every Pike kid has chestnut brown hair. Mallory didn't say anything about herself not being a brunette, but we all know that she had the Red Hair and Freckles.

I saw the triplets with reddish brown, straight hair, and Margo with dark brown hair that was sort of wavy. Nothing in the books made me see them that way...I just did.

You know, I don't think I ever really pictured them at all. At least not in terms of hair color. In my mind, they were sort of generic little kid bodies with irrelevant hair. Guess I need to work on my imagination.

I always pictured Nicky as a male version of Mallory with red hair, freckles and glasses. The triplets has straight dark brown hair and the rest of the girls had wavy chestnut brown hair.

I always pictured Vanessa, Margo, and Claire as very pretty. Longish wavy brown hair and dark eyes. I never pictured any of the kids as looking like Mallory.

I pictured Margo with wavy dark brown hair and dark eyes and the triplets as having straight brown hair and brown eyes with Nicky as a smaller copy of them. I pictured Claire and Vanessa with auburn/reddish wavy hair and hazel or brown eyes. I saw them all - even Mal despite her self-criticism - as cute.

In Mal & the Dream Horse Mal says that everyone in her family has straight brown hair and blue eyes. She says she's the only one with curly reddish brown hair.

For some reason I always pictured Nicky with dirty blonde hair. I picture Claire and Margo with long, wavy brown hair (like on the cover of Snowbound), and Vanessa with slightly reddish-brown hair and glasses. I never really pictured the triplets, I guess.
LOL, I like how you put that.

Does anybody else think AMM is not telling us something about Mallory's parentage? I think she was bought from an orphange or something and that's why she was often treated like a servant. Or else, like I mentioned in another thread, Mr. Pike isn't her father (maybe Mr. Rodowsky is, the redhead thing).

I pictured all the Pike kids with brown hair, except for Mallory so hmm, maybe Mal does come from another Stoneybrook male... hehehe. I pictured her looking more like Rosie Wilder with red hair and glasses than her real siblings... maybe they have the same father.

My sister is the only one in our family with red hair. The rest of us are brunette (those of us who aren't bottle blonde's of course). She got her hair color from a great-grandfather.

For some reason, I've always thought of Nicky and the triplets as (dirty)blondes, Claire with light brown/ dark blonde hair, and only Vanessa and Margo as dark haired. And then of course Mal the redhead. I'm not sure if that's even possible, so many hair colors from the same parents, but who knows?
