You thought you'd heard everything re: the dress

But what do you suppose these identical twins see when they look at it? 

(I'm talking about Char and Francie, not the baby, which is the same baby in both photos)




Surely, they must see the same thing.




They have the same genes. 




The have the same eyes!




Read the email thread and find out.

By now I assume you all have seen the dress. Which do you see?

White/Gold

Blue/Black (goldish black)



I saw Blue/Black from the beginning and can't see White/Gold despite trying different lighting and squinting.
I'm wondering if we'll all see the same thing because of genetics.

Everyone sees white/gold. blue/black is a hoax ­ shame on you margaret for trying to put one over on us!

Right guys. Sure. Here's another test ­ what do you see?

Good one!

Char and I are debating over this one...some say it's "salt" and others think it looks more like "snow"

Hahaha what a bunch of comedians we have in the fam!






There you have it. Even twins see it differently.

This blue/black/white/gold dress is history-making. A dress hasn't been this controversial since JLo's green Versace, which, looking back now, wasn't flattering at all.

What will the Internet have us talking about tomorrow? Can't wait to find out!

Love,
Margaret

I did a twitter search and found ten sets of identical twins talking about the dress. Nine of them see it differently! Now I'd expect some self-selection bias, in that twins seeing it differently are more likely to tweet the news compared with twins who see it the same, but nine out of ten seems pretty darned significant.

Well, that's very interesting! Thanks for the insight!
