Why you think that? I think I saw a lot of pictures about Scandinavians with this kind of eyes shape, with light color, there were so beautiful,btw. But I am too much lazy to search the net for pictures:)

I lived with this beautiful Swedish girl in a house in London. It can't be observed clearly in this picture, but she appeared to have some sort of epicanthic folds on closer inspection. Totally gorgeous girl, there is no look I find more attractive than the Scandinavian blonde.
Why I simply disagree with what is posted on wikipedia (wikipedia is an interesting tool when they to link a specific information to a credible source, if not, it is biased), in some way they generalize only on Scandinavians populations without even posting a source, and others, the Eastern Europeans, Finns, Southern Eastern Europeans where are they?
Not to mention that the text in question is extremely poor in information...
If this is some kind of epicanthus, it's likely a localized Northern adaptation to extreme cold weather, rather than suggesting a Mongoloid origin. One must understand that similar-looking traits can develop independently based on similar climatic conditions. We've actually discussed this indepth on the old Northern anthro mailing list, probably about 9 or 10 years ago.
About me Amarantine, answering the your question by the rep, I don't have ;)
Haven't you seen my photos posted on the defunct Hbf and AF?? Or you don't remember! :D :P
No, I never saw your photos simply becouse I rarely read those threads with personal pictures, I know just a few members by photos.
And even I don't know one of my favourite members, here and there...he will recognized himself if he read this...;)
P.S. But you could send me your photos anytime :wink:coffee:
But Mongols eyes had different eye shape, you could not compare that. My mother have epicanthus fold even we don't live in cold climate zone neither we are Mongols. And here in Montenegro a lot of blond and semi blond people have that epicathus fold similar to your gf...and we are not Scandinavians, too. :cool:
And, I am quite new in anthro so, my appology if we talk about an old subject ...
