Iconic Althouse...

... strikes again.

Every time I see that I have to wonder... what's up with your hair?

It must be so weird though, to keep seeing that. At least this time it's got you doing sort of lawyer-ish research.

Honestly, I don't think the picture fits the caption.

The picture is too student-cramming-ish, rather than corporate-schemer-ish.

Apparently the photo's price is nice (aka free), so applicability is a secondary concern.

"what's up with your hair?"

Uh... it's 3 a.m.... I have a 6 month old baby 15 feet away from me, and I'm trying to finish writing a take-home exam.

That's hilarious. I was wondering how it kept coming up, but I just put "studying" into Google Images, and it popped up about of the way down the page. It must be the intensity of your gaze that gets folks. I'm surprised they keep using it, though--the glasses are obviously from decades ago. I had some similar ones. When I look at old photos, I wonder how I stood to wear windshields for glasses. Looking at modern ones, though, I don't know how people stand to wear such tiny ones.

I get the late night and baby thing. It looks like you've pinned the back up somehow so it's coming back over the top of your head.

You look beautiful in the picture, hence it's popularity. Also, it's become well known by now.
