 Be YOU, but the good YOU. Nicely dressed. Well groomed. Polite and well-mannered. Odds are good that the g-parents are considerably older and probably much more conservative than you. I'd avoid the skater-rock-chick look. Skip the bizarre nose ring and the temptation to hang airplane wreckage from your ear lobes and bottom lip. It's also a safe assumption that you have nothing they haven't already seen in their lifetime..don't expose body parts better left covered or parts of body parts. Avoid wearing dog collar-like stuff or they may demand you stay outside. Use your head and you'll be ok. If you can't manage the above, I'd suggest avoiding meeting the g-parents.

 Hun, MANNERS!!!! Remember your MANNERS!! Yes Please, No Thank yous... Smile and pay attention when they talk to you.
Hide any tattoos, remove piercings, dont wear revealing clothes.... these things can appear once they get to know you.
Sometimes grandparents can be quite 'Victorian' in their outlook and frown on things that we find acceptable.
Sorry, sounds like I am lecturing you but I hope that my little bit of advice helps!
