Blond ambition

As a natural born blonde, I felt the need to respond to the earlier post extolling the virtues of redheads. Let me make it clear that I have nothing against red hair or the ginger people, as they are sometimes called. I myself have been a redhead from time to time, courtesy of our friends at Clairol.

Although my hair has not retained its flaxen shade, I still feel that I am at heart a blonde. When I say blonde, I am not referring to the bleached bubble heads with fake tits that reside mostly in the universe of porn and girly magazines. I mean the blondes of old Hollywood like Jean Harlow, Marlene Dietrich, Mae West, Greta Garbo, and Marilyn Monroe. These women were sexy, feisty, sultry, funny and smart. These women were the blondes that had more fun, and they made blonde look good. But like everything else that becomes popular and copied, every bimbo with a bottle of bleach decided she could be a blond.

Sorry girls, it doesn’t work that way. Blond is not a hair color. It’s a state of mind.

You have to be smart and witty without being too obvious and smug. A great blond is bubbly and fun without being clueless. She has confidence and respect for herself and others.
I look at the famous blondes today and I can’t help feeling let down. Britney Spears and Jessica Simpson give blond a bad name with their vapid antics and marginal talent. Madonna is a great performer and is mostly known for being blond, but there is something a little too brittle and calculated about her, like a brunette that is trying too hard.

Then there are the blondes that give me hope. Ellen DeGeneres, Drew Barrymore, Chelsea Handler, Martha Stewart and Ru Paul are my favorite modern day blondes. So when you think of blond, think of these ladies and “lady” instead of the bimbos that decorate the world of smut.

Being blond isn’t easy, but if you can pull it off, if you are up to the challenge, it is a hell of a good time.
