How do you get this color blonde?

| Wasp stands for white ango Saxon Protestant which has a connotation of a blonde person with English ancestry. |

Maybe Southerners would be into this? I'm a NE WASP and it is and always has been about looking fresh and natural. So some lighter highlights on a natural blonde base? Yes! This, "I got into a fight with a bottle of peroxide and some cheap Clairol in my bathroom" look absolutely does not fit with that aesthetic and would be considered pretty cheap and trashy looking. It's definitely not working for this woman. |

| This is the color of my toddler son’s hair. His sister calls it very very very yellow. It won’t last forever, though my brother had similar hair and is still very blonde for an adult man. |

| Is no one going to mention how her foundation is way too dark and orange in most of those pictures? |

Yes, it’s a tasteless Southern look. She probably grew up wearing bows larger than her head, and awful smocked dresses. There’s a reason the South isn’t the fashion capital of the world, or even America. |

Thank you! Yes, I am rooting for her too. And I like her clothes, but my mom wore clothes like that (and sewed many of her own) and had the elaborate 60s helmet-dos, so I'm a bit nostalgic about the elegance of that era (dresses had capes!) Someone please keep tabs on her for us so we can see if our comments went for good and not evil. |

| I mean, she is still attractive, in spite of the Stepford Wife thing she has going on. I'm also rooting for her because I think she's on to something here fashion wise. |

There is something so off about all of them. Uncanny valley almost |

Yes, this is about as far from the Wasp aesthetic as you can get. |

Yes. My first exposure to the Wasp was with my suitemates at Harvard. I had never met people like that and it was kind of fascinating to me as an undergrad from a different world. Those girls and their moms were NOT 'done up' like this woman. Certainly no bleach jobs. The girls almost uniformly had long hair that was somehow thick and shiny even though they didn't do much to it, and the moms didn't seem to spent huge amounts of time grooming (though that kind of natural look is expensive and takes a lot of work, I know now). They wore makeup and did have their hair highlighted sometimes, but it was always the kind of thing that looked natural. So much more difficult to achieve than this woman's heavy-handed look. Maybe as some have said here, it is a Southern look? Is she even from the South? This unfortunate woman in the photos would have been labeled trashy-looking by my 'real' NE Wasp friends. My college friends are in their late 30s now and nobody would be caught dead with this ugly bleached out rooty look now: the blondes have the kind of expensive colouring that looks as if they could have been born with it. And the orange makeup is is a no. |

Here is a feature on this woman, a Quarantine Diary with photos. The first sentence is: 'It's no secret that Molly Moorkamp has the best hair in New York. In fact, it's quite plain to see.'

Well thank you! But who are these women and where did these pics come from?? |

I feel like this is a very “Lily Pulitzer for the younger set” vibe she’s going for. (That, or she really misunderstood the aesthetic of Carolyn Bessette Kennedy.)

Missouri. She looks and apparently lives like UES WASP cosplay. |
