A more interesting conversation might be focused on how blue eyes are portrayed as something desirable and worthy of note in all forms of media. OP formed her preference based on something. I always notice mention of tow-heads and blue eyes in magazine articles. [/quote]

DP. "All forms of media"? You "always notice mention of tow-heads and blue eyes" in magazines?

I've never noticed either as being prevalent. I'd think this might be a function of the specific types of media you're personally consuming or noticing, not "all forms of media." That's a vastly broad claim. If you have some concrete examples or studies, that's one thing, but anecdotal impressions that you've seen blue eyes described as especially desirable sounds very 1950s to be honest. I don't mean that as a slam, I mean that it's just not what I'm actually seeing currently on social media, models in catalogues, children's book illustrations these days, profiles in publications, etc.

The increase in Latino, Asian and other actors in more prominent roles in recent years, and the increase in coverage of such actors/celebrities etc., would seem to indicate that we're all [i]seeing[/i] more brown eyes, across a wide range of brown-to-nearly-black, than ever before. I haven't (anecdotally!) seen or heard any criticism of those eye colors, any more than I've seen praise of blue as "desirable and worthy of note." [/quote]
