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. [/quote]

[b]Yes, this is about as far from the Wasp aesthetic as you can get. [/b][/quote]

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.  [/quote]
