Gosh I will never dye my hair blonde then. I’m a blue eyed brunette and get more unsolicited attention than I could ever want.

Nope.

I’m naturally a blue-eyed, olive skin brunette and when I get a little golden my eyes pop.

I have tried blond a few times, but then I just look like everyone else .

I was like a celebrity in my 20s/30s when I stuck to my natural color.

And I still do pretty well now.

Huge 2nd. I'm naturally a medium 6 hair color and when I get my hair to an 8, the difference is enormous. In grad school, I had a professor who was obsessed with punctuality. The rules did not apply to the two of us with blonde hair.

No one is “jealous”of you, sweetums. That’s just a lie your mommy told you when the other girls were mean to make you feel better about yourself.

I never think about my "palette" unless someone brings it up, which is never. I have had to deal with the occasional person who assumes I am dumb as a rock because of how I look, though, or that I'm a princess type. They find out otherwise eventually. We Nordics let our actions speak for us.

Is there a reason you're not specifying the country? Don't worry, there are lots of Finns or whatever in the DMV, you are not outing yourself.

Most Finns aren’t blonde blue eyed. Or even Norwegians. It’s mostly swedes and Danes, but you don’t seem like a person who has travelled much so I Understand the confusion.

Do you miss St. Olaf?

Interestingly, we spent a number of years in the Middle East and Asia, and the blonde worship is going strong in both those regions. My ds and I were regularly photographed without our consent in China and several Middle Eastern countries. People regularly told me that my hair and eyes and light skin were beautiful, or just how beautiful I was, and I’m a basic pretty white mom, not a supermodel. The depressing thing is that NONE of the natives of those countries look anything like blonde white Westerners, yet that look is generally considered beautiful.

What I would like to see is a female equivalent to Adam Driver: a woman with a freakishly weird pancake face who is considered hot.

I feel like Anjelica Huston is the female equivalent--they are both jolie laide.

Uma Therman.

I can't decide if Uma and Adam are homely or hot. To me they look like they are BOTH. Which is odd but I kind of love it, I love when people don't fit the mold and our brains trip out on it a little

I like it when a person is a mix of both. Uma is smoking hot to me, and I am a female. Daniel Craig is the same way. Almost ugly but sexy for some reason.

Am i the only woman who has always gotten more attention as a brunette than a blonde?

You know if your face was the exact same but the color was brown or black with dark hair you would have a much different experience. You have definitely benefited from your light skin and blonde hair. And that’s okay, but you should acknowledge it.

** cough** Tori Spelling and Tiffany Trump would beg to differ with you. Unattractive is unattractive. Please don't try to make it anything other than what is is.

There is a reason they both dye their hair bleach blonde, they know it softens their ugly and they will be more accepted.

Even with her daddy connections, Tori would not have had the role she had on TV without the blonde hair.
And Tiffany could not pass muster to land her boyfriend without the bottle blond. Guys will look beyond some ugly if there is makeup, short dresses and have blond hair.

Funny. I think they would both look better with brown hair especially, Tiffany. The blonde is actually what works against them because it highlights the akwardness of the shape of their faces.

Blonde hair distracts from a face, dark hair frames a face.

If you put a yellow picture frame on a portrait, you would notice the frame first.
If you put a black or brown frame on a portrait, you notice the face first.
