“Blondes are great, they’re gorgeous. But it takes a brunette to put a spell on you.”
-Unknown
Contrary to popular belief, blondes do not, in fact, have more fun. I would say that fun is equally divided amongst girls of all hair colors, and I think the blondes-have-more-fun misconception is a result of the sheer number of fake blondes. So few among us choose to retain our natural hair color that it’s impossible to tell the blondes from the brunettes these days. Personally, I am proud to say that I’ve never dyed my hair and don’t intend do until the grey makes it’s first appearance (then, of course, all bets are off, and I’ll dye till I die). But I’ll never go blonde, and I feel the need to encourage the natural beauty of my fellow femmes brunes. Ladies, it’s time to ditch the bleach and join the Sisterhood of Bombshell Brunettes.
As a recent episode of “Mad Men” so aptly surmised, every woman is a Jackie or a Marilyn. I suppose there are shades of grey, but for the purpose of this tirade, let’s pretend we are all one or the other. Have you ever seen a brunette blow-up doll? I have not (not that I’ve seen that many), and I think there’s a reason why: there is something about a brunette that is inherently classy, sophisticated, and above objectification. JFK could have had any woman in the world (and he did), but he married Jackie because she was the crème de la crème. The Marilyns of the world are a dime a dozen, but the Jackies are few and far between.
Some of the most glamorous women ever to have lived were and are brunettes. We are in very good company. Par exemple:
Natalie Wood - stunning and stylish. I aspire to be even half as fabulous as she was.
Audrey Hepburn - obviously.
Angelina Jolie - Brad left his blonde for this killer brunette.
Penelope Cruz - Tom also realized the dark-haired species of womanhood is incomparable.
Demi Moore - she's in her mid-40s and managed to snag a much younger fella', thanks in part to those gorgeous locks.
Alessandra Amrosio - possibly the hottest woman alive. I think i have a crush on her!
