Do Blonds Have More Fun?

As I sat in the chair at the Beauty Salon yesterday waiting for Bonnie to mix up a bleachy concoction to color my hair, I looked at my image in the wall sized mirror in front of me. My hair has been all shades of blond during my lifetime: platinum, dirty, strawberry, and golden. It has been bleached, streaked, frosted and shaded within an inch of its life. Bonnie, my hair professional, takes care to nourish, condition and strengthen it so it is shiny and manageable.

Marilyn Monroe got a lot of mileage out of her tresses but blonds are sometimes associated with being dumb! Why? The color of ones hair has nothing to do with brainpower! Personally, I think being blond makes me feel good about myself. Light, airy, fresh, sunshine: those are the words I use to describe being blond. Being blond has gotten a bad rap.

I know one thing, I will never, ever be grey headed. On some people it looks great. There is nothing prettier than a beautiful woman (or man) with a snow white head of hair. I just know that when I am walking in the salon at age 102 (with my walker,) I will say "Blond me up, Bonnie!"

Blonds really do have more fun!
