Do Blondes Have More Fun?
April 22, 2007
Well, do they?
I have come to the conclusion that perhaps they do. My hair color is a medium brown. About 6 months ago those few grey hairs that appeared on my head started to multiply and that was totally unacceptable. It was horrifying enough when a stray grey mutant popped up but when they started massing in groups something had to be done. Judi, my hairdresser had the answer…highlights!
It is amusing to sit back and have someone smear stuff on parts of your locks then wrap them up in aluminum foil, cook, rinse, and voila…highlights that remove grey demons from hair. My introduction into the world of highlights began last June. Judi didn’t want me to freak out with a huge change, so the highlights were a lighter brown than my hair color. No one noticed. As the months passed Judi made the highlights a little lighter and a few friends and colleagues commented.
Last month I wanted to be daring so I told Judi make those highlights really blonde, which brings me to my discovery that blondes definitely get attention. I have worked at the Network for almost 20 years. The guys I work with never said a word about my hair. I walk in with blonde highlights and I get compliments from even the most annoying curmudgeon. I find this flattering, then amusing, and finally, as Mr. Spock would say, “fascinating”. I’m hoping that this whole being blonde thing doesn’t go to my head.
