What Happened to all the blondes?

Spending allot of my time in the cities "Night Life" it is hard to ignore the fact that there are less and less blondes out there. When did being blonde go out of style and dark hair take over?



Seems like ever since Eva Longoria made her wave in the entertainment scene from that God awful show of hers and became a fan favorite of most of the male demographic in America more and more girls have rushed to their local hair salon or Walgreens to become brunettes, or even straight black. The days of the long flowing blonde haired Pamela Anderson's who graced the walls of so many college dorm rooms are long gone, and quite frankly, I don't get it?


After spending countless hours on Myspace and Facebook looking at pictures, the number of girls with dark hair is astronomical! I am not just talking about those dark haired ethnic beauties, but girls who look as "All American" as the day is long with jet black hair. "I'm not into blondes" has become a built in phrase with men of all generations, I hear it said in social circles more times than you can imagine! Websites consisting of pics of "blonde" vs, "brunette" are all over the Internet, with the "brunette" coming out with the coveted title of "sexiest" the majority of the time. It's hard to pick girls out of the crowd in clubs and lounges in the sea of dark hair, they just all blend in with each other. Can it be attested to today's youth having no creativity, that they just follow the crowd? It's inevitable that there will always be the play it safers, the people who follow mainstream, but this dark hair obsession is overwhelming! I feel like we are living in a SciFi movie, as if Aliens are planting them all over. The dark haired Stepford Wives take Boston by storm, all mirroring each other. Are Girls that afraid to be who they are, worried they won't fit in?

I have spent the last 20 years of my life as a blonde, and I cant deny that I have got the itch to go darker at times for whatever the reason but when I get down to really thinking about it I say to myself "don't fix what ain't broken" !

You naturally dark haired beauties used to be special, different, not so much anymore with all the club rats running to Walgreens for their box of back dye!

Oh and to those men who are "not into blondes" I have this to say. I am sure you wouldn't banish Pamela Anderson or Jenna Jameson from your bed for being "BLONDE"

did you happen to watch the premiere of Rock of Love Bus? I had to watch it because "SOMEONE" has an addiction to these shows...if you did, notice the color hair of the girls on the "pink" bus, vs. "blue" bus.
