Dumb Blonde

If you have known me for a while some of you would have noticed that I used to be a blonde. I at one point when dinosaurs ruled the earth, I was naturally blonde before anybody asks and I actually used to have curly hair as well. But every once in a while I had met someone and they saw my blonde hair and instantly judges my personality just based on the color of my hair. I've done my research and I have found out that the dumb blonde stereotype started with a woman called Rosalie Dathae.

She was a french courtesan who had a reputation of taking really long pauses before she spoke, making her look not only stupid but literately dumb as in mute. She could also be where the slutty/bimbo stereotype came from for blondes because she was a courtesan and she used to paint while nude. But I don't want to place too much blame on her because I don't think that's fair.

Like I said, I've done my research and it's been scientifically tested and proven that your hair color has no effect on your personality or intelligence whatsoever. This includes gingers.So all that about blondes being dumb and brunettes being boring and redheads being fiery? it's all crap. When one person is a little bit stupid and they're also blonde They aren't stupid because they're blonde, they just happen to have those two traits. But as soon as people notice someone who's dumb and blonde oh well it must be true!

And everyone that they meet from that moment on that's blonde? They put them into the dumb blonde category. Whether it's true or not. I did like being blonde when I was, and now I enjoy being ginger. There's not particular reason why I like it, it's what I've been given and it's what I have. So I'll just make the most of it. The only reason I bring this up is because I saw this shampoo the other day that makes your hair blonde and I just thought hair, and being blonde, and the judgements that come along with it. Now I'm not the brightest crayon in the box but I definitely know that I'm not dumb. Or fiery. And I was just hoping that I was some sort of proof that those judgements are misconceptions and they aren't actually true. Just proof that all blondes aren't ridiculously stupid and we aren't all supermodel types, and we just... we basically aren't all Paris Hilton.
