Blondes do it Better

[Weird Harold]

Blonde Jokes aren't new.

I think that the dumb blonde jokes have caught on so much because of the portrayal of women in the media.

The only thing that is new about dumb blonde jokes, is the fact that the butt of the joke is a dumb blonde. The same jokes were told when I was a child, but they were "Little Moron" jokes then. Since my childhood, I've heard them transformed into Polish jokes, Irish jokes, etc.

Re: Don't we just LOVE being blondes??

And hey - let's face it - a tight black leather outfit just looks best on a curvy blonde *winks* - and don't any of you disagree on this in presence of the divine Mistress of Darkness and Despair! (*chuckles* well - feel free to do so if you are ready for the consequences though)


I have to disagree with you, Hecate. It's been my experience that when it comes to young, curvy blondes; nothing looks good on them.< wink, wink>

I personally never judge a person(blond or otherwise) until they open their mouth and give me a reason to think such. Maybe I am bias since I have blond hair, but I choose to pass judgement only after having or attempting an intelligent conversation.

This is slightly off topic... Manu and I were at Sav-On buying a few necessities yesterday. We picked the shortest line, but somehow managed to get behind this...woman... She was in her 40's, but dressed in clothes that only look good on young girls - a crop top, and capris. Her hair was a brittle, bleached blonde, and she looked like she'd applied her make-up with a trowel.

But that's not what set me off. She buys 10 or 12 things, waits for the cashier to ring them up and give her the total, THEN starts to fish through her purse for money. She's pulling out dollar bills (I guess she just throws all her bills in crumpled balls into her purse instead of using a wallet like most people) when finally her boyfriend (20 years her junior) tells her, "C'mon, baby, write a check." She looks startled, like it never occurred to her, then hunts through her purse for her checkbook.

Her boyfriend, embarrassed by the scene, slinks out of the store to grab a smoke. Five minutes agonizing later, she's written a check, it's cleared, and she's able to go - only she's spread the contents of her purse all over the little island which is home to the machine through which I can run my debit card. Oblivious to the growing line behind her, she delicately picks up and inspects every piece of crap before depositing back into her purse. Annoyed nearly to the point of violence, I reach over her (she's barely 5', I'm a towering 5'4" above her), say loudly "Excuse me" and swipe my card. Finally getting the hint - she throws all her miscellaneous tissues/lipsticks/money into her purse and scurries out of the store.

Here's what annoys me... I could tell by looking at this chick that when she was younger, she was probably a "hottie". When she was 21, a scene like that would have been "cute" - now it was just pathetic. It's really sad to see women who've managed to get by on their looks their entire lives - who've never had to act intelligently in any situation - when they're no longer 18 and no one cares anymore. I felt bad for her, but at the same time I was so irritated that she felt no qualms about holding up an entire line of people with her complete lack of preparation. I mean, fucking get it together, girl!

I'm a strawberry blonde, so this isn't an anti-blonde tirade. It's an anti-stupidity tirade. I don't care what color your hair is - there's no excuse for ignorance.

Ah, I feel much better now. Thanks.

 

[Rasputin]

Ahhhh Laurel...from one Strawberry blond to another...my thoughts exactly!!! There is never an excuse for ignorance.

Re: Don't we just LOVE being blondes??

Now - to be perfectly honest ... of course i do use the "blonde" smile to get off a ticket .. and it works (but then again it would for any other female too I assume wearing a rather .. revealing outfit)

I am sorry, but Dammit.. I wish that DIDN'T work! I am working my ass off to become a "curvy" woman.. at the moment I could probably be considered a "cuddly" woman. People.. I hate to break it to you, but I am blond, and I can give the blond smile, but it just does not work when you are an overweight woman.
If a cop lets you off on the merits of your hair colour and your smile alone then you are pretty damn lucky. Frankly I think that is just an ego trip for him that a SEXY young blond thing smiled at him, why would he want to hurt your delicate sensibilities?
Meanwhile us other ones get the "she's a big girl, she should know better" and take the ticket.

Anyway.. I already can see holes in my argument. Throw as many tomatos as you want. I'm a big girl.. I can handle it.

I don't think it's entirely looks - I think you have to be a weasel as well. Firesprite - you just need to be more weasely - show a little cleave, flirt a little. I've never been pulled over, never had a ticket (knock on wood), but my sister is GORGEOUS and she gets tickets all the time 'cause she's too stupid to use her looks to her advantage. If I had a choice between being an intelligent girl with average looks and a super-hot girl with no brains, I'd choose the former. Of course, if I could, I'd be a gorgeous girl with brains and millions of dollars to boot, but that's another thread...

 

[Firesprite]

upon further consideration...

I havn't been pulled over for speeding either, but I have been stopped for overloading (too many people in a vw beetle) and once to make sure my car belonged to me (I now have a BMW and most people around here drive beat up fords)

Oh and I have had cops stop for me when I have been at the side of the road.. actually one was even helpful.. I was putting the top up on the beetle and he assisted cos it was starting to rain. The other couple of times I was reading a map or sitting in my car at the beach at 4am..

But thats all beside the point.. I agree its not totally looks, or totally hair, or totally smile. I guess I'm just a bit envious really.

Firesprite~

Never be envious of being blond or curvy or someone other than who you are. Being blonde has major disadvantages, and let me tell you, if I thought that I could pull off another color...I WOULD!! (tried some red in high school once...let's don't even talk about how bad it was).

In my opinion, there are advantages and disadvantages to everything in this world. They say the grass always looks greener on the other side. Sure, it might seem nice to be able to smile and wink and get what you want, but to what end. Do you also want the position that comes with being blonde and moderately attractive whereby you feel you have to go above and beyond everyone else to prove that you are, in fact, not a dumb blonde. I think that I have to work twice as hard (in college and now in my job) to make people take me for the intelligent woman that I am.

Pardon me, I believe my complex is showing.

Honestly, I'm sure you are a wonderful person exactly the way you are. If you are changing yourself and your weight to make you happier, by all means...I wish you the very best of luck and all the encouragement in the world. From reading your posts I can see that you are intelligent and caring, and if people don't accept you the way you are; that's their loss.

Moving on to greener pastures

Yeah there is an element of the grass is greener to my working on loosing the weight, but for the first time I have wanted to change to make myself happier, fitter and healthier.

I've seen my sister go through the yo-yo dieting cycle and it is certainly not making her any happier doing it that way. I have joined a gym which is a first for anyone in my very large family.

I have found that with working out and as my fitness levels rise I just don't like all the fatty foods quite so much. still, it is hard to stop eating chips. I think you americans call them crisps? anyway.. thank goodness I get headaches from too much sugar (about half a chocolate bar is my limit) and I don't eat deserts (unless I have gone out for an expensive dinner and they have something I just cant resist.. but that is about a once a year occurance!)

Well.. anyway.. since that was totally off topic I'll go now...

 

[dancinvixen]

I am a natural blonde <even though it doesn't show in my pictures> But in this here awful state of WA, my hair has darkened. But I believe the reason why people think blondes are dumb, is maybe because most blondes act that way. My way of fighting against this is a bit unortodoxed, so it may not work for all. But I like to wow people and make them feel stupid. Also, if they start in on the blonde jokes, I tell them so many that they haven't heard they usually stop.

 

[Juliet]

I've met a lot of dumb people in my life and they were definitely not all blonde. I am a blonde and I think I'm pretty damn intelligent...most of the time any way <grin>

The one thing that is important to remember about intelligent blondes is--- that they know when to play dumb...
