I am a blonde. There I've said it, admitted that I have the hair color most folks associate with the word "dumb". I have heard every joke about blondes that has ever been written, unless more have been thought up in the last week or two.
I was just wondering how the "dumb blonde" thing got started. I would imagine that in ancient times that those with fair hair would have been revered. I'm pretty sure throughout history there have been many famous blondes.
From what I can tell the dumb blonde was created by movies and television? Why did they pick on blondes? Why not brunettes? I guess dumb brunette just doesn't roll off the tongue as well. Dumb redhead, too long I suppose.
The other thing is only female blondes are referred to as dumb. Why is it you never hear a man called a dumb blonde.? OK guys, don't say it, I meant that as a rhetorical question.
Maybe I should stop while I am ahead on this one. If I keep writing I think that I may prove that there is something to the "dumb blonde" thing.
Why did the blonde get fired from the M&M factory? She kept throwing out all the W's.
Have a fun April Fools Day.

Lol. i blame Marilyn Monroe's comedies and Barbie...
Your a hoot!!!
I have no idea how that one got started, but it would be interesting to find the 'root' of it.
However, blondes do seem to get alittle better extra treatment than redheads ... love to people watch ... very funny, and fasinating.
Oh yeah, Marilyn and Barbie are definitely to blame.
I was trying to send some photos from my phone to the computer, something I've done many times, and really messed it up. I muttered to myself something along the lines of "that was a real dumb blonde move".
I will admit that I have turned on the dumb blonde thing a time or two to get out of traffic tickets.
People watching is one of my favorite activities, the show is always good.
Ahha! felt good to read ur stuff!
All the best!

Very good questions posed. I always blamed the ditzy blonde Cali types who care only about tanning and keeping their valley girl accent going. But that may be too recent a phenomenon.
You have me intrigued Queen O' Squirrels. I'll definitely be following you around.
Hello Ranbir,
Thanks for visiting, hope you will come again.
Hi Argentum,
You don't have to be a blonde to have fun here. Welcome.
Florida's finest,
Back in my Alaska days a friend and I would sometimes turn on our very best valley girl impressions. It would make everyone around us crazy.
Fur shure,
