Blonde Like Me was a very interesting book, detailing about the different shades of blonde and how they affect the women who wear that shade. For example, who knew that the color of winter sunshine was called Apollo Blonde and that Apollo Blondes are a combination of business woman and change-the-world? Or that Summer Wheat blondes were the homemakers and keepers of the hearth?
I have to admit that there are sections of the book that are superficial and perhaps even silly, but if you are a blonde (or live with blondes...know blondes...have a morbid curiosity) then you may enjoy this book. For the record, I was blonde as a child (for all those who have read the book-you know where this fits in!) and reading the book allowed me to see the various "shades" I had been...an innocent blonde when I was 18 and I'm now now an Apollo Blonde at 29...amazing the changes we blondes go through!
really good...makes you think a little more about being blonde=)
Light or dark, blondes inspire many emotions. This book covers all shades of blonde and why society is so fascinated with this particular color of hair. While I may have 'dirty dishwater' blonde now, I long for those light blonde days when I could have been considered an 'Innocent Blonde' although I do enjoy my mature 'Summer Wheat/Apollonian' designation now.
