Blonde Bombshells

So it's pretty much accepted that the Western Standard of beauty is blonde, with blue eyes, boobs and skinny everything else. But to be honest, I don't entirely agree. To be honest, I'm a big fan of the sandy/honey blonde, with waves or curls and a little regrowth - rather than the platinum 'plastic' look at the moment. The dirtier blonde reminds me of the pictures of mermaids I used to look at when I was little (before I decided I wanted to ride horses and drive fast cars instead of playing shop and mummy).
However - there are a lot of dirty looking blondes out there, and even those who usually represent the hair colour with sophistication and poise slip up every now and then.

It can be done so nicely though, and while I wait for my hair to settle into this lot of dye so I can then go to the hairdressers and get it fixed; I thought I'd soothe my soul with some beautiful blondes tresses.

Twiggy, ever the style inspiration. Only she could pull off a hairstyle like this with her big eyes and slightly imperfect style. I think the reason she was so beautiful is that she seemed slightly uncomfortable in her own skin, well at least that's what I see in photos. There was an innocence there, almost a real life goldilocks sort of thing. I could totally picture her stealing some porridge and using that look to try and get out of it.

Nicole Richie - beachy blonde. Not the biggest fan , but I do like her hair.

Caramel blonde looked really good on Mischa Barton, but a lot of people can't pull it off. Also love the layers on her, they add so much class.

Crazy curly blonde hair on Aly Milchalk (think that's how you spell it). A bit too blonde perhaps? I reckon a little bit of dark undertones would add to it but it's still nice.

I like the colour of her sister AJ's hair, but I do prefer waves. I think she looks really nice here though, and I am more a fan of her colour in this photo than Aly's; just looks nice and natural.

 Debbie Harry. Where can I begin? Well it goes without saying that she has to be in this post, because not only was she a hot blonde; but she was the only blonde/female member of a band called Blondie. Her style was so edgy, and I think it's inspired a lot of the dirty blondes of today. I can totally see Kesha in the photo of her on the top right. I think she pulled it off with a little more class though, not that I'm against Kesha at all. I just think it looks nice a little classier.

Kate Moss, ever the babe, even if she's always in the headlines for something or another. Sometimes I'm not a big fan of her style, it's almost too trashy, but sometimes she pulls it off nicely. I do like the colour of her hair though, especially recently when its been a little darker underneath and more honey on top.

I really like the way Kesha has brought dirty blonde back into fashion, not single handedly, but she's had a big influence. This photo probably isn't the best to showcase her slight trashbag style; I like it when it's a bit darker - but to be honest this probably suits her better. The only problem I have with Kesha is that a lot of the time she has her hair too much on the trashy side and less on the wild. But when it was a little darker underneath and she has little plaits and stuff in really long crazy hair I reckon it looks super amazing. And definite kudos to her - I don't think many others out there could pull it off!

Miss Lohan. I really like this colour on her - although she looked really good with her natural red also. It's a really nice colour, but not really as beachy as I like. I reckon it looks really classy though.

Hilary Duff is in here because her hair is pretty much sexy as feck. Perfect beachy waves, with subtle layers and dark undertones. It's just wild enough to have class without looking like she spent hours having it done (which she almost definitley did). One of my favourite blondes yet.

And what would this be, without the beautiful Marilyn Monroe. Her hair was obviously dyed, but it suited her so much! Noone would have paid anywhere near as much attention to her if she was brunette. I just love the way she was able to change it up from looking perfectly manicured and then sometimes like she'd just rolled out of bed with her hair a little flyaway and the tiniest bit out of control. But at the same time, ALWAYS classy. I obviously prefer the latter, but there was something to be said for the former as well. Oh Marilyn. Always an inspiration; and a pleasure to behold. 

Sometimes I wish I was a dude so I could be attracted to these babes. Unfortunately I don't swing that way, so I just have to be jealous and admire them simeltaneously - which slightly dilutes their babeness.

Oh well.

Also - just to be clear, my blog isn't just about clothes and hair. It will eventually have other stuff in it too. It's just that this is what I was thinking about when I sat down at the computer. So this is what my offering for today is.

Keep it ninja babes .
