We used to call this the "blonde hair syndrome" in college. Dudes who thought that any chick, no matter how ugly her face, was hot because she had blonde hair.
Our measure of whether someone was really attractive was "would she look good bald?" (not that anyone looks good bald, but would her face/figure be appealing without the hair.)
Most blondes didn't make the cut. It really is true I guess, blondes have the edge!

I've never heard that before. Isn't it possible that they all have heart shaped faces? Seems kind of harsh to call people bulimic based on their face shapes. I'm friends with several petite women with roundish faces and thin bodies who are anything BUT bulimic...

Do you mean triangle shaped faces? Because heart shaped faces are by definition narrower through the cheeks. And it's not just the round face, it's the thick cheek flesh that (especially in Renee Z's case) makes their mouths work funny.
Anyway, like I said, my friend would know.

You know, I don't think this is that true anymore.
I can't think of a blonde that posters on this board consistently lust after.
I can't think of a blonde in Hollywood that gets all the parts. I can think of actresses who go blonde for certain roles. But really, who is THE hot blonde? Pamela Anderson? Please.
I think that it's a self-perpetuating stereotype. Guys think blondes are stupid and give them all the attention while they're out, thinking they can jedi-mind-trick them into bed. Blonde women with brains figure out that they get things by acting stupid and do so. Little blonde girls notice the attention from an early age, are also taught that they can use it to their advantage and don't study as much. They become stupid and/or act stupid and the cycle begins again.

My hair has been many different colours. When I was blonde I definitely got hit on more than I have when it was/is brunette or red. But maintaining blonde hair is a pain and I actually don't think I look very good as a blonde (all washed out).

Actually, it's from edema. From the near constant purging and use of laxatives, they tend to dehydrate themselves (loss of water and electrolytes). They then suffer from "rebound" water retention and swelling of the salivary glands. Once they revert to a normal diet, this swelling goes down (the exercise/health gurus are not kidding that drinking more water does not lead to bloating - it helps you get rid of toxins and balance your system). Sadly, when they see this swelling they see it as weight gain (well, fat gain) and most keep abusing laxatives and purging. That's why it may seem permanent, but it really can go away.

I've been all over the map too. I think I was hit on more as a brunette (current color) partially because I had the same washed-out issue as qwinky (I insist that only 1/4 or less of the people who dye their hair blond should be doing so based on complexion issues alone). Also I am more confident now, happy with myself, pulled together now than I was as a 20-something, so I think that contributes to the more-hit-on stat. fwiw.

The "dumbest" girl in my high school was actually a brunette. Drove me nuts because she was actually fairly bright, but because she was pretty and started getting attention from the boys she acted like her waist size was also her IQ.
She once pretended (I hope) that she couldn't subtract 0 from 31. I could barely contain the eye roll.

I have never understood the whole dumb as an attractive trait thing. Why would a guy want a dumb girl? Yet, enough guys seem to be afraid of intelligent women to make it seem like it's an accurate stereotype.
Although I guess that I shouldn't complain -- it means I had less competition in wooing Mrs Not Bob, the poster girl for the "smart is sexy" movement.

Water and lust finds its own level.
Most guys are morons. They lust after girls who are morons.
Smart guys appreciate smart women. However, there aren't many smart guys out there (except on this board, natch).
Hence, the "conventional wisdom" has it that dumb girls are hotter than smart girls. Rather they're merely more attractive to the great unwashed masses than the smarties.
This is my theory, which is mine, which I created. My theory, which I wrote, is mine and was created by me . . .

Concur. The two most lusted-after women in my freshman dorm were (1.) incredibly cool bookish chick who went on to become Rhodes scholar; and (2.) busty bottle blonde --- did I mention she had a huge rack? --- who giggled a lot and whose intelligence level seemed positively bovine. Which one you favored was a pretty accurate litmus test of your own intelligence.
Since the residents of this particular dorm were in an honors program (i.e., nerd ghetto), the bovine blonde was probably faking, but she caused me to doubt when she asked me about a seminar reading assignment and admitted she simply didn't understand "Doss-a-tevksy." I wish she could have been coyly twisting her hair around her index finger, so I would've known for sure she was yanking my chain.
The thing that killed me about the Rhodes scholar was that she was from a rich family yet was nice as fuuuuuck and seemed genuinely to care about people. She had everything, and she gave no one the pleasure of hating her guts for it.

ONJ: she looks better now than in the Physical video. Since I suck at guessing, is she just aging really well or has there been work done?
Josh: I can't believe they all tthought he was great. I was literally flinching during that song. He just seemed to be trying too hard. His diction wasn't great and he seemed to have too much air supprot on the held notes making them seem very forced and piercing. The hat was lame.
Trenyce: She did well... chose some odd phrasing and I think breathed at some inopportune times, but she was better than I was expecting given the style. Good interpretation. I think she's been better before.
Kim L: OK. I disagreed that it was the best she's been and how great the song was. It just didn't do that much for me and I think it would have been better in a different key. But maybe I just still can't stand her b/c of the way overdone Over the Rainbow. In any event I wasn't excited.
Corey: My first thought: WTF is up with that shirt? Second thought: He still sucks. His change to his upper register was very abrupt. Randy and Paula liked it?!?!?
Carmen: "Y'all" doesn't sound natural coming from her. She was ok. Better than I thought she'd be. But it wouldn't shock me if she were in the bottom three. She always has an awkward-looking posture. Slightly off pitch in places. ZI don't know why Simon always talks about how great she is.
Rickey: He is sooooooooooooooo much better than Corey. And I still like him because he's a nice guy. I want him to go far (but he won't win).
Kim C: Pretty girl, but wtf was up with that outfit... the straps didn't look right and that hideous prairie-looking skirt. She was good, but she never sings anything with range. Every note she seems to sing is in about a 1.5 octave range.
Ruben: First few notes, I didn't think it was the right song... but he was great. He is infectious.
Julia: Once again... a bad key for her to sing in. Some weird stuff... bad breathing, and disturbing ornamentation. Better than before, though. I still hoe she gets the boot. I can decide it if I want her or Corey to get booted first.
Clay: Absolutely a phenomenal voice. Beautiful... but not really expressing the Country theme as well as some others. I don't care. I still love him!!!!!!!

Overall, the country theme sucked -- mostly because we had to hear Simon whine about it. It exploted the weaknesses in the "country singer" performers (Josh and Carmen -feh). The performers all looked uncomfortable -- except for Josh, who should have.
JoshThe head-bobbing made me nauseated. Or maybe it was his singing. I hated the performance.
Trenyce: She seemed to hate her performance. It was much better than her reaction to it. She is really terrific. And the dress was much better than some things she has worn.
Kim L: It was complete karaoke. She sucks. She cannot sing. She has a nice voice, but she lacks rhythm, so all her perfomances are just a little bit off.
Corey Now, I am not a singer, but I understand that his upper register is remarkable. But the man sucks ass. He cannot sing, he cannot hit notes. He just sucks. Sure a producer could fix his problems in the studio, but why bother. He sucks. Did I mention he sucks?
Carmen: Simon only hears dollar signs when she sings. He thinks he can slot her into the Mandy Moore, Jessica Simpson "Christian Hottie" spot. She's just not good. The backing vocals covered how off she was on the chorus.
Rickey: I love Rickey. I thought he did well, but I wasn't crazy about the song. I hope he goes far in the competition, but I don't see him getting into the top 3.
Kim C: I would have given her a 1 octave. The rest of SEC's criticism was completely accurate. She is such a stripper -- it makes me wonder where she dances in Houston.
Ruben: He is by far the class of the competition. "Sweet Home Alabama" was the perfect song for him to sing -- and they edited almost all the political stuff out of the part he sang. He was phenomenal.
Julia: She did a great job -- for her. I think she goes tomorrow, though Trenyce is in danger.
Clay: I know you feel the geek-love, but I just don't get it. He has a nice voice and he sings well. But there is no passion. No interest. It's all very lounge singer. When Ryan leaned over to whisper something to him at the end, I was waiting for them to kiss -- NTTAWWT.

Josh: okay we know you're country, but that was a bit much. Trying to out-Garth Garth with all the running around.
Trenyce: obviously she hated her performance, but she definitely didn't suck. Safe bet there will only be one "country-rock" week, so if she makes it through she's probably safe for a while.
Kim L.: She knows her strengths lie with the ballads, so this was a good song choice for her. Couple of pitchy spots but a confident and smooth performance.
Corey: Why on earth do they keep encouraging him to shriek? It must sound completely different in the studio. Good riddance to the braids.
Carmen: Obviously feels comfortable in the genre, but that can't fully compensate for odd vibrato and recurrent pitch problems. She must really like Martina McBride (also sang one of her songs in the wild card), but somebody should break it to her about the lack of crossover familiarity.
Rickey: Sounded underrehearsed (unfamiliar song?), but still a beautiful voice.
Kim C.: Still a one-note wonder. Shouter. Avoids her vibrato, probably because she recognizes it's too fast. Voice lacks suppleness or beauty.
Ruben: Wasn't that song originally about segregation etc.? Odd. But obviously he has a lot of home state pride. It was nice to hear him doing an up-tempo number, and nail it as always.
Julia: I still hate her. You know, one way to seem better than you are is to cover a song by a bad singer (did you see/hear Faith Hill at the Grammys?). She and her gummy smile just plain suck.
Clay: Simon was right, it was a lot like last week (minus the shaky breaky falsetto finish and the eyelid flutters). He had better start showing some versatility or he will be done.
Is my strenuous wishing for Julia to be gone having the opposite effect? I'm starting to wonder if she doesn't have a group of crazed fans pulling for her a la Nikki McKibbin. Seeing the last of Corey or Carmen wouldn't break my heart.

There is a new Google feature where anyone can obtain a map to your house just by typing in your phone number.
I don't like this sort of thing at all. The good thing is, I typed in my number and it popped up someone else's place - and now I have figured out why I keep getting calls for that guy.
I think it uses fairly old information since I moved almost a year ago and it has my name associated with my old phone number but my current number has someone else's name. Like you, now I know why I get calls and voicemail for some guy who is apparently Italian.
I didn't see any way to delete the information, regardless of whether it's accurate.
You know, if you combine the reality TV thread and the Google-lack-of-privacy thing, you learn that you can get all of Zora's info on the web, including driving directions. I'm pretty sure no one's gonna stalk me, but this seems like a stalker's dream. What good are the laws enacted in the wake of Rebecca Schaeffer's death if Google moots them?
I'd like to maintain the fiction that all blondes are hot so that there is a surplus of hot unattached brunettes and redheads.
Tell me more about this whole men with blue/green/hazel eyes?

So, while I was on vacation I got to see Ryan Sutter's junior high yearbook pics, and read his lengthy and heartfelt inscriptions to my sil. Very cute. One of them included his phone number--sil says she's tempted to call up his mom to say hello.
Watched Oscars Sunday at a friend's house. She has another friend who is dating an MBA reject. Said reject is an actor, and the scuttlebutt is that the fiance selections are completely and totally rigged (surprise surprise).
Just a few notes from the Oscars:
Had all those women already decided to wear black, or was there lots of last-minute scrambling for the last black dress in town as starlets scuttled their colored attire for something more somber? Of the presenters and nominees, I counted at least 8 in black (Cameron Diaz, Jennifer Connelly, Mira Sorvino, Julia Roberts, Geena Davis, Susan Sarandon, Barbra Streisand and Meryl Streep), with two more in colors that looked black on TV (Catherine Zeta-Jones in dark brown and Nicole Kidman in midnight blue).
Cameron Diaz looked better than she's looked in a while--no scary wide bony cleavage and great red lipstick. The hair was a bit stringy.
Jennifer Connelly needs eyebrow help. And her outfit just looked dowdy.
Jennifer Garner and Hillary Swank both had the wrong dresses and the wrong hair. Women with such strong facial bone structure should wear deeper colors and less severe hairstyles (Hillary's dress when she won for Boys Don't Cry was perfect).
Liked Queen Latifah's "Move On" black dress lots and lots better than the blue one she was wearing in the seats.
Sean Connery: if you're going to wear the Bonnie Prince Charlie, for heaven's sake wear the kilt!
Julianne Moore for once was wearing a good color for her (after black at the GGs and ivory at the SAGs), and the dress was lovely, though the back view unfortunately showed off her square ass. LOVED her earrings.
A few women were wearing neutrals and looked good in them: Kate Hudson, Diane Lane, Halle Berry.
Kathy Bates and Meryl Streep both dressed up for once. Loved the color of Kathy Bates' dress; Meryl Streep's sleeves looked like an afterthought (but she had a fantastic necklace).
Thought Renee Z's dress was pretty, but she scares me. My friend (who would know) says Renee's sporting the telltale chipmunk cheeks of the longtime bulimic. You can really see what I'm talking about here: Same thing with Portia de Rossi and Calista Flockhart
tm
Actually, it is anorexics, not bulimics (unless they are anorexic-bulimic) who have the chipmunk cheeks. I always called them "circleheads". It was always obvious on Calista, but I thought Portia (how awful are these names?) had a round face attributable to poor bone structure in her earlier days on Ally McBeal before she caught the anorexia. Allison from Melrose also dveloped the circle face after catching same disease from Calista.
I was perusing the Natuional Enquirer online yesterday- LFB is apparently a full on alcoholic after Jack dumped her. Her bone structure is as fabulous as ever. So I guess the circle face syndrome only happens to those predisposed to it- ie chicks with poor bone structure.
And I disagree that those with strong faces should not wear severe hairstyles. I think it is totally appropriate to and accents the strong features. Strong bone structure is a prereq for being the most beautiful and why not show it off? I think Jennifer Garner, whose shows I have never seen, is just gorgeous and it is all bc of her bone streucture. Same thing with the late great Carolyn Bessette, my personal style icon. Let those great bones show.

Yes, ONJ hjas had work done. Looks like a facelift to me. Has that plasticky quality of a Faye Dunaway but not as extreme. She is also a breast cancer survivor, btw
Josh: I am no country fan but he was pretty good. But how hard is it to copy Garth Brooks? I do a mean Friends In LOw Places after a couple of beers.
Trenyce: Really good, not her best but given the genre, it worked. I am worried that she did much worse than her usual and given the general goodness of last nght, she could be in bottomthree, but not that worried.
Kim L was at her best. But she might rethink wearing jeans. Not a good look on fat chicks.
Corey- took a shower and missed him. He sucke don the recap though/ Bottom three
Carmen- missed her too but I am sure she sucked and will be bottom three.
Kim C- trashy trashy looking chick. Good example of someone who should not be dying their hair blonde. But I do like her voice. Problem is that we already have a Melissa Etheridge.
Rickey- Did somebody castrate him? Not only does he have a weird, lite fm, dentist music singig voice, he talks like that.
Ruben- Just looking at this guy puts a huge grim on my face. I love him. He is the only person whose CD I would definitely buy, without knowing the genre. This guy is a star.
Julia- much better, but again, how hard is that song to sing. I hate her, teh way her face gets all faux sincere looking when she sings. She might not be bottom three (unless people aggregate all her performances).
Clay- How this guy is going to avoid the bottom three is beyond me. He is twenty going on sixty with a facelift. He sings the same ballady shit every week (and I thought that before Simon backed me ) and he still belongs opening up for Siegfried and Roy. WHich is a compliment. I am sure lots of gay youth from the middle of buttfuck nowhere who like to sing horrible ballads would love the gig. I think he belongs squarely in the bottom three. He just sucks and has no range. I am sure when he does disco, it will be a balld disco thing (assuming it isnt Its Raining Men), like If I cant have you.
All in all, I cant call the bottom three for sure but I will go with Corey bc there are a lot of black men here and he is the worst, Julia based on an aggregate of her past shit (but I still feel she might have enough comeback votes), Carmen (except that its her birthday so I dunno and this was probably her genre), Trenyce for going from outstanding to just very very good (only perosn who got worse) and Clay for doing the same old loungey shit. Too close to call.

EO: I agree that Kim C's range is only an octave. I originally typed that, but then decided to be generous.
As for Clay, while I absolutely love the vocal quality of his voice, I agree that last night didn't demonstrate an ability to be country-rock versatile. I was expecting him to suck at Motown too, but he was surprisingly good. I also grudgingly agree that he probably shouldn't win. He would really be astoundingly wonderful on Broadway, thoough... and would put out some amazing work on a cast recording.

Now that we are at war, I think people should not question the president and should support our troops."
Let's put aside the issue of whether political dissent is appropriate in times of war - if you are idiotic enough to believe that it is not, there is no point in us wasting a cyber-second on the topic. Rather, I propose a little quiz. If the above is even close to an accurate rendition of Miss Texas' answer, then what do we call those two statements when taken together? Come on people, this is an easy one. I'll give you a hint - everyone thinks it is my favorite word.

Okay. What is with guys and blondes?
I don't know. As was evident from my previous post, generally blondes are not the type of woman I would go for. It's just that when the five finalists on television, two in particular stood out. The girl from Texas and the girl from Michigan. The girl from Texas ruined it for me when she opened her mouth. She was a little too Babs Jensen for me.
There was another blonde from Alabama, I think, who didn't do it for me.
So, by default the one left who I felt was outstanding was a blonde, even though I generally don't go for them.

You'd have to ask a woman, although, what can I say, chicks just generally dig me for my green/blue/hazel eyes. You're just jealous.

I am always totally confused when someone describes their type to me. Am I the only one who doesn't have a type?
I don't know. All I can explain is the type I historically favor. It is probably a result of spending what I would consider my formative years going to school in the "Little Italy" section of the town where I grew up. When I got to the age where I actually started paying attention to women, the hottest ones were invariably the Italian girls. That's why I've always had sort of a weakness for women with dark hair, dark eyes and olive skin.
I recently visited into one of my best friends from high school. He runs a restaurant. He was having a conversation with a woman who fit this general description when I came in. After she left, he talked about how attractive she was. The funny thing was, when he talked about his SO (and I my wife) we both laughed about the fact that neither one of them fit the type we usually would go for, so there are notable exceptions to everything.

I love all kinds of women. All colors. Different shapes (with good ratios, of course). Skin color, eye color and hair color is 100% irrelevant to me. Give me a girl with interesting looks over a bland blonde with a vacant stare any day.
And you disprove your rule by the exception. I love all kinds of women (but I prefer interesting looking women over bland blondes). Do you mean to imply that all blondes are vacuous barbie dolls? If I didn't know better, I'd start to think you were a hater.
Maybe you can think of it in terms of something else. This may be a bad analogy, but think of it in terms of ice cream. I like all kinds of ice cream, but I like some better than others. Given the choice between chocolate, vanilla or strawberry, I'd generally choose strawberry. I like them all, so sometimes, I'll buy Neapolitan Ice cream, so I can have some of each. Usually, the strawberry is consumed before the other flavors, but it doesn't mean I don't appreciate the others or throw the carton out once the strawberry is gone, it just means I have a preference for one flavor over another. That said, all of them are good.

Given, my choice of the perfect girl is somewhat homogenous (Halle isn't really exotic, after all), I may sound a bit hypocritical here.
Just a bit.

And when I go to Cali, it's fun to play with the barbies. But not as fun as summer in NYC. All flavors, all over. It's fucking great.
I'm not from NYC. The best description I ever heard about the town I live in was from a reporter who said, "It's a great town, it has everything -- ONE of everything.

Concur. The two most lusted-after women in my freshman dorm were (1.) incredibly cool bookish chick who went on to become Rhodes scholar; and (2.) busty bottle blonde --- did I mention she had a huge rack? --- who giggled a lot and whose intelligence level seemed positively bovine. Which one you favored was a pretty accurate litmus test of your own intelligence.
What does the litmus test say if you hit them both?

Thanks, that was my first attempt at the TS/HardTaxMaster school of posting. I'm a mere piker compared with those guys.

Very funny. Especially enjoyed this quip about Harvey Weinstein Though there are so many great lines to choose from.

. A new Miramax project called Jersey Girl—wedding the overrated Kevin Smith and revolting star couple Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck—says everything about where he has taken the indie film movement that he once got so much credit for building up.
