The Blonde Principle

We know blondes have all the fun (or so we are told). But are they seeking to monopolize all the fun? In which case, are they are a cartel more powerful than OPEC? Should the FTC be concerned? These musings arise out of a phenomenon I have come to term, “The Blonde Principle.” The premise is simple – ask a blonde about an attractive non-blonde and you are sure to elicit a dismissive remark of disdain. For instance, apparently two of my blonde co-workers think famed Channel 9 meteorologist, Kathy Sabine, is “not all that.” Now we know that Kathy’s coy facial expressions and occasional Jackie Kennedy (remember Jackie was not Jackie O when she sported her famed suits) suits may annoy some women, but to say she is “not all that” is at best a statement in denial mode, if not somewhat delusional. What is more puzzling is that these comments came from two blondes who had every reason not to be in denial or be delusional and/or dismissive about Ms. Sabine. These blondes, Serena Algeria and T (can you tell I have changed the names to protect the innocent? I also offered them their choice of monikers for my blog – hence T for the T who has yet to pick her blog name; meanwhile Serena might have mistakenly thought I was posing the “If you were a porn star, what name would you have?” question. Even though I doubt many streets are named Algeria. Perhaps she approached the question as “If you were a porn star, who is also on the “watch list,” what name would you have?), both have no reason to be dismissive – they are attractive, so it can’t be jealousy over looks; they are successful, so it can’t be jealousy over that; they are smart, so it can’t be jealousy over Ms. Sabine’s AMS certification. So what drives their reaction? Surely it must be The Blonde Principle, i.e., blondes want monopoly on the attention. Granted I am hardly employing the reasoning of Descartes on this issue, but there is no other objective explanation. Rest assured dear readers, I will continue to search for the answer, but until I find a better one – it would have to be The Blonde Principle.
