Blonde, but not Dumb

Here are some of the ways you could say I am a “dumb blonde”:


Everywhere I go, I care about how I look.

I spend hours in front of the mirror putting on make-up and doing my hair.

I didn’t know what a lay-up was until two years ago.

I have no idea how to make Jello.

I love to say the word “like” a lot; however I try hard not to.

I like to play with my hair and twist it around my fingers.

I laugh at things that are not usually funny.

I can’t spell the word “embarrassed.”

It takes me two hours to get ready.

I have three times more clothes than my closet can hold.

I can’t live with out my cell phone.

It takes me about six times longer than most people to understand a joke.

I don’t like to attend church.

I hate anything that I will get dirty.

I go to see a math tutor about twice a week.

I don’t know how to play hockey or volleyball.

I don’t eat fast food because I am afraid it will give me acne.

           I never “asked” to be a dumb blonde. Dumb blonde is only what many label me when they first meet me. My hair isn’t even that blonde! I actually have some red hair, some brown hair, some black hair, and some blonde hair. But like many people who have blonde hair, I am automatically thrown into the "dumb blonde," category, regardless of my intelligence.
           I come from a family who’s very educated. Both of my parents went to a very well-known college, and both hold jobs of high status.  My parents both are very involved with my life; they make sure that I am obtaining all of the knowledge I can, and that I am getting straight A’s. 
          Just because Jessica Simpson, Brittany Spears, and Paris Hilton are all blonde and don't appear to be very intelligent, doesn’t mean that all blondes are unintelligent! Compare me with a typical "dumb blonde," we are nothing alike.
