Are blond hair and blue eyed Women no longer the ideal? (highlights, fashion)

[XodoX]

I'm german, I got light-blond hair...perhaps like Anna Nicole Smith had ( but mine is real ) Got real blue eyes too.
Sometimes it sucks, because you automatically come from Sweden or Norway. But I am german!! There are many germans that got blond hair/ blue eyes!
That's just some weird stereotype.

Being multi racial is in, white is out. And with that thinking being blond haired and blue eyed is so 20th Century! Agree?

When and where were blond and blue eyed women considered the perfect ideal of beauty??
It must've been only in certain parts of the world.

Every one has different taste.. who cares what the "Ideal" is?
Attractive people come in all colors hair/skin/eyes and in every culture there is a different beauty ideal. Just do what makes you happy, that will make you beautiful
I have never met a truly happy person that was ugly.

Beauty has much more to do with symmetry and proportion. Just because one notices the blonde/blue first, because it's lighter, doesn't mean one is more attracted to that. Depending on a persons personal preference, the color scheme can enhance beauty but it doesn't create beauty.

Nowadays, you can go down to the Walgreen's and be whatever color you want. Shue, I can go to the bazar across town and buy me some blue contacts for $15 dollars too!! lol What are you worried about? Embrace your beauty and forget about all the rest.

We in northern Europe usually notice the darker hair/eye colors first.

Naturally black hair is quite rare over here, and many people dye their hair black.

Here there's also undoubtedly more blue eyed people than those of other colors.

okay,okay, I see your point. I should have said, one notices the color scheme that is more rare in their society. Where I live blue/blonde (though the hair is often dyed blonde) is also very common.

I just went to the hairdresser's today and couldn't help but notice that all of the employees had black hair! I assume most of them dyed, of course.

I didn't pay attention to the eye colors. Over here, blue eyes are the "default" so to say.

i just know that whenever i see a white lion on an animal special i get this fluttery feeling inside it's a feeling of respect but at the same time being able to see it as one of the pack. they're very special
