16 Things Blondes Are Tired Of Hearing

Please hold your blonde joke.

Another day, another Elle Woods comment. Can’t us blondes get through the day without someone harping at us over the typical stereotypes about who we are? I never understood why a person was judged based upon the hair color they were born with, or the hair color they choose to have (unless you dye your hair blue like Kylie Jenner, I’m still trying to understand why that’s a trend). Nevertheless, as it should be assumed, not everyone is the same. Not all blondes like bright colors and Lilly Pulitzer, and not all blondes claim to identify with Marilyn Monroe. I think the best suggestion to give to people before they make such radical claims is to stop judging a book by its cover. Or in this case, stop judging a blonde by her hair color.


1. "Is Elle Woods your spirit animal?"

She could be, but who doesn’t love a self-driven woman with an ambitious mindset to destroy a man, but I digress.

2. "Is that your natural hair color?"

So funny you asked! Actually, my hair is dirty blonde but platinum blonde seems more fitting for me.

3. "Oh wow, you get good grades at school?"

Yes, when I’m not dying my hair I’ll take the occasional trip to the library …

4. "You must really like the color pink!"

Hmmm, think what you want, but black more or less suits me since it matches my soul.

5. "You’re probably not into sports, right?"

*Watches football*

“What inning is this?!”

LOL, just kidding; I’m very into sports and I know the difference between them.

6. "You must have such a bubbly personality."

If you count having a resting bitch face and being completely unapproachable as I hide behind my sunglasses "bubbly," then yes, I have a bubbly personality.

7. "Your wardrobe must consist of all things preppy."

Maybe it would if I was vacationing in Nantucket for the summer; however, I probably own more workout apparel than anything.

8. "What sorority are you in?"

*Rolls eyes so far that they get stuck in the back if your head*

9. "You were probably a cheerleader in high school."

Actually, I played soccer and ran track.

10. "You look like you’re from L.A. because your hair is so light."

I didn’t know geographic locations were defined by hair color! News to me …

11. "You definitely like Pumpkin Spiced Lattes from Starbucks!"

Wrong — you picked the wrong stereotype to assume. I’m a regular at Starbucks thank you very much.

12. "Do you actually think blondes have more fun?"

Probably.

13. "You must encompass the typical “white girl” stereotype."

And if I do…?

14. "Is that daddy’s credit card you’re using?"

No, it’s mine! I work hard for the money.

15. "So all of your friends are blonde too?"

Maybe if they came to the salon with me to dye their hair they would be.

16. "I’m surprised about you; I thought you would be a lot ditsier."

I’m surprised about you, too! I thought you would be a lot smarter.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.
