Plus no one complained when Gwyneth Paltrow went brunette, so I don't see why Beyonce can't be blonde for a while.<BR/><BR/>However, the ghost of Coco Chanel should grab that "after" girl and force her to remove at least one pink heart-shaped accessory before she leaves the house -- preferably the weird face tattoo.beam aims northhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09640660445798329531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15350975.post-91474038570688968402008-04-18T12:31:00.000-07:002008-04-18T12:31:00.000-07:00Reading about the new law proposed in France, and ...Reading about the new law proposed in France, and now your post, just about sums it up for me. Looks like two parallel cultures are running here. Growing up in Europe (Norway), small breasts were 'it'. In fact, small 'everything' was the ideal. Anorexic. Looking at the models, this trend seems to still reign. Arriving in Tinseltown in 1990, I had the shock of my life. Big breasts, big behinds, blinding teeth... It was distressing, to say the least. Still is, but the constant bombardment of images has had some effect. And both cultures are so wrong. I'm trying to teach my daughters to look at the clothes and the style, not the person's body. Personally I think 'style' is defined by someone who's completely comfortable on the inside and then manage to reflect this with what they wear on the outside. That, to me, is pure beauty. Thanks for another great post, Grace. You always make me think :-)Birgittehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13085707175735448759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15350975.post-20270834978690937572008-04-18T07:49:00.000-07:002008-04-18T07:49:00.000-07:00Wow - really powerful post, thank you.

Okay - heading into 2nd graders classroom where I will feel much better. :)Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02175591212176951287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15350975.post-2046305682599887632008-04-18T06:17:00.000-07:002008-04-18T06:17:00.000-07:00This is sad on so many levels.

I can appreciate the desire for change, but Beyonce and Jennifer Lopez with blonde hair simply support the notion of "white is right" in terms of beauty and acceptability. That is tragic.Ginahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13631687084204022574noreply@blogger.com
