Being Blonde Means Being Strong.

There are countless films and shows that portray their strong and independent main character as a person with blonde hair. Why is it that a female character who knows their strength is preferred with blonde hair? Does being blonde have some sort of dominating aspect that gives a character their will and power? Does being blonde give you strength or does having strength only apply to blondes?

As we have read in "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes", Lorelei is a woman who finds strength in who she is through her looks and charm. Contributing to her appearance is her blonde hair. Through out the book, she uses her appearance as a way to get the things she wants. By this I mean that if all it takes to manipulate a man is by bashing her eyelashes and twirling her hair, she definitely will use that to her advantage because she knows that her looks is her strength.

 In the film adaption of "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes", Lorelei is played by Marilyn Monroe. At that time period when the film came out, Marilyn Monroe was already famously known for her acting career with the help of her gorgeous blonde hair. She is also known as an actress who believed in her beauty and showed strength in the way she presented herself to the world.
