'Blonde Is Beautiful'

'Blonde Is Beautiful' is article about a woman who thinks that King Kong was disturbing because Kong fell in love with a blonde. She believes blondes are the 'most beautiful' in the media and that's why the girl was a blonde in the movie. I think she's over-thinking the movie a little bit. Not all leading woman roles are blonde, maybe Naomi Watts was just the best actress for the role. The writer explains that all television, movies, magazines, etc. are only interested in blonde women and think they are the most beautiful. My problem with that was Angelina Jolie, a brunette, was named most beautiful woman in the world. How can this writer say that only blondes are considered pretty in the media when someone who is a dark haired woman, was named most beautiful. I don't believe that media only portrays blondes as beautiful when there are women like Angelina, Jennifer Aniston and Rachel Bilson constantly in celebrity news.

Many other people are considered beautiful, not just blonde girls. Many blondes mentioned in the article have changed their hair color to a brown or dark color, such as Ashlee Simpson and Mary-Kate Olsen. There are many Blondes that are considered beautiful, but beauty has many different aspects, not just hair color. I think the media is more focused on body type and facial features than the color of someone's hair. Thin and fit is the 'ideal' body type for a famous female, if they don't have that body type then they are usually critized. How many times have you opened a Celebrity News magazine and seen women critized for their hair color compared to the shape and toneness of their body? People like Beyonce, Mary-Kate and Ashley, Britney Spears and Jessica Simpson are all beautiful because of their great facial features and very fit bodies. Although i believe the author might have over -exaggerated on the 'bonde is beautiful' topic, i do agree that many people have taken the idea that they need a certain hair color to be considered pretty because more and more of African American celebrities have changed their natural hair color to a lighter color. I think parent's can tell their children that they are beautiful the way they are but it's mostly school and other kid's opinions that persuay someone to change something about themselves. Parent's don't influence a child as much, it's more what other kid's want you to look like that makes someone change something. I don't believe parents can do too much to help their child realize they are fine the way they are except for always trying to keep their confidence high, but other kid's do have an influence. It's harder for kids to get confidence from their peers because teens are much more harsh than adults. Kid's try to impress their peers instead and if they would all just realize that image isn't everything then there would be a lower rate of people taking drastic measures to please everyone else.
