Blonde Roots

Although anti-discrimination legislation has outlawed most of the excesses of the past, it has failed completely to inhibit the spread of blonde jokes.

Why should some of the most talented people in our society be victimised because they have the good fortune to have fair hair?

How often has an eminently qualified person finished a completely satisfactory job interview only to hear a snigger and the word "blonde" as she was closing the door, then to discover in due course that a less-capable brunette had been given the position?

While some people laugh at blonde jokes and others angrily reject them, St. Marys hair stylist, Di Zaster, has done something about it.

The proprietor of Di's Tresses has developed a new dyeing technique to allow blondes to retain their natural beauty while overcoming unwarranted prejudice.

Ms Zaster offers a "root dyeing" process that will allow blondes to look as though they are really brunettes who bleached their hair but have allowed the dark roots to grow out.

It's guaranteed to add twenty points to their perceived IQ.

Unfortunately she can't do much to help me . . . I'm an eggshell blond.
