I must suck at being blonde, because I lost my brush like a week and a half ago and I've yet to replace it.

In addition to not washing my hair, my other time savers are Aquaphor (makeup remover, eye cream), olive oil (cleanser/moisturizer), and PM Leave-in conditioner (skin lotion, hair, shave cream). Together they do it all. My skin looks better than it ever did buying lotions and potions at Sephora and so does my pocketbook.

Teen boys take the longest to "get ready" but that's more "There's Something About Mary" and less "Blondes Have More Fun".

But redheads are the most low-maintenance. They just try to dye their hair a beautiful raven black, cry when it turns out green, cut it all off, and get on with their day.

@andBegorrah: I'm blonde and tried dying my hair red for years and years and it would be beautiful for a few weeks and then turn orange.

On the upside, I never had to bleach it when I wanted to go pink!

@andBegorrah: Redheads who do so often get into other scrapes, like getting their friends drunk or getting stuck on a raft in the middle of a pond.

Please tell me you were refering to Anne of Green Gables..otherwise...my nerd is showing.

"But, do they mean blondes, or "blondes?" Because that already implies more time-investment, yes?"

Well, then, I guess those without carpet take REALLY long showers.

Maybe we blondes take longer showers because we always forget how to turn off the water.

Also, there's a specific "type" of person who is more likely to dye their hair blonde. This "type" would also be more likely to care about their appearance.

Edit cuz I don't want to bump: Sorry for sounding like I was making a generalization! I thought about including a disclaimer but figured it wasn't needed. It was one of those "all poodles are dogs but not all dogs are poodles" comments. I know lots of people dye their hair lots of different colors (including blonde), but I think there are certain types of women who are more likely to dye their hair blonde than brunette and who would care more about their appearance and that might skew the numbers.

It could have to do with hairwashing. Many of us blondes/lighter brown types have finer hair that cannot hide any oil to speak of, so daily hairwashing happens.

@acookieaday: as a result of another long thread about hair earlier this year, I - owner of fine, light brown hair - quit washing my hair every day. I get it wet in the shower, but only shampoo/condition every third day. IT CHANGED MY LIFE. Just try it, and you'll see your overall grease factor diminish dramatically.

@dreamweave: Ugh. I used to wash my hair every other day, but I'm going to have to go down to every day because I cut it short. The grease shows immediately! I'm blonde, but I've never had this problem before. My hair refuses to cooperate with anything ever.

Yes, it's disgusting/awesome.

@dreamweave: I'm totally with you about the not washing your hair everyday thing. But as someone who has been both blonde, and brunette (and black), I find that brown hair is A LOT easier to do this with. Brown hair on a non-wash day looks... about the same. Maybe it shows a BIT of grease. But when you're blonde and haven't washed? Your hair is a different colour pretty much! I try and stretch it out as long as I can because I know it's good for my hair but, by the 2nd or 3rd day? I look like I just came in from a rainstorm.

@thecameralovesyou: That reminds me of my freshman-year roommate. She took showers twice a week. Her hair was actually blonde and curly, but by the time she took a shower, it looked brown and straight. All that oil! It was disgusting! (And don't get my started on her foot stank).

Whatever, y'all. I know for a fact that like, 85% of the people here would cut off a foot to have Tyra Banks appear in their bedroom and brush their hair and tell them how special they are.

Don't lie.

I'm awaiting the follow-up post, wherein Diablo Cody is named the screenwriting savior.

Actually, come to think of it, a lot of my Barbies did end up being gymnasts-turned-pole dancers around the legs of my grandmother's dining room chairs. But, I didn't have any Ken dolls, making it a slightly feminist activity. This could work.

I just hope they stay true to the doll. The house should be completely open on one side and Ken should have no nipples or genitalia (so he could get naked in a pg movie, i think)... and a stylish stud earring.

Am I the only one who liked Life Size? Honestly. LL was good back in the day (though more nasal-y than I remember) and Tyra wasn't too devastatingly bad. Plus, this was before she went crazy and turned into Super Smize.

It's actually going to be a horror movie. The opposite of Teeth; When Barbie discovers that she is missing a certain something down there she goes on a murderous rampage, castrating men with her high heels. Then she goes on the run, disguising herself as an astronaut, a doctor, and a flight attendant among others. She meets Ken who has discovered a similar problem and they join forces, eventually going out in a blaze of glory ala Bonnie and Clyde.
