Your hair color says a lot about your personal style or your gene bank, depending upon who you are. Here are the pros and cons of your color, weather you were born or bottled that way.

Your always hear about "iconic blondes", but what does that really mean? I have no idea.

Pros of being a blonde:
1. gentlemen prefer you.
2. you can dye your hair crazy colors that one commonly sees on a Troll doll with common household items like cool aid, and food coloring.
3. Almost everyone in Hollywood is blonde, so if you wanted to gatecrash the Oscars, all you needed was a borrowed Pucci dress (Oh, and an invitation)

Cons of being a blonde:
1. people assume that they are more intelligent than you. This is not true, since we all know that you can easily spit off the first 500 digits of pi.
2. if you swim in a pool to much, you get green hair. you might like this, though.
3. you have the same hair color as Brad Pitt.

Famous blondes:
- Ginger Rodgers
- Brigitte Bardot
- Princess Diana

2. your hair color is ideal for hiding in a swamp or forest.
3. you can change your color from one brown to another and it looks natural.
