Mystique Of The Blonde Mystique of the Blonde Blonde!! The first words that come to mind are dumb, ditsy, or even snobby. In today’s society, blondes are discriminated against just because of the hair color. There are blonde jokes or even rude blonde statements such as, “You’re so blonde.” Meaning that that person is so dumb or stupid. But, there are also the blondes that have become so successful over the years and even centuries, that they aren’t even worthy of being called dumb or stupid. Great examples would be Marilyn Monroe and Madonna. Marilyn Monroe was usually cast in the "dumb blonde roles." In all her film roles, from Niagara to The Misfits (1961), Monroe portrayed an object of desire and exhibition. Her basic character grew out of the dumb blonde archetype, but Monroe's dumb blonde could not be pinned down to any particular origin or social class. She was defined only by what was shown on the screen, with neither a previous history nor seemingly a future. Frequently her characters were nameless (Love Happy, 1949, The Seven Year Itch, 1955), further accentuating her status as an object. She usually had no discernable job and when she did, it blonde, dumb, monroe, madonna, dance, marilyn, even, out, blondes, years, year, world, today’s, time, successful, stupid, roles, portrayed, people, object, love, look, long, just, great, future, example, come, both, after, you’re, york, worthy, working, worked
