BLONDES DO HAVE MORE FUN!

I have many stories, but here is a recent one.

I teach at a Jewish school, and Purim is a big holiday for us. We all dress up, including the teachers.

My normal appearance is demure; I have curly brown hair and I dress professionally. Well, on Purim, I dressed in a completely different manner. I had a long blonde wig with bangs, a la Barbie, fake eyelashes, a black slinky outfit and I looked very different. Some would say I was "hot."

It was so much fun to see the reactions this elicited from everyone. One of my seventh grade students shrieked every time she saw me and people at least did a double-take. Others did not recognize me at all and once they did, the adults laughed and complimented me on my new look. Middle schoolers told me I should dye my hair platinum blonde as it "looked good" on me. I had to reveal my true identify as I returned to my normal appearance the next day.

The most fun part of the day was the Purim skits performed by the teachers. There was one part where the hero selects the heroine of the story, Esther, as his queen. At the last minute, since they were short an actress, they shanghaied me to be a third female candidate in their rendition of "The Dating Game." I created a personality called "Cecilia" who had a high voice and was a total ditz.

The unexpected side effect of this was that the entire population of the second and third grade boys fell in love with "Cecilia." They followed me around for the rest of the day, declaring their love and desire to marry me.

Of course, the next day, when I returned normal, I had no fan club. The desire for blondes continues to live strongly in the young generation!
