An Age Old Experiment

Do blondes have more fun? Or do brunettes? what about red heads? Well, it's time to find out for sure. And who will be my unsuspecting subject for this experiment? Myself of course. Over the course of however long it takes for me to complete this, I will attempt to answer this age old query. I have, in fact, already begun. For most of my life I have been a brunette. The shade has varied but the identification with the other brunette babes of the world remained the same. Now, however, all that has changed. I have, in my opinion, segued out of the brunette world and now hover in strawberry blonde land. My intention is to spend some time here and then move lighter into solidly blonde domain. Now, if the saying is true, I should experience increased levels of funness. This being a fairly objective measurement, you'll just have to trust me. I promise to report any spikes in fun levels truthfully and as objectively as possible. If at the end I determine that indeed, blondes do have more fun then I will remain as such. If they do not in fact have more fun than I will switch back to my old faithful- brunette. Only time can tell.

nice use of a gender and feminism in art history slide photo! the masquerade represent!

also - i guess that what you are doing now could be categorized as embarking upon a journey in which you are increasing your agency whilst simultaneously retreating behind the assumed characteristics and foibles of femininity.
