If you've only one life, live it as a blonde" are the immortal words of a Clairol ad, and they set the stage for Kathy Phillips's treatment of the world of the blonde, natural or dyed, past or present, male or female. Complete with a "Blonde Bible" and "All you need to know about being blonde"--a practical guide to blonding techniques--here are blondes of all shapes and sizes, from film stars, and rock babes, to sports heroes and catwalk queens. The Vogue Book of Blondes heralds the sex kittens of the 1930s such as Jean Harlow and Veronica Lake, peroxide pop stars including Blondie and Billy Idol, male sex symbols such as Robert Redford and Leonardo DiCaprio, and blonde icons, from Grace Kelly and Marilyn Monroe to Princess Diana and Madonna. This beautifully illustrated compendium features the work of world class photographers such as David Bailey, Mario Testino, and Herb Ritts. If it's true that blondes have more fun, then The Vogue Book of Blondes is a perfect gift for the blonde or aspiring blonde in your life.

Not about real blondes,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Vogue Book of Blondes (Hardcover)
This book is not about blondes; it is about brunettes who bleach their hair. Real blondes - those who got their hair colour from their genes and not out of a bottle - will be disappointed, as there's nothing in this book that relates to them. There is a lot of interesting information about the bottle blondes like Jean Harlow, Marilyn Monroe and Madonna but real blondes are quite something different.

Sooo enjoyable to read... even for brunettes,
By "schlems" (Morristown, NJ) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Vogue Book of Blondes (Hardcover)
Very complete and informative, this book deals with the history and psychology of the so called dumb blondes. The text is brilliant and the pictures outstanding. Let's enjoy the icones such as Madonna or Marilyn Monroe (Brigitte Bardot, Catherine Deneuve etc) and the advices of the international who's who of colourists.
