Title: Ughhhhhhh......
Review: This book should have been titled, "Natalia Ilyin's whimsical and subjective musings about her life, having little if anything to do with the roots of the blonde myth in our culture." A discussion of the blonde myth within American culture that the book is purported to contain is nowhere to be found. Rather, we find a blurry barrage of Ilyin's personal memoirs and reflections on the meaning of blondeness in her own life. Ilyin's "culture" is replaced and limited by her own subjective experiences. The text would have been more suitable for an autobiography, not a commentary on blondeness in our culture. The book's title and back cover description betray its actual content. Unless your dying to know more about Natalia Ilyin's perceptions, this book will fall deeply short of your expectations.
