Whether or not
this has to do directly with Bettie can be debated, but there is
something to be said about such observations. Being a non-blonde
myself I remember the pressure as a teen about
getting highlights or going blonde. I always wanted to go black.
The disgusted faces were insulting but I held my ground. When I
finally did (unknowingly after the Bettie Page uprising) I got a lot
of positive feedback. The most memorable was in an elevator.
“You have Bettie
Page hair,” I heard.
I smiled at the
guy standing next to me. I said, "Thank you," without really
thinking about what he was implying. |
