    'The cult of blondeness' seems equally spread throughout the world, and I'm afraid it is not reserved for the United States only. Numerous blondes walking around the town of Zagreb, where I live (and trillions of jokes connected with them), prove this theory.

    Yet I don't fully understand why you bother yourself with this 'phenomenon,' as I don't see any reason to worry about it. My best friend happens to be a 'non-natural' blonde, and it fits her. She looks really pretty, although I'd never change my natural brown color in such a drastic way. My point is that the choice of a hair color should be and is an individual thing. If the color blonde is making somebody happier about her or his appearence, making this person feel more self-confident or more 'desirable,' why should we make an issue of it?

    I am not an American, but I have American friends and relatives, and unfortunately, the stereotype you've described is pretty accurate in their case. They do see British citizens as 'Cheerio' and 'Five-o-clock tea' people with ridiculous accents. But there is a simple explanation for it: None of them has ever been to the United Kingdom, and their opinion is formed on the basis of TV and prejudice. But this refers only to my friends, not to Americans in general. I'm not considering myself any better than they are, though. There are countries and cultures I don't have the faintest idea about, apart from what I've seen in mass media.

    There is no better way to break silly (and a bit dangerous) general opinions like 'The Germans are reserved and square, while the French are overperfumed and fashionable' than to meet and talk with the actual people from those countries.
