Robert N EmersonTrend - The Brunette Invasion
October 12th 2008 01:31
While it might be sexiest or superficial, I have always found the physical beauty trends in Hollywood to be interesting, since they often lead to those trends being adopted for some years to come. Look at the extreme thinness that came out of Hollywood during the 70s to 80s, the waif crazy of almost boy-like, or prepubescent woman, it wrought some unhealthy expectations for years to come. Let's not forget the bleaching of hair and over perming, in order to get the Farrah wave, or some other oddity of coiffing.
My preference has always been out of step with Hollywood, as I prefer browns, reds, and black hair, which I guess means I'm not a gentleman, to reference a popular old film. There is something sultry about the natural depths of a heroine with dark hair, as well as a villainness. However, up until recent years, that thought was totally out of step with Hollywood, that was until now.
We're entering a period now where more and more brunettes are gaining roles of notes, heading shows, and being cast as heroines, instead of the unlock friend of such, and it is a good trend, as it matches keeping what's naturally there, instead of covering it up or changing it. Even a dirty, natural blonde is better than the blown out, dyed out Paris Hilton look that some seem to like, yet I find abhorrent.
Now we're seeing Jaime Alexander, Megan Fox, Eliza Dushku, Sarah Michelle Geller (not always dying it, now), Natalie Portman, and the enticingly intelligent Pauley Perrette who are all intelligent, lovely young woman with darker locks, brains, and even a bit of brawn thrown into their rolls. I still holdout a hope for a Portman follow-up to The Professional and her roll as Mathilda, somehow, some way, I almost see a vigilante hitman with an edge to her. Don't you?
You know, I almost forgot to mention Alexa Davalos, a lovely young woman, too with a solid air of depth to her, too. Her turn in the Chronicles of Riddick as as enjoyable and strong as her Gwen Raiden in Angel. It is a good time to be a fan of the ravenlocked, crimson curls, and umber coiffed.
Very good time.
