The research shows that the stereotype of blonde girl in the film Legally Blonde is still presented in this film through Elle’s beauty, appearance, life style and personality. While in this film, there is a special characteristic, which is not suitable with the stereotype that this film emphasizes. Elle Blonde is described as a blonde, who has a smart brain and good in education. So, her confidence of being a blonde girl makes her success.

Background of the Study Film is the illustration of the values that we hold in life, such as love and romance, hero and heroine, etc. It provides us with a giant mirror; a reflection of the values, the half-truths and the ideals of society. It does because the writers, directors and producers are successful at trapping into people’s personal emotional treasure crests and translating them into the film. Thus, a film plays a large part in formulating people’s attitudes, beliefs and ideals because they all incorporate perceived mediated reality back into their real lives. Nowadays, film is considered to be an important art form and a source of popular entertainment that people mostly like. Many films that raise many theories and criticisms such as feminism, religion, political, representation of a group of people and others emerge around the world. Some of them have become popular worldwide attractions. Talking about film, which raises representation of blonde stereotype, there are several films that describes blonde stereotype, such as 27 Dressed, the Hunny Bunny, etc. 27 Dressed film presents a blonde girl who will get married. In preparing her wedding, she wants to have perfect appearance, especially in her dressing. By this film, we can conclude that blonde, in general, always makes their appearance perfect. Another example is the Hunny Bunny film. It shows a very stereotype blonde girl who gets joke by others because of her plain and innocent blonde. This film also shows people that others always underestimate blondes and blondes are often being a joke for them. Legally Blonde movie is adopted the idea of blonde girls

Although the popularity and desirability of blonde hair in the West is well documented, since the 1950s, blonde hair has also generated many negative associations and these have contributed to myths around blondeness. In particular, women who dye their hair blonde find themselves in a paradoxical position; they simultaneously evoke desire and derision. This thesis uses the model of feminine masquerade outlined by Joan Riviere (1929) as a locus for discussing the transgressive potential of the knowing use of blondeness as a sign. When women wear blondeness in this way they embrace it as an oblique means to access privilege. This self-reflexivity allows women to enter sites of power that they are otherwise excluded from. Drawing on ideas of the carnivalesque, as described by Mikhail Bakhtin (1968), this thesis also proposes that the carnivalesque is employed by women in order to transgress patriarchal boundaries through an ironic masquerade of the archetypal blonde.

  • Mixed Blessings: Women and Blonde Hair
    Free Inquiry In Creative Sociology Volume 31 No. 1 May 2003 47 MIXED BLESSINGS: WOMEN AND BLONDE HAIR Druann Maria Heckert, Fayetteville State University ABSTRACT Blonde women constitute a curious and interesting case- in the context of deviance-in that they are to some extent positive deviants, due to the fact that they have been considered as surpassing normative expectations of appearance and have received some positive evaluation and treatment. Yet, they have also been subject to stigmatization, or negative evaluation and treatment. Thus, the reaction has not been consistent. Qualitative research served as the basis for this study; twenty blonde women were interviewed. Firstly, in some respects, blonde women are positive deviants; they have been idealized in Western traditions and thus encounter positive evaluations. The blonde women interviewed for this study were cognizant of this fact and reported that positive attention and positive treatment were common experiences. Neverthe­ less, blonde women are also recipients of negative evaluations. The blonde women in this sample analyzed the culturally constructed stereotypes that have been applied to them, as follows: innocence, sexy/fun, easy and dumbness/stupidity. They also presented strategies that they had to develop to deal with the last stereotype, which included the following: ignoring the stereotype or joking about it, self-fulfilling the prophecy, overcompensating (including taking on the ice princess role), fighting back, and passing. Also, blonde women felt that their relationships with other women were negatively impacted by their hair color. In essence, blonde women experience mixed evaluations. Deviance is complex as are reactions to ants, depending on the audience.

  • Hair Color Stereotypes and Their Associated Perceptions in Relationships and the Workplace Michelle Beddow University of Michigan–Dearborn
    Hair Color Stereotypes and Their Associated Perceptions in Relationships and the Workplace Michelle Beddow University of Michigan–Dearborn ABSTRACT. Previous research has shown that people associate positive and negative personality traits with certain hair colors. Participants view blondes as attractive but dumb, brunettes as studious and competent, and redheads as smart but temperamental. The present study examined the effects of stereotypes with respect to hair color, setting, and gender. Participants rated a male or female model on several personal characteristics (e.g., attractiveness, intelligence) based on a description and photo of the model. The model was depicted in both a work setting and a dating setting and was shown in the photo with 1 of 3 hair colors: blonde, brown, or red. Results indicated that hair color stereotypes are not only linked to various personal traits, but are affected by the setting as well. When placed in a setting with certain stereotypes, the stereotypes associated with that hair color are augmented. t is the nature of human beings to categorize degree of flexibility in order to accommodate any everyday life.

    Volume 36, Issue 1 Are Blondes Really Dumb? Jay L Zagorsky The Ohio State University Abstract Discrimination based on appearance has serious economic consequences. Women with blonde hair are often considered beautiful, but dumb, which is a potentially harmful stereotype since many employers seek intelligent workers. Using the NLSY79, a large nationally representative survey tracking young baby boomers, this research analyzes the IQ of white women and men according to hair color. Blonde women have a higher mean IQ than women with brown, red and black hair. Blondes are more likely classified as geniuses and less likely to have extremely low IQ than women with other hair colors, suggesting the dumb blonde stereotype is a myth. I thank Peter-John Gordon for providing helpful advice. Any remaining errors are mine. Citation: Jay L Zagorsky, (2016) ''Are Blondes Really Dumb?'', Economics Bulletin, Volume 36, Issue 1, pages 401-410 Contact: Jay L Zagorsky - [email protected]. Submitted: September 11, 2015. Published: March 17, 2016. 1. Introduction Discrimination based on a person’s appearance is a reality in today’s world. Daniel Hamermesh and co-authors starting in the 1990s took the discrimination literature in a new direction by focusing not on skin tone or ethnicity, but on beauty (Biddle and Hamermesh, 1998, Hamermesh, 2011, 2006, Hamermesh and Biddle, 1994, Hamermesh and Parker, 2005). Hamermesh found that beauty pays, with more attractive people receiving larger economic benefits such as higher wages and easier access to loans. Subsequent research found that beauty impacted political chances (Berggren et al., 2010, Lutz, 2010), teaching evaluations (Ponzo and Scoppa, 2013, Sussmuth, 2006), earnings as a prostitute (Arunachalam and Shah, 2012), professional golfing success (Ahn and Lee, 2014), the chance of being a criminal (Mocan and Tekin, 2010), being a celebrity (Gergaud et al., 2012) and wages of real estate agents (Salter et al., 2012).

  • Legally Blonde: a Challenge on Blonde Stereotype By: Diah Nur Aini C 0301022
    Legally Blonde: A Challenge on Blonde Stereotype By: Diah Nur Aini C 0301022 CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION A. Background of the Study “A stereotype is a standardized conception or image of a specific group of people or objects. It exaggerates and exploits one or two attributes of a given group or class and applies to all member of that group without any distinction. It has a purpose to set that group apart from the mainstream.” (Jack Nachbar and Kevin Lause, p. 336). Jokes about the stereotypes are always present in everyday life and these stereotypes may affect these people’s lives and view on them. As we know that stereotype of something is not true, but some still believe that there is something behind this stereotyping. Movie is one of the biggest influential media in society. It can affect society’s beliefs and values. There are many different harmful stereotypes today that are exposed in the media, including movie. These stereotypes can result in name calling, prejudice, and hurt feeling. “Dumb,”ditzy,”fun-loving,” and “flirtatious” are the attributes which follow the blonde women. The most popular stereotype about blonde women is “the dumb blonde.” There are a lot of jokes about this which is 2 known by the society. People think that blonde women are stupid and empty headed. However, this stereotype refers to the beautiful one, the ugly does not count. This stereotype has been believed by the people since so many years ago. One of the movies that take the theme of blonde stereotypes is Legally Blonde. This movie is very straight to strike the stereotype of blonde women; we can clearly see it from the title.

  • Legally Blonde: a Challenge on Blonde Stereotype By: Diah Nur Aini C 0301022
    Legally Blonde: A Challenge on Blonde Stereotype By: Diah Nur Aini C 0301022 CHAPTER II LITERARY REVIEW A. Popular Culture Popular culture is about ‘satisfaction’ all right, said Nachbar and Lause. It is ensuring people to get what they want no matter them need it or not. Popular culture refers to the products of human work and thought which are accepted and approved by a large member of community or population. (Nachbar and Lause, 1992:14). There are two elements on the definition above, which is ‘the acceptance’ and ‘a large member of community’. That two elements cannot be ignored because if one of it is eliminated, than it would not be a popular culture anymore. Other definition of popular culture which is similar to Nacbar and Lause is stated by John Storey. According to Storey, “Popular culture is simply culture which is widely favored or well liked by many people. (Storey, 2001: 6). However, popular necessarily implies an important element of choice as well. (Nachbar and Lause, 1992:10). It means that the more people like the product or event, the more popular it would be. “Popular culture forms the vast majority of the artifacts and events which compose our daily lives, but it does not consist of our entire culture. It surrounds us 10 but does not close other opportunities for existence apart from it.” (Nachbar and Lause, 1992:15).It is because all of us participate in at least two other kinds of culture. The cultures are folk culture and elite culture. Folk culture refers to the products of human work and thought (culture) that have developed within a limited community and that are communicated directly from generation to generation.
