Oh Mary-Kate. I love you. I really, really do. You were impossible cute on Full House. I’ll happily watch your made for TV spy-caper movies when I’m sick in bed at home and I’m incredibly excited that you seem to have taken up eating again. (Please call Kate Bosworth and tell her how much fun eating is. Please?) I’ll even succumb to an older sister like chuckle at your crazy-bag-lady bohemian outfits every once in a while. Although your bag in this picture does look like a bedazzled canteen, I’ll leave that commentary to the lovely ladies over at Bag Snob. (Hi girls! Don’t you love MK’s shoes?) What I will not tolerate however is the hair. You have pretty hair (when you wash it) and that golden honey color you had going for awhile was awesome. It brought out your rosy cheeks and complemented your pretty blue eyes. The blonde has to go. It makes you look like you’re fourteen and your mis-guided mother decided to let you copy Christina Aguilera’s old Hollywood style just to shut you up. Although the Marilyn look has become a bit tired on Christina, she can pull it off and she rocks it well. You, can not.
It’s time a for a beauty snob PSA. Platinum blonde is not for everybody. I know it looks appealing, blondes have more fun and all that, but the wrong shade of blonde on the wrong shade of skin can wash you out completely and make you look like a strung out hooker, looking for your next fix. If you’re determined to go blonde, have a serious and long talk with your colorist about what shade would complement your skin the best. There’s nothing wrong with being a dark blonde or golden blonde. If your hairdresser isn’t up for advising you, find a new one!! The first one probably didn’t care about making you look good, which should be the goal of every stylist, no matter who they’re working for.
