Latvia “Blonde Day” parade!
06/25/2010
Alright. So in 2008 and 2009 Latvia was hit especially hard with the recession.
The Latvian people obviously thought, “What on Earth will we do about it????”
This is a “solution” that they came up with:
Let’s have a Blonde Day.
Yes, that’s right.
To increase the morale of the country, the “Latvian Association of Blondes” decided to put on an annual “Blonde Day” parade.
Please go visit their website. I beg you. It’s too funny.
“YOU’RE INVITED TO THE BLONDEST PARTY, LIKE, EVER!”
Apparently this parade is also supposed to put a stop to the stereotypes about blonde people.
…
Are you kidding me?
This is supposed to show people that the stereotypes about blondes aren’t true?
But, my dear Latvian Association for Blondes, don’t you realize that what you’re doing is putting on a giant show of those exact stereotypes that you’re trying to get rid of?
It’s a parade of blonde women in tiny pink shirts lugging around chihuahuas, for god’s sake!
Who does that remind you of?
Paris fucking “I love pink and tiny dogs!” Hilton.
Who is basically the dumbest blonde you can find!
I just don’t understand what these women are thinking.
They are all channeling Paris Hilton to get rid of stereotypes about blondes????
And this is also supposed to increase national morale?
What the hell.
Let me repeat the premise of this parade once again, just to be sure:
“Dress code – Pink. Tiny dog – Optional”
“You have to love the colour pink, although you don’t have to wear it all the time” — Marika Gederte, president of the Latvian Association for Blondes
“…Although high-heeled shoes are a must all the time!!!!”
“And one of the main rules – WE LOVE REAL MEN!!!!!!!!!!”
As I understand the situation, women who wear slutty, boob-baring pink shirts and pom-poms, who lug little dogs around and who, most importantly, LOVE “REAL” MEN are protesting against the stereotypes of blondes.
My brain refuses to compute. I do not comprehend!
What’s even funnier is that the said president of the Blonde Association also states the following:
“We stand for a healthy lifestyle and protection of our children!”
…How? HOW?
How is wearing blister-happy, ankle-killing high heels all the time a healthy lifestyle?
How in hell is dressing sluttily “protecting our children”????
I’m sorry. “Blonde Day” really does nothing to dispel stereotypes for me.
With that said, it is incredibly hilarious though.
Oh, Latvia.
I really hope that this parade does something for your national morale and recession issues.
Even if it doesn’t, at least it’s something to laugh about.

Lighten up.
Girls just wanna have fun
I know, and I respect that. I would say, “oh, cool”, if these girls just decided to have a Blonde Parade for the heck of it. That’s fun.
I just find it a bit ironic that this parade is supposed to dispel stereotypes of blondes when the people in it actually embrace these very stereotypes in the parade. Do you know what I mean?
Thanks for the comment.
