Victoria's Secret Model Miranda Kerr Goes Blonde, Launches Fragrance

Another brunette bites the dust!

Victoria's Secret spokesmodel Miranda Kerr revealed her newly lightened locks at last night's launch party for The Dream Angels Heavenly Enchanted Collection at The Grove in Los Angeles.

Kerr's hair color falls smack into the category of "blonded-brunette," one of my new favorite terms, recently coined by the gals over at DailyMakeover.com (thanks ladies!)

While Kerr looks absolutely gorgeous in her new locks (I mean, how could she not?), being a brunette myself I'm always a tad miffed when stars trade their dark locks for blonder pastures (see more offenders here). I've got nothing against light hair, but when you're already famous it just seems so...Hollywood.

But I digress. Back to the beauty news.

Victoria's Secret's new Heavenly Enchanted juice is a richer, more sensual version of their existing Heavenly fragrance. An Oriental-woody with top notes of sparkling raspberry and bergamot, a middle of peach nectar and jasmine, and a dry down of coconut milk and amber, the fragrance comes in a EDP, a sheer fragrance mist and a body cream. It's a limited edition, and is available in stores and online starting today.

Kim Kardashian has faked us out before, but this time it's not a wig--it's real! Kardashian debuted these J.Lo-style highlights just in time for the 2009 Teen Choice Awards in August.

Britney's Back in Blonde
Just days after Lindsay Lohan scored her long blonde extensions, Britney followed suit in August 2009. Reports have even said that Lohan stopped by the Andy LeCompte Salon in LA while Brit was getting bleached. Perhaps the two stars were going for the same look?

Lindsay Lohan's Blonde Extensions
LiLo looked unsure of her new blonde 'do on July 29th. We have to admit, the excessive extensions and banana-yellow color don't do her justice, especially compared to her gorgeous natural hue!

Jolie makes a drastic beauty switch in her new movie role transforming from a raven-haired femme fatale to a blonde all-business woman.

So many times we see websites or get information via email with offers about making money. They always seem too good to be true. I just wanted to let you guys know that I don't regret making the small investment that has allowed so many other doors to open for me. Before I signed up with 123cashsurveys ( http://cli.gs/123surveys ) I felt like my life was so routine - but now it's filled with so many interesting, fun and financially rewarding things to do. I mean, who would have thought you could get paid to give your opinion. WOW!! I do have one regret ... that I didn't find http://cli.gs/123surveys earlier.

I am truly a believer in Nature's Cleanse http://tr.im/NatureCleanse I started taking it mid-April and on the 5th of May I had lost almost 10lbs. Now, I had been watching my diet and exercising, but the immediate difference from Nature's Cleanse was obvious. One of my problem areas is my belly, I was always bloated, feeling like I was about 9 months pregnant and honestly, I looked it too! After starting with the cleanse, my bloating went down in a week. I knew that I needed to cleanse, but this just reassured me that not only I needed to do so but I needed to do so more often. Nature's Cleanse http://tr.im/NatureCleanse also helped me to feel more satisfied and my skin was looking better - what an awesome way to feel!

I have beautiful dark brown hair that is getting more and more gray; so I went lighter for a while. Much to my surprise I also got more attention. I colored it back to it's natural color even though it's getting harder to cover that gray. I have a friend ten years older who is blonde and she just married an elder gentleman who has taken her in six month on two cruises, on trip and bought her a new Lexis. There's no doubt that this male dominated society's thinking is steered towards going for blonde women. Just look at most of the rich and famous men and their wives or girlfriends most of them are blonde. Not all of us look good with blonde, and it all seems very sexist of the men to take this view point.
