As a blonde, I feel I’m more justified in writing this than some of the other editors at The Daily Campus… no offense, boys, but us blondes must stick together.

I’ve had every blonde joke in the book tossed at me from how much I stink at driving to people counting on their fingers (and toes) and how many times I say the word “like” in the span of one hour. (I promise I’m getting better, but you try it! It’s not as easy as it seems).

Now, I’ll admit that I, like everyone else, am not a perfect person, but at least I take responsibility for my actions and fess up to my mistakes. Yes, I have run into the side of my garage while trying to park my car. I was 16, and sober and driving with my then-boyfriend… I thought I was so cool. My parents thought otherwise. I learned that other cars usually aren’t the same color red as the paint on my house (I hate when parents out smart me), but I eventually admitted up and moved on.

Now, I know many people feel that blondes can get out of a routine traffic stop by batting their eyes and flipping their hair. Here’s the sad truth, it works. Sometimes. However, simply being nice tends to work just as well. Trust me.

However, there’s one woman from Seattle that gives all the other intelligent blondes a horrible name. Dasha (see photo below) went to the lengths of posting a description of her less-than-stellar appearance on the back of her car in an effort to fend off police. Even better, just in case she forgets her own name, it’s stamped on her license plate.

Claiming in recent news stories to have been stopped over 30 times for speeding, Dasha has only received two citations, both of which were dismissed.

Maybe you could just like, stop speeding, like?

Now, maybe I’m just over reacting (or being a realist) but wouldn’t advertising this statement draw more attention to your vehicle? If I’m working a speed trap and I see an old man speed by next to Dasha with this obnoxious message scrawled on her rear window, guess who I’m going for? Not Grandpa.

Since posting her message, Dasha tells reporters she has not been stopped once in a one-month window. Instead, officers just read the message and smile… and laugh, thinking all blondes are just as dumb as Dasha.

Thanks, Dasha, you’re really doing a favor to us all.
