prostitutes
WOW: now i know where it comes from:
We all know that blondes have more fun, but have you ever wondered where the Western fascination with blonde hair originated? I mean, why not redheads instead?
It all goes back to ancient Rome. Prostitutes were licensed by the State, but the Senators wanted a more obvious way of identifying the local ladies of the night. In 40 AD, they decreed that prostitutes had to dye their hair blonde, a sure-fire way to stand out in a population of dark-haired Mediterraneans.
Apparently, it was one of the most successful marketing campaigns in history. Soon, every red-blooded Roman male wanted a blonde woman by his side - and in his bed. Well, the rest of the female population was not going to take this lying down, as it were, and it wasn't long until respectable ladies all over town were dying their hair blonde. In an effort to upstage the working girls, they then embellished their golden locks with gold and silver dust.
So, the association of blondeness and sexual proficiency was established by the laws of one state, and that belief persists to this day. Of course, sometimes it is true...
