I will admit though, that there's an ethnicity effect in it for me. Navi Rawat, or Parminder Nagra, and such... with darker complexions I'm looking for darker and darker hair. Whereas I can appreciate more variations on lighter colored women. For whatever reason.
* And Janel Maloney has a nice figure, but a funny looking face. Also, Amber Benson doesn't do it for me either, because I think her eyes are distractingly weird. I'm strange.
