    Where did the phrase 'Blondes have more fun' come from?

    Question #21755. Asked by Brainy Blonde. (Aug 23 02 7:26 PM)


    McGruff

    		I believe the phrase originated from Clairol's advertising slogan. I haven't found an older reference.

    'Up until World War II, a woman who dyed her hair was considered 'fast.' Hollywood depicted the blonde as being dumb, naughty, and immoral. Because Clairol wanted more women to purchase their home hair dyes and also frequent the beauty salon, they came up with some of the most famous advertising slogans of all time.'

    DOES SHE OR DOESN'T SHE?

    ONLY HER HAIRDRESSER KNOWS FOR SURE!

    It is a phrase that refers to keeping confidences, derived from one god's bribery of another. In antiquity, certain doors and rooms would be adorned with the item to which the phrase refers, in order to indicate that what was said within would not be repeated elsewhere. What is this phrase, and can you quote me a somewhat longer and rather elegant Roman version?
