The Blonde Map of Europe: Princess Diana, Madeleine McCann, Britney Spears, Heather Mills
THE Blonde Map of Europe: Princess Diana, Madeleine McCann, Britney Spears, Heather Mills and Anne Darwin: “According to this map – and if you really believe that blondes have less brains –a nasty fall like that is more likely to happen in the central parts of Norway, Sweden and Finland, where at least 80% of the population is fair-haired, the highest figure in all of Europe.”
Blondes hog the front pages.
This map, indicating the varying degrees of ‘blondness’ in Europe, shows how fair hair gets rarer further away from this core area – towards the south, as one intuitively might presume, but also towards the east, west and even towards the north.
The consecutive bands (coloured in such a way as to approximately represent the ‘average’ hair colour in each area) surrounding the core blonde area in Scandinavia in most cases don’t correspond with national boundaries, but could be taken to represent certain degrees of ethnic variation, often with a possible historical explanation.
Do the tabloids publish in Norwegian?

Mirror mirror on the wall who is the fairest of them all?
Why you are dear Queen Liz, and let us not forget to mention the other bastions of blondeliness out there where more fair maiden’s hail from….such as Queen Beatrix’s beloved Netherlands, Denmark, Iceland and Estonia and Switzerland….where you’d never know that blondes are indeed a dying breed in the world today.
Sigh….what a pity….I never did put much weight into the IQ thingie…..
