The answer is Sophia Loren. It doesn't matter what the special said.
And for the men who haven't seen her face, her it is:

Gentlemen apparently no longer prefer blondes.
Instead, they would rather choose the brains and sophistication more often associated with brunettes.
That is according to a study into hair colour and the intensity of attraction, which showed 51% of men thought brunettes were more attractive.
Researchers at City University showed 1,500 men three pictures of the same model digitally enhanced as a blonde, a brunette and a redhead.
They were then asked to give their impressions of the model's personality based on her hair colour.
Brunettes were described as intelligent by 81%, while 67% described them as independent and self-sufficient.
Two-thirds of the men (62%) said the brunette women appeared stable and competent.
The blonde model was described as needy and lacking in independence by four out of ten.
Redheads were thought to be intelligent by 79% of the men, although 45% described them as neurotic.
City University Professor of Psychology Peter Ayton led the research commissioned by hair products company Sunsilk.
He said blonde hair had historically been seen as a symbol of youth which was attractive to men, but added: "As the role of women has evolved, men's expectations of women have changed.
"They're looking for more intense, equal partnerships and appearance has a large role to play."
The answer is Sophia Loren. It doesn't matter what the special said.
And for the men who haven't seen her face, her it is:
Btw, the sweet and lovely flower Andrea Dworkin has passed on to that Big Dyke-Shop In The Sky.
I'll give it a try and get back to you. Maybe.
A lot of women follow trends. Once the trend starts it doesn't matter what started it, or whether it makes any sense. (Just look it all the pudgy women wearing low-rise pants and cut-off tops, for example.)
Men follow trends, too, of course, but the vast majority of hair-color products are sold to women.
ha ha, yeah let me know. I'll be able to see it when you start spouting off like a deranged, psycho lib.
Sounds like they took a poll of 1,500 male hair dressers.
Nothing like truth-in-advertising.
I forgot about that picture!
Redundancy alert.
Which explains that closet full of leisure suits I have.
Hellooo. Having been a guy most of my life, and knowing a few other guys, I can vouch for the fact that most of them (not me, of course) prefer AVAILABILITY in a woman, rather than SOPHISTICATION. Helloooo. Methinks the professor has been in the lab sniffing the chemicals for too long.

Fishy.
That's gotta hurt ...
Doesn't matter.
They are worth it.

Blondes, brunettes or redheads?
I'll take a black and tan.
San Jose, California.
I'm still partial to blondes but I think the answer to why brunettes fare well in this survey is because the white population is declining compared to asian, black and Hispanic populations (all naturally dark-haired). This means more dark-skinned dark-haired men who may not see blondes as naturally attractive.
When I start seeing brunettes with blonde roots, I'll start believing brunettes are actually more popular. Doesn't seem women themselves supporting this notion.
Anybody who simply prefers CZJ for her brains is blind.
