Revitalizing Cream and Dumb Blondes

Revitalizing cream and Dumb Blondes


We have a lot of fun with the notion of dumb blondes – Jayne Mansfield is probably my favorite, with Judy Holiday a close second (though Amanda Seyfried, “It’s like I have ESPN or something” also comes to mind) – all very intelligent in real life.

But even your stereotypical, I-bleach-my-hair-into-straw-because-it’s-what-boys-like dumb blonde can learn new vocabulary if it’s important to them – here’s a really important term: revitalizing cream.

Revitalizing Cream: Important Vocabulary
Just living in modern times is rough on a girl’s skin – bad air, fast food – and dumb blondes tend to too much tanning as well. Enter revitalizing cream.

Revitalizing cream = “ameliorating” cream
Revitalizing cream = “give new vigor to” cream
Revitalizing cream = “restore strength to” cream
Revitalizing cream = “make more lively or active” cream
Revitalizing cream = “make younger” cream
Revitalizing cream = “make like new” cream

Hopefully, somewhere in that list we found a phrase familiar to the so-called dumb blonde, to get the point across. Skin is important to your health as well as to your beauty, and using revitalizing cream can make a huge improvement to quality of life.

Dumb blonde? A literary convention useful for comedic purposes; a pose useful for duping dumb boys. Extremely rare in the real world.
