Do blondes get more action?

I had a really interesting conversation last night at the Vodafone launch party. One of the girls there has gone brunette after being blonde. Actually she looks hot, but she was saying the level of pick ups and chatting up has really dropped off since she went from blonde to dark tresses.
The guy in the [...]

Mutton dressed as lamb
