Thanks for the comments. Meredith- I guess that Madonna has had her good looking times, though now may not be one of them. I think she is definitely a memorable blonde though either way. Btw - it's Jody, not Judy :)

1. Anyone can look like Marilyn Monroe, all they have to do is have the same amount of plastic surgery. "Norma Jean" was a very plain girl until she went under the knife. 2. Madonna--one of the most beautiful? Who on earth??? It MUST be the blonde hair because there is really no other reasonable explanation for her success. I love your list, though, Judy. Like Candice I think it's a very fun subject!
