Well dear Blondees and Blondettes. We Blondes don’t often come to you for help but we could do with some today.
On Saturday (as you have probably noticed) we will be launching our new children’s book “The Dartmoor Christmas Tree” at the Princetown Visitor Centre’s Christmas Fair (that’s Dartmoor for you Northerners). We are very excited and feel quite honoured.
We are also a little bit stumped. You see, we have been asked to do a short talk about all things Blonde and about our book. Now we Blondes are pretty good at talking. Sometimes some sense comes out of our mouths, sometimes complete Blondeness but, at the end of the day, we get the talking job done. What we are not sure about for Saturday is what to talk about. What will people want to know about The -World-of-Blonde? What can we tell them that we haven’t already published? How many of our secrets will we need to reveal?
Which is where you come in. What would you like to ask the Two Blondes? If you could sit down at Fox Tor Cafe and have lunch with us (at least one of you has), what would you want to find out as you munched your cheesy chips?
All question suggestions gratefully received and we promise that we will do our best to answer them (even the really weird ones) in our talk on Saturday. I’ll let you know how we get on.
I guess I’m lucky enough to already know a bit about you, but “when is the next blonde bimble planned???” Xxx
1. What would be in a Christmas Blonde Bap?
2. If you were a brunette, who would you be and why?
3. What is the blondest place on the moor (except Blond Tor)?
4. What would happen “When Blonde met Bond:The Movie”?
5. Are there any plans for Blonde branded clothing range? Thinking Bear Frylls…oh that was a typo, but it WORKS!
Bear Frylls – that is the best thing I have heard all day! Definitely worth consideration!
Which tor, in your opinion, is really worth the walk to sit and enjoy the view (or for any other reason!)
A most excellent question and one which deserves some Blonde thought.
Rippon Tor but it is always too windy to enjoy the view properly. Cox Tor is a favourite but on a clear day!
How did the Two Blondes meet?
What advice would you give to a brunette who wants to turn blond?
What is your favourite jelly baby colour?
Is it true that you wear ginger wigs when out on Dartmoor to avoid being recognised?
It is a common myth that ginger hair does not get tangled when out on Dartmoor – it does!
What is the origin of Blondicity – was there ever a Blonde amoeba, for instance?
And how did the first fish-blonde finally make up its mind to grow legs and walk onto the land?
I have a great answer to that – will publish it after Saturday!
What do you know now that you’d wished you’d have known when you started out with this malarkey?
What obstacles have you had to negotiate (physical, emotional)?
How has the dynamic between you evolved over the years?
If you could influence or change one Dartmoor related thing what would it be?
I wish someone had told me that cheesy chips were addictive!
Excellent questions – we will make sure that we answer them all in the near future!
It is clear that the two Blondes have developed a form of communication between themselves that is at times impenetrable to others. Sometimes by code, more often by osmosis. I would find it instructive to sit down with them and put a string of boring questions (How much do you earn? How many loos have your respective houses?), ignoring their public answers but alert to the byplay. Bet I could crack the code. The osmosis would be harder. Hey, they’ve got away with murder in the past. It’s time they had to deal with an opponent worthy of their steel (or titanium alloy if you prefer).
I would have liked a titanium alloy when they plated my broken ankle but steel had to suffice.
We Blondes call it “telepathy” and it really works!
