Blonde Quote by Siouxsie Sioux

“It was a reaction to when I was growing up, and women were supposed to be all blonde hair, gold suntan, and pink lips. It was a real black-and-white opposite of what was considered attractive. I was kicking against something I found really oppressive.” quote by Siouxsie Sioux
