Blondes are dumber and brunettes moredependable. Or so it is said. But it is redheadswho have long been the more feared, revered,loathed and loved; hence the rumour that it takesmore than an average dose of anaesthetic tosedate a carrot-top. As Sylvia Plath, herself aTitian tigress of sorts, once remarked, Out of the ash I rise with my red hair, and eat menlike air.
据说,金发女郎有些傻气,而深褐色头发的女人比较可靠。但长期以来,人们又敬、又畏、又爱、又恨的却是红色头发的人。因此有传言说,给红头发的人进行麻醉都得多打一点麻药。西尔维娅普拉斯本人就勉强算是一个长着提香式红发 的母老虎,她曾经写道:我站起身来 披着红发走出灰烬 我大啖人肉 如同吞噬空气。
Man s fascination with hair is almost as old as humanity itself. But humans have beencutting and coiffing their hair for at least 25,000 years, mostly with the aim of pleasingthemselves and distancing or differentiating themselves from others. Yves le Fur, curator ofa new show about hair at the Quai Branly museum in Paris, is well aware that one of theearliest depictions of styled hair is a paleolithic figurine known as the Venus ofBrassempouy, which was discovered in south-west France in 1894. But he hides hisanthropological light under a bushel and draws visitors into Cheveux Chris with a quicktour d horizon of stylists, styles and styled, from Gina Lollobrigida to Ingres and the sirens ofUlysses.
