sionnach commented on the word blondness
A city is hit by a strange phenomenon. One by one the citizens’ hair turns blond, rendering them incapable of intelligent political discourse. As they abandon their jobs and civic responsibilities for the beach and malls, chaos reigns. The disintegration of society is halted by one natural blonde (Elle Woods?), who inspires the citizens to use their new-found fashion sense as a force for good.
