Discover the fascinating world of blondes!

Is one of the slogans on this package of Schwarzkopf & Henkel (Black-head & Bomber) Professional Quality Nordic Blonde highlight potion:

Lowlights are cheaper and possibly less dangerous.

The Scandinavians seem to have deserted the peculiarly unappetising Gimnasio NĂłrdico in a rain gulley in Horta near the Casa Regional de Navarra, or whatever it’s called:
gimnasio nordico

I occasionally visit a neighbourhood gym in Barcelona. The blondes (F) only attend the aerobics classes, the unsupervised areas being ruled by drug-crazed rapist brunette grunters (M). In, say, Manhattan or Manchester, most of the latter would be refused entry to a carpark, let alone a gym, but making half of your business deeply unattractive for half the population comes naturally in Spain.

A recapitulation of Swedish totty will enliven Baldie Inc in the oh-so-near future.

  • March 21 1848 

    En Barcelona como en otras partes comienza hoy la primavera, que en honor de la verdad no suele ser aqui la estacion mas hermosa del año. Cierto que ya los árboles comienzan á echar hoja, y que la linda y olorosa violeta alfombra los jardines y ribazos, y que le hacen cortejo otras flores; per...

Josep Pla, Palafrugell (1918-9)

  • 21 de març de 1918 En aquest paĂ­s tenim un costum molt curiĂłs. Quan ens trobem, al carrer, dues persones, cara a cara, no tenim, a penes, res a dir-nos. Però, una vegada acomiadats i fets set o vuit passos, se’ns ocorren tot d’una una sèrie de coses urgents a dir a la persona que hem deixat fa un moment. [...]
  • 21 de març de 1919 Inici de la primavera. Biblioteca. Tot traduint Renard penso que Ă©s mĂ©s important dominar un ofici qualsevol que posseir una curiositat dilatada, vastĂ­ssima. La curiositat es pot improvisar; un ofici, no. La curiositat Ă©s superficialment agradable, però deixa una certa buidor amarga per dintre.
