'It's almost like a weapon': How the blonde bombshell has symbolised desire and danger
From the American sweetheart to the platinum ice queen, and Jean Harlow to Sydney Sweeney, the blonde bombshell has been a multi-faceted - and controversial - figure in popular culture. Women's hair has long been endowed with an intoxicating power, from the snake-headed Medusa of Greek mythology, whose arresting appearance turned victims to stone, to Victorian paintings of wavy-haired temptresses and gothic predators, with wild, untamed locks. Embodied by heavily made-up femme fatales such as Theda Bara and Louise Glaum, the predominantly dark-haired "vamp" made her way into the early films of the 1920s, until the advent of hair bleach saw her elbowed out by a bold new cultural icon: the platinum blonde, her immaculate coiffure glowing from the monochrome film. Alamy A new book, British Blonde: Women, Desire and the Image in Postwar Britain, by cultural historian Lynda Nead, examines how the bleached blonde became a complex symbol of both desirability and danger, from her US origins, most famously personified by Marilyn Monroe, to her diverse British incarnations such as Diana Dors and Barbara Windsor. "Blondeness seemed to be so significant, it wasn't just a little detail that you could ignore, it seemed to me what was defining these familiar faces and images," Nead, who is Professor of History of Art at the Courtauld Institute of Art, tells the BBC.

Today sees performances from Gojira, Mastodon, The Black Dahlia Murder, Obituary and many more - but who is clashing with who? Here's your set times, clashes, weather forecast and pollen count ahead of your final day at Catton Hall. Good morning, campers, one final time at Bloodstock Open Air 2025. Today is sadly your last day at this year's festival, but things are going out with a bang rather than a mere whimper. Headlining the final day at the festival is French act Gojira (Ronnie James Dio stage, 9:10pm), who casual audiences might remember from the opening ceremony at the Paris Olympic Games (and the controversy the subsequently surrounded it), with the Sophie Lancaster Stage headlined this evening by death metal stalwarts Obituary (10:40pm), with Three Inches of Blood performing shortly before them on the same stage (8pm). Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad We'd also be remiss not to add that Mastodon are set to perform shortly before Gojira on the Ronnie James Dio stage (6:55pm), so despite it being the last day, it is set to be a stunning line-up to close out this year's festival. Here's all your set times, stage clashes, weather forecast, and pollen count ahead of your final day at Bloodstock 2025.
