Color Wheel is a series in which we identify a trending color in art, and post a daily image that illustrates its popularity. This week’s color is blonde.
When you see a girl with blonde hair an alarm is supposed to go off that makes you think she’s sexy. It doesn’t matter if that hair is real or fake—you’ll be overcome by all that yellow. [Editor’s note: This is factually inaccurate.]
What is true is that over-processing your hair, i.e. dyeing your hair blonde too frequently, will cause it to fall out. That’s why if you feel the need to go blonde, it’s probably better to wear a wig—perhaps like Marti Domination does in Matthew Barney’s Cremaster Cycle 1 and 2.
Domination’s decades-long performance career seems to draw power from any and all blonde ambition. In the art world Ms. Dom might be best-known for her platinum Cremaster role, but she’s been a blonde staple in the New York City nightclub scene for decades. And she sure knows how to use a whoopee cushion to full-effect.
