<p>Everyone keeps telling me to get colored contacts because my eyes are two different colors (left one blue, right one green), but hey, I personally think it's cool.</p>
<p>My hair is naturally blonde but I lighten it a couple of shades - sometimes more, depending on which part I have in whichever play I'm in at a given time.</p>
<p>Does it bother anybody else that all these people with dark eyes and hair are paying money to get light contacts and dyes? Please don't dismiss me as judgmental, but I can't help noticing a heirarchy of standardized beauty here, with blonde/blue/green at the top and black/brown at the bottom. Of course, the advent of customizable features will help erode the natural advantages a blonde with blue eyes may have, but at the cost of conceding to the fact that their features are inherently more desirable and beautiful.</p>
<p>If I saw more blondes going dark (a la Ashlee Simpson), then I can see this as nothing more than like getting trendy haircuts. But the flow seems to be going all in one direction: light.</p>
<p>I'm haven't and will never dye my hair or get any colored contacts. I'm Asian and I don't think, in general, we look good with any unnatural-colored features.</p>

<p>Yes, but it's always the dark-featured people who want to be different. At least in goth and punk scenes, dark is respected rather than avoided.</p>
<p>They just don't want to be like their siblings....>/ Ashley Simpson having black hair while Jessica Simpson have blonde hair. =] Nikki Hilton having black hair while Paris Hilton have blonde hair. ^^ They don't want to be their sib's mini me. =]</p>
<p>I have hazel eye contacts that I don't wear too often. My eyes are dark brown and just sometimes I like the idea of having light-colored eyes-- hence, the contacts. </p>
<p>I've considered getting my hair lightened, because it's black.</p>
