Blonde sues over brown dye; judge brushes off suit 

A Connecticut judge has given the brush-off to a blonde woman's lawsuit claiming L'Oreal Inc. ruined her social life when she accidentally dyed her hair brunette with one of its products. 

Charlotte Feeney of Stratford says she can never return to her natural blonde hue, a shock that left her so traumatized she needed anti-depressants.

She says she suffered headaches and anxiety, missed the attention that blondes receive and had to stay home and wear hats most of the time.

A Superior Court judge dismissed Feeney's 2005 lawsuit Monday, saying she never proved her allegation that L'Oreal put brown hair dye in a box labeled as blonde. The company also had disputed the claim.

Feeney referred questions on Wednesday to her attorney, David Laudano, who has declined to comment.

How terrible for her.  I send out my condolences to her and to all those suffering from "brunette-ism" including (but not limited to) Cindy Crawford, Catherine Zeta Jones, Angelina Jolie, Courtney Cox, Eva Longoria, Brooke Shields and Jessica Alba.  

I had better buy a hat on my way home.
