PORTRAITS OF THREE BLONDE WOMEN (English translation below) // ÜÇ SARIŞIN KADININ PORTRESİ
Here is my seventh column at Yasamburada.com

I had to write. I wanted to write this for a long time but couldn’t have the chance. None of the three women are my relatives. We know each other from work life and media. In between, only the Turk naturally blonde one is someone I can call ‘friend’ but I don’t think she evaluates me like this; not so important; important thing is me seeing her valuable. For me, all three are ‘hopeless cases’. The first one as natural blonde is given a barrier to appear as successful; second one as fake blonde is totally a degeneration of profession, wronging of employment and suicide of the company that employed her; finally third one as half natural blonde does the suicide to herself with her own work..
Yes. First one is Turk and naturally blonde. From outside, she looks crazy but inside, she is calm, tender and I guess she knows value of human. She was in United States for long years; had education there. She might have been born there too. She has her English language level as a native speaker. She comes from journalism. Her education is also on journalism so I can really call her colleague. She newly got married. Her last job was at a TV channel, an economics TV and she worked at foreign news department. She got tired so much; complaining about not having free time for her family; quitted the job. How could she have time for her family? A ‘power’ wanted her to start work at 06.00 a.m. every day to prepare the morning news. She was then back home before late afternoon but how could someone take this? Think, at what time she had to wake up to be at work at 06.00 in the morning and for this, what time she had to go to bed? In the evening hours, that all normal people could socialize, rest, read a book, have time for hobbies, she could hardly start to sleep. I know, you’ll say “Life can make you work in worse conditions” but they evaluated this educated, native speaker, intellectual person in a condition to make her intellectual side grated. As I told before, she later quitted.. This qualified woman is now a housewife! At least she has time for her family and she is happy with this.. I don’t have anything to say for those absent minded people seeing her suitable to be a housewife!
Second one is a fake blonde, not even blonde - a kind of so ugly light brown turning into platin. Since the first time we met, I’ve thought, her nose didn’t become more beautiful and looked like the famous caricature character ’Deli Ziya’ despite having plastic surgery. I don’t like criticizing beauty but I am against ‘pushed’ beauties with plastic surgery - deeply against those who try to pass naturally beautiful people with that ‘pushed’ plastic surgery! This fake blonde has been swimming in money with her high level job. She also often travels abroad. Is she successful? Not. She can’t even be the nail of the natural blonde.. Her English is fair. She went to a language course by our criticizations and made her language better; as you can guess, only shown beter on certificate. Don’t be tricked by seeing her sentences in English in social media, she copies and pastes them. From the name of the famous key speaker of a conference, to the city she is in, shesurely writes the names wrongly; this even became a signature of her. Her university diploma is not from the areas she has been working in. In this condition (!) she thinks she’s so promising in this service sector. While marketing some things - this new company is said to be selling B2B service packages - it looks blurry that they might really be selling. Oh, if they put a profit chart starting from the foundation day of the company, of course they are having 500 % profit; little activities can give big profits when you start from zero..This fake blonde has been sharing her worse than worse ‘selfies’. The breaking point of this whole text is, that natural blonde just wrote a great compliment under one those pictures. I thought, thought.. Coudn’t go out of this problem. I’m talking to her now, you solve it: “My naturally blonde friend, you - with your native English from United States and journalism diploma - are made to sit at home. No one asks ‘Come, let’s work together, you can do great job’ to you; forget asking, doesn’t even say. Fake blonde shakes her back to you sitting at home; having your hair done at hairdresser to sit at home as housewife. So why do you type a compliment under her picture?? If you think she will feel sympathy for you and employ you, my opinion is, she will be afraid of you passing her in success, this will never happen.”
And third blonde is from United States and half naturally blonde - hair is natural but eyebrows are dyed in platin-. Her choice. This freelancer has an income in between those two blonde women. If she wanted, she would be more successful but has been living a routine-based and soulless life; I guess she will die like this.. In her province, she has recognized amount of graphics design clients but somehow she doesn’t employ anyone to work together; living a life of misery by working too much. Does she have time for herself? It’s hard to count as hobby; takes photographs of her environment hundreds of times. She always gets shocked in the same way when she sees interesting things and rains the pictures to social media. This must be ‘the madness of designer’. I guess her each day is like this: Work project, sleeplessness, a little worse nutrition habit, taking photographs of the paint-worn out walls, funny food packages and shop signs in the region, sleeping.. She can see as many patterns and colours as she wants.. Her inside is colourless and soulless.. I don’t think being creative is observing the ones existing, I say “Creativity is creating from zero”..
