From Dictionary.com:
adjective 1. (of a woman or girl) having fair hair and usually fair skin and light eyes.
noun 2. a woman or girl having this coloration.
Related forms blonde�ness, noun
Can be confused: blond, blonde (see usage note at the current entry).
Usage note
The spelling blonde is still widely used for the noun that specifies a woman or girl with fair hair: The blonde with the baby in her arms is my anthropology professor. Some people object to this as an unnecessary distinction, preferring blond for all persons: My sister is thinking of becoming a blond for a while. As an adjective, the word is more usually spelled blond in reference to either sex ( an energetic blond girl; two blond sons ), although the form blonde is occasionally still used of a female: the blonde model and her escort.
In other words a Blonde is female, where as blond refers to anyone with light colouring! I am of the opinion that being called a blonde is not a good thing as females with light hair are often seen as being stupid!
