circ_bambooWhy is it that, in nine seasons, this is literally the first time that Gibbs has a girlfriend who also has silver hair?
Yes, I understand the answer is 'differing patriarchal beauty standards between sexes/genders.'
For the record, I fucking love Jamie Lee Curtis and think her hair is really gorgeous. If mine goes a similar color, I am never ever ever dyeing it. (Of course, the way it's going, if my hair went full silver but kept the texture of the current crop of white hairs, I'd look like I was wearing a white clown wig. Alas.)
(I understand there are valid narrative reasons for, say, all the redheads, and M. Allison and Jenny, even, were still young enough to have brown and red hair, respectively, but that's also opening up a whole 'nother debate. I also know how hard it is to find a woman in Hollywood who voluntarily has gray hair, heh, but still.)
