no, i was translating. "la blonde" sounds like french, works ok, yes, not sure if it's used that way though, ask a frenchie. if you want spanish it's "la rubia" and yes, it's used that way, as in sumo's little-known masterpiece of a song called "la rubia tarada" (the retarded blonde).

I think maybe last century blonde was the only 'correct' spelling, but over time letters come and go from spellings.

yes it's 2 spellngs originally but in english it's sorta merged, because the english language is written by donkeys. look:

btw white in french is blanc/blanche. blond/blonde is... well, doesn't need explanation.
