I can explain it to you but I can't understand it for you.
"Any man who thinks he can be happy and prosperous by letting the Government take care of him; better take a closer look at the American Indian." - Henry Ford
Corruptissima re publica plurimae leges; When the Republic is at its most corrupt the laws are most numerous. - Publius Cornelius Tacitus

Shera Bechard, the Canadian-born former girlfriend of Playboy Enterprises founder Hugh Hefner, would not be an obvious candidate for the special visas that the U.S. government reserves for 'individuals with extraordinary ability'.
Playboy magazine crowned Bechard Miss November in 2010, and she also started an online photo-sharing craze called 'Frisky Friday'.

Republicans are red, democrats are blue, neither of them, gives a flip about you.

I wonder who got to confirm those "extraordinary abilities" for approving the application?
I'm guessing that application didn't come with college transcripts...maybe she should run for president? :Whistle

"Now, more than ever, the illusions of division threaten our very existence. We all know the truth: more connects us than separates us. But in times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another as if we were one single tribe.” -King T'Challa, Black Panther

I think hair color is a personal preference, regardless of age. Blondes are over-hyped, for sure, but I've always preferred blond-haired men and that hasn't changed as I've gotten older! 
What was interesting about this story was the number of O-1 and EB-1 visas that are given out each year, and the criteria for qualifying for them.

There is also no cap on the number of O-1s that the government can award each year; about 12,280 were approved in 2011, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services said, up from 9,478 in 2006. It issued about 25,000 EB-1s last year, below their cap of 40,000.
While high-profile artists and entertainers have long used the O-1s, they are now becoming a fallback for businessmen and technologists who cannot get H1-Bs.
