Do you have a favorite canon hair style/cut of Bonnie’s?
Nice question! Let's start with the pilot. It was pretty much all down hill from here.
The side-part wavy with the headband is one of my favorite looks on Bonnie. Whoever was working on this set knew how to style Kat's widow's peak well enough to place a headband. I think this look is super cute.
One of my second favorite looks on Bonnie is the wavy/curly look she had to her hair in season two. I love how the hair frames her face and compliments her features. The curls just embody a very young and fun energy.
The color for this last one is to die for. It looks so good against her skin. She's practically glowing! The long bob with the waves is a pretty relaxed look for Bonnie which makes sense because she starts the season on vacation with her bestie Damon.
It's genuinely heartbreaking to hear Kat Graham talk about being the lowest paid cast member on the Vampire Diaries for 6 years. Kat deserved to be paid for her talent, especially considering the significance of her character. They used Bonnie for her labor to save the day and her heroics go practically unacknowledged with no real gratitude. The CW really didn't believe Bonnie Bennett had any monetary value and that Kat wasn't worth being paid for her work, while planning to replace her with a white blonde character (Liv Parker).
They took advantage of Kat's poverty to pay her nothing in comaprison to her peers. While she was just happy to be paid in that moment, this shit impacts black women daily. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, on average, Black women were paid 58% of what non-Hispanic white men were paid in 2020. Will these people responsible for underpaying Kat be held accountable? No, but they should be.
