"100 Women: ‘I dye my hair brown to be taken more seriously at work’"

"A Silicon Valley CEO reveals her secret to getting ahead in business - dyeing her blonde hair brown, and ditching her heels and contact lenses.

"Eileen Carey is a successful CEO, in her early 30s, with glasses and brown hair.

"But she didn't always look the way she does now.

"'The first time I dyed my hair was actually due to advice I was given by a woman in venture capital,' she says.

"Carey was told that the investors she was pitching to would feel more comfortable dealing with a brunette, rather than a blonde woman.

"'I was told for this raise [of funds], that it would be to my benefit to dye my hair brown because there was a stronger pattern recognition of brunette women CEOs,' she explains.

"Pattern recognition is a theory which suggests people look for familiar experiences - or people - which in turn can make them feel more comfortable with the perceived risks they are taking.
When she had blonde hair, Eileen says she was likened to Elizabeth Holmes, whose company Theranos has been through a lot of controversy.

"'Being a brunette helps me to look a bit older and I needed that, I felt, in order to be taken seriously,' Carey says."

"RACINE — A Racine man, whom more than a dozen women accused of stalking them, threatening them and sending them sexually explicit pictures, spoke passionately about wanting his “life back” — and not wanting to go to jail.

"He’s headed to prison.

"William E. Crockett, 45, of the 2200 block of Mount Pleasant Street, was sentenced on Monday to 27 months behind bars — nearly the maximum sentenced allowed.

"Prosecutors and investigators said Crockett, who previously worked at two Racine County prisons and as a mall security guard, sent threatening texts to women, including a female Racine police officer and then the female Racine County Sheriff’s Office detective investigating that allegation.

"During his sentencing, Crockett said he admitted to 'what I did' and was honest with investigators. But he said he didn’t want to go to jail.

''I never stalked anybody. It was a back-and-forth thing. I might have gotten carried away,' said Crockett. 'I just want my life back.'

"Racine County Circuit Judge Michael Piontek also sentenced Crockett to 18 months on extended supervision, calling him 'a danger.'"
