So what you're saying is that I set up a "negative filter", that is, it would allow only emails with the key word (blonde) to pass through and trash the rest, rather than the other way around.

Yes. This is the way Google searches work, and that's basically what you're doing with a filter, searching the incoming mail and applying actions to them. All/most of these tips also apply to filters.
