Blondes have more fun...and make more money!

According to this article in The Daily Telegraph, blondes are more financially successful than women of other hair colors. Being a blonde myself, this could not be better news! Not only, according to researchers, do they get paid seven percent more, they also marry wealthier men. This is wonderful to hear, since I have always planned on marrying a millionaire! ;)

Apparently, there is also an organization known as the International Blondes Association, the president of which was interviewed for this article. While her explanations for this anomaly are, well, very stereotypical "blonde" answers, I can't help but wonder how much truth there is to them.

On another note (and another article), Gothamist.com reports that college-educated women drink more than women who don't pursue higher education. These women, the article reports, also tend to wait longer to settle down and have kids, and tend to work in fields dominated by men. Personally, I think these are all signs pointing to feminists who are trying to keep up with the boys - including, apparently, their ability to hold their liquor. But that's just me!
