Blonde!! The first words that come to mind are dumb, ditsy, or even snobby. In today's society, blondes are discriminated against just because of the hair color. There are blonde jokes or even rude blonde statements such as, "You"re so blonde." Meaning that that person is so dumb or stupid. But, there are also the blondes that have become so successful over the years and even centuries, that they aren't even worthy of being called dumb or stupid. Great examples would be Marilyn Monroe and Madonna. .
Marilyn Monroe was usually cast in the "dumb blonde roles." In all her film roles, from Niagara to The Misfits (1961), Monroe portrayed an object of desire and exhibition. Her basic character grew out of the dumb blonde archetype, but Monroe's dumb blonde could not be pinned down to any particular origin or social class. She was defined only by what was shown on the screen, with neither a previous history nor seemingly a future. Frequently her characters were nameless (Love Happy, 1949, The Seven Year Itch, 1955), further accentuating her status as an object. She usually had no discernable job and when she did, it was a female-relegated profession such as chorus girl, actress or secretary. 1956 she formed Marilyn Monroe Productions and produced and starred in Bus Stop. Some Like it Hot showcased her comedic talent, starring alongside Jack Lemmon. Marilyn Monroe is a great example as a blonde and though she portrayed the look as a "dumb blonde", she really wasn't. She was a very successful blonde that went a long way. .
Another good example from today's time would be Madonna. In high school Madonna was a cheerleader and straight-A student. She fell in love with dance and sometimes spent up to five hours a day taking dance classes and working out. Upon graduation she won a dance scholarship to the University Of Michigan. Finding the academic atmosphere stifling, after a year of college Madonna set off for New York City in 1977 with just $35 and her suitcase of leotards and toe shoes.

The Parable of the Matrix Preface A parable can be a thing of beauty. Upon listening to the story, the listener's intuition is prompted to find meaning. So very often, a single parable can hold more than one truth depending on the experiences one brings to it. Like a diamond, a parable's quality can often be determined by the number of facets it contains. And it is entirely possible that a listener can divine a purpose out of a parable that greatly differs from what the writer intended. ...
