Blondes

The Telegraph has an article called "Blondes paid more than other women."

While they have a reputation for being long on looks and short on intelligence blondes are actually paid more than other women. A study in the journal Economics Letters reported that having blonde hair boosts pay by £1,600 a year. And in addition to their preferential pay packets blondes also marry wealthier men, who earn an average of six per cent more than the husbands of other women.

The author quotes Olga Uskova, president of the "International Blondes Association" who claims that "Blondes have wealthier husbands because we are more fun and outgoing, and men are more attracted to us." She must be delightful at parties.
