Apparently there’s a story in the new Marie Claire that asks famous women whether they’d prefer to be described as “smart” or “sexy.” Salon reports that Cindy Crawford prefers “smart” while Jennifer Lopez prefers “sexy”. Okay, A) BIG surprise there with those answers. NOT. And B) what the HELL kind of story is this? Are we still so un-enlightened that we think it’s not possible for a woman to be BOTH sexy and smart? Stories like this just perpetuate the myth that a girl has to choose between brains and a man. And lastly C) I previously thought I had lost all respect for Jennifer Lopez back during the Puff Daddy thing, but somehow she’s managed to lower herself even FURTHER in my estimation. Congratulations, Jen.
