Lorelei

When you really think about it, is Lorelei really a "dumb" blonde? In Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, they portray Lorelei as unintelligent  from the misspelling in her diary, for example instead of Eiffel tower she spells as Eyefull, and how she uses men to get "educated" while they give her books to read and she does not end up reading them. Although she is unintelligent, I do not think she is a dumb blonde, she is more of a gold digger. I think Lorelei knows she is not educated enough to make it on her own yet knows she is a beautiful blonde that can score any man she wants. She then goes on a quest to find the perfect sugar daddy, starting with Mr. Eisman to the innocent European men to Henry H. Spoffard. Lorelei knows she will never read a book and has succeeded with that excuse to end up receiving expensive gifts from the gentlemen that fall for her plan to "educate" her. So who is really the dumb one, the men falling for Lorelei's beauty or the beautiful blonde Lorelei that can get away with murder?
