| Gentlemen Prefer Blondes | comment |
Gentlemen Prefer Blondes was a 1925 novel written by Anita Loos. It was adapted into a Broadway musical in 1949; the songs (written by Jule Styne and Leo Robin) included "Little Rock" and "Diamonds Are A Girl's Best Friend." The musical version was adapted into a movie in 1953, starring Jane Russell and Marilyn Monroe. (An earlier silent movie version is lost.) Loos wrote a sequel, But Gentlemen Marry Brunettes, in 1927.The story follows two flappers, and best friends, Dorothy Shaw and Lorelei Lee, during a trip to Europe in which Lorelei cultivates relationships with a variety of rich men, sometimes simultaneously. | |

Hair-Contrast Duo | |
| Gentlemen Prefer Blondes / int_40b711d5 | comment |
Hair-Contrast Duo: Blonde Lorelei and brunette Dorothy, whose different hair colors are a visual shorthand for how different they are in personality and goals. Lorelei is a ditz who wants to marry into wealth, while Dorothy is shrewd and snarky and favors physical attractiveness in men above all other considerations. | |

Gay Paree: Lorelei and Dorothy spend a chapter touring Paris. They're more impressed by the shops than by the "Eyeful Tower". | |

Dumb Blonde | |

Dumb Blonde: Well, somewhat. Lorelei does say some spectacularly ditzy things and she's plenty shallow but she can be incredibly crafty, at least when it comes to manipulating people. She's about 40% Dumb Blonde, 40% Obfuscating Stupidity and 20% Genius Ditz. | |

Hide Your Pregnancy | |
| Gentlemen Prefer Blondes / int_a78aead3 | comment |
Hide Your Pregnancy: invoked In But Gentlemen Marry Brunettes, Lorelei abandons her movie career at expectant motherhood, alluding to the example of a movie actress who was discovered to be pregnant halfway through filming, which got to the point where her scenes had to be filmed "showing nothing but her head sticking up over the top of a bush or looking out of a window." | |

Has a Type: Rich men for Lorelei. Tall, Dark, and Handsome for Dorothy, although Lorelei would argue "poor men" is more accurate. | |
