Stephanie Fierman Cheers The Smart Chicks

Does an article in this Saturday’s Wall Street Journal mean that we can stop thinking about Barbie vs. Bratz and starting pitching products to young girls because we think they’re smart?  That would be nice!

The article, “The Secret to Marrying a Billionaire: Brains,” says that, although the media heralds beauty as the key to man-snagging, it appears that many contemporary billionaires believe that finding a smart partner is more important.  Sergey Brin, Larry Page and Michael Dell are all held as examples of men who “married smart.”

Unfortunately, the WSJ article also links to Forbes’ “Billionaire Wives List,” which includes a feature that allows you to check out the chicks ”In Pictures.”

When was the last time you saw one of these lists offer a photo gallery of Steve Schwarzman, Carl Icahn and Vikram Pandit (hey, sexy!)?  I thought not.

Oh well, I’ll be happy for the article and leave it at that today.
