Here’s mine, and I also would lick the tire-treads of the truck which carries Christiane Amanpour’s (even though she ain’t no blonde) panties to the cleaners, so don’t give me no shit, okay? (written with love to all female hair colors!)
Diane Sawyer.

Julie Payette, one of our Canadian astronauts, really kicks ass:
She was blonder when she was younger; she speaks several languages, plays a couple of musical instruments, has degrees in Engineering and Applied Science. and is a fine athlete.
She’s been very active in the NASA space programme and has made two working trips to the International Space Center. She was CAPCOM at the Mission control in Houston for a couple of missions. She has a commercial pilot license and is a certified deep-sea diver.
That’s only the tip of the iceberg of her accomplishments, she’s amazing: all that, and friendly, likeable, unpretentioous, generous.
She’s a great motivator-- telling children that they have to have a dream or a plan, and that they have to work hard to achieve their goals. Our society and media tend to make young people believe that a few minutes of stardom constitute a worthwhile goal, and that celebrity can happen to anyone, almost accidentally, through shows like reality tv, for instance.
I’m a blonde and I kick ass (toooooot toooots own horn!). I’ve been taking Krav Magaclasses for a few months and I’m able to kick more ass all the time!
Now, to name a famous one …
Christina Applegate. She survived breast cancer, had a double mastectomy, and has spread the word that your life is more important than your breasts.
There are a ton more, but since this is breast cancer awareness month she popped into my mind first!
