Sorry I apparently hit your anti-Clinton reflex. The point is, no
matter the level of accomplishment, women are judged largely by their
appearance.


You've got to be kidding! That's not true at all in the professional
world. It's just true for the Hollywood set. I can think of many
women, tops in their fields of science, medicine, electronics,
aerospace..you name it, who I can guarantee did not reach their
pinnacles with their looks.
I know one woman in particular, a friend of mine; a Navy Commander
flying F18's who would be right at home on the cover of Playboy
however.
If I suggested to her what you have said here, I'm sure she would
laugh like hell!

Nope. Not kidding. Do you suppose a discussion about, say, Sean D.
Tucker would have evoked a comment about hair color?

Thank you. You have made my point perfectly.
The people commenting on, or even discussing Ms. Wagstaff's hair color,
although nice enough people, are in no way even remotely qualified to
enhance her career, or even to judge the quality of her expertise.
Those of us who CAN make these judgments, including Sean Tucker and
myself, could care less what color her hair is.
I can assure you that if you approached Sean Tucker and asked about
Patty Wagstaff, her hair color would be the last thing mentioned.
My point is that people who are concerned with things like looks and
hair color are not the people who make and break careers in the
professional world. That is not to say that a woman with Patty
Wagstaff's professional talents would not use a little "good looks" to
appeal to that other market.
In fact, that is exactly what she does do..........she already has the
total respect of her professional peers. All Patty is doing is AFTER
achieving this respect through skill and talent, using all her available
tools to market herself to the people you are talking about........the
ones that make up her market base......her CUSTOMERS.......not her
peers!! :-))
HUGE difference!!!!
