I remember meeting a fellow who seemed to be a about a mile wide and an inch deep. He knew a little about a lot of things but not very much about any one topic. I thought he’d last about 10 minutes in his job and flit off to something else in the blink of an eye. But he seemed to careen from place to another, starting with working for me to being my boss’s boss in less time than it takes to get a legislative change made. It made me wonder at the purpose of management and whether I wanted to join their ranks. Elle Woods (Reese Witherspoon) shows many of the same skills. Displaying a capacity to absorb information and knowledge not expected of someone with her demeanour, she accomplishes her goals with the skills of a veteran and still looks good with her French manicure. I guess it pays never to underestimate someone with a law degree from Harvard no matter how blonde she may be.

It is always a struggle to convince other people that there is more to you than just what they see on the surface. How you dress, how you groom, who you hang out with only reflect what you want others to see. It may bear no connection to what you think, what you believe and where your life is going. Think of it as a disguise to distract people from finding out who the real you is or trying to become. Elle Woods (Reese Witherspoon) may be a Miss Hawaiian Tropic, a calendar girl and a sorority president. But she is bright enough to figure out how to get into Harvard Law, how to intern at a good firm and how to defend a client in a court case. Rather than worry about what she can’t do, Elle spends her time figuring out how she can successfully accomplish what she knows needs to be done and to continue to look good doing it.
