10 Beautiful Women Who Are Way More Intelligent Than You
Run for the hills, lads! They exist!
No but seriously fellow man-people, a beautiful yet intelligent woman (heh. I said “yet”) is something that deserves our worship as much as our apprehension. You see, beautiful women don’t need to be intelligent. They’ll get along just fine in life saying “O RLY?” at everything you say, as you confuse them all the way to the bedroom and mount them just as they figure out, to their horror, what the frick is happening. So, when a woman defies convention by being both hot AND thinking your vast array of chat-up lines based around the model “do you have any (insert nationality here) in you? want some?” are about as amusing as being smashed in the vagina with a wet paper bag full of piranhas, it can be befuddling and in extreme cases, downright embarrassing.
Thus, I have fought tooth and nail, both to find out what that expression means, and to collate information on 10 such examples of these women. Gentlemen, if you ever see one of these women at a bar and become possessed with the desire to try your luck, be forewarned that it’s going to take more than your boyish charms and your rapier wit to get any of these women into bed - it’s going to take intelligence. Or enough Rohypnol to kill a manatee.
Mira Aroyo
Mira Aroyo is a rare, multi-talented gem of a woman hailing from deepest, darkest Bulgaria. Not only is she a member of the brilliant British band, Ladytron (whose album “Witching Hour” I consider to be a must-listen for all of you), but she is also a model. Oh, and she also has a PHD in Genetics from Oxford University. An appealing combination of man-friendly traits - Mira is the kind of girl who can rock out with the band for your friends, pout for you in private, and acknowledge with a reassuring brand of scientific authority that it’s not your fault you are going bald.
Mira Sorvino
Semi-proving that I have a fetish for women named “Mira”, Mira Sorvino represents both the 2nd Mira on my list and also a disgusting overachiever. Mira graduated “Magna Cum Laude” from Harvard University with a degree in East Asian Studies. Note that I write “Magna Cum Laude” whilst laughing to myself, because my tiny male brain’s automatic reaction to the words “cum laude” is to say “haha. cum laude” under my breath, belittling the massive achievement that “Magna Cum Laude” actually is. Mira is fluent in Mandarin and is apparently an excellent singer.
Severn Cullis-Suzuki
A mere 1 year my senior, Severn already has an epic list of accomplishments long enough to cause my testicles to spontaneously retract all the way up to my eyeballs in humble acceptance of how pathetic my life is compared to hers. Yale graduate and daughter of renowned geneticist and environmentalist David Suzuki, Severn is a member of Kofi Annan’s Special Advisory Panel and has been awarded so many accolades that I’ve almost gone full circle and have ceased to be impressed by it.
Natalie Portman
Apart from being an accomplished child and teenage actress, Natalie Portman - now all grown up at age 25 and well within the socially-acceptable moral threshold for me to masturbate over - is as beautiful as she is bright. Fluent in Hebrew and English with conversational ability in a smattering of other languages (including Japanese), Portman also attended top Ivy League institution Harvard University, where she graduated with a degree in Psychology in 2003.
Liya Kebede
From humble beginnings, superstar model Liya Kebede has blossomed into an inspirational role model to make all of us look at the floor and kick our heels in guilt at the fact that we do sweet frick all for the well-being of others. When not strutting down the catwalk draped in Gucci, Louis Vuitton and D&G, Liya Kebede campaigns for social awareness in her role as WHO Goodwill Ambassador for Maternal, Newborn and Child Health. In 2005, she was awarded the UN Day Award and gave this speech as part of her acceptance. She is also head of a self-named foundation to improve the health of mothers and children around the world.
Vanessa Mae
As a violin player myself, Vanessa Mae’s story simultaneously amazes me and fills me with envy no matter how many times I read it. Whilst she had the benefit of significant financial backing from affluent parents whereas I had to fashion my first violin from saliva and ripped up pieces of old Chinese newspapers, it is undeniable that she was an extraordinarily talented musician as a youth - having performed with many of the best orchestras in the world well before her 20s. Whilst I look upon her adulthood goal of “sexifying” Classical music with obvious hype-machine-induced cynicism, it doesn’t stop me from wanting to be on her.
Queen Rania of Jordan
Whilst many royal women are renowned for their philanthropic activities (a convenient, royal byproduct of being bored shitless and having loads of money), Queen Rania is different. She’s hot. In addition to being hot, Queen Rania has quite a brain sitting beneath that multi-million dollar crown. Born a plebian like the rest of us, Rania graduated with a degree in Business Administration and worked at jobs for Citibank and Apple, before becoming all royal by marrying king Abdullah bin Al-Hussein in 1993. With this new-found Real and Ultimate Power, Queen Rania has made her mark on the world with her involvement in several core economic and welfare-related issues including best practices in the field of microfinance and the incorporation of Information Technology into schools. She is also a foundation board member of the World Economic Forum and lends her time to countless other charities and initiatives.
Carmen Kass
As a supermodel, Carmen Kass probably has to deal with a lot of stereotypical assumptions about her intelligence. For example, you probably wouldn’t peg her as the kind of girl who excels at abstract, strategic board games. In fact the only game I know that supermodels excel at involves shitloads of cocaine, a parrot that can recite lines from “Ferris Beuller’s Day Off” and seventeen buckets of fake semen - but I do keep rather eccentric company. Anyway I digress. Apart from being a model for the likes of Dior, Prada, Gucci and Chanel, Carmen Kass is also the President of the Estonian Chess Association. This isn’t just some meaningless, honourary title because she once touched a chess board and the Estonian Chess Association shat their pants and threw money at her agent - she actually kicks arse at chess, plays in tournaments and allegedly prefers a quiet game of chess indoors with friends as opposed to those clichéd supermodel parrot / fake semen parties.
Sabrina Houssami
Sabrina Houssami is Australia’s proud entry into the Miss World 2006 contest. Whilst Miss World is usually a depressing, conveyor-belt sushi ride of vacant, wide-eyed women saying the same “world peace is like totally awesome!” judge-friendly speech over and over again, I’m expecting good things from Sabrina, and I’m not just talking about her tits in a bikini top. Sabrina is a mere 19 years old but has already won many accolades in the fields of public speaking and debate. She was a member of the New South Wales champion debating team of 2003 and this year she was a speaker on the winning team of the Goodwill Week Great Debate. She is pretty much everything I look for in a woman - that smouldering yet mysterious Middle-Eastern look and the assertiveness to tell me when I am completely full of shit. Which is all the time.
Ada Lovelace
I know, I know. You can’t sleep with a dead woman. Legally. Ada Lovelace is the only dearly departed (in 1852) member of my list, but no less deserving. Ada was trained from birth to be a maths and science genius thanks to her mother’s fear and suspicion of hippie, liberal arts types - which was brought on by a nasty breakup with Ada’s poet father, Lord Byron. Ada is well known for her contributions to and English documentation on Charles Babbage’s Analytical Engine. Ada, with her mathematically-inclined mind, suggested to Babbage to write a plan on how his machine could be used to calculate Bernoulli numbers. This plan is now regarded by historians as the first computer program ever written.
Closing Thoughts
I hope you enjoyed my terrifyingly frank foray into the world of women who are just way better than any of us. Perhaps I’ve instilled in you a new-found appreciation for the female of the species. Perhaps I’ve rekindled your interest in personality and intellect over attributes that are merely physical.
So. Which one do you want to BONE?
In other news: I’m currently writing a book. It’s titled “My Warm, Tingly Friend: How Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Can Help You To Orgasm Harder, Longer and Sometimes Entirely By Surprise” and will be sold as an E-Book in secure PDF format. Due in Autumn.
Maybe if we all just stick to the average looking girls then we can all be happy? Not sure if that’d work. Saw it in a movie. Definately Natalie
my girlfriend is hotter and more intelligent than any of these hoes. i choose yongfook. thanks for the article jon. the way you use the word ’smash’ never ceases to make me laugh.
It’s good to see that intelligence in women is admired, appreciated and even sometimes desired by men. The fact that you’re mainly interested in boning them can be overlooked this once :P
But I want to point out that just because a woman (or anyone) has a degree in something from a prestigious university, even a PhD - doesn’t necessarily mean they’re intelligent. There are “doctors” out there that can be complete and utter f**ktards whp pretend to be intelligent. Sometimes I’d prefer the dumb people over these types.
The reverse can be said too, sometimes. A lot of intelligent people have never been to university.
Thankfully, most of the time a tertiary education is a good thing >.
Natalie Portman. Definitely. No Doubt.
Ada. The maggots make it all ticklish.
I can’t believe you are all passing up Sabrina Houssami. She is quite clearly the hottest one in the list, ever, infinity.
I’d pork ‘em all!
And then recite some Keats whilst wiping the mace from my eyes.
You forgot Danica McKellar, who played Winnie Cooper on the Wonder Years, studied at UCLA, majoring in mathematics, and graduated summa cum laude. She helps her fans with maths problems at her website, and she’s hot and awesome.
Kevin > that’s a GREAT one. How could I forget? You sir, are a man with taste.
mira aroyo. i betcha she wld be telling me it’s not the fault of ugly ppl that they are stupid, but their parents’ while we r at it like rabid monkeys/
altho the queen wld be nice as well. not that i wish to be in a threesome situation with the king. yuk.
but i wld sometimes prefer the girl im hammering to be a tad dumb so that she wont realise it and leave me too fast.
Carmen Kass might be the leader of chess association here, but she ain’t all that bright. Above average, but still not someone to get all hyped up on. AND she is model pretty, not girl pretty if you know what i mean.
I would damage Natalie Portman. Repeatedly.
In many offices.
Orifices also.
I cannot believe that you did not list Asia Carrera.
Danica McKellar - nice body, good brain, but her face looks like someone slammed a 5 lb. bad of nickels into it. Nothing a paper bad wouldn’t fix.
And Carmen Kass - nothing special in the looks or brains dept…. but unfortunately we’ve lowered our standards so much these days that we accept either a chick has to be fat, ugly & smart -OR- cute & dumb… ANYTHING other than this is AMAZING — ooooooo, wow!
P.S. Who separated Vanessa Mae & Lucy Liu at birth? :-)
Okay…this is easy…I would bone three of them. Mira Sorvino(yeah…Cum Laude), Natalie Portman (how can you say “no” in Hebrew?), and Sabrina Houssami(love the middle eastern)…if I only had a bone! All the other are a dime a dozen and my choices (as expected) are the cream of the crop…ha.
I am inspired to continue my education and make your next top 10!
This article has made me laugh SO much that my keyboard is liberally covered in tea and biscuit crumbs.
Oh, and it would have to be Mira No.1 as she is totally lovely. Totally.
cries into strategically placed bucket
i totally dig that there are no blonds. (carmen looks like a fake one)
Natalie Portman anyday.
God i hate ADA, 2 years of my life wasted programming in her poxy language (well the language named after her anyway).
i would definatly bone Severn Cullis-Suzuki…. shes cute 8)
looks like this article was dugg and front-paged.
and…from the look of the comments there, most of the people don’t quite seem to “get” yongfook.com…
To the people who took this article for what it is: a faintly amusing look at some trouser-pleasing chicks with brains - I thank you.
As an aside, I loved the comments along the lines of, “JUST BECOZ U GOTS A DEGREE DOSNT MEAN U R INTELIGGENT!!!”. What people fail to realise is that, (for example) in the case of Ms Portman - she is bilingual, went to an Ivy League university, continued with graduate studies AND at the same time juggled an incredibly demanding acting career around all of it. If that is not mentally taxing, I don’t know what is.
Some folk are profoundly short-sighted when it comes to people other than themselves.
Whoa whao sexy beeches ya!! lol

Whilst I understand that this whole topic was meant tongue-in-cheek and has to be taken in that spirit, I gotta respond to your comments about Natalie Portman. First, she in fact took a LOT of time off to go to school, and those films she did commit to worked around her academic schedule, so in this regard she wasn’t really unlike most students who study six to nine months of the year and then work during the summer. In Portman’s case, the fact that she was able to continue acting in movies whilst going to school is more a reflection of how far backwards studios were willing to bend over for her than any particuarly outstanding ability to multitask on her part.
Second — dude, have you ever been on a movie set? Actors have a LOT of downtime, EVERY day. And that’s just when they’re actually working. If there’s ANY profession that’s accommodating to pursuing individual intellectual/educational pursuits, it’s being a big movie star.
In sum, I think your characterization of her “highly demanding acting career!!!” is a wee bit of an exaggeration.
And even if Portman’s fabulous movie career was more of a distraction than I’m giving it credit for, here’s another point to consider: Portman was already a big fabulous movie star when she attended Harvard or wherever the fuck it was. While it may be terribly unfair, I have to exercise a wee bit of cynicism and wonder if this factor perhaps was taken into consideration by the university when it came to Portman fulfilling her academic requirements. Even at big prestigious Ivy League schools, with their lauded high academic standards, money and prestige can go a long way. May I remind you that George W. Bush also attended Harvard, and I doubt anyone here is gonna say, “George W. is a Harvard alumni, so that pretty much closes the book on the question of his intelligence.” Do you really think the Dean wouldn’t go a little easy on ol’ Natalie? “Well, you know, she’s not a typical student, she has a CAREER to think about!”
I know that, looked at in one light, this all appears like mean-spirited, petty sniping. Certainly completing a graduate degree under ANY circumstances is a sign that you aren’t a complete nonce. But you do have to put this stuff in context. It’s pretty clear you were sort of trying to subtly parody the sort of articles one would find in Cosmo or O, along the lines of “Meet the world’s hottest, most INTELLIGENT eligible women!” On the other hand, damn, but you seem to be standing up for Natalie Portman with the utmost sincerity! And on that note, I just had to comment.
Oh, and the woman was born in Israel and probably went to Hebrew school from a very young age. I know a lot of kids who went to French immersion. I’m sure the Americans here have friends who may have done the same with Spanish. It’s common. When you’re actually being educated in a second language from childhood, I wouldn’t say that being bilingual is really indicative of outstanding personal achievement. Learning a second language (or more) much later in life — THAT’s a much more admirable feat.
Mira Arroyo? Wow I used to go to university with her at UCL. Good to hear she’s done well for herself. Very. very intelligent girl annd lovely to boot.
definately Vanessa Mae. one of the sexiest asians i’ve ever seen. and no one plays the violin better than her.
Well, I’ve always sought both brains and beauty, I can’t stand a stupid woman, this is perhaps my downfall though.
On a lighter note, I think that Just a Thought guy had far too much time on his hands, at least, more than the average Yongfook visitor.
I certainly did today! :)
And Just a Thought said everything I wanted to. To be honest, being even a moderate profile public figure would tend to make the academia more forgiving, and while actors do have long hours where they have to be on set, the amount of time that they have to spend actively working is significantly lower than that. Also factoring in that in the 3 months they work on a film will more than support them for the coming year, I tend to think it would be a far sight easier than the students who work at a McJob over the summer for 8 hours a day, then go back to study, and often still work some shifts during semester. This is from experience as someone who in their Uni holidays tends to work 10-12 hours per day 5 days a week on their holidays, then 8-11 hours per week during semester. Notably I could work fewer hours, but I love my work colleagues and know that I can help them out by working longer.
That being said, I still like that intelligence is appealing.
Hey! What about Uma Thurman???
What about her?
Carmen Kass seems to be the coolest.
GEORGE W. WENT TO YALE. HIS DAD’S ALMA MATER. NOT HARVARD. HE GOT C’S. HE WAS SKULL AND BONES, WHICH IS PROBABLY THE ONLY REASON HE GRADUATED.
Well, OK, my bad, so he went to Yale. But you’ve still made my essential point — that power and connections go a long way towards getting into and through even supposedly higher-standard institutions like Ivy-league schools.
You’re doing this for traffic aren’t you, you dirty blogwhore.
Will gladly forget being straight and bone ALL of the life ones if I had the chance.
@JustaThought
what university did you go to and what did you study?
With all respect, that’s a bit of personal information I’d prefer not to disclose on here.
I want to bone Mira Sorvino.
Exactly what Just a Thought said.
I’m not saying (and I doubt Just a Thought is either) that these women are stupid, I’m just saying that your requisites for being dubbed ‘intelligent’ could be argued. Especially in the case of celebrities, where they have a big PR machine churning out stories to tell you how wonderful these women are, especially when they have to fly in the face of the papparazzi and glossy magazines that want nothing but scandal.
Secondly, yongfook, paraphrasing commenters (even if they are Digg commenters) as saying “JUST BECOZ U GOTS A DEGREE DOSNT MEAN U R INTELIGGENT!!!â€? when in fact most of them were at least using correct punctuation and had arguments to back up their opinion makes you look like a twat that can’t handle being told that your opinion is wrong. And hiding behind the “obviously they don’t ‘get’ yongfook.com” argument doesn’t stick either.
Oh God. My first post was just an off-the-cuff reaction to the OP, but if I knew that it was going to wind up derailing things like this, I never would of posted.
[…] Indeed. […]
Mine’s an off-the-cuff reaction too. I just happen to agree with yours :P
As for derailing, that tends to happen a lot here, doesn’t it? Especially after Digg gets involved.
The funny thing is, I guarantee you if Natalie Portman wasn’t on this list, I would have had 50 people all saying “OMGWTF you forgot Natalie Portman - she went to HARVARD and she’s TOTALLY HOT. DUDE UR GAY”.
As for paraphrasing people - Chidade, do you ever read my site? since when do I not berate the fuck out of all of you for every tiny little thing you do. You especially, since you seem to be this angry little criticism machine as of late.
The fact is, NONE of you have anything to base your opinion on other than assumption or hearsay. You are basically saying “yeah, can’t be that hard to study at Harvard and be an actress too”, but do you actually know? No, you know about as much as I do - sweet fuck all. I don’t see how that is being “proved wrong” - you’re just challenging my baseless view with yours, neither of us is right, but then it doesn’t really matter does it because this is just my personal list, on a blog that has reviews of carrot milk and podcasts about penises.
If you don’t like my list, don’t whine about it, get busy and make your own, or at least suggest alternatives. Simply saying “NOPE NOPE NOPE SHE’S NOT INTELLIGENT!!!!1″ isn’t constructive, and you’re arguing something that’s highly subjective anyway (Logically speaking, does anything you’ve said prove these women are NOT intelligent?). If you come up with a few women who should have been on the list, with real reasons, then I’ll give you your ivory tower back.
Speaking of subjectivity, I noticed something interesting. Whilst writing this I thought to myself how intelligence is subjective and wondered what the reaction would be to Vanessa Mae being on the list. She is probably the only person here completely grounded in “arts” and has had nothing but a music-related education since birth. Now, as a violin player I’m biased towards equating her talent with intelligence, but is she really intelligent? Can she string a coherent sentence together? Is she politically active? Can she program her VCR? To be honest, out of all the women in the list I thought she would be the one to get judged by all the cynics.
Predictably, Natalie Portman - arguably the most famous in a popular sense - got picked on the most.
Just to clarify — I never actually cast any doubt on Portman’s intelligence, nor said it was “easy” to attend Harvard and be an actress. But as someone who has actually worked in film, been on set, and seen what actors do with themselves all day, I know that it’s perfectly possible to both work AND study, especially if you have employers who are accomodating your schedule, which she had. All I’m doing is pointing out that your characterization of her career as being “incredibly demanding!!!!” is a wee bit exaggerated, given the circumstances.
Just_a_Thought > oh, and the other reason I’m sticking up for Portman is so that she might read this and want to bone me.
Cheers.
I suspected that. Go get her, boy.
Clever women are bloody sexy, almost regardless of looks. A flexible mind is a really major asset.
I can only date smart women. At a certain point, my natural causticity overrides my better judgement and I unconsciously point out stupid things that they say. I don’t do this to be malicious but it usually not long until they think that I am purposely making them feel stupid, and thus I have to drop them due to their incessant whining, “You really think I’m stupid don’t you? You do, don’t you? Don’t you? You do. Omigod. Nucular. Nucular!” Blah blah blah. Then I have to move on and hope that the next outstandingly beautiful girl that I pursue happens to be Natalie Portman…preferably too drunk to realize that I’m not famous or beautiful.
Actually, I was thinking about Vanessa Mae too, because if you look at obviously magnificent musicians like David Helfgott - he’s a brilliant pianist but mentally disabled and not the kind of person you would label intelligent. Intelligence is subjective, yes.

Well, I’d definitely bone Severn Suzuki…that is, if I was a guy with the proper wobbly bits to do that sort of thing. But alas, I’m not. Nonetheless, Severn gets my vote, for simply being from the same hometown as me…Vancouver! However, if I somehow were to succumb to an actual lesbian fantasy moment, I’d pick Natalie…and you. Join us?
I’d be the meat in a Mira sandwich. Especially since one sounds like she’s related to the corrupt Phillipino PM. Hehe. I think anyone who needs to get embroiled in a tussle over who is or isn’t smart enough for the list is kind of missing the point. I’m an Australian journalist so I’m now off to manufacture a way to interview Sabrina. Hubba hubba.
Severn Suzuki, definately. Being the environmentalist that she is, she wouldn’t mind having sex in the Sahara overlooking the plethora of animals. Animals we saved from extinction.
i wanted to pick on vanessa but being not as good lookin’ as half the women i know, i saved it for others.
okay okayy… i juz hate her coz all she does was play violin since 3 on her stepdad’s funds and gets called “brilliant” “amazing” “genius” and whatever.
if i were to be made to learn even juz the harmonica since i was 3, i wont be this shrivelled up fossil of a pissy woman getting paid in pebbles, but the famed performing monkey in a travelling circus, earning millions and millions of pesos.
i meant vanessa is not half as good looking as half the women i know.
i juz look like a man.
a good lookin one ,of coz.
Hi There, I’d like to nominate Kate Beckinsale, who’s beautiful and yet studied French and Russian Literature at Oxford. I also read she was an award winning writer in her youth. Bye for now Jason.

Kind of scary, does make your brain shrink a bit when you think of it.

some of these comments really clear things up about stupid BOYZ
If we’re including the dead, what about Hedy Lamarr?
You forgot Marissa Mayer, top boss at Google, AI expert also:
http://www.google.com/corporate/execs.html#marissa
From this list, since Ada is dead, I think I’ll go with Severn. You can obtain impresive degrees, but if you are going to model, act, sing, and you don’t put them in practice…
But will they like you back??
They all seem incredibly privileged so I’m not all that impressed, I mean Queen Rania of Jordan! If you were groomed the way these women were from the moment they were born, someone would be writing a goofy blog post about you. OK, mabye not. I’m going back to Reddit now. . .
Mira Sorvino definately, she is only one on the list that looks both hot and NOT bitchy
Mira Sorvino. she’s beautiful~
I read in an interview that Natalie Portman applied to Harvard using her grandmother/mother’s maiden name - cannot remember facts too clearly.
I dont know how transparent these applications are.
But this may add to the incredibly stupid debate of people trying to discredit her.
Having a career that involves being transatlantic is probably more than a little taxing on your academic career? Especially when you are curved against people who devote 24/7 to their academia. I understand most Harvard students are probably very involved in extra-cirriculars, but having an outside career is a completely different thing/burden altogether.
Sabrina Houssami is By FARRRRRRRRRRR the best on your list. She is an exceptioanal Human being. Really unmatched in quality. I Just read in the Herald Sun that she is now a member of MENSA (for ultra intelligent people). Hats off for the New Queen of Aussie.
Yes. Yes she is.
Tell me, did they happen to print her phone number in the Herald Sun?
Mira Aroyo - Alright, but I think Ladytron are overrated. Most of it sounds like French elevator music and screwing to that would completely ruin my flow. Mira Sorvino - Incredibly hot but had sex with Quentin Tarantino. It makes me think that her vag is going to want to bring John Travolta in on anything we do. Severn Cullis-Suzuki - Easily the best one on the list. She is adorable and intelligent. She’s actually so big you’d become Mr. Cullis-Suzuki and pretty much be defined by everything she does. But she’s adorable so you have to let it slide. Natalie Portman - Cute, but a midget. And while I do agree going to Harvard while shooting movies does require immense talent, I’m always suspicious of famous people who attend excellent schools after they’ve attained fame. Liya Kebede - Meh. Vanessa Mae - Being a musician (as a kid I was training to be a professional pianist. Then I quit and played guitar in black metal bands), I too am impressed by musical talent and equate it to intelligence, particularly when it’s a woman. I think more so than a man, a woman would be more likely to be thought of as intelligent than a male musician. That said, there are many brilliant musicians who are flat out dumb, and also completely jackasses. Most of the weirdest people I’ve met have been classical musicians. And yeah, she has the vag but whatever. Queen Rania - Royaltly? Corporate success? Bimyou. Carmen Kass - Well, she’s blonde and plays chess. I think this one is more of a proving wrong of expectations. You see a blonde and you expect her to be staring at a revolving door scared that it will kill her, but since she plays chess she’s intelligent. Sabrina Houssani - HOT. Absolutely ridiculously HOT. I was going to make a joke about Vagimite here but it’s too ribald. Ada - Oh, the things Jack the Ripper would have done with this Victorian era hottie.

Sorry to disappoint but Sabrina Houssami was just arrested under our new anti-terrorism laws for having a Middle-Eastern surname and being linked to Weapons of Mass-debating.
… and I still like pudding.

Sabrina Houssami Just Rules. At 19 year old only; winning so many beauty contest lastly Miss world Australia 2006 PLUS beating the best older professional debate teams PLUS raising hundreds of thousands of dollars for the sick and poor kids, make her the absolute best of any other competetor. She should really win the Miss world title in september this year. I am voting for her. Cheers.

Hous your mami Sabrina! HOUS YOUR MAMMI!!! YEEEE HAWWWWWW!!!
Ok, revel in my brilliant word-play and ignore the fact that I’ve posted about 5 times withing the space of a day.
Ew Ew Ewwwwww! I have to subconsciously cut that list down to 9 Danica McKellar, and exclude Cullis-Suzuki. Seeing as how my dad and Severn’s dad are/were associates, I’ve always viewed Severn as a little kid — at least she was the last time I saw her.
I could be nasty and point out reasons why some of these women might not be “way more intelligent than” me, but I won’t. My question is — why must I bone (one of) them? I’d love to drink a few beers with Mira Aroyo and discuss her top ten favourite albums but the boning would be absolutely unnecessary. For scoring purposes, which seems pretty much to be Jon’s question, Sabrina Houssami wouldn’t have to ask me twice.
George Bush went to Yale AND harvard by the way bubble, which proves he’s double crazy smart, and he likes to drink and party too if you ask Australian tennis players
Im thinking that Mr Bush caught contagium stupidititus some time between his days at Harvard and being elected President. Or the mention of his father gave him priviledge to study there.
[…] 10 beautiful women who are way more intellegent than you I knew about Natalie Portman, but Mira Sorvino? […]
To be honest, I never know that these ladies are that smart. I always like Vanessa Mae’s playing, but where did she studied at?
Since I’m not a guy, I couldn’t bone one of these women. But if I’m a guy, I would choose Mira Sorvino and Sabrina.
Brian, I like pudding too… Warm-centred chocolate pudding… mmmm…
The only woman that’s extremely attractive, here, (IMO) is Mira Sorvino. Now, why’d she have to go and marry someone 10 years her junior?
Sabrina Houssami has the edge on all these. She is absolutely stunning. Brains and Beautyand …. CLASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS.

I’m really more interested in your upcoming book. Very interested to know how I can achieve orgasms “Longer and Sometimes Entirely By Surpriseâ€?. Anything that can help improve my standard of living - Why worry about whether other women are intelligent or not when I can concentrate on me, myself and I(though I don’t believe that intelligence & beauty are entirely subjective, why else do we have beauty competitions and standardised testing? Or even something called “IQ”?). Do keep me posted :P
More “Anchorman” quotes please :D

After reading all the responses, I can’t remember who was on the list. So, to answer the question, “who would I bone?”, I say, “yes!” With the exception of Ada. Dead women don’t do it for me.
This choice (which I’m sure will be greeted by all the ladies with sighs of relief and joy) is contingent on the opportunity to take them to dinner (singly, or in groups) first and have some sparkling conversation with them.
As to Natalie Portman, I believe she is highly intelligent. That said, I have worked in restaurants with highly intelligent people. I have also known lawyers and doctors who failed utterly to impress with their intellect. I’m also certain that any doctor engaging in conversation with me on a subject of medicine or anatomy would consider me a bore of the first order. These things are subjective to a degree.
Finally, good post. I saw a link to it last week and should have checked it out then.
[…] I am in school at Purdue this week, so my better half did me a favor and chose a celebrity guest star. So, our first female celebrity guest is: NATALIE PORTMAN. Good choice. Interesting facts about Nat: A) She was the little girl in The Professional. I didn’t know this until a couple weeks ago. Good movie. B) She has a degree from Harvard in Psychology and can speak fluent Hebrew. I learned that a couple days ago from here. [Side note: I also learned that one of the women from Ladytron has a PHD in Genetics from Oxford.] and finally, C) She will f***in’ kill your dog for fun. Video Cat: […]
well, my wife’s name is Natalie…
but then again, I’ve always had something for tomboy aka girl-next-door looks (Severn)
in any case, being smarter than me (like my wife), is a good thing

Actually, in Australia, Miss Sabrina Houssami has managed to become one of the most disliked people in the country in a remarkably short time.
It turned out that she did not compete to win the crown for Miss World Australia, but was simply handed the title. Many other deserving girls were refused the opportunity to compete for the title. After this was revealed by the Australian media, Miss Houssami gave interviews calling the other contestants “bimbos” and saying she was the only logical choice for Miss Australia. It also turns out that she was not actually a Mensa member. She based her claims of being a Mensa member on having completed an on-line test which stated that she was ready for Mensa membership. Again, after this was revealed by the Australian media, she quickly applied for Mensa Membership, although it is not yet known whether she has obtained it yet.
I was a Mensa member until they kicked me out for not paying the membership fees. Since I’m not ultra-intelligent I can assure you that being a member does not mean as much as the media sometimes like to suggest.
If Sabrina Houssami indeed felt the need to brag about her intelligence using a supposed membership, well, shame on her.
She looks really hot, though. I like the bedroom eyes.
Great article BTW.
Actually, there has been a bit of a catfight on various message boards between our Miss World Australia, Sabrina Houssami, and her many detractors?
For those of you who did not follow the controversy, Miss Houssami was selected as Miss World Australia 2006 after the traditional competitions to select a MWA were cancelled after the organisers claimed they had insufficient time to organise paegents this year due to a change in the date of the finals. It was later revealed that the Australian organisers had known nine months previously that this was going to happen. Miss Houssami responded to the complaints of other Miss World Australia hopefuls that they were not given a chance to compete for the title by calling them “btches” and “bmbos” on national television, and claiming that they were being illogical for not accepting that she was the only logical choice for the position. It was also later revealed that she had misrepresented many of her academic qualifications, such as claiming to be a member of Mensa when in fact she had only completed an on-line test which stated that she could qualify for membership.
The topic of Miss Houssami is being discussed in various Australian message boards and forums. Mysteriously, in each of these threads, posters who have never been heard from before have written in, gushing unconditional praise for the saintly Miss Houssami, and accusing anyone who questions the manner of her selection of being a jealous fellow beauty paegent contestant. These posters all show an eerie level of knowledge of Ms Houssami, as well as the girls she competed against in various competitions. There was one poster on the vogue discussion board who only wrote posts lavishing hyperbolic praise on Miss Houssami, as well as continually reiterating that she was the only logical choice for Miss World Australia and the other contestants were being illogical in not accepting that (Sound familiar?). The said poster stopped posting after it was pointed out that the address the poster’s account was registered under was the same suburb that Miss Houssami lives in.

How intelligent you are is measured by what you do.
You chose Severn Cullis-Suzuki. Wow! That’s awesome! You should’ve heard her speech at the Earth Summit in Rio De Janeiro when she was a teen. FREAKIN’ AWESOME! She’s Canadian (yes, I have Canadian pride) and EA too! Whoot!
I used to be and still am inspired by some of these women that you’ve listed: Vanessa Mae, Severn Cullis-Suzuki (I’ve seen her dad twice at a couple of open discussions) and Natalie Portman.
Kudos to you, YF.
Wait…I just noticed your comment on the subjectivity of intelligence. To be honest, before I posted my comment, I had asked myself the same question: isn’t intelligence subjective? Then I remembered how psychologists seem to define intelligence.
In psych, they suggest that different kinds of intelligence exists in humans: intrapersonal, interpersonal, creativity/visual-spatial, auditory-musical, body-kinesthetic, verbal-linguistic and logical-mathematic.
So, it does explain Vanessa Mae’s inclusion on your list. ;)
They are ugly hoes!
Seems I arrived too late to the conversation - the spam comments have already begun. But if you’re looking for a blonde to add to the list, check out the Finnish beauty Linda Brava, aka Linda Lampenius: she is an acclaimed classical and folk violinist, a member of the Helsinki City Council… and a Playboy model.
Those who doubt the allure of Mira Aroyo need only do a GIS for the Ladytron album “Softcore Jukebox” - Mira’s on the cover, looking insanely hot in a skull and crossbones bikini.

What surprises me is that none of your ladyfans have managed to hit back with a list of 10 guys. (Do I hear Quiet seething in the corner..?)

Wrong. Ladytron’s Mira Aroyo DID NOT EVEN ATTEND University. There is no PhD in Genetics from Oxford University in bold type to add to the impressive prestige. She says so herself in this interview- http://www.thunderchunky.co.uk/ladytron-interview.html
How we women do love to be perceived as intelligent.
[…] From Yongfook, the Japanese Food and Tech Blog, a list of ten women who are as brilliant as they are beautiful. For example, see Mira Aroyo: Bulgarian model, lead-singer of Ladytron, and a genetics PhD graduate from Oxford University. Or Queen Rania of Jordan who in addition to wealth and hotness, can boast of her involvement in several core economic and welfare-related issues including best practices in the field of microfinance. And Carmen Kass, the young lady pictured? - President of the Estonian Chess Association. See the whole list (Warning: some of the language and comments are not very tasteful and probably not safe for work). […]
[…] No but seriously fellow man-people, a beautiful yet intelligent woman (heh. I said “yetâ€?) is something that deserves our worship as much as our apprehension. You see, beautiful women don’t need to be intelligent. They’ll get along just fine in life saying “O RLY?â€? read more | digg story […]
Wow really love to get close a smart woman (alive ofcourse)
