| A Blonde walks into a bank in New York City and asks for the loan officer. She says she is going to Europe on business for two weeks and needs to borrow $5,000. |
| The bank officer says the bank will need some kind of security for such a loan, so the Blonde hands over the keys to a new Rolls Royce parked on the street in front of the bank. |
| Everything checks out, and the bank agrees to accept the car as collateral for the loan. An employee drives the Rolls into the bank's underground garage and parks it there |
| Two weeks later, the Blonde returns, repays the $5,000 and the interest, which comes to $15.41. |
| The loan officer says, "We are very happy to have had your business, and this transaction has worked out very nicely, but we are a little puzzled. While you were away, we checked you out and found that you are a multimillionaire. What puzzles us is why would you bother to borrow $5,000?" |
| The Blonde replied, "Where else in New York can I park my car for two weeks for 15 bucks?" |

| From New York, NY to Portland, OR |

| After gaining extensive experience in my native New York as a graphic designer and art director for nationally known companies such as L'Oreal, Charles of the Ritz, Estée Lauder and JCPenney Co., our family relocated to the Pacific Northwest in 1989. |
| After several glorious years as a domestic goddess and stay-at-home-mom, I decided I needed a less stressful job (!) so, I joined The Fox Creative Group in Portland as an art director. |
| In 1999, I struck out on my own and launched Victoria Munroe Design, which became Smart Blonde Design in 2004. |
| Woking for oneself can be challenging but it is also very rewarding. I count myself fortunate to be able to say I truly love what I do. For more information, please: |
