Gentlemen Prefer Blondes: The Intimate Diary of a Professional Lady[1] is a comic novel written by Anita Loos first published in 1925. It is one of several famous novels published that year to chronicle the so-called Jazz Age, including Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby and Van Vechten’s Firecrackers. Loos was inspired to write the book after watching a sexy blonde turn intellectual H. L. Mencken into a lovestruck schoolboy.
