MOST GOOD Looking & Cutest Googler Marissa Mayer
<<Google’s Vice President of Search Product and User Experience was recently profiled in a Vogue Magazine article that offered a in-depth glimpse into the exec’s lifestyle, loves, career and fashion preferences. Now, Mayer has been named as one of Glamour Magazine’s 2009 Women of the Year.
Mayer has been frequently profiled in business and technology publications over the years, but it’s also nice to see her achievements highlighted in magazines like Vogue and Glamour. The brainy Stanford-grad has been able to set an example for young women everywhere. As one of Google’s early hires, she’s now helping to lead product design for one of the world’s most innovative companies. And she’s only 34. What’s not to love about a successful and geeky coder who also loves to wear Oscar de la Renta, Chanel and Armani? >>
<<She tells Farhad Manjoo:
“When people think about computer science, they imagine people with pocket protectors and thick glasses who code all night,” Mayer jokes. “I do code all night! I am the stereotype, but I also break the stereotype.” Among her goals: to bring more women into technology and teach them to take chances. “Get in a bit over your head,” she says. “That’s how you grow and learn and stretch yourself.” >>
i am truly impressed with this enlightened pick for “woman of the year”
Congrats Ma'm , u represents the very ideal of silicon valley: a truly entrepreneurial spirit, who by sheer force of will has surmounted huge obstacles to reach the pinnacle of tech success.

Easy, now. Let's get one thing PERFECTLY clear: we appreciate Marissa for her brain, not any shallow Glamour Style attributes. She does, after all, do code all night.
