Can somebody please tell me why?

Really? What about Gentlemen Prefer Blondes?

Google search turned up this:
http://www.us.oup.com/us/apps/totd/u...e=usage&id=126
(FWIW, I disagree with the usage note's "Part B" caveat - I don't assume "blond" (as a noun) always means a woman and is therefore sexist per se; when I see "blond" (no "e"), I think of cute surfer boys, Owen Wilson, etc.)

Only if you're an anglophile. American usage is "blond" for both sexes.
