I'm not a dumb blonde: Paris Hilton

Socialite-DJ Paris Hilton said she is not a dumb blonde and loves when people get to see that she is a strong businesswoman.

Although people often expect her to be ditzy, Paris said they are pleasantly surprised when they hear her talk about her

business empire, reported Femalefirst.

"If someone hasn't met me yet, they automatically have their misconceptions about me. As soon as I am in a board room in front of them talking about my business, they immediately know I'm not the dumb blonde they thought I was," Paris, 35, said.
