The issue is that her appearance should have no relation to what she said.

Imagine if you were her. You just spent some time preparing this and then spending an hour giving a speech to Stanford students. Meanwhile, all someone states about you is

> Intelligence has never been this adorable: Marissa Mayer, the sexy, hyperactive, geeky Vice-President of Search Product and User Experience at Google. Her Googliness was at Stanford University, giving her insightful take on creativity, followed by the usual Q&A. She's really the girl of the millenium.

The description is whole focused on her appearance and doesn't even go into the subject matter of her speech. Her entire speech that she devoted time into is summarily dismissed and turned into "Intelligence has never been this adorable."
