I've never been to Argentina, where the developer in question is from. However, I've lived in 5 different international cities this year, and in at least 3 of them (Bangkok, Tokyo, and Kyiv) I have noticed that women professionals put a lot of time and effort into their appearance, including hair, makeup, clothing, jewelry, and accessories. Yes, this includes sci/tech personnel. As another noted, those working in the fashion/beauty industry in the US - including those in IT - do the same. I'm not making any value judgement here, but I think we should open our minds to other cultural perspectives since that appears to be at work here.
