Re: Bubble Gum Popped - Querying the "Bimbo" stance
Personally, I feel that there are two groups that are sometimes melded into one under the "bimbo" umbrella. You have the group that just want to have fun and be sexy. Then you have the other that more rightly would be called "airheads" or those with low intelligence. Sometimes these overlap but I don't think one necessarily implies the other.
The 'archetype', as it were, I think was subverted beautifully in the movie version of "Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs" with Sam Sparks.
