When I think about Lisa Kudrow as a bimbo I think about her role in Romy & Michele, not as Phoebe from Friends. A strong, powerful bimbo that owns a business-what more could you want? Romy & Michele’s High School Reunion (1997) Photo: Touchstone Pictures Pamela Anderson plays a night club owner that works as a bounty hunter on the side. She had lofty goals and worked on manifesting them often. Miss Holly Golightly was one of the many blueprints for the modern bimbo. Gentleman Prefer Blondes has a little bit of everything, including the classic bimbo hit “Diamonds Are A Girls Best Friend.” Monroe is considered one of the most prolific actresses in history. You can’t write a bimbo watchlist without bringing up one of the originals, miss Marilyn Monroe herself. Gentleman Prefer Blondes (1953) Photo: 20th Century Fox Bring It On is one of the few on this list that features Black women at all, and even then, it’s become a canon for profiling the systemic racism in the United States rather than simply letting young Black women be themselves, happily. There are, admittedly, not enough movies that correctly place Black women as the blueprint for many of the fashion styles that are popular again today alongside the bimbo movement. It should be prefaced that this list is largely void of racial diversity. This article is simply a list of movies that will inspire your bimbofication process in 2021, including a roundup of some early aughts films that have served as the blueprint for the modern bimbo. If you want to read a thoughtful reflection on what it means to be a bimbo in 2021, this is not that article ( that article is here, and it is very well-written). The modern bimbo is beautiful, intelligent, and effortlessly nice, and we should all strive to be a little more like her. The movement argues that beauty and brains do go together, and embraces a world where women can be themselves without having to fear that they’ll be perceived as stupid.

In fact, it’s a way to cheat the oppressive, capitalist system that we’re all slaves to. In the past, the term has been used to imply that women, especially hyper-feminine women, are stupid and unable to be both beautiful and smart.Īfter years of collectively making fun of influencers and celebrities that monetize their beauty as a societal flaw, young people are banding together to argue that there’s nothing wrong with doing just that. These days the term refers to anyone (the word ‘bimbo’ is not gender-specific, and there’s even the term ‘himbo’ for anyone that identifies as male but wants to join in on the cause) that doesn’t judge others for valuing beauty, and values their own. The stereotype, once used as a misogynistic way to put down women like Paris Hilton who used their beauty as a way to monetize themselves and start a career, is being reclaimed by Gen Z TikTok and social media users in 2021.

After OnlyFans became one of the biggest movements of 2020, more and more young people are taking pride in wanting to live independent lives.

2019 may have been hot girl summer, but 2021 is the year of the bimbo.
