Rosalie Duthé, Anita Loos, Bill Wenzel, and Barbie.
I think at this point we've all accepted there's no single bimbo point of origin (or, POO). No bimbo ground zero. Rosalie Duthé is often cited as not only the first example of a bimbo but the first dumb blonde.
At the moment, she's even on the Wikipedia page!
Tumblr media
Which is honestly really unfortunate imo seeing as she was a real person and a prostitute, but that's neither here nor there, I guess. Anyway. Unless I'm mistaken, we don't actually know much about Rosalie Duthé. And even if she was a singular influence on the very concept of bimbos and dumb blondes, then what happened? Where are the examples of dumb blonde and bimboish characters appearing in plays and literature from 1775 onward? How far did this idea spread outside of France? I'm not saying its not possible or that these examples don't exist, but its hard to pin down. When Rosalie Duthé was alive "bimbo" was still only Italian for "little boy". And while the play mocking her may have introducd the concept of the dumb blonde that doesn't mean it was necessarily solidified as an archetype right then and there.
Enter Anita Loos. By the time her comic novel, Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, is published in November of 1925 (after having been serialized in Harper's Bazaar) the dumb blonde, bimbo, and gold digger are already established archetypes. While Loos most definitely helped popularize these idea with her internationally best-selling often-adapted satire, she was utilizing what was already there. If anything the original idea she pushed was that men prefer blondes and that blondes have more fun. Anita Loos also wrote the screenplay for the 1932 film, Red-Headed Woman, where Jean Harlow plays an ambitious flirty giggly woman that fucks pretty much every male character that appears in the film (and doesn't appear in the film).

Then of course in the 50s we get Marilyn Monroe, Jayne Mansfield, Mamie Van Doren, and Judy Holliday. There were also men's magazines like Humorama featuring art from artists like Bill Ward, Dan DeCarlo, and Bill Wenzel. Featuring women who were either clueless, horny, or gold-digging, but all extremely buxom.

And 1959 saw the release of the original Barbie, which was just a slightly modified version of Bild Lilli, a German sex doll. I don't have much to say about that, its still something I need to do more research on, and that's part of the point of this post. Connections are there but hard to find. I really can't speak to what influence Barbie has had specifically, I think it may all be surface level, but there's something to be said about the fact so many women I follow will cite or invoke her. And that "doll" is even considered a compliment/ideal in general, physically and non-physically. You know in the sense of "You're such a doll" or "She's so pretty she looks like a doll." Its interesting. My friend says dolls represent "an easily replicated curated aesthetic" and that may be the reason for the point of reference.
There was a lot more I was going to say and this post was going to be a lot less nonsensical but I am extremely tired. I thought I could clearly and quickly get my thoughts out before I had to go to sleep. I was wrong. Sorry. Goodnight!

no offense intended to anyone (im about to say something at least mildly offensive) but i saw a really bad post about "bimbos of color" that one of my followers on here reblogged. not only did the women not look like bimbos but one of the images was even very obviously AI generated.
its kind of been bothering me, especially since i've been planning a bimbo diversity post for a while now, though mine was more about the importance of personal expression. i want to make a point that all bimbos don't need to look the same. a lot of bimbo blogs on here and in general bimbo spaces online just stick to one look and i hate that women might see that and think they genuinely need to sacrifice their individuality to be a bimbo. and i realize you may be thinking "they do, that's the point of being a bimbo", i understand that and some women may just want to sacrifice their individuality and be a carbon copy of a carbon copy, but i disagree. i believe there's room for fat bimbos, flat bimbos, natural bimbos, punk bimbos,, etcetera etcetera. the problem is
finding examples
figuring out the common "bimbo tells" -- how do all these women look "bimbo" when they all look different?
because i don't much about makeup, photoshop, facetune, or... anything in regards to beauty and physical appearance. i even looked through Pink Bimbo Academy's blog to see if I could get some sort of idea (i really admire what they do, btw) but maybe i'm tackling this all from the wrong angle and Limerick's tool box theory (it wasn't even Limerick's, hell, I'd came up with the same idea earlier) is the one to utilize in this instance. all these different women don't look like bimbos because they look alike... but because they look like bimbos.
my old notes explain it better:
Tumblr media
i think another reason why the idea of bimbo diversity has been weighing down on me so much lately because of Ashten, Ashten and everybody. i would just like to emphasize once again that copious amounts of extremely dangerous surgery isn't the only way.
Tumblr media
im posting this as an example but i don't even know how dangerous lip fillers/injections are... go figure. anyway, expect a post maybe later tonight. im not sure if itll be writing or just pictures at this point or what. and there may be drawings instead of just IRL examples bc im sure they exist but examples of fat bimbos have been extremely hard to find... maybe i'll make two posts.

i spent a long time writing this so i'm not going to proofread. sorry if its rambling, incoherent, or repetitive.
part of the struggle for me when it comes to IRL bimbos, and I've mentioned this before, is that they're whole human beings and usually if you're opting into bimboism and identifying yourself as a bimbo it means you're putting on an act, especially if you're a sex worker and bimbo is your brand. you're not someone who would naturally be called a "bimbo". maybe in the sense you have a ton of plastic surgery, blonde-ish hair, and huge fake tits, but you're not dumb, flighty, or frivolous.
i think when it comes to IRL bimbo stuff, and this is by no means judgement, it has a bit more to do with objectification and by extension, submission. and that's why you get... rude people. entitled people. men, i mean. the impetus being these terrible replies i saw on @stephaniemichelleirl's twitter.
Tumblr media
i'm trying not to make sweeping assumptions here but i get the sense things like this happen a lot. and to be completely honest even just the hyperfocus on big tits as objects of lust confound me. the focus on pieces instead of the whole.
i'm not going to sit here and pretend i haven't objectified women, that i don't objectify women, but it kinda has diminishing returns, doesn't it? at least for me it does. in most instances its hard for me to think of a woman as just an image. i'm not sure how many others feel this way. cause i think a lot of people can find an image or video of someone they think is physically attractive and just get off to them without even knowing they're name or anything, at least as far as pornography is concerned.
but objectification and dehumanization isnt necessarily my point. my point is that i genuinely love the bimbo persona, even beyond sexual context. a few months ago i had referred to the bimbo persona and my need to perceive women as dumb as an act of dehumanization, and perhaps it is dehumanizing to be "dumb", but i think more than that its just that i love women who are vapid, self-serving, attention-seeking, silly/not concerned with intelligence, or at least appear that way. and if anything, im interested in their humanity. and its their humanity that turns me on. i admire the confidence, salaciousness, kindness, exaggeration, bitchiness, and idiosyncrasies of disparate bimbo women. "bimbo" itself is dehumanizing and it shouldn't be.
this is also where the tiktokers fall flat. their goal is to reclaim "bimbo" as a mode of expression, which to them just means: wearing pink, acting girly, and dressing sexy and acting dumb but in an ironic #girlboss way. they have no interest in actually redeeming wronged women like Anna Nicole Smith or Jessica Hahn before her, no interest in defending their behavior or honoring their humanity. they just want to wear pink and regurgitate white liberal talking points. none of the people who see bimbos or bimbofication as a meme actually respect or care about actual bimbos. in a way they're guilty of dehumanization themselves. using self ID'd bimbos, bimbo art, or just women with a lot of plastic surgery as momentary means of entertainment.

doing some reflection, I realize now its extremely necessary for me to scale back my operations. ive mentioned before how wide-reaching this fetish is while being so niche but one of Limerick's responses in my mcforum thread made me realize just how far-reaching it really is.
there are bimbofication stories on deviantart, amazon, smashwords, CHYOA, the overflowing bra, the unending be archive, the changing mirror forums, ASSTR, fictionmania, storiesonline, literotica. there's probably bimbofication stories on websites i've never even heard of. i mainly stick to mcstories, and even then there's hundreds of bimbo stories on there i haven't read. and of what i have read, i don't really venture outside my comfort zone. i know who and what i like in bimbo fiction and stick to it. all i know are my preferences and they're just that... my preferences.
and thats not even getting into the wealth of bimbo art out there. 3D artists who have been making comics for 20 years. artists who's work was never archived. artists who's works are popular but im just not into. the IRL sex workers and bimbo models, the entire bimbo BDSM community. there's just so much... bimbofication is sort of the silent fetish. its everywhere and nowhere all at once. its always been mainstream but's always been niche.
im just one man. and i haven't even really been alive that long. i will write, but i can only write what i know. so i can't be as comprehensive as i want to, as i feel like i need to be, and i hate that but i hope my... what can i call what im doing here? my deranged fetish ramblings inspire other more wise and knowledgeable than me to step up and throw their hat in the ring. i don't think its possible to organize and outline the bimbo and bimbo transformation fetishes but it'd still be nice to accrue as much information as we can... for the historians.

Just wanted to address this real quick. I haven't been posting or doing much lately in regards to reading, writing, or... anything.
So far nothing's come out of my last interaction but it did make me realize finally that why I've been so stagnant and struggling is bc this is difficult to do alone. I can't come to the conclusions I would like to alone. I don't view myself as an authority (tbf, I don't think anybody does) but as a theorist I need feedback, I need discussion, movement so ideas can develop and flourish. But very few people (virtually none) seem interested in engaging me on that level, providing feedback, or having discussions. I mean, maybe its also my fault, I don't know. It would just be such an enormous help to be able to have more people to talk to. Writing about such an expansive fetish based entirely off my own opinion is bullshit. I don't want to tell people what bimbos should be I want provide information about what bimbos (in a fetish context) have been and are. You know, like a history and sociology textbook, not a guide, pamphlet, or how-to.
And speaking of theorizing maybe I should've made @bimtheory the main blog, that title does get the idea across better. I suppose I could write and release something insulated that causes discussion further down the line (not that I wouldn't want my book to cause discussion and divide anyway!) but it'd be nice if I could have more opinions and thoughts going into this from the beginning. If I could collaborate with the few other people dissecting this stuff or have made a career out of this stuff. It's like I'm writing a Superman movie but can't talk to anyone who's ever wrote a Superman comic.

also since, the bimbo tag is banned, how do we feel about using #bimbette or #bimbeau in its place?
