To elaborate on the title of my post - as is a habit, I'll admit - I would like to propose two queries to the community at large, and most particularly to those who have a liking for the "Bimbo" in either representation or tendency, as seen most memorably on the site's well known "Bimbo/Mind Control" thread, and to a lesser extent in the "More general/increased beauty" thread too.
My ideas are not particularly ground breaking, though it occurred to me to circulate this curiosity, as I cannot recall seeing these, too much, around or in most recent media discussed.
1) Could it be said the popular, recognisable "Bimbo" archetype has ever been deconstructed in relevant media, or that related to our forum?
2) Has it ever been that the "Bimbo" archetype, as either a outcome or perhaps a phase, has been subverted?
All and any insight is appreciated as, though this subject is very familiar to me, I have not particularly engaged with it with the investment that others have, in the past ^^;.
Thanks,
Alchemical Night.

Maybe but I doubt it. The role of a bimbo is usually to provide titillation, and any sort of deconstruction would probably detract from that. It would be like watching a porno and 30 seconds in the woman says "Stop, I'm just not in the mood right now" and walks of the set. It would be interesting, but would defeat the purpose of watching porn in the first place.
Not saying it's never happened, but most media seems to have enough trouble just subverting the typical "female" stereotype, never mind bimbos.
