I'd love to hear about more smart slut characters; can't think of any offhand, myself.
I've frequently been annoyed that blondes are always (fsvo always) portrayed as dumb, and back around 1997 created the Blonde Ice Bitch From Hell. She was supposed to be one of those very smart, very self-centered nasty blondes that were in those 40's movies and hard-boiled detective novels. She had a lot of fun blowing away the Terminally Stupid with her e-derringer, elsenet, but otherwise was rather two-dimensional. I was so sure she was a strong archetype, but when I went looking for her in movies from then, I couldn't find her. Hm. Puzzling.
I puzzled bunches of other people, too, because I'm not, in fact, blonde. But anyway.
Good luck on the search for brilliant sluts. Would success result, perhaps, in a movie-fest?
