"Bombshell" Defined

In my last post about a pornstar Feature Dancer I mentioned that she was "cute, but not a bombshell". Reader JeN left me a comment to ask:

"She's cute but not a bombshell. For you, what makes a woman a "bombshell"?

Good question. Let me try to answer that.

First let me say that my comment was not intended to express a preference of "cute" over "bombshell" or vice versa. It is a descriptive comment only. As I tell my stories here of my time spent in the clubs I try to be descriptive to help set the scene. To paint a word picture, as such, to help you relate to my experience. In fact, I've had nice time in the strip clubs with "cute" girls and "bombshell" girls alike.

Since the post that the "bombshell" reference was in was about a porn star who was a Feature Dancer that night, let me start my definition of the word "bombshell" within the porn context. If you've watched a fair amount of porn, you can probably follow me here. Most of the high profile porn girls are what I would put in the "bombshell" category. Jenna Jameson. Brianna Banks. Tera Patrick. Kobe Tai. We're talking dolled-up wonder girls who have had significant plastic surgery to enhance their natural attributes. Which is fine by me. They're very hot. Again, I'm only being descriptive - not expressing a preference.

There is an equally talented, but probably less well known, category of porn girls who go with what nature gave them and rely on cuteness and talent alone. All three of the porn star Feature Dancers that I've written about here fall into that category: Felecial, Inari Vachs, Stephanie Swift. Again, fine by me. They are very cute and very talented and very hot as well.

I could illustrate the difference if you could see some of the very first magazine photos of Jenna Jameson, before she became the "bombshell"'d up mega star that she is today. The early version "cute". The current version "bombshell". Both hot.

The same dichotomy applies in stripper world, at least by my observation. There are strippers that are "cute" and natural and talented. There are strippers that are all "strippered up" and in the bombshell category. Also talented. Plastic surgery. Great outfits. Mega tans. All of that. Again, I'm just being descriptive - not expressing a preference.

I will make two observations though:

1. I'm would guess that there is some difference in the ability to make good bank in the "bombshell" category than in the "cute" category. It's why the "cute" girls are saving their money for some surgery in a lot of cases. However, I could easily be wrong on that. I'm sure there are some "cute" girls in the "unobtainable" category who make good bank as well.

2. Most of the dancers that I've written about here are in the "cute" category. So, maybe I do have a personal preference.

That's my thoughts.

Anyone else have a thought on this topic? Dancers - speak up.
