History Main / BlondeRepublicanSexKitten

She'll sometimes be portrayed unsympathetically, as either a StepfordSmiler or a kind of grown-up, politicized version of AlphaBitch. In these cases, she functions as an extension of the StrawmanPolitical. Either way, since the emphasis is on her appearance rather than her views, it is a way to feature Republican characters without having anyone make Republican arguments, thus no risk of StrawmanHasAPoint. In these cases there's a reasonably good chance that she'll undergo a HighHeelFaceTurn upon realizing her party bosses are evil, chauvinist pigs. Of course, by presenting an opponent as a hypersexualized hate object, [[BrokenAesop the work embraces the very values it claims to be against]].

* ''{{24}}'' implies Audrey Raines to be this, as she is the blond daughter of Secretary of Defense James Heller, who happens to serve for the Republican Keeler/Logan administrations.

** Season 6's Nadia Yassir also identifies herself as Republican.

* [[Characters/{{Firefly}} Inara Serra]], of ''Series/{{Firefly}}'' is a Brunette Republican Sex Kitten [[InSpace in space]]! Most of the Alliance supporters we had seen were big burly men, then in "Out of Gas" [[HighClassCallGirl Inara]] tells us that she supported Unification...

* Avery from ''Series/ThirtyRock'' is a blonde, sexy (she's portrayed by ElizabethBanks), conservative talk-show host. In other words, a perfect match for Jack Donaghy. "Welcome back to Fox News. I'm blonde."

* [[Characters/TheThickOfIt Emma Messinger]] of ''Series/TheThickOfIt'', except replace "Republican" with "Tory".

A character type that shows that not all Republicans are stuffy old men and that not all women are Democrats.

Often a PoliticalStereotype even if she's not a strawman. See also FoxNewsLiberal.

There is also a nice chance that the Blonde Republican Sex Kitten is a MagnificentBastard with a sharp mind that plays the "snobby feminine airhead" role because its [[ObfuscatingStupidity either convenient or expected]] from her. In that case, it may be the cover of a particularly sneaky FemmeFatale.

* The title character of ''{{Ninotchka}}'' is a blonde ''communist'' sex kitten whose [[DefrostingIceQueen eventual defrosting]] arguably makes her something of a [[FoxNewsLiberal Fox News Communist]] as well. Notably though, the movie doesn't portray the average citizen of the Soviet Union as bad, only the government--which is more surprising when you consider the movie was made in 1939.

* In Mira Grant's ''Feed'', Representative Kristen Wagman (who also used to be a stripper) promises in her first election that for every thousand votes, she'll wear something ''else'' inappropriate to the floor. Obviously she won by a landslide for Congress, but lost the presidential candidacy.

* Kirsten Cohen from ''Series/TheOC'' is an attractive blonde HotMom, and at one point in the series it's mentioned that she's a political conservative.

* One issue of the 2000s revival of ''TheSpirit'' by Darwyn Cooke features a NoCelebritiesWereHarmed version of Coulter named "Mare Noltly" who unsuccessfully tries to seduce the hero when he questions her on a recent murder.

* Marcy D'Arcy from ''Series/MarriedWithChildren'' was a hardcore Republican and a feminist (albeit perhaps more the StrawFeminist, particularly in the later seasons when every character on the show had their personalities {{Flanderiz|ation}ed). The only things that made her a subversion of the trope was that Marcy was a brunette and enjoyed sex (which was later Flanderized into her being a sex maniac).

->''Yeah, Ainsley, I wanted to say hello, and to mention, you know, uh, a lot of people assumed you were hired because you were a [[TropeNamer blonde Republican sex kitten]], and well they're obviously wrong. Keep up the good work.''

Since shows heavy in [[StrawmanPolitical Political Strawmen]] can over do it by painting the other side as evil, this character can sometimes be a raging example of EvilIsSexy for an established character with opposing political views. The political dissonance can consequently ignite BelligerentSexualTension between the two, leading to a SlapSlapKiss relationship, often involving arguments about contentious culture war issues as the making out gets heated. Sometimes the established character can find the kitten sexy ''because'' they're so diametrically opposed to everything s/he stands for.

* The 2008 miniseries ''[[TheDCU DC Universe]]: Decisions'', written to cash in on the U.S. presidential election, has LoisLane spilling Republican talking points (or at the very least, opinions that the ''libertarian'' wing of the Republican Party would endorse) while asking Clark who he plans to vote for. Given that DC likes to keep its heroes nonpolitical (besides ultra-left wing Green Arrow and uber-conservative Hawkman, anyway), this will most likely be ignored in future stories. That said, [[FridgeBrilliance it's not altogether inconsistent for a fairly wealthy army-brat who makes her living off of the personal freedom of the press to be interested in a moderate-Republican former soldier like John McCain.]] Counterpoint being that Lois Lane is a crusading seemingly liberal journalist with a primary focus on social issues. In the past, her opinion of the Republican Party has been shown to be quite negative. But generally as throwaway references, most of which are quite old: anger at "12 years of Republican administrations" was cited as one of the causes of the anger that enabled her DemonicPossession during the ''Eclipso: The Darkness Within'' crossover in the early 1990s. Arguably, since the actual lines Lois spoke in "Decisions" seem to largely be in line with ''libertarian''-Republican views and not necessarily ''conservative''-Republican views, it actually could still fit well with the Eclipso anecdote, as most libertarians generally resent social conservatism and have generally been unhappy with its prevalence within the GOP in recent decades.

* In Creator/WoodyAllen's ''Melinda and Melinda'', in the comedic half of the movie, Will Ferrell's character begins dating a blonde Republican who posed for {{Playboy}}.
* The title character of ''{{Ninotchka}}'' is a blonde ''communist'' sex kitten whose [[DefrostingIceQueen eventual defrosting]] arguably makes her something of a [[FoxNewsLiberal Fox News Communist]] as well. Notably though, the movie doesn't portray the average citizen of the Soviet Union as bad, only the government- which is more surprising when you consider the movie was made in 1939.

* MargaretThatcher - [[LoveActually or at least one of her successors thought so]]
--->'''The Prime Minister:''' You have this kind of problem? Yeah... of course you did, you saucy minx!

* JuliaRoberts plays Joanne Herring, a [[FieryRedhead spunky, red-haired version]] in ''CharlieWilsonsWar''. Her hyper-femininity is mostly a facade, as she's the third wealthiest person ''[[EverythingsBigInTexas in Texas]]'', who uses her money and connections to be politically active behind the scenes.
* Tracy Flick in ''{{Election}}''. While she doesn't voice GOP views, her mother writes to Elizabeth Dole on tips for becoming an accomplished woman for her daughter and at the end of the movie, [[spoiler:she works as an intern and has an affair with a Republican Politician.]]

* Melissa Good's [[strike:FanFic]] completely original story, ''TropicalStorm'', whose two lead female characters just happen to physically, emotionally and characteristically resemble another pair of female leads from [[XenaWarriorPrincess a series that shall not be mentioned]] due to copyright law[[note]]Snarkiness aside, it's actually a fun read, and the author can be rather tongue-in-cheek at times.[[/note]], includes in its universe a woman by the name of Kerry, who is [[BlondeRepublicanSexKitten Blonde, Sexy, and a Republican]] (though of the [[GayConservative Log Cabin]] variety).
* In Mira Grant's ''Feed'', Congresswoman Kristen Wagman (who also used to be a stripper) promises in her first election that for every thousand votes, she'll wear something *else* inappropriate to the floor. Obviously she won by a landslide for Congress, but lost the presidential candidacy.

* Ainsley Hayes (Emily Procter) from ''TheWestWing'', for whom this trope is named. At least two Procter fan-sites have this name. Unlike some of the other examples here, Procter's character is a goodie. She was also memorable for being introduced as a BlondeRepublicanSexKitten, CousinOliver, [[AlwaysSomeoneBetter Minnesota Fats]], SouthernFriedGenius, and TokenMinority all at once.
** Would Joe Quincy count as a male example? Donna even points out he's the male equivalent of Ainsley Hayes.
* Avery from ''Series/ThirtyRock'' is a blonde, sexy (she's played by ElizabethBanks), conservative talk-show host. In other words, a perfect match for Jack Donaghy. "Welcome back to Fox News. I'm blonde."
* Marcy D'Arcy from ''MarriedWithChildren'' was a hardcore Republican and a feminist (albeit perhaps more the StrawFeminist, particularly in the later seasons when every character on the show had their personalities [[{{Flanderization}} Flanderized]]). The only things that made her a subversion of the trope was that Marcy was a brunette and enjoyed sex (which was later Flanderized into her being a sex maniac).
* Harriet Hayes from ''{{Studio 60 On The Sunset Strip}}'' is a version of this trope, being an evangelical Christian. Goody. She's based on KristinChenoweth (in particular, her relationship with Creator/AaronSorkin), though Chenoweth self-identifies as a liberal Christian and unambiguously supports gay rights.
* Kitty Walker from ''BrothersAndSisters''. Full name Katherine, making it two uses of a MeaningfulName. Also a goodie, but that show doesn't really have heroes and villains.
* Slight variation: Sharon Tyler from ''{{Wonderfalls}}'' perfectly defines this trope, even if she happens be a [[GayConservative lesbian]].
* Dr. Elliot Reid from ''{{Scrubs}}''. Semi-subversion -- she is young, attractive, conservative and has what she considers to be loose morals (though they are pretty normal for a TV person), but she is also extremely neurotic about all the pre-marital sex she has. Of course, she's extremely neurotic about ''everything''. For most of the series, she hides the fact that she is even a republican (or at least votes that way).
* Jane Halliday from ''{{LA Law}}'', a beautiful blonde Fundamentalist Christian.

* Sarah Harding in the ''To Play The King'' section of ''Series/{{House Of Cards|UK}}'', who's also something of a BastardUnderstudy to Urquhart, and his near-equal in guile: when he decides to [[spoiler: have her killed off]], he laments her "[[GeekyTurnOn lovely intricate mind]]".

* Sarah Newlin on ''TrueBlood'' is certainly one. Plus she's a fundamentalist Christian.
* Although she's not as hot as some of the others on this page, almost everything else about Angela from ''{{The Office}}'' basically says this trope. A blonde, right-wing fundamentalist Christian who has affairs with two guys at the same time? Sounds like this. She even likes cats!
* Quinn's mother from ''Series/{{Glee}}.''

* Kirsten Cohen from ''TheOC'' is an attractive blonde HotMom, and at one point in the series it's mentioned that she's a political conservative.
* Brought up in the Republican episode of ''PartyDown'' where Roman is asking one of the males if it's true that Republican women are "maniacs under the sheets". The guy's girlfriend is blonde, coincidentally enough.
* [[Characters/TheThickOfIt Emma Messinger]] of ''TheThickOfIt'', except replace "Republican" with "Tory".
* Summer from ''MakeItOrBreakIt''.
* [[Characters/{{Firefly}} Inara Serra]], of ''Series/{{Firefly}}'' is a Brunette Republican Sex Kitten [[InSpace in space]]! Most of the Alliance supporters we had seen were big burly men, then in 'Out of Gas' [[HighClassCallGirl Inara]] tells us that she supported Unification...

* The ''FamilyGuy'' episode "You May Now Kiss The...Uh...Guy Who Receives" had Chris attracted to a BRSK who wants him to join the Young Republicans to help ban gay marriage (which was set up as a distraction away from the fact that Mayor West spent the town's tax money on a gold statue of Dig 'Em the Sugar Smacks Frog). Sadly, the plot of Chris choosing between supporting Brian's belief in gay marriage and being a Young Republican so he can score some boob was [[WhatHappenedToTheMouse never resolved]].
* ''WesternAnimation/AmericanDad'''s Francine Smith, by association with her extreme StrawmanPolitical Republican husband. (Occasionally, however, she does stand up to her husband and - if only temporarily - sways him to a feminist point of view.)
* ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' recurring character Lindsey Naegle ([[CorruptCorporateExecutive the network/business executive]] [[WhyDoYouKeepChangingJobs who keeps changing jobs]] because she's a sexual predator). Of course, she was also shown as part of the Springfield Democratic party on "E Pluribus Wiggum," so she may be a swing voter or [[SeriesContinuityError the Simpsons writers screwed up -- again]]. Or she may have lost her ''party'' the same way she did, her job.

* The Ann Coulter character on ''TheBoondocks'' plays this up for book sales, but is actually liberal personally. The way she sees it, it's either this or stripping. Also, [[WhereDaWhiteWomenAt Ann likes the dark meat]].
* Luanne from KingOfTheHill is shown to be this on multiple occasions. While she seems to be a devout Christian, shown praying multiple times and having a Christian puppet show, it is also implied that she is sexually promiscuous - in one episode she makes out with a man she has just met at a bar, and her and Lucky's first date is [[AutoErotica in his truck in the Hills' diriveway]].

* Melissa Good's [[strike:FanFic]] completely original story, ''TropicalStorm'', whose two lead female characters just happen to physically, emotionally and characteristically resemble another pair of female leads from [[XenaWarriorPrincess a series that shall not be mentioned]] due to copyright law[[hottip:*: Snarkiness aside, it's actually a fun read, and the author can be rather tongue-in-cheek at times.]], includes in its universe a woman by the name of Kerry, who is [[BlondeRepublicanSexKitten Blonde, Sexy, and a Republican]] (though of the [[GayConservative Log Cabin]] variety).
