* Katie Killjoy from ''WebAnimation/HazbinHotel'' has the looks, and she derisively tells Charlie that she doesn't touch "gays".

She'll sometimes be portrayed unsympathetically, as either a StepfordSmiler or a grown-up 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]].

Since shows heavy in [[StrawmanPolitical Political Strawmen]] can overdo 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.

Often used as a political stereotype even if she's not a strawman. There's a chance of this backfiring due to a MisaimedFandom or a case of StrawManHasAPoint, especially with PoesLaw in full effect. See also FoxNewsLiberal and StrawmanNewsMedia.

* The ''Jem'' NextGenFic ''Fanfic/StarlightIsForAlways'' presents Pizzazz as the "grown-up AlphaBitch" variety. [[FormerTeenRebel Gone]] is the loud rebellious rock star from the '80s. She's since become a born-again Christian and settled down with her former manager, Eric, but she's kept her temper. They run a conservative religious organization together. Pizzazz's certainly blonde and very conservative, but it's noted she looks off due to several plastic surgeries.

A character type that shows that not all Republicans/conservatives are stuffy old men and that not all women are Democrats/liberals. Like it says on [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin the label]], this character is female, attractive, and [[HairColors almost always blonde]]. She's also usually more "traditional" in her gender expression than her politically opposite peers, though this characterization is by no means universal.

* The ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'' episode "[[Recap/FamilyGuyS4E25YouMayNowKissTheUhGuyWhoRecieves 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 [[BreadAndCircuses to distract]] 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]].

* ''Film/{{Bombshell|2019}}'', being about [[Creator/FoxNewsChannel Fox News]], discusses this trope ("Early on [Roger Ailes] realized for a network to stay on 24 hours a day you need something to hold an audience. That something is [[ShesGotLegs legs]]. There's a reason for clear desks."), features Creator/NicoleKidman and Creator/CharlizeTheron playing two real life anchors of that channel, and even one case that works behind the scenes of the network, Creator/MargotRobbie's Kayla Popsil.

* In Creator/MiraGrant's ''[[Literature/{{Newsflesh}} 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.

* The ''Creator/GordonKorman'' book ''Born to Rock'', which features a Young Republicans Club, does have one of the female members be blonde and a lust object for several of the male members, although she avoids most of the negative stereotypes associated with the trop.

* Dr. Elliot Reid from ''Series/{{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 character), but she is also extremely neurotic about all the premarital 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).

* Quinn from ''Series/{{Glee}}'' was originally depicted as one, on top of being TheCheerleader, the AlphaBitch and TheTease. Then all three end up subverted through a [[DefrostingIceQueen redemption arc.]]

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

* ''Series/{{MASH}}'''s Margaret Houlihan is extremely conservative and uptight when it comes to sex... on the outside. In reality, she's quite promiscuous, and imagines she's fooling people with the outraged reactions to insinuations that she's sleeping with a married man. All of these traits were eventually toned down as part of her CharacterDevelopment over the show's long run.

* Lauren in ''Series/FakingIt''. Her step-mother, Farrah is an older version which is probably large part of why she gets along with Lauren better bthan she does her own daughter.

* ''Series/TheHandmaidsTale'': Serena Joy Waterford. She is ultra conservative, her book [[FemaleMisogynist "A Woman's Place"]] helped inspire a violent conservative revolution which ended women's rights and forced any woman still fertile into [[BabyFactory reproductive slavery]]. She is also beautiful (she is played by Creator/YvonneStrahovski) and implied to have had a media career before the series began. However, she also counts as a [[DeconstructedCharacterArchetype deconstruction of this character type]] - the new society she helped create has [[HoistByHisOwnPetard also stripped her of her rights]] and she's going crazy for lack of anything to do, as she's not allowed to read or write anymore, there's nothing to occupy her time besides desperately hoping and preparing for a baby that may never come, and on top of that, her once happy marriage with her husband (an egalitarian relationship based on a sincere, mutual practice of their faith) has devolved into a SexlessMarriage, all thanks to [[BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor their participation in Gilead's rise]].
* Julie Musante is a high-ranking official in the Earth Alliance [[ShoutOut Ministry of Peace]], assigned as the political officer of ''Series/Babylon5'' in the Season 3 episode "Voices of Authority". A blond bombshell who isn't above using sex to influence the military governor of the station to toe the line, only the lack of explicitly named political parties keeps her from putting a check mark in every box in the most horrifying ways.

* "Image Consultant" Wrestling/JillianHall, became one while working for Wrestling/{{J|ohnBradshawLayfield}}BL's Cabinet, a stable lead by a Texas blowhard turned New York stock broker who blamed the poor for the bank bailout.[[/folder]]

* The Ann Coulter character on ''WesternAnimation/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]].

** The recurring character Lindsey Naegle ([[CorruptCorporateExecutive the network/business executive]] who [[NewJobAsThePlotDemands keeps changing jobs]] because she's a sexual predator). She epitomizes everything that is wrong with the androgynous, padded-jacket mid-nineties business woman. 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 the ''Simpsons'' writers screwed up--[[SeriesContinuityError again]]. Or she may have lost her party the same way she did her job.

** Yet another Coulter {{Expy}} called Veronica Tandy. ''L&O'' likes to go to that well.

-->I used to be the only pretty blonde woman reading the fake news. [[TakeThat Now there's]] [[Creator/FoxNewsChannel an entire network]] [[TakeThat to that]].

* The ''WesternAnimation/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 [[BreadAndCircuses to distract]] 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]].

** One episode has Veronica Tandy, described by Detective Green as "the most hated bitch in America," as the intended victim of a shooting. Even other Republicans don't like her much, since she seems to be more successful at getting people mad than at actually conveying her ideals. This might be less of an example of the trope and more of an active TakeThat at Ann Coulter.

** Yet another Coulter {{Expy}} called Judith Barlow. ''L&O'' likes to go to that well.
* [[AnIcePerson Tracy Strauss]] on ''Series/{{Heroes}}''. However, thanks to [[CharacterizationMarchesOn Characterization Marching On]], she's more or less grown out of this. In fact, a later episode showed her trying to get that career back, but after heavy consideration, decided against it.

Often a used as a political stereotype even if she's not a strawman. There's a chance of this backfiring due to a MisaimedFandom or a case of StrawManHasAPoint, especially with PoesLaw in full effect. See also FoxNewsLiberal.

-->-- '''Don Henley''', "Dirty Laundry"

* 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).

* Quinn from ''Series/{{Glee}}'' was originally depicted as one, on top of being TheCheerleader, the AlphaBitch and TheTease. Then all three end up subverted through a redemption arc.

* The ''Jem'' NextGenFic ''Fanfic/StarlightIsForAlways'' presents Pizzazz as the "grown up AlphaBitch" variety [[FormerTeenRebel Gone]] is the loud rebellious rock star from the '80s. She's since become a born-again Christian and settled down with her former manager, Eric, but she's kept her temper. They run a conservative religious organization together. Pizzazz's certainly blonde and very conservative, but it's noted she looks off due to several plastic surgeries.

* During her time on ''Series/TheDailyShow'', Samantha Bee often played a caricature of the BlondeRepublicanSexKitten.[[note]]"Often" as in "most of the times she appears," i.e. excluding her many maternity leaves.[[/note]]

** The recurring character Lindsey Naegle ([[CorruptCorporateExecutive the network/business executive who keeps changing jobs]] because she's a sexual predator). She epitomizes everything that is wrong with the androgynous, padded-jacket mid-nineties business woman. 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 the ''Simpsons'' writers screwed up--[[SeriesContinuityError again]]. Or she may have lost her party the same way she did her job.

* 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 ''Magazine/{{Playboy}}''.

* Ainsley Hayes (Emily Procter) from ''Series/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 this trope in addition to being a CousinOliver, [[AlwaysSomeoneBetter Minnesota Fats]], SouthernFriedGenius, and TokenMinority all at once.

** There's also Jenna's role in the ''TGS'' Fox News parody sketches: "Welcome back to Fox News. I'm Blonde."

* One ''Series/SaturdayNightLive'' sketch parodied Fox News, where one of the guests was an attractive blonde lady called [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin "Attractive Blonde Lady"]] (played by Creator/AbbyElliott) who served no purpose other than sitting there, looking pretty, and saying "God, it's like [X Presidential Administration] all over again!"

* ''Series/TwentyFour'' 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.

* ''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.)
** After the show gave her more focus, this trope became increasingly subverted until she flat-out admitted that she doesn't vote because politics confuse her. She only goes to the polling booths to keep up public appearances.

* Luanne from ''WesternAnimation/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' driveway]].
** On the other hand, Luanne did once campaign for a Communist candidate.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' recurring character Lindsey Naegle ([[CorruptCorporateExecutive the network/business executive who keeps changing jobs]] because she's a sexual predator). She epitomizes everything that is wrong with the androgynous, padded-jacket mid-nineties business woman. 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 the ''Simpsons'' writers screwed up--[[SeriesContinuityError again]]. Or she may have lost her party the same way she did her job.

* Although she's not as hot as some of the others on this page, almost everything else about Angela from ''Series/TheOffice'' 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!
