bimbo

Polish translation:nie ma dobrego odpowiednika
Explanation:
1. (Slang) A woman regarded as vacuous or as having an exaggerated interest in her sexual appeal. [American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language, 2000]
2 (SLANG)a young woman considered attractive but stupid. This word is offensive. [Cambridge Dictionary of American English]

Polskie odpowiedniki albo nie obejmują kwestii seksu (gęś, ptasi móżdżek), albo nie zajmują się głupotą (latawica, puszczalska, cichodajka), albo są zbyt nieparlamentarne, aby je przytaczać.
Myślę że w tym przypadku powinnaś się skupić na aspekcie seksualnym i wtedy 'puszczalska' będzie chyba najodpowiedniejsza.
