The only female I found "overtly sexy" was the islander babe. I'm not real
familiar with the whole line up but that's the only one I can recall
saying, "Boy... I don't know..." I don't really have a problem with red
lipstick to represent females, but have used smileys with female hair as girls
in a pinch. I know this may come across as chauvenistic but I've never been
attracted to girls who look/act/belch louder than men...
