Perhaps the term "overtly sexy" has too much cultural (or personal) bias.
In this case I'm refering to the plunging necklines or overdeveloped chests
some of the "babe / wench" figures display. Specifically the Pirate Wench,
Forest Babe, and the new Queen (what's up with those keys anyhow? chastity
belt?!?). However, I don't have any problems with the impressions of the
female form on the new Princess and Adventurers bad girl. Women *DO* have a
different shape than men after all and it's not inappropriate to depict that
in a tasteful manner. Also, I have no problem with lipsticked minifigs. I
just don't like the evil / leering / scarred / ugly faces that are popping
up all over these days.
