I think this trope deals with In-universe attraction so a just a picture of a blonde character isn't gonna cut it.

Agreed; this is a bad case of JAFAAC and needs to go.

The current image is just a random blonde person. Not just JAFAAC, it is particularly bad given that these tropes are often misused for just "appearance trait X". Pull it.

She's dressed in skimpy cloths, in a pink shirt (Pink Means Feminine), with curled hair and a smile. It looks like she's trying to be sexy. More importantly I don't think any of the Attraction Tropes show In-universe attraction.

I don't even think she's particularly attractive, so all the pic is telling me is that she's trying, but not necessarily succeeding.

Attraction Tropes are definitely about In-universe attraction it say so right in the first sentence.

3.2 is already in use on Hello Nurse...another pic of Wakko and Yakko fawning over her besides 3.1 might work. This, maybe?

The nurse looks really tired. Maybe the characters like the outfit and not the hair. They aren't looking anywhere near her head.

Attraction Tropes are about In-universe attraction but next to none of them show the in-universe part. Hospital Hottie for example recently finished an image picking discussion and they chose a man with nice hair standing there in a lab coat with no indication that others find him attractive. This could be one of the first to show the in-universe part though. What about Marilyn?

Classic. I like it. All eyes in that photo are on Ms. Monroe.

I like the Marilyn pic provided we can get a better version.

Marilyn is pretty much excellent if we get better quality. [1]

Errr, isn't that a work page? We could easily find another pic for that, and save the picture for this one.

Could we locate a theatrical poster for Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, and use Lu's suggestion?

Update: Found one

Any of these might work there.

I'd go with the last picture on Gentlemen Prefer Blondes and it's current on here.

Here's the suggestions from 20 at wiki size. Any are good, but I lean toward 19.

The second one in 20 or the top one in 23 (it's the one where their hats are tipped) look more like a photograph while the other two look more like drawings with the coloring being off. Ofcourse any of them are fine. It looks unanimous to use a theatrical poster for Gentlemen Prefer Blondes and the screen cap for this so we don't need a crowner, right?
