Go To

Since it's hard finding an image of a real life person that hits an acceptable level of both beautiful and unkempt that illustrates the idea nicely, I thought an image of Moonbeam McSwine from Lil Abner would work better. For example: [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6]

Opened...can't look at the suggestions right now but I have no objections to the current.

Well, those certainly get the trope across. Not sure which I prefer.

Out of the suggestions, I like 1, 2, 4, and 5. Can't narrow down any further.

I'm not sure how any of these illustrate the trope better than the current image.

[up]She's more obviously disheveled, and her Ms. Fanservice-y outfit and pose shows more clearly that she's meant to be attractive. The current is just some random celebrity with no makeup.

Anyways, I guess I'll go with 1.4

1.4 is as good as any, I guess.

1.4 for consensus' sake.

I'm fine with 1.4. Anyone else?

Looks like we've got consensus. I've uploaded the image and tagged the page.

[up] I've potholed it. Caption? "Sloppy but sensual.", perhaps?
