This may be necromancing, but I digress...

Their official name may have been "the Bimbettes," but they don't really fit the definition of a bimbo. Bimboes generally are not only very stupid (probably to Homer Simpson levels), but they also use their bodies to get what they want (you know, sex, sex appeal, showing their bodies in a graphic way, all of that). There's absolutely nothing indicating that they ever used their bods to get what they want at all, nor are they even implied to have had sex with the other male villagers (certainly they haven't had a romance, sexual or otherwise, with Gaston, considering he ignored them completely, with the closest thing to interaction between him and them being when he used their bench as a barbell). They crushed on Gaston, but at least in the original film and comics, they haven't actually had said feelings reciprocated.
