I have found when firing blonde bombshells from a cannon they do not hold together well and don't cause much damage to the enemy.

I was just on one of the ad boards and saw this again. It got me to thinking, why would a woman want to compare herself to something that explodes? And when did the term originate? It's such an old expression you'd think they could come up with something newer.
Anyway, here's where it comes from
I always thought the term originated from the Jean Harlow film from the 1930's.
It references the movie but I believe it points out that the term was in use before that. However, it's clear that the 1942 Jean Harlow movie "Blonde Bombshell" cemented the use of the term.
PS: You new pix on the Photos Only Board are astounding
never knew that see this lady is reposnsible for that term, and she oozes sex, i looked it up...
The first use of the term was during the battle for Fort Beausejour in 1755 during the French and Indian war. The French were under siege by British troops under the command of General Edward Braddock. As the battle raged, the French ran out of ammunition, including cannonballs, and so began using women from the fort as cannon fodder. They preferred to use blonds, as the behavior, speech, and mental facilities of the "blond bombshells" after impact weren't significantly different from before firing.

It's another meaningless marketing term.
…then click on images and see what comes up. (Looks like the name sticks.)
Attached is a combo
and was used in the Harlow film because it was already in common use. A lot of expression and metaphors are from that era are war related, like "the whole nine yards" originally meaning firing an entire machine gun belt. In any event I don't think I could call a girl a bombshell to her face without cracking up!
I like to research the origins of every day terms, and this particular term has many.
Just two others from memory:
It is the amount of fabric needed to make a suit with two pairs of pants, so if you wanted same you would tell the tailor to use "the whole nine yards."
It is the amount of concrete in a concrete mixing truck so if you call for some concrete and want the entire load you'd ask for "the whole nine yards." (This one is doubtful since most concrete trucks carry considerably more than 9 yards.)
I think the book I found it in is linked below.
Interesting, I've always heard the machine gun one and that it came from WWII but apparently it was in print as early as 1907 so that blows that up. Seems it's like "Bob's your uncle," nobody is really sure of the origin.

80K is the max for many trucks plus they carry a on board water to wash up with. Eom
I used to use that word in my ads. But then everyone started copying me (or maybe I was copying them without knowing lol). So I stopped lol.
In our terms a bombshell is like wicked sexy, its not a school girl look, or girl next door look, and you wouldnt use word classy in same ad as word bombshell.
A classy look maybe more subdues light make up, maybe even a business suit . The bombshell look is more like super sex pot , lotsa lip liner, pouty blow job lips, lots of cleavage, lots of sex apeal....Possibly a big diva hair style, ...
I think for me thats when i have used that in ads if i am doing this like uber sex pot look. Like i wouldnt have posted "bombshell" with my photo last week, which was like , I advertised it as classy italian with glasses sans make up look.
It was like a different look.
I picture big diva hair, over the top head to toe, smoky porn star dramatic eyes. Maybe some extra lip liner for that let me blow you and kiss you sex pot look. I mean i am a female and wicked into fashion, make up, altering your look, I love aLL THAT...
I guess to call yourself a bomb shell you better be ready to back it up and have a figure like roger rabbits girlfriend. Picture that kind of a look, Just screams sex.......Not every one can use that word in thier ad . You really gotta have a porn star and dancer body. If a lady thats like doin a girl next door casual look writes bombshell in ad it would be stupid, I think the guys know what a bomshell look is.
Think pam anderson. Jenna jameson, its just an uber sex pot look, when your purposely maybe even a tad slutty of a look, amped up cleavage, ect....like ready to explode but in the bedroom kinda .............................
At the moment, mine is a Las Vegas hottie who's the definition of a bombshell and I plan to re-aquaint myself with her soon

Here is an equally sexy. But see there is no smoky eye, no pouty lip. A porn star photographer once told me alot times they have a pouty lip and even a almost bitchy look on the face but it is sexy.
Like see the gal in bombshell pic has like almost a bitchy look on face, which is common in a sexy photo shoot.
A random hobbyist once made a comment on my not smiling in photos and he was like tryin to figure out why i never smile, he completely missed the point, sexy photos you dont smile in a come fuck me sultry bombshell photo, you want a pouty look. The guy had no clue what he was talkin about . I also got annoyed he like singled me out to make negative comments on my ad photos, when every escort does pouty looks in ads, i was like dude dont psycho analyze me fuckin loser with no life?
any ways if you google bombshell every girl has that pouty bitchy look, its not to be cnfused with not smiling, Its SUPPOSED to and does look sexy but some rookie big mouth busy body wanted to try n psycho analyze my facial expressions in photos.
see this photo for a girl next door look an innocent smile will be perfect.
for a bombshell style look and theme and mood no you dont want a big grin on ...here is a more girl next dor in both the facial expression and clothing and make up.
its two different looks for two different moods a ciustomer may be in for an appt....
I'm betting he knows what a GND type looks like and what a bombshell type looks like.
I took his post as kinda poking fun at the term "bombshell".

I like pictures. I like to watch...
Was able to watch a Playboy photographer at work w/ a bunch of amateur girls once. He very specifically told them not to smile to but to open their mouths just a bit to show a little teeth, explaining it came of sexier that way. Thought that was kinda interesting (and true).

....because it's another term that dates back? I've always liked bombshell and have considered using "great gams" to attract some of the old timers. It's all about marketing.
As in "Great gams on dat tomato!"
Old timers will be into it, and the young whippersnappers will think you meant 'great game' with a typo -- sounds like a win/win

The "old timers" you will attract with the "great gams" line ...

and, in my opinion, has nothing to do with anything. Personally, I would like to something more creative or unique.
when I read "bombshell", I'm immediately interested. There are few women who have gained my intention. There's one former suicide girl in NYC that has me squirming with anticipation should I ever make my way to the city. In fact, she's told me that she'll make me a dress that I'm interested in seeing her in. She has my attention, and I will make it to NYC, some how and some way, and I'll use her like the toy she is.
