Bambola
Explanation:
"Velina" mi sembra un po' specifico, mentre "svampita" è peggiorativo. Opterei per "bambola", o per il più neutrale "ragazza".

  -> Beh, sì. In realtà credo che "bimbo" sia stato usato a sproposito nel testo originale. In realtà (secondo me) significa "oca". ;-)
neutral  Dario Natale: In francese bimbo è spesso riferito a un modo di vestirsi di presentarsi, non capisco perché partire dal significato inglese, mi sembra come voler tradurre box dall'italiano che in inglese non significa assolutamente garage.

neutral  Chiara Deaglio: In effetti, mi sembra sia un classico caso di cattivo uso dell'inglese da parte dei francesi. "Bimbo" è un termine spregiativo ("oca", svampita"), ma ad ogni evidenza l'autore del testo non lo sapeva, e credeva significasse "bambola". Bah!

neutral  Chiara Deaglio: In effetti può darsi che nel testo originale "bimbo" sia stato usato a sproposito. Da quanto mi risulta, "bimbo" è usato generalmente in senso spregiativo, e se usato propriamente lo tradurrei "oca". Qui ovviamente non si voleva dire "oca"... :-)
