Bambi Benson, waitress at the sports bar The Booby Trap is not the dumb blonde bimbo that she sounds or looks like. Yes, her name, job and figure fits the bill, but Bambi is actually a Womens’ Studies PhD student at Harvard writing her dissertation on the sexual objectification of women who work in professions with highly sexualised environments. The Booby Trap belongs to Joe Mula, one of her mum’s ex-boyfriends and the only one that Bambi actually felt close to. The job is a killer on her feet but provides Bambi with a steady income that she needs to fund her trip to London for the Annual Women’s Studies Conference where some of her most respected role models will be in attendance.
