I can't imagine you're helping that stereotype.

[Danishgirl]

I can't imagine you're helping that stereotype.

That just made me laugh.

[Sexi_chel]

I'm not that bad every gal likes to go out and have a good time not just essex gals...

[Jono]

I'm not that bad every gal likes to go out and have a good time not just essex gals...

So that's why you were in the newspaper and no one else?

[Sexi_chel]

Yeah i know but it was not because i was from essex and i was at a concert in london and the bloke just knew i was from essex... this was before the tv show i'm like how can they guess

[Emma]

Because the stereotypes portrayed in the media conform to what you all must look like.

[Sexi_chel]

Not every gal from essex is a blond bimbo though i am blond now but have not been blond all my life and the media is so not the right person to trust

if you want me to be honest you come across as a slag

[Sexi_chel]

I am no slag. Yeah i like sex i may have been a slag but i have had one bloke this year that's a big improvement on 50 in two years. I am not a slag and if you have to use them words to put people down you must be lower than a slag claire.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/A6581720 also has some interesting stuff about Essex girls and what it originally meant.

In the 1980s a new phenomenon emerged from Essex: the Essex Girl. It was a term used to describe working class teenagers and young women from Essex said to be sexually promiscuous, loud, vulgar, scantily-dressed and of low intelligence. The term and the reputation it brought with it has waned over the years, but let's look back at what it was.

It is not clear how the term Essex Girl came to be. However it is likely that a comedian visiting an Essex venue told some derogatory jokes about local girls and discovered that Essex girls had a sense of humour, and could laugh at themselves, and it snowballed from there. Not all Essex girls embraced the title - many were offended by it, which is quite reasonable as statistically Essex girls were no more sexually promiscuous, nor were they of lower intelligence than their counterparts any other part of the UK.
