Well, Julia Newmar was fairly spectacular no matter what she dressed like. She could wear a burlap sack and I'd be down with that.
As for Starfire, the character was a sexpot from the beginning. She wasn't a hyper cosplay sex addict but she had a huge rack and liked getting naked. She was also a well developed character that had a sense of honor and was a true warrior. So she might have been scanitly clad but she had a personality too. The Teen Titans animated series wasn't terrible but after seeing the first episode I felt like someone took my favorite mom and pop pizza place and turned it into a Chuck E Cheese. Having said that I agree with the sentiment from that cartoon even if I think it is misrepresenting Starfire just a tad.
