va-vavoominess

noun. Hubba-hubba-itude.

Real citation: "The other woman? Still the perfume girl at the Saks Fifth Avenue cosmetics counter, the role that helped catapult Crawford to fame, played here with cartoony va-vavoominess by Eva Mendes."
(Christy Lemire, Sept. 12, 2008, Philadelphia Inquirer, link dead)

Made-up citation: "I admire many qualities in your daughter: her integrity, woodworking, and va-vavoominess are all top-shelf. May I take her to the ball, sir? I'd also like to compliment you on your family's fine collection of decorative skulls."
