If you don't know who Polychrome is, you may not have read far
enough into the series where the "Babe factor" becomes important.
Polychrome is the "Rainbow's daughter" and spends much of her time
dancing around in clothing "of the scanty and clinging description".
Jellia Jamb is the mischievous, Moliere-esque maid in the Emerald City
palace.  You're thinking of Jinjur who was leader of the Army of Revolt
(later in the series it's reported that she regularly beats up her husband,
so she's too kinky for my liking).  There are also more "babes" in the
later books, including the Adepts at Sorcery (three fantasies for the
price of one), Planetty the extraterrestrial princess, and an
"all-grown-up"-looking Ozma.
