Getting into character!

I found this and thought it was quite cool...I haven't put all the tips in as we're focused on film noir style femme fatale rather than a more modern one (also some were about scent, voice etc which we don't need to worry about). However, some of them are useful in a 'getting the gist' kind of way...

HOW TO BE A FEMME FATALE
Femme fatale literally means "fatal woman" in French. According to the movie Mildred Pierce, it can be defined as "the kind of woman men want...but shouldn't have!". Ever seen females who are seductive and alluring, yet clever, a bit evil, and mysterious? Like Poison Ivy or Cat woman? Allure, mystery, and classy, dark glamour embody the femme fatale. You can become one too!

1. Wear dark, sexy, retro clothes. Not too gothic-looking, though. Think Angelina Jolie in the mid-90's. Subtle, well-cut clothing that draws attention to you, but in a tasteful way. Stick to colors like black, maroon, and emerald green. Look for silk cocktail dresses, dark-wash, high-waisted jeans, expensive-looking, dramatic jewelry, and fishnet tights.
2. Hang out in mysterious places. Not sketchy or scary. Just unusual. Remember that when in interesting places, one meets interesting people. Try out an obscure, artsy coffee shop, clandestine night club, or unique antique shop.
3. Be mysterious. Dont let everybody know what you are feeling or what's going on. The very mystery proves to be the allure of the femme fatale.
4. Wear your hair in an extreme side part with Veronica Lake-esque waves. Wearing it in a dramatically short style is also a good choice. Stick to true, bold hair colors, like bright auburn, dark brown, or platinum blonde.
5. Wear pale foundation, 'cat's eye' eyeliner, and red or maroon lipstick. Avoid glitter and 'teenager' makeup at all costs.
6. Watch old movies. Mildred Pierce is a great starter. As far as music goes, Fiona Apple in "Criminal" is a good example. Let them inspire you. But don't let them take over--a femme fatale is individual.
7. Being well-educated is something that will set you apart from the flock. Being beautiful with brains adds sex appeal.

WARNINGS

• Don't be mean! Femme fatales generally end up killing the man they love or destroying his life. Be femme without being literally fatale. But breaking his heart is okay (assuming he deserves it).
• Do not be an "available" girl. A femme is always classy
