So you've always wanted to be dark, seductive and dangerous, but you come across as Janine Melnitz rather than Ava Gardner? Well despair no more, because here's a handly little guide: How to be a Femme Fatal. It covers voice and inflection, clothing, hair annd where to hang out to get that noirish "woman of mystery" quality.

Practically, this is a nice little guide for cosplaying, LARPing, or playing a Femme Fatal in a tabletop game. Just taking some of the suggestions can be useful for building a memorable character.

And don't forget your character model!
