A femme fatale character in movies or books. The character is a woman who, while not necessarily attractive, has a certain allure (usually this striking, exotic, overtly sexy glamour), and is usually a heartless, man-eating seductress.
The term is short for vampire, another term for a femme fatale.

A French diminuitive of "Madame"; "Mademoiselle" means "My little lady". It once was used to signify an unmarried woman, but concidering that it is a diminutive of "Madame", now it is just used for girls and young women, and the professional title for women is "Madame".
Still, Mademoiselle is used for young women by their admirers.

An old-fashioned English way of saying "blonde". As flax possesses golden fibers, this term was inevitably used for a person with fair hair.
Her flaxen tresses falling from her kerchief, the farm girl ventured through the snow to the barn to milk the cows.

Combination of the words lesbian, bisexual, and gay, therefore referring to womyn who love womyn, people who love people of both genders, and (usually) men who love men.

A prototype for Susan Smith and Casey Anthony.
A bed hopper and unfit mother who shot her three small children (Christie, 8, Cheryl, 7, and Danny, 3) on May 19, 1983, killing Cheryl and paralyzing Christie and Danny in an effort to continue an affair with a married former colleague who did not want children in his life. She tried to pin the crime on a "bushy-haired stranger" who attacked them on a country road.
Downs could not keep her story straight, however, and her calm (even giddy) behavior in all of the media circus raised suspicion.
Although often described as "beautiful" and "dangerously seductive", Diane Downs looks more like John Lithgow on a bad day and even sported a mullet early in the case. Despite this, she cunningly bedded a man during the investigation to become pregnant as a means of gaining sympathy.

Downs also used the molestation defense at her trial, claiming that her father had fondled her; he denied it and by 1989 she had recanted her accusation.
Despite suffering a stroke and losing much use in her arm, Christie Downs, at nine years of age, tearfully confirmed at her mother's trial that her mother was the one had shot her and Cheryl and Danny.
Diagnosed by psychologists as a narcissistic, histrionic antisocial personality and thus diagnosed as a sociopath, Diane Downs was sentenced to life in prison and to this day maintains her innocence, despite overwhelming evidence and her constantly changing story.
In 1989, "Small Sacrifices", a tv movie based on the case was released, starring Farrah Fawcett as Diane Downs, although the Downs is hardly attractive with her creepy Joker smile and masculine face.

Another living version of the "dumb blonde" stereotype. Except this little harlot seems to think that she can sing and act and that she's a beauty...
au contraire, mon cherie: she sounds like she's inhaled helium (not a good thing), she acts about as well as a one legged dog trying to cross a busy street, and she wears enough makeup to supply Detroit... with or without makeup, she's almost always frightening to look at. And let's not get started on her overly-perky personality.
And immature? Yes. She started feuds with Lindsay Lohan and Avril Lavigne, and for what? Something minor.
And her mother has about as much maturity as her, and even partakes in the feuds! Even accusing Lindsay of vandalising Hilary's car when Lindsay was out of the country?! Puh-lease, Hilary and her mother need a good smack in the face.

A tragic waste. She who thinks that she can sing act and dance while being unaware that she sucks big-time (at the three previous things, and on other certain things). She who dresses like a streetwalker, is a complete idiot, is a total hypocrite, has unnatural, silicone-filled breasts, bleached hair, has a fake body/personality/voice and sends out a bad message to children.
This repulsive beast apparently never took a singing lesson in her life and enjoys(enjoyed) drinking underage; doing drugs, smoking, and getting body piercings, breast implants, and tattoos when she said previously that she hated them; squawking like a cat on catnip to some inane, bland, badly-written song; sleeping around with any man that looks attractive to her (and putting down any man who she deems unattractive); and doing anything (from abuse of her fans, among others, to cancelling concerts or stripping at them, to becoming a homewrecker) for attention.
This creature also responds to whore, slut, bitch, tramp, harlot, cunt, the list goes on.
