Femme Fatale Fête Semifinals
Jessica Rabbit (Who Framed Roger Rabbit)
Bio: A Toon nightclub singer wrongly accused of shady dealings and turning on her husband.
Fans say: She's an ace icon who loves her husband because he's funny. She fulfils the femme fatale archetype in the hardboiled narrative of the story but she had a heart of gold. "I'm not bad, I'm just drawn that way."
Helga Sinclair (Atlantis: The Lost Empire)
Bio: Trained in combat, tactics, and espionage, Helga recruits the crew and serves as second-in-command all while hiding the real motives of the mission.
Fans say:
Classy, dangerous, morally grey
“I came down the chimney. Ho. Ho. [drops fur coat from shoulders] Ho.”
She’s so cool, oozes femme fatale-ness, and was my gay awakening

These are all images of recent work by artist Faith Ringgold, currently on view in her solo exhibition "American People" on view for a few more days at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago.
From the exhibition press release:
"Artist, author, educator, and organizer Faith Ringgold is one of the most influential cultural figures of her generation, with a career linking the multidisciplinary practices of the Harlem Renaissance to the political art of young Black artists working today. Faith Ringgold: American People presents the most comprehensive assessment to date of the artist’s impactful vision. For 60 years, Ringgold has drawn from personal autobiography and collective histories to both document her life as an artist and mother and to amplify collective struggles for social justice and equity. From creating some of the most indelible artworks of the civil rights era to challenging accepted hierarchies of art versus craft, Ringgold has produced a body of work that bears witness to the complexity of the American experience.
Featuring Ringgold’s best-known series—such as her experimental story quilts, renowned painting series American People and Black Light, soft sculptures, performance objects, and ephemera related to her activist work—the exhibition examines the artist’s figurative style as it evolved to meet the urgency of political and social change. The exhibition also foregrounds her radical explorations of gender and racial identities, which the artist incorporates into the rich textures of her paintings, soft sculptures, and story quilts. Among the most important artworks of the past half century, Ringgold’s fabric works combine local traditions and global references to compose a polyphonic history of this country. The MCA’s presentation of Faith Ringgold: American People also includes a section with works from the MCA’s collection that contextualizes Ringgold’s wide-ranging practice in art history with works by artists either influenced by or in conversation with Ringgold or themes in her work. Long overdue, this retrospective provides a timely opportunity to experience the art of an American icon."
