❤️‍🔥🗡️🍸🌹I TRIED POPULAR FEMME FATALE TIPS FOR A YEAR🌹🍸🗡️❤️‍🔥

Hello everyone! I always have been fascinated by the femme fatale energy and I was so obsessed as a kid with femme fatales like Ava Gardner, Marilyn Monroe, Gilda by Rita Hayworth and some characters by Angelina Jolie or Penelope Cruz.

I never tried to tap into the femme fatale energy because I always thought that I didn't fit the "aesthetic", then I read Ava Gardner's biography how she made womanizer Sinatra go suicidal for her and I noticed that femme fatale energy isn't about looks or aesthetic (partially) but your attitude, energy and self love. So I started to get all the information I could about femme fatales and these are the most popular tips I've tried:

💋 Let them pursue. Let them show you how much are they interested in you and how far would they go for your attention.

I think this one it's not exclusive about FemF it's something that every girl should do. It's really simple: if they really want you they'll move mountains for you, and girl, don't even think it's because you set your standards too high because it's the bare minimum. Stop being in situationships where it's very clear that he doesn't want you, I'm sorry but it's really pathetic.

My experience: I've been applying this boundary for a long time now and it's the most effective way to see who actually wants you. Why? Because it's too simple, if they want to they will. This saved me a lot of situationships and giving access and power to someone who doesn't want me. The results are a little annoying because let's be real, boys🤡, they always come back so when I say it's annoying it's because it's ridiculous to see them get confused and then pursue you when it's too late. AND LET ME TELL YOU, when I put a cross on your name there's no way to erase it (metaphorically). Ugh, really why do they do that? They make clear that they don't want you and when you cut them off they decide to come back in the way you seem to want. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE, don't go back to them, if they really wanted you that badly they would never have put you in that position.

💋 Don't be impressed by the things they think can get you. I'm talking about superficial things like physical appearance, fame, money, properties, cars, luxury lifestyle, etc. Please I know everyone loves money but believe me when I say it doesn't get you anywhere mentally if you don't have your shit together, don't let desire for rich appearances guide you to shitty men just because they can provide money. You should be able to afford your things so you don't have to be waiting for a man like a poor dog.

My experience: Girl I'm going to spill some tea about this one. I had two famous men asking me on a date, one of them I no longer speak to him and the other one is currently pursuing me like crazy just because he saw I was not amused about the luxury things he was bragging. We're friends for now because I don't trust him lol but he tries every now and then to ask me on a date. Girl trust me it's not that rare to get that type of men, almost every friend of mine has been pursued by a man in power.

💋 Trust in the feminine power. Trust in the power that a smile or a gaze has, learn from the best: Angelina Jolie, Marilyn Monroe, Ava Gardner... A subtle way to let a man know that you like him and you can have him going all over you. How many times a man has approached you just because you looked at him? That's the power you have, women have that power.

My experience: Not so long ago I had a thing with a man and somehow we lost contact but we have a friend in common so we see each other often. The other day I tried this technique to see if a gaze was enough to let him know that I'm interested and it's true, I looked at him directly into his eyes and that was enough to have him the rest of the night right by my side.

💋Red nails theory. The color red is said to represent passion, love and sensuality. The red nail theory got viral on TikTok because a girl said that the reason she attracted more men with red nails was because they saw a lot of red nails while growing up.

My experience: I got my nails done red and I don't think much changed. I think red is a color that generally attracts men but I don't think it's something exclusive for nails. A red lipstick or dress will always be on point.

💋 Be cold af. Not every time but when he does something to annoy you don't react. Could be he's trying to make you jealous, to see how you react or how much you care about him. DON'T REACT, even if it's killing you inside. Act like you couldn't care less and move on. He still flirts to other girls? Then that means you're not in a committed relationship and you can flirt with whoever you want to too.

My experience: This one is sooooo fun to apply and I like to add a little spice and mirror their behaviour. Because when they do something I don't like I usually cut them off and that's it, but when I know they did it to hurt me I like to have my revenge. You've met your match bitch.

I was getting to know this guy who made very clear that he enjoyed single life so I did too and when he saw me on another date he went nuts and stopped seeing other girls. But one day he got angry because I said that I found attractive one of his friends and that night he started a little flirt in front of me with a girl so I just said I'm going to say hello to someone and I went to do the same with his friend. He immediately came so angry, asked for a word alone and told me to stop messing around. He asked me to be in a committed relationship the next day and that was the last time I saw him. I know it seems so toxic but I didn't want a relationship with him and he tried to hurt me so idc.🤷‍♀️

Sorry if you see some spelling mistakes, english is not my first language!

Celestial Screenshots Destined for Fame, Part 4:

Charlize Theron

⚠️TW: death, violence, childhood trauma⚠️

All of the information used in this article was taken from her Wiki page/biography. I am a student of astrology and thus all that I have learned in that course deserves the instructor’s credit, along with all the astrologers before him from Vettius Valens to the translators of ancient texts. I thank you for passing on this knowledge and am grateful to receive it. To protect his privacy and name (because what if I’m completely butchering these concepts, lmao) I will keep it to myself. I believe in the importance of giving credit where it is due and thus that is my intention here. I also believe in the right to privacy and thus that is my secondary intention.

{Please note this is not a confirmed birth time. Rodden rating: C.}

👹 I was watching The Devil’s Advocate and was curious of Charlize’s age during filming (maybe 20-21 btw since the film was released in 1997). NATURALLY I had to pull up her birth chart because that is what I do…

🏆 Tenth house and MC ruled by Mercury which falls in her twelfth house and is conjunct her LEO Sun and Moon. This, my friends, is a Leo stellium.

🍇 Something about the twelfth house and fame; here is yet another example. I originally learned about this concept from Tan Astrology and her YouTube video on fame.

🎾 Leo Stellium in the 12th house coupled with Venus conjunct the Ascendant —> need I say more in regards to fame?

🌷 Venus is at its fall in Virgo, as is Aries. However, most of the time women with these are literally DROP DEAD GORGEOUS. Like shockingly so. Given its conjunct her Ascendant is obviously helping matters, as the woman is clearly beautiful. (Inside and out, with her humanitarian efforts.)

🌹Angelina Jolie and Hayden Panettiere also have Venus conjunct their Ascendant. The beauty is not just on the outside. These people have beautiful souls as well, if you look at how they give back and use that fame for the greater good.

⚠️⚠️ TW: death, childhood trauma, violence

This is solely for entertainment purposes and I am drawn to darker themes. This information is public knowledge via Wikipedia. I do not intend any disrespect and I hold deep empathy and compassion for what happened. I cannot imagine the utter terror and suffering she and her mother must have gone through on that day. If requested, I will take this down. I am an astrology enthusiast and student at present so finding examples where I get to see the learned concepts in action is rewarding and ultimately a learning experience for me. This blog is basically my “practice space” for using what I learned “in real life”. I do not have close friends or family and so am limited on charts to study. Ultimately I decided to just post it anyway since I am a nobody and thus nobody will likely even read it, lol, less likely Charlize herself but I still wanted to add this intro for the principle of the matter.

⭐️ As I was reading through Charlize’s biography on Wikipedia, I was alarmed to read about her childhood. Her father was an alcoholic and shot at her mother and her, causing her mother to get her own shotgun and shoot him out of necessity. I wanted to see what such a traumatic event might look like via a celestial screenshot.

📦 The eighth house is considered a not ideal place to have planets and it is also squaring Saturn. Eight house speaks of death so having the ruler of her childhood placed here speaks of what happened.

🛑 Also worth noting that when this traumatic event happened, she was 15. This is a fourth house profection year. The fourth house speaks of our childhood and it is ruled by Jupiter in her chart.

⛔️ Chiron conjunct her fourth house Ruler too. Chiron in any of the angular houses (even by aspect when it is this close by degree) is going to make childhood trauma/difficulty more active since those houses are “goaded” into action via the angular nature.

🍸 See Neptune present in the fourth as well? It can represent alcohol/drugs which was also involved in the event.

🌑 She was born during a New Moon and her Spirit+Fortune are in the first house (just like I learned the other day; seeing it “in the wild” makes my soul extremely happy). When Spirit and Fortune are in the same house, often the Native will tend to mix career and love in some way. In the class example, there was a married couple that had a business together. In her case, she met her partner on the set of the film Trapped. (GREAT movie by the way: Kevin Bacon and Dakota Fanning star alongside her.)

🩼 The Moon and our Ascendant ruler can speak to our body and health. She has had numerous health issues, specifically on set, despite being healthy and I believe this is because both her Moon and AS Ruler fall in the twelfth house, which is not an ideal house to have planets in. There is some mitigation to the negativity due to Sun being in its domicile and of the sect in favor.

🎳 The Sun, Moon and Mercury are all applying to a square with the malefic contrary to sect Mars. Even with four planets involved there is no reception. They are considered in a slightly less severe position given the degrees are 5+ between all three applying to Mars. Nevertheless it is a difficult placement, especially because her AS ruler+Moon (both representing physical vitality) are being maltreated.

🚀 Mars is “dominating” the Leo stellium containing her chart ruler and Moon through a superior square to which all planets are applying. This is a textbook example.

☄️ Also because there is reception with the square from Mars (which is actually difficult given it is the malefic contrary to sect), this is also making things slightly better.

⏱️The transits on that day:

🩸The most alarming to me at first glance was the transiting Chiron conjunct her natal Saturn within one degree. If I remember correctly, Saturn can represent the father (so can the Sun).

🌎 Because she has a day chart, Mars is the more challenging malefic.

🌞 Transiting Mars is conjunct her natal Sun (and AS Ruler, and Moon aka her body in danger). Also her father in danger. Transiting Mars is also squaring her natal Mars.

💿 Jupiter is the benefic of the sect in favor and is capable of doing the most good but it is in the twelfth place co-present with the malefic contrary to sect (and conjunct that Leo stellium). I believe this created an “ok” outcome in that neither Charlize or her mother were harmed, according to the article, and also that her mother was not charged (because it was clearly self defense but sometimes justice does not always work the way it should IRL). It is a tragedy regardless and far from “ok”; however she and her mother both survived with their health, freedom and each other.

👾 that is all for now, folks… eventually I will finish this movie (again) but didn’t Keanu Reeves’ character have to kill his father in this movie? 🤫

Top 5 iconic Fabre moments?

Top Fabre moments!

His life has material for at least three seasons of adventure TV series, and maybe the ones I chose aren't his absolutely most iconic moments, but focusing on the highlights of Fabre's Catch Me If You Can life:

Choosing to name himself after an award he never won (and humbly deciding that he won't use the name suggesting being related to Jeanne d'Arc). The hero of our story bore the plain last name Fabre, and a boring name is like death for a poet! The second part of Fabre's last name, d'Églantine, originated from a literary contest he participated in, and in fact, won; the difference is that the prize for poetry was a silver lily, and not the golden eglantine, which was rewarded for prose, category Fabre was far from succeeding in.

He claimed to have all sorts of jobs. Through all the professions we can find in his biographies, besides being an actor, theatre director and a painter, we can also find a lawyer, a barber and an engineer, and god only knows what lies he told women. Man of many talents? Possibly; the professions looked very different in 18c, and despite speaking rather rarely at the Convention Fabre actually shows knowledge in law and economy. We have, however, no records of Fabre's careers in fields other than art and politics during the Revolution.

Possible prison escape. According to his friend, Roussel, who also collected Fabre's love correspondence with actress Marie Joly, he was arrested after having issues with his commissioner after painting his portrait. Roussel pointed to him escaping the unfortunate legal consequences, but details of this episode are unknown (just like how reliable it is, likely not at all).

Peak Fabre moments at the Convention include him pointing out there are corrupt people in the French government; and specifically the ones who take advantage of state money. The records of Convention's sessions included a few passages of Fabre speaking up about this issue; hiding in plain sight, if you will, given that it's hard to deny Fabre's sudden growth of wealth after taking an office as the secretary in the ministry of justice.

Lying about his age on trial. Fabre was born in 1750, which makes him 43 at the time of the dantonist trial. He was, however, signed as five years younger while sentenced. Given that Camille Desmoulins' age was written down incorrectly, but according to Camille's will, it's safe to assume they went with whatever birth years were given to them. It's not the first time Fabre would lie about his age to seem younger, which makes it even more likely. We can still see his birth date written as 1755, for example on his most famous portrait in Versailles.

Lecture Hommage au studio Ghibli

Biographies, articles thématiques, chroniques, coulisses… Rien n’est occulté dans cet ouvrage pour mettre en valeur le travail de Ghibli. En bonus inédits, les lecteurs trouveront deux visuels de Miyazaki encore jamais diffusés en France, et surtout des dessins hommage réalisés par une sélection des meilleurs artistes français en lien avec le Japon !

Studio Ghibli Pour commencer, vous vous demandez sûrement ce qu’est un Mook. Après tout, je peux comprendre, ce mot n’est pas celui que l’on entend le plus lorsque l’on se rend dans un magasin, pourtant c’est relativement simple. Un Mook c’est tout simplement un mélange de Magazine et de Livre (Book en anglais, comme vous le savez), formant lorsque l’on réunit les deux termes ce mot-valise les comprenant et s’avérant assez explicatif lorsqu’on le sait. Ce Mook a été créé par un collectif comprenant Animeland et Ynnis Edition faisant que le format a été réfléchit et pensé afin de trouver quelque chose d’innovant, créant le « Mook » comme expliqué plus haut. Il garde, de ce fait, les codes que nous connaissons du magazine dont une taille relativement proche de ce dernier. Celui-ci nous transporte dans l’univers du studio Ghibli qu’une bonne partie d’entre nous connait, ne serait-ce qu’avec l’un ou l’autre des films d’animations sorti au fil des ans ou tout simplement par l’un des noms connus de par le monde : Hayao Miyazaki. Le symbole du studio est tout simplement un Totoro que l’on retrouve dans le film d’animation Mon voisin Totoro, mais surtout dans le Mook qui nous intéresse actuellement car… Le petit Totoro se trouve pile sur la couverture ! Une couverture qui s’avère être douce au toucher, assez épaisse et qui correspond bien à l’univers que nous allons découvrir dans les pages qui suivront. Le titre de son côté est doré, mais ne pose pas problème par rapport aux teintes chatoyantes présentes et s’avère même être agréable à regarder. J’ai une préférence pour l’argent habituellement, le doré étant souvent très tape à l’œil... Alors c’était une agréable surprise. Première partie d'une double page du Mook A l’intérieur, nous découvrons des explications par rapport aux créateurs de Ghibli, ceux qui ont permit au studio de devenir ce qu’il est ainsi que diverses informations par rapport aux films d’animation, ceux que la majeure partie des gens connaissent à présent mais qui peuvent pourtant être encore inconnus pour d’autres, ce qui permet une jolie découverte. Bien sûr cela nous permet également d’en savoir plus sur ceux-ci, de découvrir des éléments que l’on aurait, peut-être, oublié et nous donner envie de les voir ou de les revoir lorsque l’occasion sera présente. En savoir plus a été un véritable régal, un plaisir surtout que j’ai également pu découvrir certains films d’animation que je n’avais pas encore vu. (Attention, risque de visionnage du coup) Pourtant, j’aurais bien apprécié avoir des pages sur les autres réalisateurs du studio même s’ils sont nommés dans les pages des films qu’ils ont réalisé, j’ai tout de même ressenti un goût de trop peu par rapport à cela… Et ce même si j’ai été ravie d’en savoir plus sur Hayao Miyazaki et Isao Takahata, il me manquait ce petit ajout par rapport aux autres. Les doubles pages permettent une immersion encore plus importante dans l’ouvrage et s’avèrent relativement belles. Le papier est assez épais ainsi que mat à l’intérieur du Mook évitant d’avoir sous les yeux ce qui se trouve, en réalité, juste derrière la page que nous lisons. Comme vous l’avez-vu ci-dessus, nous en découvrons plus sur le duo de créateur du studio – même s’il est dommage de ne pas avoir eu les autres réalisateurs, ils sont au moins mentionnés dans leurs films – et ce qui suit ces pages nous permet d’en savoir plus sur la création de Ghibli, les raisons et bien sûr tout ce qui tourne autour de cela. C’est réellement intéressant d’en savoir plus par rapport à cela, de découvrir des éléments parfois inconnus, que l’on a oublié ou que l’on a pu voir passer sans y faire attention. Cela nous permet de voir l’avant Ghibli également, les œuvres que certains classent dans ce studio alors qu’elles n’en faisaient pas réellement partie à l’origine. Elles furent créées avant, mais collent à ce que le studio véhicule et partage avec ses spectateurs. Nausicaä, la vallée du vent est, par exemple, un pré-Ghibli et non pas un produit du studio d’animation même si nous le classons facilement dans celui-ci. Il est le précurseur de ce que nous connaîtrons par la suite, mais pas seulement. Certains des dessins animés de notre enfance en font également partie et je suis certaine que Sherlock Holmes vous dit quelque chose. Non, pas l’œuvre de Conan Doyle, même si le dessin animé se base dessus, mais l’anime créé par Hayao Miyazaki où nous suivons un canidé qui s’avère être… Eh bien oui, Sherlock ! Bravo Watson ! Une page sur Porco Rosso   Après cette partie, nous nous concentrons sur les œuvres en elles-mêmes du studio. Non, vous n’aurez pas d’informations en plus par rapport aux personnages ou d’anecdotes sur le film en lui-même. Dites plutôt bonjour à une fiche du film – il faut bien le présenter – qui sera complétée par le contexte en lui-même de création. Les départs de Miyazaki et ses retours seront donc mentionnés tout comme l’état financier du studio au moment du film en question. C’est vraiment intéressant, écrit de manière compréhensible et pas indigeste pour un centime, mais si vous recherchez plus d’informations par rapport au film lui-même, il faudra vous tourner vers un autre ouvrage ou sur des sites Internet.       Certes, vous en aurez un peu, mais si vous l’avez vu vous n’en apprendrez pas plus sur l’intérieur du film. Ici, ce sera donc ce qui a entouré la création du film d’animation qui primera. Adorant Le Voyage de Chihiro, j’ai particulièrement apprécié voir les raisons ayant poussé la création de celui-ci et je ne regrette absolument pas ma lecture. Si je ne me trompe pas, actuellement tous les longs-métrages sont présents – pas toujours en double page, mais ils sont tous expliqués – et si je devais avoir un regret dans cette partie cela serait par rapport… Aux courts métrages. J’ai l’impression qu’ils ont été mis un peu plus de côté, pourtant ils sont tout aussi intéressants et sont souvent méconnus. Si je vous dis Mei et le chaton-bus ou Le Jour où j’ai cultivé une étoile, cela vous dit-il quelque chose ? Peut-être à certains d’entre vous, mais pas à tous. Malheureusement, ce n’est pas dans Hommage au studio Ghibli que vous en saurez plus si vous l’espériez, des recherches annexes seront obligatoires. Enfin, nous découvrons une autre partie pouvant satisfaire la curiosité du lecteur. Des Interviews sur d’anciens animateurs, des pages par rapport à la place de la femme dans les films de ce studio qui s’avère bien plus importante que chez d’autres monstres de l’animation (Comment ? Non je ne vise pas Disney…), les compositeurs dont Joe Isashi nous font replonger dans l’univers musical existant dans les mondes de Ghibli avant de nous tourner vers ce qui est plus marketing ou visitables tels que le musée Ghibli se trouvant à Mitaka – au Japon, ne le cherchez pas en Europe, il n’existe pas – ou l’exposition qui a eu lieu, justement, à Paris du 4 octobre 2014 au 1 mars 2015 voire les petits magasins que l’on trouve également au Japon. (Des donguris, plus précisément, qui sont donc des magasins Ghibli ici). Mais ce n’est pas tout, parce que l’ouvrage se termine par ce que certains artistes ont réalisés. Oui, vous allez pouvoir découvrir des fan-arts réalisés par différents artistes et collant aux différents univers du studio, des univers merveilleusement bien retranscrits par ceux ayant dessinés chacune des œuvres que l’on découvre. Une nouvelle fois, j’ai passé un doux moment lecture qui change de d’habitude. Le studio Ghibli est l’un de ceux que j’apprécie particulièrement, ayant grandit avec certaines de leurs œuvres, et me replonger dans cet univers via ce Mook m’a permis de me rappeler des souvenirs, de me donner envie de me plonger dans l’un ou l’autre des films non vus et de me faire, tout simplement, rêver. Il est agréable au toucher et à la vue, ce qui est un plus, et nous entraîne dans un petit voyage d’apprentissage sur l’un des studios emblématiques à présent. Une belle découverte et un achat que je ne regrette pas du tout. (D’ailleurs, j’ai craqué sur celui de DreamWorks dernièrement… Mon portemonnaie me déteste…) Et vous, avez-vous lu ce Mook ? Quel Ghibli préférez-vous ?   Pour ceux qui veulent voir/entendre le concert des 25 ans du studio Ghibli, c’est par ici & pour une musique du Voyage de Chihiro que j’écoute actuellement, par ici. Les images proviennent du site Ynnis-Edition. Read the full article

Netflix's 'Maria' and Angelina Jolie are mistaken for Maria Callas

The new biography of Maria Callas follows the larger-than-life takedowns of fictional conductors Lydia Tarr and Leonard Bernstein, dramatizing the most convincing singer you’ve ever…

Féminisme avant l’heure - Actu-Juridique

https://justifiable.fr/?p=2352 https://justifiable.fr/?p=2352 #ActuJuridique #Avant #Féminisme #lheure Éric Grangeon & Rare books Nous avions eu entre les mains, il y a quelques années, un petit livre au titre accrocheur : Les Entretiens Galans d’Aristippe et d’Axiane. Contenant le langage des Tétons et leur Panégyrique (Paris, Barbin, 1664, petit in-12). L’auteur anonyme, dans ce roman par lettres, fait dialoguer une femme, Axiane, et un homme, Aristipe, à qui elle demande de « faire une galanterie » sur le titre Le langage des Tétons. Ce petit livre exquis et sans une once d’image licencieuse, pourrait être considéré comme un traité du féminisme. D’autant qu’Axiane semble mener Aristipe là où elle le souhaite. Le libraire Éric Grangeon, fort de cet enseignement empressé, propose dans son dernier Bulletin, le n°11, un autre ouvrage au titre non moins alléchant : L’Apothéose du Beau-Sexe (Londres, Van der Hock, 1741, in-12). « Ce texte qui est, selon le libraire, « tout à la fois féministe et quelque peu licencieux » n’a pas été imprimé à Londres, comme indiqué sur la page de titre, mais pour la première fois à Amsterdam, en 1741. Ceci pour éviter la censure en France. Il existe des exemplaires portant une date fautive de 1712, sans doute à la suite d’une erreur d’impression. « Le frontispice intitulé : la Boete de Pandore a été gravé par le Hollandais Pieter Yver, né en 1712 (et mort en 1787), ce qui exclut une impression cette année-là. L’exemplaire, proposé 1 800 €, imprimé en gros caractères, a été relié en veau moucheté et orné aux entre-nerfs d’un fer représentant une figure féminine. L’encadrement doré est orné de pivoines dans les coins. Si cette fleur symbolise toute sorte de sentiment, elle est considérée en Chine comme une fleur de pouvoir rassemblant la beauté féminine. Le relieur en avait-il conscience ? Quoi qu’il en soit, les gardes sont constituées d’un joli papier dominoté. L’Apothéose du Beau-Sexe serait le premier livre de l’auteur. D’après Jules Gay (1807-1887), dans sa Bibliographie des ouvrages relatifs à l’Amour, aux Femmes, au Mariage et des Livres facétieux, pantagruéliques, scatologiques, satyriques (Gay et Fils, Londres, Bernard Quaritch, 1871-1873. 6 volumes in-12), ce livre est un « salmigondis en prose, curieux et souvent libre ». Ce qui n’est pas l’avis de Marc Angenot qui, dans Les champions des femmes : examen du discours sur la supériorité des femmes (Québec, 1977) écarte la supercherie. Il affirme que l’auteur « voue tout bonnement un culte religieux aux organes sexuels féminins. » Cet auteur est reconnu comme étant André-François Boureau-Deslandes (1689-1757). Né à Bandel en Inde française, il acheva sa carrière en tant Commissaire général de la marine à Rochefort. Il a laissé, selon les biographies, une douzaine d’ouvrages de littérature, d’économie et d’histoire. Outre les traités sur la marine, il a publié Réflexions sur les grands hommes qui sont morts en plaisantant (Rochefort, Jacques le Noir, 1712), réimprimé en 1714 et en 1755 et mis à l’index en 1758.
