Monday Morning Mock Drafts: Black Widows!

Guten Tag drones!

I went into my notes for this week’s topic and found that, at some point during the off-season, I had scribbled down ‘Femme Fatales’ as a possible topic, and then of course made no other notes.  So I’m pretty sure I thought of it, but also apparently didn’t put enough thought into it to actually put a name down as well.

Good job, Horatio Who Wasn’t Concerned About The Straight of Hormuz!

Anyway, Dictionary.com defines ‘femme fatale’ as “an attractive and seductive woman, especially one who is likely to cause distress or disaster to a man who becomes involved with her.”

In other words, your Mom.

So there’s your rules for this draft:  if she fits the above definition, in your opinion, you can draft her.  Just don’t draft your Mom, because that would be weird.

You cannot draft men, not because I’m sexist, but because there’s nothing particularly unusual about at attractive man becoming a disaster to a woman who becomes involved with him.  Or even an unattractive man, for that matter.

Honestly, how this species persists is a mystery.

Anyhoo, back to the draft.

An actress who has played multiple femme fatale rules is eligible for each role.  It is the character, not the actress, who counts as the pick.

I did a little research to jog my memory and I found who I was undoubtedly thinking of when I came up with the topic.

Linda Fiorentino as Bridget Gregory.  Steals a bunch of money from her husband, then ties poor Mike in knots before…well, watch the movie.  It’s pretty good.

The rest of you are on the clock!

There’s a pretty obvious #1 pick here.  I didn’t take her out of deference to Bridget Gregory.  I’ll be curious to see how fast one of the rest of you get her.  And also just how many Bond girls Balls takes, other than “all of them”
