THE FEMME FATALE PERSONA 
First, lets establish what the traditional femme 
fatale is like. How she behaves, how she thinks 
and how you can apply this to yourself and 
become one. 
“Femme Fatale” directly translates to mean 
“deadly woman” in French. The dark feminine 
femme fatale you’ll become takes this one step 
further. She has learnt how to seduce, manipulate 
and destroy. 
Whilst people think being a femme fatale relies 
on appearance, as we’ll establish later in the book 
it is your attitude that changes everything. 
So how does one become a femme fatale? 
Through research and evidence from my own life, 
I have created a short list of three key components 
of transforming into the femme fatale: 

---

• BECOME A MYSTERY 
• SHOW GLIMMERS OF A SHADOW 
SELF 
• SEX APPEAL 
 
1. Become a mystery 
This will be touched on a little later in the 
book but this is an important stage in the 
reinvention process. A femme fatale is a 
mystery to others. She is difficult to 
comprehend, unpredictable and different to 
the rest of the herd.
As humans are minds thirst for certainty 
and stability. Therefore, when we are met 
with something that cannot be fully 
gauged, our minds work overtime trying to 
figure it out. This is why being a mystery 
works – it is one of the things that makes 
people obsessed with you and their 
imagination begins to run wild.

Lets look at Alexa Demie as an example 
again. Part of her widespread admiration 
and magnetism lies in what we don’t know 
about her. What we’re unsure about. She’s 
the perfect example of how ambiguity and 
mystery triggers curiosity and obsession. 
Another reason why being a mystery is 
important is because it protects your peace 
and prevents you from being too 
susceptible to the actions of other people. 
The normalisation of social media and 
cellphone addiction has led people to 
believe that sharing your highlight reels 
and posting every single day is necessary to 
be considered interesting. In reality, being 
too prevalent on socials negatively affects 
your mental health more than anything 
else.
