Gallow Goddesses: Women with Killer Instincts
For femmes who sharpen their eyeliner like a blade.
She doesn’t just survive — she strategizes. The women with killer instincts turn grief into weaponry, beauty into camouflage and intuition into lethal precision.
They’re the ones who slip arsenic into the champagne flute, who sharpen stilettos into daggers, who smile while calculating the downfall of those that wronged them.
These stories aren’t about meek heroines or sanitized girl-power — they’re about femmes who plot, seduce and strike with gothic elegance.

Sexy Crimes & Chaos: TV to Keep The Brat Out of Trouble
This watchlist is full of cautionary tales that she refuses to take as warnings. She’ll watch with a grin, a stiff cocktail and the certainty that trouble looks better in heels.
