	Vamp (woman) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Vamp is a colloquial term applied to describe a particular type of femme fatale, popular in silent films.
		The term is a shortening of the word vampire, and is used to describe a woman who is glamorous in an exotic, stylised and usually overstated manner.
		Among the notable vamps of the silent screen were Theda Bara, Louise Glaum, Musidora, Nita Naldi, Pola Negri, and in her earliest film appearances, Myrna Loy.

	Djuna Barnes Diary Dangerous Child Essays - Djuna Barnes's The Diary of a Dangerous Child
		For the viewers of the vamp, this ambivalence lies within their unwitting draw towards yet moral repugnance by the vamp and her actions; for the viewers of the child, this ambivalence lies within their "fearless" protection of innocence by rescuing children from dangerous situations.
		The vamp was consequently not an alien topic to Barnes; some pictures of Barnes show how she adopted some aspects of the vamp's dress: dark makeup, thick rouge, grandiose hats, and dark clothing.
		In fact, when the crew on The Clemenceau Case (1915) began calling her "vamp" as a nickname, Theda "was proud of her new title." However, in a year or two, she grew tired of the label, viewing it instead as a "harness" to her career (Golden 55).

	I was seduced by a vamp
		The way I understood it, if a woman was career-oriented, ambitious, wanted a man to be hers and showed it, downed a couple of drinks and had a cigarette dangling from the lips, she was not the Bharatiya nari.
		While it is true that the sensuousness of a Helen or the raw sexuality of a Bindu was an initial attraction, what I latched on to was their portrayal of an independent, bohemian spirit.
		A woman, who knew her numbers, was clear about what she wanted in life, and went all out to get it.

		She was one of cinema's earliest stars and most of her work has perished; only two of her films remain, along with a collection of impressive stills.

	Vamp!
		A vamp is a woman who, not always being a stunning beauty, has the ability (and the figure) to drive men to their ruin.
		Theda Bara was the first official vamp of the movies, which was, no doubt, a major switch from the virginal quality held by the other film actresses of the time.
		So the Vamp is really a classic sort of thing that died out by the mid-30's, but there were always a few stars that could faintly carry on this title.

		But she doesn't have her vamp face that typically goes with the growl sound, and her ordinary, fangless Willow face doesn't look all that frightening, even with a mean expression on it.

		One 1991 release that certainly didn't deserve to be neglected was Transvision Vamp's Little Magnets Vs. The Bubble of Babble, an eccentric and quirky effort drawing on both early-'80s new wave and '60s rock.
		Transvision Vamp's songs were catchy, fun little pop numbers and lead singer Wendy James managed to be tremendously sexy while still scaring the hell out of me (for all the right reasons).
		People who liked Transvision Vamp usually liked us and our audience probably had Transvision Vamp records, but I thought they (the band) were so appalling.

		A woman is walking along the street, her attire catches everybody’s eyes: she’s clothed in the latest fashion.
		According to psychologists, a man, whose costume is extremely considered (no matter which one, even a skiing one), often tries to hide his colossal diffidence and prove his value, attract attention and sometimes to confirm his superiority with the help of some attire.
		We can rather say that such woman doesn’t see any other advantages in herself, which could attract men’s attention to her and cause their delight.

		Although she had a comfortable, middle-class upbringing in Cincinnati, Bara (whose real name was Theodosia Goodman) was promoted as the daughter of a French actress and an Italian sculptor, born under the stony gaze of the Sphinx.
		Her personal appearances were choreographed to enhance an exotic image, and her film roles played on the public perception of her as a temptress, a "vamp." Golden argues that her career was the prototype for those of Harlow, Monroe, and Madonna.
		Basically, I knew she was the original "Vamp", that Theda Bara was not her birth name and that her name was an anagram for Arab Death.

		While studying for exams at college, she supplemented her allowance singing the blues in wine bars and was snapped up by guitarist Nick Christian Sayer, later her partner in the Vamp.
