Siren



The sound of a siren can is a disturbing sound. It signals distress, emergency and danger. It's a sound most of us do not like hearing.

In Greek mythology a Siren is a sea nymph, part woman and part bird, who lures mariners to destruction by their seductive singing.

Siren = A seductively beautiful and charming woman...


A siren of the silver screen is the epitome of grace, beauty and elegance always accompanied with an ever appealing bit of attitude.

Janet Leigh was one of the most versatile sirens of the silver screen with her beauty which ranged from dark and seductive to cute and peppy.

  3. Good word.
    Are you upset when a great word is associated with a not so great connotation? I hate that ambrosia is an awful dessert and even that ether is an anesthesia.
