La palabra del dia es* machination, a noun which means the act of plotting or a cunning design or plot intended to accomplish some usually evil end.
I have two favorite villains of all times, both women. The first is Cruella de Ville who is one PETA hating fashionista. She recklessly drives a fabulous car an sports the latest in Dalmatian fur while smoking through an elegant cigarette holder. And there is a song about her which sums it all up: "Cruella de Ville, Cruella de Ville. If she doesn't scare you no evil thing will."
The second is the Queen of Hearts. That beyotch is crazy. But what sane person, once or twice in her life, doesn't think "off with your head" and mean it on some level. That admirable lady is a force and an inspiration. If she wasn't ordering someone to sharpen the guillotine, she was plotting a kangaroo court or the re-coloring of the roses. I'll bet she would support building a fence along the Mexican border. That just seems like her kind of thing.
Alice's curiosity overpowers her smarts
When she is threatened with decapitation
By the fiercest of villains, the Queen of Hearts
And her macabre machinations.
* Bienvenido a Spanish lessons. Seriously, I got tired of writing "the word of the day is" so I tried for some variation.
