And now you can find out here right here with this very quiz which supposed damnation most accurately speaks to you. Cheers to being scandalous!

  1. Does Girls Out of Hell describe me as a person navigating the world? No.

    Does Girls Out of Hell describe the women I read about or me who intrigue me, live in my head rent free, and continuously pull me in like a moth to flame? Hell yeah!

  2. My perfect rainy afternoon would be to be reading, with some tea, and some candles, with pauses to watch the rain. Choosing is so very hard!

    Having tea as an option at the café was sorely missed. I opted for a croissant instead and confused the computer into thinking I’m a fancy bitch. Or at least French.

    Anyway: I really enjoy these quizzes :)
