Hint 1: Clue Explanation
▼This clue, “Extemporizes,” makes me think of improv class more than the art of seduction, which is what its corresponding entry evokes — VAMPS. Theda Bara and Pola Negri are common clues for this entry in earlier Times puzzles (as are the tops of shoes). Etymologically, the sirenic meaning (that I think of) is probably from vampire, while the ad-lib meaning is probably after the shoe part that was often repaired and replaced, back when things were less disposable.
