Bond Is Forever

I've been wanting to write about this for a long time....

I admire the essence of a Bond Girl. Mysterious, Beautiful, and Cleverly named ala double entendre. A bond girl will typically be a victim, agent, ally, villainesses or member of an enemy organization. A few are just simply stunning!

According to Wikipedia A Bond girl is a character portraying a love interest/sex object of James Bond.

If you are a heterosexual male you wanted one of these girls, and if you are a female you wanted to be one of them.

Mariah Carey actually acted the part of one of my faves "Honey Ryder' from the film Dr.No- in her uniquely named "Honey" video.




And... Halle Berry had a similar take of this classic Bond Girl outfit in "Tomorrow Never Dies"






With a few other notable Bond Gals like:

Pussy Galore- (I love her Killer hair)


Jill Masterson- (who else can make death by gold paint look so glam?)





Vesper Lynd (From the Original Casino Royale- '67)





and Solitaire- (Jane Seymour at her finest!)




These ladies are all icons. Classic, Elegant, Sexy, and Fashion Forward!

Recently Gwen Stefani payed a small tribute to these gals by creating a bond girl swimsuit line for her L.A.M.B collection along with countless other designers who continue to create pieces inspired by these fine women. Check her out at http://l-a-m-b.com/
