    Thread is way better when just the ladies are posting.

    Sorry. Made an observation about shoes in a shoes thread (re Alle's first post). My bad.

    For the record, my comment was not directed towards you Blue, I apologize if it seemed like it was. It was just a comment in general, that I find this thread enlightening when just the ladies are discussing things amongst themselves. Gives me a little glimpse into their world, scary as it is. :))

    Actually I didn't take it the way Barry just explained, but I get where he's coming from now (and pretty much agree ;% ). Thanks for the clarification, Barry, and going back to stealth-mode now! :v :D

    I take it the "transparent" you're talking about is the tulle and lace dress yes? :D Men don't quite have the same words as women when describing clothes :)) :))

    I actually liked that look on Sophie Marceau... thought she was evil and sexy as hell. Which I guess was exactly the intent of the scene?? :)) And I loved, loved, loved the skiing scene, that very much looked like classic (and classy) Bond to me. I thought that was a fantastic Bond girl scene in many ways, and for sure style-wise :D

    Isn't that a great scene? I love how Elektra started the scene by jumping out of the helicopter in her skis, and Bond following her after some hesitation, as if he was thinking "She is one crazy girl!" :) I think he started to fall for her in that scene. I also love how the camera pulled back and did justice to the breathtaking scenery, and that music is fantastic ("Snow Business" is one of the most frequently played tracks on my iPod).

    To me, that scene is one of the best in terms of capturing the feel and the essence of the cinematic Bond's universe (IMO, it's up there with the first shot of Connery in DN, the moment that Bond proposed to Tracy in OHMSS, and the car race with Xenia down the mountain in GE).

    Yeah, I remember liking the visceral quality of the beginning of that scene, but was also scratching my head over the why of it, even for nudge-nudge wink-wink Bond, I just couldn't go along with what was happening. Pretty yes, but pretty dumb too. But I suppose we all have our own and unique Bond-glasses for stuff like that, different strokes.

    I like what they were going for with that character more than what they achieved.

    I completely agree.. and since we're focused on the Bond girl STYLE here.. I'll have to say that is one of the best Bond skiing attires ever for her :D Sophie looked great in that attire. Well I loved Elektra in general, despite the fact she was.... meeeeannnn :v

    Must say Sophie's outfit for the premiere was probably among those we said were ahem.. not up to par? :)) :))

    No, she had that awful floral number on for the TWINE premiere! :)) Her wardbrobe malfunction happened at Cannes in 2005. :))

    I absolutely love her expression and reaction to it...she handled it QUICKLY and gracefully! Don't really love the dress, but she looks pretty. Who needs underwear anyway when you are Sophie Marceau? :))

    Now, I realize I haven't taken into account Elektra's "hidden assets"!

    Haha, sorry frostbitten!

    I'm full of videos tonight. This is usually Hardy's job for Izzy, but since a lot of the guys come here now... :v

    Olga is in Maxim this month! They are calling her the "Hottest Bond Girl Ever"! Pretty big shoes to fill I think. She is looking fantastic though. Here is her video shoot:

    And the rest of the pics:

    What do you guys think? Too pin up?

    as you have asked Mo, I am not excited about the Maxim pics.
    It left me cold as the entire movie has left me cold.
    I don't know what it is, I probably like to keep her in my mind with the black dress and barefoot after the battle. Maybe, I am getting old :#

    She looks pretty tough and fragile at the same time at the end of the movie, I can't find too much of this in the Maxim pics.

    Not that I generally don't like the 007 girls in some additionaly photo shootings :D

    If its going to happen then at least be cool about it ... unlike our 'national treasure' tv host Judy Finnigan during the prestigious National TV Awards ( which are also broadcast live) .... watch and cringe ;%

    You know Mo...that sequence has been knocking around the secret MOD bunker for awhile now. I'd love to tell you who posted it there but Hardyboy would be real mad if I told on him :o ;)

    I like her pictures. Somehow, I've always felt that QoS didn't do Olga justice in showcasing her natural sex appeal (just to clarify, this does not have anything to do with how much or how little she's wearing :) ). She looks much better, to my eyes at least, in the Maxim or Empire photos.

    This one is for Alessandra: ;%

    Yesterday in Germany's most popular show (Wetten dass..) (infact the biggest audience all over Europe..):

    Hugh Jackman together with Nicole Kidman as guests.
    Later came our minister for family and young people, Ursula von der Leyen. She's a pretty conservative woman with 7 (!!) children (5 daughters and 2 boys).

    The Showmaster tried to small talk with her and she immediately interrupted him, ran to the sofa, where Hugh was sitting and went next to him. She said, that this has been something, that she ever wanted and smiled like a teenager.
    She mentioned also that her daughters will be very very sad now.

    Later on ( a long story) she climbed into a rubbinsh bean and then came the moment where she tried to get off.
    vdl5.jpg
    Hugh ran to her and "saved" her, hilarious laughs for everybody, in the hall and in front of the TVs.

    Not to mention the :) :) :) in the face of my wife everytime, Hugh was seen there :#

    You know possibly the worst thing about Hugh Jackman? He's got it all. He's absolutely drop-dead, mind-blowingly gorgeous. He can sing. He can dance. He can act (okay, he's not going to do Hamlet, but so what). And he's just an all-round nice guy.

    Positively sickening. Why can't we get footage of him kicking a puppy or something?

    Still, he could kick as many puppies as you like, he's still top of my Christmas list.

    Oh... my... GOD. I go away for a few days, come back and find this. Please put a specific warning before stuff like this?? "Too much hotness will kill you" or something? (hey this could be a Bond girl line :)) :))) I am at a loss for words, I really am. Especially to define the lucky ***** in the photo with him?!?!??! X-(

    I think this sums it up well:

    Oh yeah. Top of mine too and I'm afraid many other women's :)) :)) BUT we are Bond girls, we shall triumph in the fight :v

    I am also afraid the lady in the photos has more style than some of the recently seen Bond girls :))

    I think the lady in the photo deserves credit for keeping her knees together. I'm fed up of seeing women who lack any decorum. When I remember how I used to practice getting in and out of cars in a mini skirt by sitting on the coffee table and sliding.......

    Hello Alessandra,

    glad that you liked it.

    Entire Germany was talking about this last Monday and Tuesday and nobody even mentioned Nicole Kidman there. Infact, the presented herself very reserved and a bit arrogant, she also left after 1 hour, Hugh staid until the end.

    He sold himself extremely well, very confident, gentleman and very funny. If you are watching the clip carefully, you may see that Hugh and the moderator are wearing different shoes.

    You must know, that the host, Thomas Gottschalk is known for his very bad style in order to clothing and shoes and he had silver shoes. At the beginning of the show, Hugh mentioned his shoes and Thomas suggested to swap and that's what they did with ONE shoe.

    My wife was watching Hugh always like :x :x :x and I could see something in her face looking at me : "why don't you have only 10% of him?" :#


    Alessandra and Ravenstone:

    About the styling of Mrs. von der Leyen: She's 50 now and until she became minister 3 years ago, her styling has been like the one on the right:

    vdl7.jpg

    I would say, that her stylist made a very good job.

    :)) :)) :)) :)) Seriously??! It's not the thing itself, it's the man who has the chest that makes the difference! I prefer NO hair but I never find DC sexy, and Hugh does have chest hair but I find him incredibly sexy and attractive... I adore Matthew McConaughey and he is smooth like a baby on his pecs. It's the man, not the thing itself! The thing is... don't overdo it. Hugh doesn't have much hair there after all, and that's what works. Hairy men are a turnoff for me, sorry :)) So if it really is a LOT, then it is a problem. If it's just some, I can deal with it NO problem, if the bearer is Hugh :))

    A whole post about men chest hair.. that's a new one for Bond girl style :)) :))

    Hair definitely. Gives you something to hold on to ;)

    When it comes to something to hold on to, DC has the ears. ;)

    I know. I've got a mind like a Welsh railway - one track and dirty :D

    I love hairy chests. Loathe hairy backs. However, there are exceptions to the rule. And as I've already mentioned many times already - DC is soooooo not my type - but still. It would be rude not to ;)
