    Totally agree with you on this. I suspect if you asked people why he was in drag in the first place, most would be not able to tell you. Stunts like that are great for grabbing the attention initially but maintaining the message often proves tricky.

    Unfortunately that's exactly the problem with stunts... they grab attention but they lack substance. The debate on what this does to Bond's character is not for this thread, but really on the mere part of women's rights I thought it was really poorly handled. And I do not like the fact that M seems to humiliate Bond either. That is not equality, that's a woman behaving just as badly as men do when they bully or discriminate women.

    All the above said, something must be done about that dress. What the HELL goes on in the head of costume designers for Bond? Not only I haven't liked HIS attires at all in the past two movies, but also Bond girls have been sorely lacking in elegance, class and refinement. And Bond in drag, well, the least he should wear is Armani Privé! :)) That dress looked like something taken from a market stand in the pile of 3 for 20 euros deals. :))

    While I hated the video I loved the thust of the campaign...

    That said ale brings up the knub of the issue -positive discrimination is as bad as negative discrimination and stats prove nothing.... Only education that breeds balanced viewpoint and the behaviour of gentle -men and -women can ever resolve these genuine issues and it will take time.

    So back to dresses....loved the 3for 20 euro image....

    But ale so down on ALL the dresses? Even in CR?

    Vespers casino gowns ?
    And of course caterina Munro would look desirable in a curtain replete with pole, but that red dress is surely worthy of Chris deburghs lyrics no?
    And again olga the same curtain, but that little black dress surely tilted the stereo type a little

    Granted jasper conran is a pleb and poor fields.....hardly worthy of the plough in that horror ("but I've nothing to wear...." yes so that piece of nothing is all u have to wear...) :s

    I won't go on, nor slide down the slope that is Tom ford, but you are normally more hip and less hipster in your criticism....

    Guess you've been busy but it's nice to have u back . -{

    I am in complete agreement with you regarding education to be gentle-men and gentle-women being the sole solution to the matter. Very well put!

    And you are right, I just said in general the Bond girls didn't wear appropriately chic clothes because that was the overall impression, but it's true that Caterina Murino (who in fact WOULD look desirable in a curtain replete with pole :)) ) had a nice dress. I'm not a huge fan of the overly elaborated straps all over back (unless it's on a La Perla :D) so it wasn't exactly my favorite style, but it did look good. And at least it was red silk satin, smooth fabric without all the overdone lace or ridiculously baroque velvet they put on Eva Green.

    As far as Vesper: sorry, in general it's a no for me. Those dresses weren't fashionable at all the way they were supposed to be. They were extremely baroque, not the timeless, sleek style a Bond girl is supposed to have. (at least in my opinion). All of the evening/cocktail dresses Pam Bouvier wears in LTK would look absolutely great on a girl at a party now. That's because they're classy, elegant, refined, timeless pieces. (Carey Lowell being drop-dead gorgeous obviously helped). Eva Green's were dated already when she wore them, let alone now. And anyway really not my taste. The black one with the strapped behind was ok on top, didn't like the bottom and liked even less the fact they paired it with that horrid lacey thing. Minus the lace that was ok, although it exposed too much, ahem, boob factor :)) I'm serious, that too must be evaluated carefully. There was too much showing. The line between sexy and vulgar is a very thin one when decolletage is involved. The purple one, just no for me all the way. Color, shape. Nope, sorry. Her daytime wardrobe: hell no. :))

    And QoS, good Lord. Gemma Arterton should sue them for how poorly they dressed her. Or, well, didn't dress her. Kurylenko is so pretty that like Caterina Murino she'd look good in anything, so nothing to say about her being pretty but that black dress was pretty anonymous. Seen a zillion times, nothing special, and I also think they should have given her something with a different shape given she has a model-like body. I don't think that underlined her shape the way it was supposed to. It wasn't bad, it was just... not up to par. So that's why I said they haven't been doing their job properly when it came to Bond girls in the past two movies. They really need to do a better job, especially considering what their predecessors did.

    Good reply Ale, esp the delicate issue of décolletage.... :)

    Come to think of it I hated the lacy thingy !

    And you know you have me down for the count when u bring up Carey... :s
    Still one of the most gorgeous bond girls - how I hate Gere!

    Come to think of it I hated the lacy thingy !

    Décolletage is a really, really hard part of picking the right dress. First off, it must fit properly, and that is difficult for most, no matter what. And then it needs to, how can I say, enhance the feature without overdoing it. It needs to "underline" the feature but it must NOT look like everything is there for everyone to see, and the line is really, really fine. That Eva Green number was past that line, she made me think about Juliet's nanny in Romeo & Juliet :)) Now seriously, it went too deep down. When you see all of the line between the boobs? That means it's all wrong. Sorry for the explicit description, but that's how it is :))

    See? That lacy thingy was seriously bad IMO. I do not like lace, unless it is on a La Perla. But on dresses, really not. There needs to be a very small amount of it and the person wearing it needs to really be able to pull it off (for example Lupe in LTK with that De La Renta lace dress, but she was supposed to look more "vulgar" than Pam Bouvier of course.)
    And you know you have me down for the count when u bring up Carey... :s
    Still one of the most gorgeous bond girls - how I hate Gere!

    I totally understand you :)) She is gorgeous, still to the day much more so than many 20 and 30 somethings! Gere is one damn lucky guy. And they seem to really have a good marriage, there has never been ANY hint about them getting on less than well. Which, in Hollywood, is basically a miracle. The funny thing is, as we mentioned before in the thread, he really isn't my cup of tea. So he's definitely been lucky in my opinion!
    The stewardess on the CIA plane in quantum had a nice pencil skirt no? :#

    :)) yes, always appreciate a nice pencil skirt. Then of course a Bond girl must have way more than just that! :)) I think they have not been doing their job properly as far as Bond girl costumes are concerned, or at least they haven't been doing it as well as they are supposed to. Like you said, Murino was good, but much of it is due to the fact SHE would look good in anything (though again, that dress was definitely nice enough). QoS was a total disappointment for me from that point of view. And Eva Green's clothes throughout CR, no thanks. I'll take ALL of the Pam Bouvier wardrobe in a beat though! :D

    That is me looking at that photo. GOOD LORD! Do such dimensions even exist or is that photoshopped? :)) Seriously I hope it's a good photoshop job, because otherwise...

    How do women embarrass themselves so much and sink to such lows?! And then there are those who fight for women's equality rights! While these types embarrass the whole gender, and make it obvious that well, we're only "tits & ass" to quote "Chorus Line". Seriously? 8-)

    Oh look at that! Thunderpussy showed up... about damn time! It took THAT photo to make you post in here again? :))

    Which I believe was décolletage ?

    Seems to me the issue is how one decorates the "crevice "

    Here we have the natural look overlaid by "close friend"

    Followed by the common decor....the necklace

    Hello all, I think I am beginning to warm up to Alessandra's hopes for Mr Cavvil as a future 007. I have been watching the Tudors and out of all the younger male cast members, he is definitely the best. He knocks spots of the chap playing the King by a long chalk!

    My clothing question is this - when have the Bond women (in and ouf to the films) got their wardrobe right?
    This is Thunderbird 2, how can I be of assistance?

    Hello all, I think I am beginning to warm up to Alessandra's hopes for Mr Cavvil as a future 007. I have been watching the Tudors and out of all the younger male cast members, he is definitely the best. He knocks spots of the chap playing the King by a long chalk!

    Welcome Mr Thunderbird 2! -{ We're of course pleased to have you. I am PARTICULARLY pleased seen the above comment :)) needless to say I completely agree with you. Everyone always goes on about Rhys-Meyers (the chap playing the King :D) but I agree Cavill is way better. Much better screen presence, and more subtle in his acting. Then of course there are older and more experienced actors on the show who are great (like Jeremy Northam who should DEFINITELY be M to Cavill's Bond). But out of the younger male cast members as you said, he's definitely the best.

    I think there are quite a few scenes on the show where he really has the Bond quality (especially given the type of character he plays, and how he interacts with women and how he becomes tough when at war, I don't know if you've seen that yet as that is only shown specifically from S2 on). I'm very pleased to hear that you see those qualities in him, too.

    And of course, you would have been welcome in here regardless :D Especially since each one of us ladies has a different preference for Bond actors (Monique and I agree on Pierce, but seen as there's Henry I thought it fair that she should have all of Pierce and I all of Henry :)) ).
    My clothing question is this - when have the Bond women (in and ouf to the films) got their wardrobe right?

    :)) some basically always get it right. I don't think I've ever seen Carey Lowell particularly badly dressed. It's just the most recent ones (from TWINE on) who sometimes have a really hard time getting it right :)) I do think Caterina Murino has good fashion sense in general. And Olga Kurylenko is so pretty she rarely looks bad in something, but I remember having seen her in quite, ahem, peculiar attires (as in, not really good ones :)) ).

    You know I adore carey but no one get it right every time..witness..

    A clear error of décolletage i feel, no?

    Btw no one has mentioned Michelle Yeoh ...a beautiful elegant strong woman who i can't recall making a hash of her private appearance....as to her bond-ages well I'll open it up to experts..
    That said I own the catsuit and a friends wife recently tried it on and it still looks great on the right figure..

    Oh, I very well remember that photo. Let me say this, that is not a wrong dress. That is a VERY nice dress. The problem is that it's too WIDE for her on top. See how it's falling off? It wouldn't be too deep on decolletage either if it was in the right position. Look at where the dress is up on top? That should be right in line with the armpit-chest line, and it's way below it. It's falling off :)) So the issue here is that she probably didn't realize it wasn't the perfect size on top AND she didn't want to be seen, ahem, pulling it up, while taking photos :)) In this case, bad idea Carey, you SHOULD have pulled up the dress :)) I remember seeing other ones from the same night where she clearly had fixed it and they looked way better than this, but I'd have to look for them. The dress per se is a very nice dress (very nice sandals, too), I fear she made an evaluation mistake where the shape was involved though, or she should have bought it a size smaller. So in any case, clearly not an ideal solution, tsk tsk Pam, my fashion icon :))

    And you are completely right about Michelle Yeoh. I always forget about her. She IS beautiful. I am not very well-aware what her fashion sense is like. I shall check immediately :v

    She also looks like she is totally lacking in a good strapless push up or balcony style bra, which would - for a better term - fill the top bit out in a much more flattering way. But you are right Ale, the top is just too big.... you can see it on her shoulders. Plus with the cowl neckline – you need to have substance behind it :))

    In fact, the golden rule is to always make sure you have very good (read correct) fitting lingerie. It makes all the difference, and it is amazing how many woman get it wrong.

    In fact, the golden rule is to always make sure you have very good (read correct) fitting lingerie. It makes all the difference, and it is amazing how many woman get it wrong.

    I guess for some celebrities (Paris, Britney, etc.), the golden rule is: Make sure, that you are wearing any lingerie :D

    Oh, I very well remember that photo. Let me say this, that is not a wrong dress. That is a VERY nice dress. The problem is that it's too WIDE for her on top. See how it's falling off? It wouldn't be too deep on decolletage either if it was in the right position. Look at where the dress is up on top? That should be right in line with the armpit-chest line, and it's way below it. It's falling off :)) So the issue here is that she probably didn't realize it wasn't the perfect size on top AND she didn't want to be seen, ahem, pulling it up, while taking photos :)) In this case, bad idea Carey, you SHOULD have pulled up the dress :)) I remember seeing other ones from the same night where she clearly had fixed it and they looked way better than this, but I'd have to look for them. The dress per se is a very nice dress (very nice sandals, too), I fear she made an evaluation mistake where the shape was involved though, or she should have bought it a size smaller. So in any case, clearly not an ideal solution, tsk tsk Pam, my fashion icon :))

    She also looks like she is totally lacking in a good strapless push up or balcony style bra, which would - for a better term - fill the top bit out in a much more flattering way. But you are right Ale, the top is just too big.... you can see it on her shoulders. Plus with the cowl neckline – you need to have substance behind it :))

    Absolutely and completely right, Lexi. I'm one of those "weirdos" who wears absolutely NOTHING without lingerie. Ever. And I am a maniac for nice lingerie (I have quite a few La Perla pieces :D). But more than that, I can't stand not having the absolutely perfect lingerie to match a dress. Like you said, that makes ALL the difference in the world. You are completely right when you say the point is that lingerie must be of the correct fit. And you are right again when you say it is amazing how many women get it wrong :s

    LOL that dress is too big AND you're right she is lacking the appropriate lingerie as well. But I think even with lingerie, it looks like it's all falling down because it's big, and when that happens, how can I say, the lingerie is dragged down with the dress :))

    Oh, BT, not a fan of Michelle Yeoh? I didn't say she's my favorite, but I do think she's attractive? Your wife sure knows better though, so I bow to her judgment :D I think my favorite type of Asian-looking woman is Lucy Liu. I love her acting and her style!
