Cheers All,
Well, this is what Bond devotees do on vacation: we dress as closely as we can to the original, and travel to remote places, such as bauxite mines, and obscure lamp posts, and, with screen shots in hand, proceed to rope anyone who will listen into our madness...
My wonderful Amanda yet again indulged my Bond fetish, and cheerfully stood in the hot Jamaican sun on Bond Beach, while I tried to get the shot....She worked for hours on the costume before we left for the Islands, even doing a bit of sewing the night before in the hotel in Miami!
I think she captured Honeychile's mood from the source photo.
God, it was hot!
Great fun!
The shot of both of us was taken by an amused German couple as they hummed "under the Mango Tree".....in German!
We both hope that you all enjoy the photos. It's a job to get there, and when we arrived hot and hungry, we were told that there was no food that day as the supply truck hadn't arrived. We ate peanuts and sand for 3 hours...
Boy, movie making is a tough business...Oh, the things we do for Bond Collecting...
