Who's your fav Bond girl ?


Mine is Stacey Sutton : I know most people hate her, but I like her for the following reasons :

Everytime a new actress takes on the role of a Bond Girl, she always states that her character is "a different kind of girl", "very equal to Bond" or that "she can use a gun".

Fine...but these are not "special" or "different" at all. In fact, almost every Bond girl has been a "strong", "fighting" leading lady.

Stacey Sutton, portrayed by Tanya Roberts, was actually a REAL different kind of girl : she wasn't a secret agent, an exotic beauty living on an island, the mistress of some villain or a dangerous femme fatale.

For a change, she was just a normal person, an "everyday people" and this is nice, for reality and credibility sake.
She was a San Francisco citizen, workin in geology field and living in her family estate. She became involved in an adventure she didn't ask for.

So of course she wasn't as brave or competent as a CIA or MI-6 agent, but she did the best she could to help Bond, and faced events with braveness.

Plus, she's beautiful and was, at the time, one of the sexier actress around.

Pussy Galore.

It was a casting choice I don't think they've ever done again in any Bond movie.

The actress playing the main Bond girl (meaning the one who's with Bond at the end of the movie) is five years older than the actor playing Bond.

Honor Blackman born in 1925.

Sean Connery born in 1930.

I believe Blackman was also the oldest actress cast as the main Bond girl. Goldfinger came out in 1964 making Honor Blackman 39. (Looking through the list of Bond movies, I don't see a movie where I think they cast a 40 year old as the main Bond girl. Next oldest is Maud Adams in Octopussy who was 38, but Roger Moore was 56 when that movie came out so 18 years older than Adams.)

So how refreshingly open-minded of the Bond producers........and in 1964.

I'm trying to imagine the fanboys reactions if they did that today. Daniel Craig is 48. So if they cast a 53 year old woman to be the main Bond girl. What a hue and cry there would be.

They cast Monica Belluci for a later Bond.

Good write up! I've always liked Stacey and find her incredibly underrated.

That said, my personal favourite is Tracy Di Vicenzo, with Elektra King and Fiona Volpe following closely behind.

1. Tracy
2. Elektra
3. Fiona
4. Paris
5. Natalya
6. Tanya
7. Sylvia
8. Severine
9. Pussy
10. Wai Lin

Stacey, Domino, Honey, Christmas and Kara could also float in my top ten too.

and this is also just an important link for Olga and Gemma.

The world's stronger, more intelligent groups are on the right side of this: secretcontrol.byethost33.com

It deals with the use of shame factors as a control mechanism. The thesis at secretcontrol.byethost33.com is an analysis of the mechanisms used by a hidden system to achieve its objectives. It explains how it gets things done that otherwise wouldn't be. It answers questions as how to control individuals using shame factors such as incest, paedophilia, queer sex, consensual (closet queer) and non-consensual and how to control organizations by placing these individuals into such organizations. It uses a logical thought process to describe the mechanisms of this system and strengthens this with a large amount of research data. It describes how blackmail is the key to corruption and how this specific form of blackmail can get people to do just about anything. It also describes in detail the technology used and the secret weapon of this system and the groups that are with us.

It explains how this is a replicating system that can and is infiltrating governments, the police, media...etc. It also indicates how just knowing what is contained in this document provides a potential solution. Those groups that use such shame factors will inevitably be destroyed as others discover their secrets.

Kissy Suzuki / Mie Hama. She has the most beautiful face of them all, and she looks great in that white bikini. All of the women in YOLT are hot actually.
