There have been plenty of books devoted to James Bond over the years, most of them written for the kind of guys whose idea of a hot time is debating the relative merits of Holly Goodhead vs. Pussy Galore. 007 has never gotten the kind of visual treatment he deserves—odd for a fellow so focused on style.
The beautiful new James Bond Encyclopedia sets that to rights.»
It may be early, but we’re always up for a little Bond.
Celebrating the author’s 100th birthday—which is coming up next Wednesday—Penguin is revamping their catalog of Fleming-era Bond novels with new editions and, best of all, new covers. The striking images come courtesy of San Francisco-based artist Michael Gillette, who makes appropriately sensual use of watercolor. The type and colors do a good job of replicated the 60s milieu, while the women remind us of the books’ central appeal»
We’re glad to see that one of our favorite women of all time, gorgeous Czech model Eva Herzigova is still getting work at the ripe old age of 35.
Last year when Louis Vuitton signed her up for their supermodel extravaganza, we figured it was a one-off for a favored LV face of years past; however the brand just brought her back for its new ad campaign, shot by Mert and Marcus at the Unisphere in Queens. Unfortunately in a few of the shots they’ve decked her out in some rather hideous garments reminiscent of those lamentable Bond girl outfits from the ’80s - think Barbara Carrrera as Fatima Blush in Never Say Never Again.
We of course prefer our Eva unclothed, or nearly so, hence the above shot.
