Four Ways Of Looking At JAMES BOND..

*1* AS A STYLE ICON.

He isn't exactly a gentleman, but he sure dresses like one.. Jason Bourne's dashing enough,but grubby tees and cargo pants do not make a style icon.From Sean Connery's strapping presence to Roger Moore's debonair charm,each Bond has brought to the character a distinct flair.The American Designer Tom Ford scores a coup and gets to create a whole wardrobe of made-to-measure suits,shirts,casulas,knitwear and ofcourse that signature tuxedo for the stylish spy.

*2* AS A TECH GEEK.

Forget your new i-phone,your GPS watch and all the other tech toys you are so proud of. Nobody does it better than Bond-not even Batman.The guy was a gadget geek way before the term came into vogue.He wields them with confidence and with style ofcourse.Dont forget that Bond hallmark of High-Tech Weaponery-his trusted wristwatch-which has on seperate occasions helped him outta tight situations by sawing thro ropes with a hidden blade and even unzipping with its magnet the dress of his own Woman.

*3* AS A PERENNIAL BACHELOR

He's no villain,we know that,But when it comes to the girls,He's a right cad.Women in Bond films are more often than not , mere means to an end,temporary distractions.He loves 'em,leaves 'em and discards 'em without any guilt.Who can blame Him..?? In Casino Royale,rookie agent Bond ventures to quit the service for love only to find out that his ladylove is a double agent who dupes him.

*4* AS A LUXE TRAVELLER

Ever seen Bond fly economy,drive an old truck or rough it out at a budget lodge..?? No Way.Also Bond's destinations are the stuff made of sun-kissed beaches,five-star suites and casinos. And Bond rides,well,just feast your eyes on Pierce Brosnan's Aston Martin DB5 from 1995's Golden Eye.And wot not British Airways featured prominently in 2002's Die Another Day when Brosnan flew in its first class cabin and ordered himself a "Vodka Martini"-Shaken not Stirred.
