Just spent a lovely morning at
the James Bond Style exhibition -
The gadgets the story boards and most
importantly for me, the costumes captured the glamour and the world of James
Bond.
Bucket list – work in the costume department of a James bond movie – even better Design the costumes
I’ve always enjoyed a James Bond
movie, but more recently, actually, since living in Australia, the Ex-pat thing
has grown within in, and now I love all things Bond.

| Costumes at the exhibition |
So much so I listen and sew to Ian fleming’s Bond books by audio. These are read by the very best of the British acting fraternity, Damien Lewis reading Diamonds are Forever has been a particular favourite!

| Kitty and I spending time with 'Daniel' |
I organized a ‘Shaken not Stirred” fancy dress video
evening for my theatre friends - What
fun watching Skyfall all dressed up in sequins and drinking Vodka Martini’s
So viewing the Melbourne Museum
exhibition of Bond Style was thoroughly enjoyable. The skill behind these films
is inspirational.

| As I said before one for the bucket list – to design for Bond – YES PLEASE! |
