How To Be A Bond Girl


We've been enjoying a Bond marathon of sorts lately, courtesy of 7mate, which has been showing 2–3 movies each weekend for the last couple of months.

Among the many talking points that spring from the Bond franchise, one that has stood out to me is the phenomenon of the Bond girl. Specifically, what does it take to be a Bond girl?

Here are a few of the prerequisites I've noticed.

  1. Never wear a bra. The only exception is when a bra is the only thing you're wearing, although in such situations please consider a light dressing gown, as this will be easier for Bond to take off.
  2. You must possess the ability to say "Oh! James!" This will most likely be your only dialogue so make sure you get it right.
  3. Be willing to take a slap in the face once in a while. Most applicable for those playing opposite Sean Connery.
  4. Get used to sharing. James will, almost without fail, have at least two other Bond girls in every film.
  5. If you're the first Bond girl to appear in the movie, you'd better be prepared to die. Because you most likely will.
