I think that one of the best ways to showcase the beauty of vintage and feminine glamour is to look at the history of Bond women. I have always loved 007 films. They are bigger than life, fantastical, sometimes cheesy but always entertaining. Arguably the most famous image is Ursula Andress in the white bikini coming of the water with her knife. That iconic scene was replayed decades later by Halle Berry.

Another really fun aspect of the Bond films are the characters' names. Remember the following: Pussy Galore, Kissy Suzuki, Bambi, Thumper, Chew Mee, Holly Goodhead, Octopussy, Xenia Onatopp, Dr. Molly Warmflesh and Strawberry Fields! Despite the fact that these women were created with a very chauvinistic slant, I can't help but admire them still for their stunning style and their girl power attitudes. They were demure but steely on the inside.

Best of all are the fashions from their days. These gorgeous women were either in skimpy bikinis or figure hugging evening gowns.
