Who Really Cares About the Bond Boy Rejects?


Well I care about most things from the 60's.
And BOND is a big part of it.

(daanemartina) Play the song to feel the campy mood we are working on here

These are the BOND REJECTS
Who Would Be James Bond?In the early '60s, movie producers adapting Ian Fleming's novels about a suave British spy named James Bond plucked a relative unknown, Sean Connery, out of obscurity and offered him the role of a lifetime. And when Connery left the franchise after five movies, the hunt for Bond was on again. 

Is it any wonder how this guy didn't cut the mustard?
Hmmmmm?
I think is chest is hairy enough, it is just CONCAVE.
Not very sexy.

What would YOU say he is trying to say in his
Head Shot here?

Then there was this hottie.
Yes. I think he could have pulled it off.
You will see in the next few stills of him in action.

YUMMO

I might let him kiss me.
Would you?

Yes, he would have worked just fine.

Definitely not this guy.
No way, with those shifty eyes!!
 
I think this one might have given
Captain Kangaroo a run for his money.
There is one more shot of this guy that I thought was amusing
.
Yes. This is the one.
I don't know why but I get a kick out of it.
Maybe because he is just so ' striking a pose.'
(my brother will like this post and be giggling along with me)

I can't really do a post without discussing 
a little bit of design. Right?
So, what do you think 
about a mirror, on an angle above the bed ?
*As shown here 
with Sean Connery in bed with a sexy spy girl.
In a million years I would NEVER EVER 
have a mirror over my bed 
unless it was a skinny mirror!!!
And any of you ladies who have tried on a 
bathing suit in a dressing room 
and looked fabulous?.....
...that was one of those special magic skinny mirrors.
I have been searching for the source all my life.
My lady clients would adore me 
if I could supply them with skinny mirrors.
Don't you think?
You know you want one.



With the famous Pussy Galore character.

The first crush that I had on a movie star was Sean Connery.
I was in elementary school, I didn't know I had a crush on him.
All I knew was that I wanted to change my name to Sean.
He did set the style
of man I would be drawn to for the rest of my life.

I thought he was darling from every angle.

How did you feel about him?
Who was your favorite Bond and why?

A Swedish Vacation House

Okay my peeps, 
I know we mostly like 'traditional' .
But it is important 
to be able to take away just 
one good idea 
from a design we may not be crazy about.

You can never have enough glass.
Right ?

COLD.

BUT, I like any kitchen that opens to an outdoor area.
Mine does....and I love it.
You don't ever feel claustrophobic.



I think the butcher block stairs and counter tops are an interesting idea.
I would like it in walnut or in limed oak.
 The stainless drawers are a great look.

The stairs have so much work in them.
I can appreciate the workmanship.
(but I would still like it better in walnut)
But I know they had their reasons.
This is supposed to be a Swedish Family home
where they take saunas together and then jump in a cold body of water.
Which happens to be right outside.
I love to do that too!!!

The glass fireplace is fabulous.
The glass walls are fabulous.
This space is fabulous.
But.....
I would do it differently.
Would you?

Oh look!
So that's where you place those floor lamps!!!
Click here to know more.
What did you 
come away with that you liked?
"The large old farm  house converted into vacation house for a family located at the nearby city of Malmo. The house especially designed to create a manifestation of the Swedish ritual of sauna and bathing. Apart from the sauna and attendant space for undressing, washing and relaxing , the mill house is also small dwelling. Surrounded by the beautiful natural garden while also appreciating the Japanese Zen master’s approach to finding the simple live. The traditional rite of sauna involves baking together and dashing out for an invigorating dip in a cold stream. See all photos, site plan and floor plan after the jump. Developer: Winggardhs"

I Wish I Had A River ...

I could skate away on.



river - joni mitchell

It’s coming on christmas
They’re cutting down trees
They’re putting up reindeer
And singing songs of joy and peace
Oh I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
But it don’t snow here
It stays pretty green
I’m going to make a lot of money
Then I’m going to quit this crazy scene
I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
I wish I had a river so long
I would teach my feet to fly



( you tube  MademoiselleNobs1973)
*My Christmas Song.
During my young adolescents
I was ALWAYS listening to Joni Mitchell.
Her words and music saved my life
on more days and nights than I can count.
I was a sad kid who spent all her time
trying to mentally escape through writing,
*and other typical ways in the 1970's.

Yes. I thought I might be a writer of sorts.
But, that was all way before I found out where my true talent would lead me.
But, I would like to know.....
Is there some singer - songwriter who touched you deeply ?
If so, would you share with me who it is?

A French Artist's Studio


How is it ?

Why is it ?

They just can pull it off......with such ease.

Style.
As only the French can do!
I mean this is an artist's studio,
and their living space.
It is divine.
Especially the 1st picture and the last (bedroom).
This is a regular/normal ( as normal as an artist can be) person.


Don't you agree that Jean Paul 
from 21 Rue Jacob, Paris Fr.
can pull off something that William Butler 
from Little Rock Arkansas can not?

Are you confident 
that if you were an artist 
with no interior design experience...
that your place would look this cool?

Just imagine how it would be if each of us,

If only for a few hours of everyday,We could be in a space that is our very own.A place that is exactly the way we want it to be

Surrounded by all the things we wanted to see,

The atmosphere we wanted feel, smell and the sound we wanted to listen to.
