Image via WikipediaLast time, I mentioned that my brothers don't try to emulate (how's that for vocabulary?!) James Bond, and a girl in my class asked me how they could do that, anyway. Well, hell, I didn't mean that they should try to be like him in terms of his job! What I meant was more about him as a man than it was about him as a spy. I was thinking of things like his personal style -- in clothing, social behavior, and so on -- plus his confidence. It's as if the guys think that you either have these things or you don't: you can't develop them for yourself. And of course, I don't think that's true.I even think that about his irresistibility to women-- after all, how many actors have played this role? And some of them aren't even good looking, imo (I can't stand Roger Moore, and while I like Daniel Craig's performances, I don't think he's all that in the looks department). But . . . they all manage to convey -- believably -- the quality (for lack of a better word) that makes the women they meet lose all their inhibitions. I'm going to stop here because I just had what might be a brilliant idea for my paper. I'll let you know if it pans out.
