I take great pleasure in beautiful things. This sentiment is especially lived while I am on vacation and in fact love to enjoy the Bond-like pleasures.
Spa
Treating yourself to a Shrublands-like moment can be a decadent treat. A vigorous massage in an amazing setting is very Bond. Bond lives as if he might die tomorrow and therefore lives life to the fullest. Although a Spa and their treatments might be a sizable expense, having someone focus on your well-being and comfort is very rewarding. Afterwards you will walk a little differently, a slight swagger to your step.
Pool side
Cucumber soaked cold clothes over the eyes, fruit filtered water, and a casual grotto swim all conjure up the fine life.…

I remember as a child watching an episode of the Flintstones where Fred buys Wilma a bowling ball for her birthday. I remember laughing at his excitement in purchasing it for her, and laughing even harder when she let him have it after receiving it.
Of course she didn’t like it, Fred! YOU like bowling, not Wilma. Wilma likes pearls and appliances made of talking elephants.
Of course, now I am old enough to appreciate these situations, I realize I myself have turned into Fred Flintstone; but instead of a bowling ball I use Bond girl accessories to become the butt of my own joke.…

From time to time I will receive emails from the younger generation mentioning how Bond is starting to influence their lives in a positive fashion. It never ceases to amaze me how put together some of the younger generation are. Case in point is this letter from a James Holley, who in a few years will be giving me a run for my money in living the Bond lifestyle.

Hey David,
Before I start, I just want to say that I absolutely love the new website. While I am hardly a closeted Bond fan, I love the idea of sharing bond moments between other like-minded people.…

Kyle Barbeau
The agents heart began to race as the train pulled into Pennsylvania Station, New York City. He hated arriving in the modern iteration of this once-storied railway terminal, much preferring the old-world splendor of Grand Central, further uptown, but his mission brief dictated otherwise. The agent had been on his feet since the train had entered the tunnel beneath the East River, and was now standing in front of the doors, eagerly awaiting arrival. Barely were they open before the agent stepped out onto the platform, checked to make sure that he had not been followed, and hastily ascended the staircases, first to the concourse and finally out to street level.…

Marcos Kontze
My name is Marcos Kontze. I’m the creator and editor of the James Bond Brasil website. I’m also known through out the Bond forums as Marketto, since 2002.
One of my first real Bond Experiences which certainly I’ll never forget happened in London, exactly one year ago today, in Leicester Square during the Premiere of The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo…the movie starring Daniel Craig and Rooney Mara.
It was my 27th Birthday and my dear girlfriend Julia was living in the city. Since she couldnt give me any birthday gifts personally, and knowing that Im a huge Bond fan, she decided to surprise me with the greatest gift any Bond fan could ever want; a Happy Birthday wish and an autograph from James Bond himself, Mr.…
