A Bond girl is a character who is a love interest, female companion or (occasionally) an adversary of James Bond in a novel, film, or video game. Bond girls occasionally have names that are double entendres or sexual puns, such as Plenty O'Toole, Holly Goodhead, or Xenia Onatopp. The female leads in the films, such as Ursula Andress, Honor Blackman, or Eva Green, can also be referred to as "Bond girls". The term ''Bond girl'' may also be considered as a misnomer, with some female cast members in the films preferring the designation ''Bond woman''. In novels Nearly all of Ian Fleming's Bond novels and short stories include one or more female characters who can be said to qualify as Bond girls, most of whom have been adapted for the screen. While Fleming's Bond girls have some individual traits (at least in their literary forms), they also have a great many characteristics in common. One of these is age: The typical Bond girl is in her early to mid-twenties, roughly ten years ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Novel version In the book You Only Live Twice, Kissy Suzuki is an Ama diver and former Hollywood actress. She is distantly related to a local police superintendent working with Tiger Tanaka, head of the Japanese Secret Service and is, therefore, asked to assist James Bond. Bo ...

Chatoyance
In gemology, chatoyancy ( ), also called chatoyance or the cat's eye effect, is an optical reflectance effect seen in certain gemstones. (Historically, the term has applied specifically to gems; in woods and other materials the effect is more broadly known as "figure" or iridescence.) Coined from the French , meaning cat's eye, the chatoyant effect is typically characterized by one or more well-defined bands of reflected light, reminiscent of a cat's eye, which appear to glide across a gem's surface as the object is moved, or when the observer moves while viewing it. Chatoyancy is caused by the presence of fibrous structures within the material, such as in tiger's eye quartz, or by fibrous inclusions and cavities, as seen in cat's eye chrysoberyl, in which the effect is caused by the presence of titanium dioxide, which aligns perpendicularly to produce the effect. Description Chatoyancy in the gemstone chrysoberyl is induced by the presence of the mineral rutile, a mineral ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Teresa "Tracy" Bond (''née'' Draco, formerly Contessa Teresa di Vicenzo) is a fictional character and the main Bond girl in the 1963 James Bond novel '' On Her Majesty's Secret Service'', where she becomes the first Bond girl to marry 007.
