    Did you see that great appeal Dame Judi Dench and Daniel Craig did for this occasion?

      That’s a wonderful video.

      Now I can’t help but wonder what the Bond fans among my students would think about Daniel Craig in drag.

        The one thing I was thinking when I saw the outfit is “How come James Bond is in a formal business suit, but Jane Bond isn’t in the female equivalent?”

        • Cora says:

          Going by what the women in Spooks wear, Jane Bond is about right, if a bit overdressed. Going by what the women in James Bond films usually wear, Jane Bond would have to appear either in a slinky evening gown or a bikini. Both of which would look very strange on Daniel Craig.

            I was sort of hoping for a female power suit with knee-length skirt and stockings ^^.
            Although I might have liked to see Daniel Craig carry off one of the Bondgirl bikinis, yes.
