I want to draw a full-fledged art with him, but I don’t have an idea yet :((

Women have always been at the forefront of literature, the first novel (what we would consider a novel in modern terms) was written by a woman (Lady Muraskai’s the Tale of Genji in the early 1000s) take your snide “Isaac Asimov” reblogs and stick it

even in terms of male scifi authors, asimov was predated by Jules Verne, HG Wells, George Orwell, you could have even cited Poe or Jonathan Swift has a case but Asimov?

Since my last propaganda poster got so much love, here's a MOTA version with my fave three; Gale, John and Rosie. <3

31 Days of Bond Fashion

DAY 6: THE BLACK VERSACE DRESS as seen in Casino Royale (2006).

Though much more was made of her aubergine-coloured, diamond-encrusted Roberto Cavalli dress, it’s Vesper’s more understated black number that echoes (we might even say like a spectre) through the Daniel Craig Bond films. Made by Versace, it featured a low sweetheart neckline, straps at the back and a lace bolero for occasional cover. The dress demonstrated she was a stylish, fashion-forward woman in contrast to Le Chiffre’s girlfriend, Valenka, and provided the blueprint for a new era of dark-haired, tortured, sophisticated Bond women. 

Inspiration for the dress might have been taken from Fleming’s original novel: “Her dress was of black velvet, simple and yet with the touch of splendour that only half a dozen couturiers in the world can achieve. There was a thin necklace of diamonds at her throat and a diamond clip in the low vee which just exposed the jutting swell of her breasts.” 

The film replaced Fleming’s diamonds with a far less glitzy “Algerian love knot,” which would take centre stage not just in the casino but beyond. Incredibly, it was a made-up concept: the Algerian love knot didn’t exist in jewellery terms. Eon Productions commissioned Sophie Harley to create it. She used ancient goldsmithing techniques and contemporary design knowledge to make it one of the most famous necklaces in film history. The original sterling silver and gold design is available on her website for £2,640. For a version in 18ct gold, you’ll have to fork out an additional £41,000. 

Even more enduring than the necklace in Craig's era is the sweetheart neckline of the Versace dress. Costume designer Louise Frogley on Quantum of Solace echoed it with Camille’s Prada dress, and in Skyfall, Jany Temime gave it a nod with Severine’s casino look. Notably, the only woman after Vesper who doesn’t whip out a devastating formal black gown is Madeleine Swann. Maybe that’s for good reason: No Time to Die positions her as the only woman who would never betray Bond.
