Tuxedo Brimming with Cool
by Roger Robbins
It's The Pose - that tongue-in-cheek chic - that defines James Bond (007). In his Savile Row suit, Bond stands next to his Jaguar XK120, Beretta pistol in hand, ready for action.
Bond World is bigger than life. The action is bold, the villains (and their villainy) outsized and unforgettable. All hangs in the balance as 007 serenely sips champagne, plotting his next move.
So, be adventuresome. Strike your own Pose at the library service desk. Ask for "Bond. James Bond."
