Would you rather attend a casino in Monte Carlo GE or sip cocktails on the rooftops of Shanghai SF?

  Given my age, I'll pick Bibi and buy her an ice cream.

  Magda. Bibi is a nice girl, but way too young for me.

  Haven't seen FYEO in a while now so had to look up how old Bibi was meant to be... um...

  16 apparently... I genuinely didn't know that and presumed she was meant to be 18... very much a 'what in the Diddy is this' situation...
  
  Magda.

  We can shift to the Brosnan era for our next one and ask the following:
  
  Would you rather run into Paris Carver at a party OR meet Jinx at a party held in an ice palace?
  
  Paris, an old flame who still holds a bit of a torch. She used to like hard liquor but now prefers a softer drink.
  
  
  
  
  Jinx, a fellow agent with a sense of style. A bold woman who doesn't take a back seat to anyone!

  I think that Jinx is much more the type I'd like to "run into" but I'd prefer to do it in surroundings with an acceptable temperature.

  Well, you can 'heat things up' yourself, no? But indeed, sign me up for Jinx, and I'll take her back to Cuba again...

  Jinx in the ice palace for me too.
  
  I was never a hater, despite a few questionable quips. Besides, she seems like a fun person.
  
  And don't kill me but I think the ice palace is one of the best Bond villain lairs since 1990.

  By default, I have to choose Paris. I think both were lacklustre Bond girls, but Jinx can take care of herself. Paris on the other hand is in a toxic marriage and needs out. Also, while I find TND utterly average, I loathe DAD. If only for the whole setting and vibe, it's Paris again.

  I quite like the ice palace, so I'd rather be there than a conventional party. But could I be spared Jinx's horrible jokes about point and thrust and so on?

  As Bond Girls, I'd sit this one out. However, I would like the opportunity to ask Teri Hatcher how this came about (her cover of The Beatles' song "Good Night").
  
  :D

  Not bad @Dwayne I had no idea she sang or at least attempted to sing. Back in the late nineties Terri was the "it" girl. I can recall how big a casting coup it was to get her for TND. I remember first seeing her in Tango and Cash and having a crush.
  
  Not sure who I would choose here as both hold a special place in my Bond girl rankings. I suppose I like the Ice Palace vibe more than a stuffy celebration of a television network. So Jinx for me!

  All right lets move on to the Craig era!
  
  Would you rather run into Fields at the airport OR Paloma at a bar?
  
  Ms Fields is a wonderful field agent. You may have to disarm her icy exterior! Ms. Fields makes a trench coat rather sexy!
  
  
  
  Ms. Paloma a rookie agent on her first assignment. She hits the bar hard but is more than capable of taking out the baddies.

  Paloma at the bar, but you can’t go wrong with either.

  Fields. She's almost as beautiful as Gemma Aterton and she's, well, nice and friendly once you know her better.

  Paloma at the bar.

  However lovely and sexy Fields is, Paloma is in a league of her own, radiating as much as Fiona Volpe so many years ago. Hell, NTTD is probably saed by her 2 minutes screentime. ( I'm beeing unfair, but I don't care).

  Obviously Fields since she's down for sex I mean looking for the stationery.

  Paloma. Best character in NTTD (and you know I love the rest of the movie as well).

  Some of us like the bad girl. The woman that has a darker side. Lets see who we would rather tangle with, or perhaps it's something that might spark something deeper.
  
  Would you rather visit Miss Taro up in the hills OR get tied up with Helga Brandt on the Ning Po?
  
  
  
  The house is cool, and you may suddenly crave Italian food and musical.
  
  
  
  You may feel tied up but you can tell Helga about your times on the high seas and espionage.
  
  Who would you rather spend some time with?

  Tied up or spat on - I'll have to give this some thought.
• Ludovico

  November 6 edited November 6 Posts: 15,226

  I think Miss Taro. I'd have a better control of the situation.

  Not being tied up gives you a considerable advantage. So I'd rather be with Miss Taro up in the hills, down there.

  Moving on to the Moore era and he wasn't without his share of beautiful but deadly women. Again, there is something about a bad girl.
  
  Would you rather enjoy a picnic by the waterfalls with Rosie Carver OR throw some judo moves with May Day?
  
  
  
  
  Rosie has a duality to her and is double trouble. A rookie with some questionable deduction skills Rosie is a temptation to all who come near.
  
  
  
  A beauty with strength to match! May Day is not above using teeth or anything else when doing judo! Still she has a beauty to her in an unconventional way.

  By default, Rosie Carver. I'd rather relax in a picnic with a woman smitten by me, than having my date break my bones just because she can.
