Just when you thought is was safe to put
your wallet away more Bond heavy December edition lifestyle magazines hit
the newsstands! ARENA leads the pack with its plastic bag sealed edition
(must be hot!), an exclusive photo shoot with Eva Green, and photographer
Ellen von Unwerth’s fabulous 10-page pictorial perfectly captures why the
Bond producers cast Green as Vesper Lynd in Casino Royale. Cor! If
you don’t add this one to the collection you may never sleep again, but on
the other hand, if you do, you may never sleep again!
The 10th anniversary special issue of T3
features a nicely photographed 5-page feature covering real-life Bond
gadgets – indispensable for all Bond fan lifestylers! As if an illustrated
article entitled ‘spy school confidential’ and a competition to win the
stunning James Bond Ultimate Edition Attaché Case weren’t enough
reason for purchasing the December issue of DVD MONTHLY, then the free
Bond Girls Are Forever DVD stuck on the front cover is the clincher.
Crafty devils! You just won’t be able to say no, will you! Expect more to
