Sean Connery wore a toupee in every “Bond” film beginning with “Dr. No” in 1962.

JAMES BOND
Yes, I know… I’ve made a few post in reference to James Bond. Im a fan. And obviously I am not the only one. James Bond is a legend. So when Christie’s held its poster artwork auction in London recently, and when it broke a few world records, it didn’t come as such a big surprise. The 1971 Diamonds are Forever poster starring Sean Connery was grabbed up by an American collector for a whopping $129,970. It was hand-painted by Robert E McGinnis and signed by him. Another one that gained the record breaking limelight was a single sheet poster of the classic 1942 Casablanca which gained $49,020. The third one was the poster of the 1962 Lawrence of Arabia which attracted $30,638. Other record prices include Breakfast at Tiffany’s which sold for $20,228 and The Sting for $14,160.

BOND. JAMES BOND (HOTEL?)
This morning I was searching for hotel for an upcoming trip to Paris and came across the Seven Hotel, Latin Quarter. For all of you James Bond fans you may love this! One of the 28 themed suites at this hotel includes the Suite 007 which offers its guest a modern, masculine retreat with a combo of retro-chic and futuristic design. Also included on a huge flat screen is every JB flick you desire. There is a private Turkish steam shower, different mood fragrances, separate toilets, a large desk, mini-bar so that you can mix your favorite James Bond martini and much more. Looks like a great stay.
