Tracy Bond Takes Out A Guard
If only On Her Majesty’s Secret Service had featured a scene like this. But the superb CJ Hammond, who self-models many of his guys in trouble scenarios, fills in the gap! Here a gun-toting Tracy surveys her hogtie handiwork while keeping her captive safely pressed to the floor by sitting astride him - in a fetching black bikini of course!

more James Bond doodles from my sketchbook :)
gradually drawing all the Bonds. George Lazenby this time + some Tracy and Blofeld. Telly Savalas is my favorite Blofeld actor by a landslide, I think he’s the only one who really struck a perfect silly/serious balance. He’s such a campy 60s movie villain but he still feels like a real threat to Bond’s life. Though I might be biased since I was already a fan of him in various stupid 60s horror movies before I got into Bond.

On Her Majesty's Secret Service / Dame Diana Rigg as Teresa "Tracy" Draco / di Vincenzo / Bond
I considered featuring this outfit for the month of weddings in June, but I had never seen the movie, and I didn't manage to get around to it at the time. I finally watched it this month, and I cannot disagree with those who say Tracy is among the best "Bond girls" ever.
The lacy pantsuit with sheer multilayered robe over it was a bold choice for a wedding in 1969, and it remains so now; but of course, Diana Rigg pulls it off effortlessly. It was designed by Marjory Cornelius.
The ring, designed by Charles de Temple, is also interesting (see below). Two were made for the film, and one of them sold for over 50,000 pounds at an auction in 2022. The words "all the time in the world" are written around both the interior and the exterior.
The happiest of birthdays in the afterlife to Diana Rigg!
