My name is Bond, Prada Bond

Ian Fleming is the creator of the famous secret agent  character James Bond AKA 007. However, it seems that men are fascinated by 007 in a whole different context.

On few dating sites (not just one), a lot of men's nickname are an alteration on the famous  secret agent's name. So i am not surprised to see (Ahmad_bond , BondQ8i, JamesBondQ8, Q8-007,Bond-bedoon, NomadBond), these are just examples, there is a longer list. Men associate  Bond / 007 with   strength , smartness, intelligence and of course gadgets. The things men THINK girls like.

 Now, what i don't understand is the relation that somehow developed at some point , without Ian Fleming's knowledge, between 007 and designers. Only on a famous Kuwaiti dating site you see nicknames like (LV-007, BondVersace, Dior007 , GucciBond, Gucci007 & Prada007).

These names are all from one site. Actual nicknames for registered users. It makes me wonder, are  men trying to convey a message to designers that they should be more thrilling, design a more on the edge clothing lines ? Or are they conveying a message to the producers of 007 movies to dress up our favorite agent in European latest fashion because his British designed clothes are boring and classic? Or do these users act like James bond and dress up in Versace & Prada ?

Dying to know.

Women are the new men

I am as open minded and non judgmental as they come but female interaction is not my thing.

The dating site that i am on doesn't allow members of the same gender to contact each other. So, if someone wants to do that, they would have to create a profile posing as a member of the opposite sex (a female who wants to contact females, have to create a profile as a guy).  A lot of work, and you have to pay for it as well. Nothing in life comes free, even memberships on dating sites.

A nickname like C-Dior  could be very well used by a guy. There are lots of  cosmopolitan men out there who are into fashion and designer clothes. Nothing , so far , is weird in getting an email from Mr. Dater AKA C-Dior.

I looked at the profile, right age group, tall, & athletic so when a chat request came, i was at my keyboard typing. All me fellow women  know you cant resist a man who is into designers , esp Christian Dior.

Mr. Dater & I start talking .All general stuff, the weather, things to do in Kuwait , TV shows. Mr. Dater loves Christian Dior Saddle purse. Mr. dater also knows that the decent woman does not wear two different colours on her fingernails and toenails. All common beauty knowledge EVERYMAN should know, right ? nothing weird so far ? As a matter of fact , things couldn't be better, a guy who knows about make up , cool  .

BUT when we talk lipstick and a man says that the best red lipstick ever is  Chanel Rouge Hydra base Creme Lipstick in Red N°5, you know something is wrong. Only  a woman would know that  precise information. Mr. C-dior is definitely a Miss Dior.
