Apologies 008....wait...Genrewriter operates under the number 008....soooo

Two 008's?

Anyway, yet another good man in Station C.

:)

No problem. I'm from a secret MI6 subdivision that operates covertly, like Splinter Cell with two PPK's. Genrewriter can be an standard MI6 operative from 007's division! :)

This is all making me feel very unfaithful. The only brand name I've stuck with for any length of time is Noxzema shaving foam. Everything else changes as the mood takes me.

Currently the favourite aftershaves are Kenzo and Rocabar (from Hermes).
Cuff-links are either Versace or by an English designer named Nick Hubbard.

First off, I wanted to say that this is a brilliantly fun idea for a thread!!! :) Okies, here goes my exhaustive list.

Bedding: Polo Ralph Lauren comforter in maroon, olive and mustard paisley, striped sheets bearing the same colors.

Beer: Guinness Draft, Newcastle Brown Ale, Boddington's.

Bracelet: Thick knotted silver bangle, with aged blackening.

Breakfast: Typically, a Jimmy Dean Sausage, Egg and Cheese Biscuit sandwich or two slices of whole wheat buttered toast, always with coffee (cream & sugar) and a glass of orange juice. Preferably, Eggs Benedict with said coffee and juice.

Car: 1995 Volkwagen Passat VR6, Twilight Autumn exterior with tan leather interior. Favorite former car, 1987 Saab 900 Turbo, black with tan leather interior. Dream car, 2005 Bentley Continental GT.

Camera: Canon A80, 4MP Digital Camera and my trusty, old Canon ELPH.

Champagne: Bollinger, I've always preferred it to Dom Perignon.

Cigar: Don Tomas Corona Grandes, Cohiba Robustos (Dominican seed, true Cubanos have been sketchy for years now), Romeo Y Julieta Petit Julietas.

Cigarettes: Marlboro Lights (three gold rings on the cheap). Davidoff Magnums and Dunhill Superior Milds, when I'm splurging.

Cigarette Case: Prometheus of Germany, silver, holding 18 cigarettes.

Cities: Boston, Madrid, Miami, New York City, Santiago De Compostela. I've always wanted to visit London, Rome, Tokyo, Venice and Zurich.

Clothing: Giorgio Armani, simply because the man's clothing can be worn by any man standing at 5'8", straight off the rack. Prefer black, blues and earth tones, in timelessly traditional cuts. Avoid visible brand markings.

Coat: Black, Italian wool, with high collar, broad lapels and hem at mid-calf. I've sworn to own this coat till the day I die...though it's not seen much use here in Florida.

Coffee: Nestle Mountain Blend Chicory with milk, very sweet. Bustello Cafe Cubano. Barney's Jamaica Blue Mountain and Kona.

Colognes: Guerlain's Heritage and Imperiale, Jean-Paul Gaultier, Polo Ralph Lauren for casual days which promise lot's of sweating.

Confectionary: Godiva Dark Chocolate.

Computer: HP Pavillion 7970, reliable and servicable but due for replacement within the next year or two.

Deoderant: Gillette Clear Gel, Cool Wave.

Desk Calendar: Page-a-day's Zen Calendar.

DVD Player: JVC and Panasonic (bought recently, great thus far, but I should've held out for a Toshiba).

Fashion Magazine: GQ and Esquire...though I've not purchase either in ages, despite having been a long time GQ subscriber.

Firearm: Heckler & Koch P7M8, Heckler & Koch USP Compact, Walther P99.

Fastfood: McDonald's Double Quarterpounder with Cheese and large fries (pity most, if not all locations, no longer supersize fries).

Food: Spicy Lobster Neuberg (Mum's recipe), Japanese Cuisine and Sushi (Unagi in particular), Virtually anything from Morton's Steakhouse...though a crab stuffed filet with a cream sauce comes especially to mind!!

Furniture: Cherrywood bedroom furnishings and executive desk, high backed black leather desk chair. Blonde wood and medium tones in living room.

Glasses: Eddie Bauer and Guess frames. Would love to frame my eyes with Armani or Oliver Peoples frames!!

Hair Brush: Kent Vented Quill and Vented Paul Mitchell Paddle Brush.

Hotels: Ritz-Carlton, Park Plaza when splurging. Marriot Hotels for routine travel. The Breakers, West Palm Beach and The Renaissance Vinoy Resort & Golf in St. Petersburg, Florida. The Royalton, NYC, for it's take on modernist monastic minimalism.

Jackets: Three quarter length black leather peacoat, I own two (again, not very useful in Florida). Several light weight silk windbreakers for Fall and early Spring. An olive, hooded, three quarter length Bannana Republic raincoat.

Knife: Victorinox Swiss Super Champ, Black (as opposed to traditional red).

Lighter: Ancient silver Ronson, inherited from my Grandfather. Black and gold Colibri trench lighter. Several Zippos, including one featuring the Bond Gunbarrel. A Dunhill trench lighter would be nice someday.

Music: Late 70's to '80s originating British bands and artists (namely Duran Duran and Sting), American Traditional Jazz (Dizzy, Bird, Miles, Coltrane) and Baroque Classical.

Pants: Always pleated front and typically baggy, weight dependant upon the season...prefer lightweight materials..gaberdine in particular. My ethos for clothing strictly applies here, cut and comfort, above name brand always.

Shaving: Edge Vitamin Enriched Gel. 'The Body Shop' razor frame with Gillette Trac II Plus blades, 'Body Shop' shaving brush and a lather tin (for the gel).

Shirts: Classical cuts, partial to Oxford shirts in solid colors, brand is irrelevant, cut and comfort is king. Gap, Old Navy Polos and Guayabera/Habanero cut short sleeve button down shirts for summer.

Shoes: Bally, Cole Haan and Ralph Lauren. Timberland boots and leather sandals. I prefer my sandals to have an Ancient Roman vibe to them, with plenty of traction on the soles. Birkenstocks look great, but I've always found their traction wanting.

Shorts: Pleated front cotton shorts, no shorter than just above the knees and no longer than just below.

Tea: Twining's Earl Grey and Salada Green Tea

Television: Ancient 25" Console RCA ColorTrak 2000. Made in 1982 or so and still running strong!!! :) When it comes time to buy another TV, it'll definitely be an RCA.

Ties: I'm not brand particular here, but I do own quite a few and thoroughly enjoy my collection of Jerry Garcia ties. I prefer medium wide ties in solids and painted collages...a 1930's and '40s vibe to my ties is preferred.

Toothpaste: Aquafresh Multiaction Whitening. :)

VCR: Panasonic Omnivision. 10 years old and running well, but siffering occassional operational quirkiness.

Wallet: I have no idea of the brand, as it was a gift. Yet, it's a brown leather magnetic money clip, with a well sized credit and ID card pocket. It's sleek and hassle-free, with no bulk whatsoever.

Watch: Prefer silver. Omega (inherited), Citizen, Casio, Fossil, Skagen and countless others. I have a good many watches, each for different outfits and purposes. My dream watches are the Omega Seamaster, Rolex Submariner and a Cartier Tank Francaise (large size, steel).

Wine: Spanish Riojas for Red, German Reislings and Liebfraumilchs (which I understand to be pedestrian in Germany, but I can't resist the sweet taste!) for Whites. For a dryer white, Chilean Conche Y Torro.

Women: I love them in all shapes and sizes. Yet, a few particular qualities truly threaten to give me whiplash. Long, natural, red hair. Pale, Dresden China-like skin. Aquiline facial features. Any woman who reminds me of Greta Garbo, Rita Hayworth, Irene Dunne, Ingrid Bergman, Audrey Hepburn and Monica Belluci (sure, she's the odd woman out, but what a woman!!!). Intelligence and wit count a good deal more in this department than looks, though looks are nice...intelligence, looks and wit...that's golden!!! :)

I'm not much of a "brand" guy, but there are a few I prefer. Even those aren't rock-solid, because I will turn to other brands based on availability, or just for variety's sake.

soft drink: Pepsi (Coke is good too, but Pepsi is #1); A&W (but I never met a root beer I didn't like); Vernors (beats the pants off of any other gingerale, hands down).

razor: Gilette. They won my loyalty when they sent me a Mach 3 for my 18th birthday.

watch: Timex. I wear a Dakota watch right now, but I don't like it as much as my old Timex. I may have to get another, or just replace the battery.

automobile: Ford (Ford Ranger 4x4, to be exact.)

beer: Budweiser

1911: Colt. I have a Springfield that I love, but if I could only have one, I'd take the Colt.

P-35: FN/Browning. Is there any other?

levergun: Winchester 94. My Marlin is nice, but the Winnie is better.

knife: pocket/ Camillus Camp Knife. lockback/ Buck 110. fixed blade/ USMC KA-BAR

work boots: Stanley (Wolverine)

Brand? Gala Brand. :D

Sport: Fencing. Epee!

Water: NOT Evian. Sry but after living in Dubai where snobs show it off, you begin to have issues with it.

Soft Drink: Diet Pepsi. The Diet Coke isn't bubbly enough for my tastes, and if I have the regular stuff I tend to get really really hyperactive. I'll be bouncing off the walls saying stuff that should be censored. Don't make me tell you the details of what happened at a sleepover three years ago...

Juice: Mango... or Raspberry. Orange juice only when freshly squeezed!

Coffee: Grande Caramel Cappuccino from Starbucks. Coffee based. With whipped cream and plenty of caramel on top!

Martini: Actually, I hate alcohol. I like the "Gala", Bond's first and only mock-tail... stirred, not shaken! :lol: As far as currently-out-there mocktails go, I'm tied between a Virgin Strawberry Daiquiri and a Shirley Temple.

Breakfast: The pancakes at the Fairmont at Copley Plaza, Boston. One with blueberries, one with bananas, one with chocolate chips. Plenty of maple syrup on top!

Cuisine: Chinese and Japanese all the way. Preferably noodles such as Yaki Soba and Shanghai with spicy sweet and sour sauce over a combination of beef, chicken, and shrimp. Not to mention crab roll sushi!

Chocolate: Thorton's toffee pieces in milk chocolate!

Dessert: "Bogo's Marriage". It's a Sicilian cheesecake that M invented last X-Mas, plenty of dark chocolate and raspberry sauce, and you all know how I start ranting about raspberries and dark chocolate when moody!

Accessories: Scarves... plenty of scarves. Especially my black lace one, even though I got it from Claire's. *blushes*

Shoes: Spring and Aldo... I love boots!

Clothing: Cannot say... have everything from a size 01 to a size 172 in my wardrobe if you just look at the numberings so I obviously get it from a whole variety of brands. The latest fashion is what I deem clashion, therefore I prefer to have my own style. As I've said already: Brand. Gala Brand.

Underwear: Oysho... soooo cute and random. Especially the ones with penguins hugging each other, or cows with wings who chase hippoes with magic wands. Highly amusing!

Brasseries: Chantel... and I hate LaSenza with a passion. Bond girls don't bounce, trampolines do!

Car: Aston Martin. Thanks to a window malfunction in Drax's BMW X5 today, I understand perfectly well why Bond switches to the Aston Martin!

Airline: Emirates... the Airbus 340, first class! By now I'm an expert at sweet-talking my way into an upgrade!

Perfume: Agent Provocateur... the essence of being a Special Branch Agent, if you ask me! :cooltongue:

Eyeliner: ArtDeco, bright colors work lovely!

Blush: BobbiBrown, 01 "Sand Pink"

Foundation: MaxFactor Lasting Performance, 001 - Fair

Mascara: Guerlain's "Fairy Lash" Mascara

EyeShadow: BonneBell, the summer edition one that looks like a flower. Soooo nice and compact!

LipGloss: MaxFactor's "Sheer Frost", "Frosted Berry" to be specific. DAD fanatic, aye? But the effect is just lovely! Lancome's "Juicy Tubes" are a wonder too!

Magazine: Ahlan! Dubai's silly gossip magazine but I love it cuz of that article on how to do Eva Green's make-up from CR. It works!

Dress: "Aubergine/Eggplant/Purple Halter" by Roberto Cavalli, the custom made one! :)

Jewelery: The Algerian Loveknot by Sophie Harley, Arwen's Evenstar Pendant from LOTR, my "Domino" earrings (one black dice, one white dice, with sparkles!)

Watch: Omega. Think of the one in the Nicole Kidman advert, but all platinum. Am dying for it. Hate gold, I just do.

Cellphone: Nokia 7390, L'Amour Edition - "Powder Pink" :angry:

Men: Suave, witty, devoted, charming, money doesn't hurt either. MUST be taller and older than me and clever, worldly, sophisticated, and well-read but still up for the occasional bits of mischief and adventure. He should let me live my life cuz I'll let him live his, but also be there through thick and thin. As said once here, I need somebody who is "half James Bond half Oscar Wilde". NOT kidding! :D

Countries: Japan, Croatia, Thailand

Cities: Osaka, Tokyo, Chang Mai, Zagreb, Vienna, Paris, New York City, Boston

Universities: Ivy. Poison Ivy.

How to watch a Bond movie: In bed. With my laptop in my lap. That way I'm in bed with James Bond!

Being in 'deep cover' these days (living the life of a lowly high school teacher) my opportunities to demand my favorite brands are few and far between. :angry:

Luckily I am, at heart, a woman of simple desires :lol:

Sport: Not a huge sports fan, but I do love football.

Water: In my whiskey

Soft Drink: Anything made in Japan (Calpico is a particular favorite) and tea.. of course

Coffee: I prefer either French press or turkish style coffee with real cream and sugar (occasionally flavored.. with Baileys :))

Martini: Grey Goose, look at the bottle of vermouth as you're making the drink (as Churchill used to say), double lemon twist, shaken.

Breakfast: Skipped usually, but on the weekends it's two organic, free range brown eggs (I swear to you they taste better) sunny side up (usually only barely cooked), two pieces of wheat toast with real butter, orange juice, milk, coffee.

Cuisine: The current favorite is Vietnamese (I'm addicted to Bahn Mi and Vietnamese iced coffee with sweetened condensed milk). I'm a sushi fanatic as well (and it's toro season!)

Chocolate: White or nothing at all.. Sorry Bryce, I may have ruined your theory about women and chocolate :cooltongue:

Dessert: Something small and very strong. If every restaurant had a single spoon of very tart lemon sorbet or gelatto, I'd be a much happier woman!

Accessories: Men? I wish hehe.. usually a bag/purse and whatever the weather demands.

Shoes: 9 West above all others (both boots and heels). I love my Chuck Taylors as well.

Clothing: Mostly the Gap, but also loads of Vintage pieces (I'm currently scouting a black strapless number for DTBB2 :D). If I had an unlimited budget, I'd buy everything from Boden.

Car: In my dreams: Aston Martin. In a year when I graduate from Grad school: Mini Cooper

Perfume: Anything made my Creed.. ever! I'm sure I'd love Guerlain's Ode if I could get my hands on it. The current scent of the month (until I find my signature scent.. if that exists) is either Rose Water or a simple Lavender oil.

Eyeliner: Rarely touch the stuff

Blush: After 8 pm

LipGloss: Burt's Bees (peppermint).. hey, the weather is harsh in Ohio!

Magazine: I absolutely detest all of those ridiculous girly magazines (like Cosmo). The only magazine I read right now is Esquire. I already know all the stupid things women do to get men, seeing the opposite is far more interesting to me :angry:

Jewelery: I have several rings I wear on a daily basis, but they're more sentimental than designer. I had some Tiffany at some point, but after that relationship died.. well, you know :lol:

Watch: Currently searching for a nice 60's cocktail watch which I plan to ostentatiously wear in the daylight :D

Cellphone: Is terribly old and needs to be replaced.

Countries: I need to travel more...

Cities: In my very limited experience, I've enjoyed Toronto, Boston, Atlanta, and good ol' Columbus so far.

Men: I seem to have a thing for older men these days. Basically, I don't want a fraternity boy or a corporate whore. The 20-something market is usually split between those two extremes (in Ohio anyway). And is articulate too much to ask? I'm only attracted to dark-haired men for some reason, but it's worked out so far :D
