Olga Kurylenko is so not the hottest Bond girl.

Haha! Yes she is. I just wrote that in case Halle Berry was reading this and got upset. (She’s always on here, posting comments under fake names, asking why she’s not in more Primped Loves). Olga is supersonically beautimatocious. And does great makeup, too.

Here she is promoting the Sydney premiere of the new James Bond movie Quantum Of Solace, which I’m pretty sure is about a bunch of quantum physicists who take a break from lecturing at universities so they can play solitude. I think. Anyway, I think we can all agree on one thing when we look at Olga here: There is no way she could benchpress 120 kg. Not with those little arms. What we can all also agree on, is that on the day genetics were handed out (because that’s how it happens, of course), she obviously used to date the guy with the clipboard. (Yes, as an embryo. Shhh.)

Her makeup is very simple: A browny-bronze shadow (excellent to bring out green eyes), a copper lipstick and some subtle bronzer. These earthy tones help to soften the metal snakeskin robot she is wearing in place of a dress, and are a nice complement to her olive skin and dark hair. Well played.

What I love most about Olga, though is the fact that even though she is a former (lingerie) model from the Ukraine, and as these photos demonstrate, was STUNNING with long hair,

She snipped it off to play a Bond girl, who as we all know, are generally regarded as “Hot Girls”, and what do guys usually associate hot girls with? No, not sex, LONG HAIR!

Big ups to Olga for not bowing down to the long hair myth, instead rocking this adorable kindy-style bob with a chunky fringe.

She’s a stunner - with both long and short hair.  Not tempted though, I much prefer long hair on me!  (and trust me, I’ve done both extremes!)

She is so cute! I love the cut of the short hair, however I must admit, I do prefer the long hair… but that’s just me!

I actually thought Eva was a bad choice! We’re forgetting that french actress from a few years back, Peirce Brosnan days......

She is hot but sorry I think her hair is much nicer long. I can never bring myself to cut mine off...... i’d feel unfeminine without it? Maybe 1 day!
