A collection of Bond diva Shirley Bassey’s dresses is going on show next week ahead of an auction in the name of charity.
50 of the magnificent gowns- one for each year that Miss Bassey has been in showbusiness- will be on display to the public prior to their auction which will be held by Christies on September 18th.
The 66-year-old singer from Tiger Bay is selling her unique collection to raise money for the Dame Shirley Bassey Scholarship at the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama in Cardiff and the Noah’s Ark Children’s Hospital Appeal.
She admitted that being seperated from the dresses will be a difficult thing for her to do; each one has reinforced her image as the glamorous, larger-than-life singer of such classic Bond themes as Goldfinger and Diamonds Are Forever, and these themes, along with her inmitable style have been ingrained in the consciousness of everyone, Bond fans and non-Bond fans alike.
“Parting with these beautiful gowns will be an emotional experience as they have brought me great success in my career and have been loved and admired by so many…I feel proud knowing I wore these gowns,” she said. “I love them all.”
All the dresses being auctioned at Christie’s are the work of Ms Bassey’s favourite designer, Douglas Darnell.
The dresses:
Below are descriptions of just four of the dresses up for sale to the highest bidder this month.
The entire collection is expected to fetch more than £50,000 charity.
One company which has benefitted from Ms Bassey’s love of glitz and glamour over the years is the Austrian crystal group Swarovski, whose gems have been used in many of her outfits.
“It is a wonderful opportunity to be working together with Christie’s and Dame Shirley on such a noble event in order to raise money,” said company vice-president Nadja Swarovski.
Wealthy fans are bound to bid for the dresses Christie’s deputy chairman Jussi Pylkkanen, added : “It is a tremendous tribute to Dame Shirley that, after 50 years at the pinnacle of the music industry she has taken a momentous decision to sell her famous dress collection.
“The exhibition, like the auction, promises to be a dazzling event and we look forward to raising a significant sum for the charities concerned.”
The auction will take place at Christie’s, King Street, St James’, London, on Thursday, 18 September at 8:15pm BST.
Remembering those lost…
You will never be forgotten.

The music piece is performed by Rich Douglas.
Music4Games has interviewed Sean Callery, composer of 24, the hit Fox TV show, but more importantly to Bond fans, he is also the composer of the forthcoming James Bond game Everything Or Nothing.
In the interview, Callery reveals that EA gave him a 65 piece orchestra to work with, and they mixed the soundtrack in full 5.1 surround sound, guaranteeing that the player will be immersed fully in Bond’s world.
There are between 60-70 minutes of music that have been recorded for the game, and Callery doesn’t rule out the possibility of a soundtrack to the game, something not seen since Tommy Tallarico’s effort on below-par Bond game Tomorrow Never Dies.
The soundtrack is also interactive, and will change according to how the player proceeds through the game, becoming more frantic should Bond stumble into a large-scale gunfight.
It all sounds like exciting stuff, but for the full interview, please make your way towards Music4Games.Net.
After the last reports about Halle Berry having received the Jinx script in mid-July, things are becoming more precise.
The reliable Yahoo! Movies Site lists summer 2005 as the release date for the Jinx movie. MGM has just revised its previously registered internet domain "www.jinxmovie.com", that reinforces the likelihood of the spin-off even further.
The official Everything or Nothing web site has updated with another 5 screenshots showing off some hand to hand combat with Bond battling it out against various foes, including Jaws.
There’s also another Insider Report, an interview with Aaron Halon’s one of the Level Designers working on the game.
