↑ Fake 倉頡 Congkit/Cangjie keyboard in Tomorrow Never Dies (1997).
The funny thing is, the 倉頡 keys (and placement) are accurate enough; it is possible the 艸 character is used in place of the more commonly seen 廿.
But the other keys (like the numeral keys 一、二、三, etc. accurately translated they may be) being either unnecessarily rendered in 漢字 (Chinese characters), or placed wrongly (like the 刪除 “delete” where the 逗號 “comma” key usually goes), or just bizarre (like what are 火八 “fire eight” and 火九 “fire nine” keys?), makes this obviously a joke keyboard! 😹
↑ Another imagining of the TND fake keyboard.
The naming and placement of the keys here at least matches up more accurately to a hypothetical, totally 漢字 keyboard.
(note the 逗號 key next to the 一 (M) key, rather than the 刪除, and no weird 火八、火九、火十 keys placed randomly, like shown in the movie prop!)
Actually…I wouldn't mind having a keyboard like this, just for the kicks! Unnecessary and pretentious it may be! 😹

October: Black Redux
Tomorrow Never Dies / Teri Hatcher as Paris Carver
I like the shape of this dress, but I'm not sure what to make of the feathery decorations. They add textural interest, but possibly the actual feathers are just a tad too much? I do like the subtle ruching around the bust; it gives the look of a strapless dress with a separate shoulder cape, although the "cape" appears to be attached. There's also the suggestion of a belt or waistband before the skirt falls smoothly to floor-length, without any special adornment.

September: Bond Films
Tomorrow Never Dies / Michelle Yeoh as Wai Lin
This article states that there are "five primary modes of Bond girl chic," and I'm planning to look at them all! The first of them is "no-nonsense workwear," here aptly demonstrated by Wai Lin. She apparently wears this outfit underneath a skydiving suit. It's casual but eyecatching, and it allows for great freedom of movement, culminating in a memorable motorcycle ride where she and Bond jointly control the bike while handcuffed together.
I think she has two different versions of the shirt, as the one she wears when dangling from the rope seems longer than the one seen in other shots. Probably to hide a harness.
