Bond. The name brings to mind images of 007 and, for some, his drop-dead gorgeous "bond girls." But we are not talking about the world's favorite spy, though the "drop-dead gorgeous" part does comesintosplay. This "bond" is a classical string quartet made up of very sexy women.

　　Now while "sexy" and "classical string quartet" are not usually uttered in the same breath, the women of bond have made their name by combining the two concepts. Not only is the Anglo-Australian band making the headlines with their blend of classical and modern dance music, they are grabbing the public's attention with their skimpy tops and tight pants.

　　But the bond girls are certainly not the first to make classical music sexy. That ground was broken by Vanessa-Mae, a violinist of Thai-Chinese descent. Vanessa-Mae created a new style of music by combining classicalinstrumentals and contemporary pop; however, her stunning looks and barely-there costumes are also an important part of her act.




古典辣妹：悠扬乐音，狂野风情(1)
　　邦德。这个名字会让人想起007的身影，对一些人来说，还有他身边美艳夺目的"邦德女郎"。不过我们不是在谈论全世界最受欢迎的特工，虽然"美艳夺目"的确是其中重要的一环。这个"邦德"是由性感女子组成的一支古典弦乐四重奏--古典辣妹。

　　现在虽然"性感"和"古典弦乐四重奏"通常不会相提并论，但古典辣妹以结合这两种概念而成名。这个英澳混血的乐团，不仅因完美结合古典音乐和现代舞曲荣登头条，还以轻薄短小的贴身上衣和紧身裤吸引大众的注意力。

　　不过古典辣妹当然不是第一个将古典音乐性感化的乐手。首开先例的是陈美，一位中泰混血的小提琴家。陈美创造出一种新的乐风，结合了古典器乐曲和当代流行音乐；然而，她漂亮的外表和短小的服装也是她表演中的一个重要部分。
