As my colleague Miles Klee wrote previously, hitting someone with your breasts, distracting someone with them or squirting someone with breast milk can all be classified as various levels of assault throughout the world. Cindy Margolis, was a popular model both before and after her appearance in the film, even earning a spot in 1999 as the “Most Downloaded Woman” in the Guinness Book of World Records, but has remained rather quiet in the last decade or so.īut despite the relative obscurity of the Fembots actresses, they did demonstrate an entirely new way in which breasts could be used as a literal weapon, and there are many real-life cases that have suggested the same. ![]() Scott and Cynthia LaMontagne each enjoyed a smattering of small roles in movies and TV, modeling gigs and, in Moore’s case, a career as a ballroom dancer. The lead Fembot, Cheryl Bartel, passed away in 2010. Still, for whatever reason, not much came of the actresses who played the Fembots, at least relative to Myers or the other women who’ve shot people with their tits. But perhaps because The Tenth Victim is in Italian and from 1965, the Fembots of Austin Powers have held a much stronger place in our minds. Sofia Vergara wore a bra-gun in Machete Kills, and several singers like Lady Gaga and Katy Perry have repeated the concept in music videos. ![]() So by pulling the concept for Austin Powers, Myers wasn’t satirizing the film, but paying homage to it.

But in the scene below, their breasts reveal another trick: Not only can they shoot bullets, they can also release sleeping gas that knock(er)s Powers out. Ironically, in both outfits, we’re presented only with the idea of breasts, as they’re entirely concealed by metal or fur. When Powers first encounters them, they wear baby pink teddies trimmed with pastel faux fur. In the 1997 film, the Fembots are first introduced in silver, metallic bikinis, long white gloves, coiffed blonde hair and, at just the right moment, nipples that protrude to reveal themselves as gun barrels. But its most valuable contribution was something far more fearsome: Fembots with guns for boobs. It also transformed the already-beloved Mike Myers into an internationally recognized mega-star. For one, it parodied the spy genre to the edge of extinction, making euphemisms like “shag” and phrases like “Oh, behave!” part of the mainstream American lexicon. This is Big Moments in Big Naturals.Īustin Powers: International Man of Mystery was a film famous for a few key things. As MEL ‘s resident boob culture writer and a woman of breast-experience, I’ll be analyzing these objects and happenings, telling the stories of their origins and their impact on society. And while big-breastedness may be both spiritual and bodily, there is a material world and timeline of events that document how this culture came to be. They’re an energy, a culture, a lens through which we consume and create the world around us. Big naturals are more than just a body part. ![]()
