The elegance of smoking



When I was a little girl I would hold a pencil between my fingers pretending it was a cigarette. There is something so refined with the image of smoking... That is not to say that I would ever promote smoking. No, smoking is hopefully soon a thing of the past everywhere. Still, these images of yesteryear make me long to hold a long cigarette in one hand and a cocktail glass in the other.



Frances Farmer



Nobody, nobody smokes like Marlene Dietrich!



Rita Hayworth in Gilda.



This feels straight out of Mad Men. And the tag line says it all, no? ;)
