asimplechord | smoking is bad, kids

I had fic to beta-read and fic to write yesterday after I ran all my errands, but what did I do? I procrastinated. I read Heart Sick by Chelsea Cain and I went through my "unsorted pics" file. I found a bunch more of people in glasses and shades, and a fair number of people sucking on cancer sticks.

Hunter Thompson wouldn't say so, probably. Cigarettes are always in the background for his characters.

Hot pin-up girls and actresses like Rita Hayworth agree.

So does James Dean.

What does he know, though? He died young.

So did she. *waves*

I'm not even the world's biggest fan of Brad Pitt, but still.

Uh-huh.

His wife? lover? signficant other? agrees. Actually, I think she's more attractive, although I am not a passenger on the Brangelina Train of Hotness.

This guy? I'd ride *that* train. Cancer stick or not.

I don't watch LOST, but I'd consider it if Naveen Andrews smoked on the show.

What?

Yeah, that's what I thought.

I love a hot bath and a glass of wine. Apparently he likes 'em, too. eta: But with absinthe instead.

But you know, there's something about cigarettes (or other smoke-ables) and musicians.

Clapton named an album after them!

O.o What a waste.

There's a reason his voice sounds so gravelly and scratchy, folks.

I have a ridiculous number of Bowie + cigarette pics.

Some are art.

Most are not.

What? At least I limited it to four!

Bob Bryar what?

If Frank ashes in his hair, Bob'll dump him on his ass. He's been warned.

I think this was taken *after* one of the interviews where he said he'd quit. AGAIN.

Who does he think he's kidding?

Can we see a trend here?

Frank is never going to quit.

Too bad I couldn't find the gif of him sucking a cig down and then tossing it before he went on stage. There's something about him + Pansy...

Smoking + asshole shades. Oh, Frank.

Guh.

And his wife has excellent taste, as well. Except for the whole smoking thing.

There's nothing I can say.

Mostly I'm amused that the band needs a smoke break mid-set, and GWay *still* comes back with one in his hand.

Wut?

No, really, what?

One of the few pictures wherein I find Tom Conrad smoking hot. Literally. Mostly I think JWalk is prettier, but here? All Tomrad.

I'm not sure who's the bad influence here. I love how he's got his hand down, almost hiding the smoke, and Shane's right there in the background.

It's not just bandom band boys who look pretty in a cloud of smoke, it's the Gallaghers also.

<.<
>.>
Kat, if you don't quit that you'll end up like...

...this guy.

But that's okay. He's smoked so much dope that when he dies, we'll cremate him and smoke his remains, and the entire Western Hemisphere will be able to get high.

ETA:

I know he's said that he will quit. Perhaps he has already? So this might be a photomanip. Either way:

The rockstar of politicians and his tobacco addiction.

Got more? Spam me with them in the comments. I know somebody's got a HQ copy of that pic of Ray and Gerard smoking up, having a gossip fest behind a venue. (I couldn't find it - must be on the other computer.)

OK. Now I'm going to go to a baby shower. A couples baby shower. For MrIris's best friend. By myself, because MrIris had a stupid business trip. Yay.

Hopefully when I get home I'll feel inspired to write notskeezygabe fic.

Happy Sunday to you all!

I have nothing to add, but I think I'm gonna stalk this post and see what everyone else comes up with in the comments *g*

Also, Naveen Andrews is fucking HOT, seriously. GUH. He was a good reason to watch LOST even though I was over the storylines. Or the lack thereof.

And I'm apparently a liar. While you are having fun attending a singles baby shower alone, I should be working on BR or working on my A&P homework. Instead, I'm watching Swing Vote with Mom and searching my hotness folders for smoking hot bandboys to share with you. haha. (although, I can totally consider this to be semi-research for BR, right?)

GeeWay's hothot wife:

Gerard:

I wonder how much she's hating it now, when she shouldn't be smoking while she's pregnant...

Idk, that sucks for her. I know several people who didn't give it up when they were pregnant, despite how bad it is. (then again, I know people who've done worse) And I know someone who didn't give it up with her first one, but the second time around one of her morning-sickness triggers was cigarette smoke so she kinda had no choice.

Maybe G quit too, for support and b/c it'll be better for BabyWay in the long run?

IDK. I know so few people who smoke anymore, other than one if we're out at a bar - and not even that so much since Houston is non-smoking now - that it hasn't been a big deal with any of the pregnant women I've known. Some of them still drink alcohol and coffee, but they limit their intake. And honestly? Dow (in Texas, not corporate up in Michigan) does random drug tests; if you aren't there to pee in the cup inside 20 minutes, you automatically get suspended without pay for two weeks. So most of them are not doing anything harder than cigarettes.

Hee, if they did, I can imagine the pair of them counting days til birth, excited for the baby also wanting a cigarette SO BAD.

The attitude here is a lot different. I hate to see pregnant women smoking and drinking and other stuff while they're pregnant -- I had someone tell me once that she was so nauseous all the time when she was pregnant that she smoked pot in order to calm the nausea enough to eat, wtf -- but I hate even more to see people smoking while holding an infant. I know someone who used to smoke while she was nursing, and there are times when I've gone to pick up Rachel from her grandma's & the smell of cigarette smoke on her clothes/hair/carseat was enough to make me gag. Blech.

Bob:

Frank:

You know I've seen that Frank pic a bajillion times, and always focus on the I ♥ Gerard and eyebrow, and miss the butt in his hand.

lol. i know what you mean. but it's there! I just happened to notice it when I was skimming through pics.

Random other MCR-ish peoples

Oh thank you thank you thank you for the VickyT goodness. Secks!

Love.

VickyT is HOT, but she's also lovely and adorkable. *hearts*

YESSSS! You are my FAVORITE! I was wondering why I didn't have ANY pictures of Johnson smoking, because he and Cash are the Cab babies I've seen smoking EVERY TIME I've seen them!

I KNOW! I saw the two of them smoking, there is a sad lack of photographic evidence of it.

LOOK WHAT I FOUND WHEN I WENT TO MY OLD DESKTOP COMPUTER!

CASH!

hahaha, OH CASH! :P

And two more pictures I stumbled across and wanted to share with you b/c they amuse me.

(the girl I snagged this from had it saved as "whyisthesleepingbagwet", but I really wanna know what's up with the handful of cash...)

(look at their little bare feet, omg! I know you hate feet, but still!)

Beckett in his bandana phase! :D

(Jon in his rentboy phase.)

Edited 2009-01-26 01:21 (UTC)

Bare feet, H, BARE FEET!! So ridiculously cute!

(I am so amused by that pic, and by contemplating the various possible stories behind it, lol)

You can even see the tan lines (I hope they're tan lines, and not just dirty feet) from his flip flops!

haha, i hope they're tan lines. probably, b/c there are a bunch of pics with those guys wearing flip flops instead of proper shoes.

~~I think the money in his hand? Is directly related to the wet spots on the sleeping bag. Just sayin'.~~

it totally is. Although I totally wanna think it was something involved in a drunken dare, I could go for the possibility that it's something else, like Jon being lured to the hotel room of someone by miscommunication (Jon's a little under the influence, okay?) and then he realizes they think he's a prostitute and ends up setting off the fire alarm/sprinklers to escape, but he's still got the money! yeah, idk. :P
