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'm not anti-smoking, but it's not for me, you know? That said, the HOTNESS. I don't know how it happens, but I know how it got millions of people hooked.

How so sexy smoking? I don't even know. And, it's not always, but sometimes, yeah. ~sighs~

I know, right? I've never been a big fan of smoking in person - the smoke clings to every fabric, it tastes horrible, and it's expensive. I was never so happy as when I lived in SLC, where EVERYWHERE is non-smoking.

But on the right person, in the right photo, it can be appealing...

Pretty much everywhere is non-smoking now--save for the bars.

I know I appreciate it because it's gotten to the point where I literally find myself having trouble breathing if I'm in a closed space with a chain-smoker or several smokers (so like, my family). :/

Still, I don't think that smokers should be treated like criminals either, which is the latest trend in my area. :( Bah.

And, yeah, the aesthetic is sometime (I'm looking at you Frank Iero) very appealing. :D
