Smoking during the Golden Age was not only common, it was COOL. In The Connoisseur Thread and around the Lounge, there are many great ashtrays, smoking jackets, cigarette holders, cigar cutters and Art Deco Bars around people's homes.

What could be better than adding a 1941 Chesterfield Smoking Ad to your home or desk?

Here's the rules:
You must take a photo of yourself in a smoking environment looking COOL. Lounging, looking into the distance, feet up, dancing with that special someone with a cigarette in your hand are encouraged. Black and white photos are ok if you don't have matching items. Vintage clothing and an environment are NOT required. Looking cool with a smoking related item is, in a Film Noir-style environment. Don't have a cigarette? Use a straw or pipe cleaner instead; we'll never know unless it's a close up photo. This is a contest where Graphic Designers and Photographers can win over Vintage Clothing Enthusiasts. Post photos to this thread, and post questions HERE, do not PM me as my mailbox is almost full.

Due date: March 1, 2008

Judges:
*Vintage Betty
*Mingoslim
*Shearer

About these contests and giveaways:
Vintage Betty is NOT part of the Staff of the Fedora Lounge or even a Volunteer Bartender keeping things in order.

Please no resellers, these items are for your own use. Anyone may enter at no charge from anywhere in the world, unless otherwise posted.

Thanks, Vintage Betty!

I just wanted to add that in addition to the bribery items listed above I'll also accept cloche hats or a fine Viognier :D

March 1st isn't for a good while so I hope to see lots of pictures here!

Miss 1940's - love the first picture... the aloof housewife! What exactly are you drinking in the second photo? ;)

Cash is always lovely, but vintage lighters, cigarrette cases, and narrow ties will also garner my vote ;)

So com'on folks . . . Where are those contest bribes . . . er, ummm . . . I mean contest entries?
