As she continues to move through the famous 1961 film she leaves a trace of smoke wherever she goes. Now lets think about women like Edie Sedgwick, Mae West and Marilyn Monroe. They were all icons ... and all smokers. The bottom line — smoking is sexy, and it always has been. . . . As for myself, a girl who has only smoked a handful of cigs in her life, I know I feel significantly cooler when I smoke. Make fun of me for feeling that way, but I know you do, too. What really gives me the urge to light up, however, is the fact that smoking has recently shown up on the runway. Jean Paul Gaultier, chief designer for the House of Hermes, broke all of the rules in March at a Hermes fashion show when he sent models down the runway with lit cigarettes in hand.

The catwalk beauty is rarely seen without a cigarette in her hand and despite the health risks, she is determined not to give up. She says, "It's who I am. I don't want to create a phony facade. I think I just have to be myself, otherwise I'd just be a paranoid mess."

I started smoking at 18. I love roll-ups. I smoke in the evenings when my kids are in bed. It's a wind-down thing. Drugs seem to turn people into paranoid bores. Why would anyone want to go there?

For instance, the photo caption calls this “a creation,” but to me, it just looks like some chick having a butt. Is smoking a cigarette with black gloves and red lipstick the creative part, or what? Was this lady supposed to stop and light up on the runway, because I have to say that will make fashion shows pretty tedious. Perhaps the designer should have looked for a slightly less addicted model?

Saint Laurent, 71, died Sunday night at his Paris home after a yearlong battle with brain cancer, said Pierre Berge, Saint Laurent's close friend and business partner for four decades. . . . Saint Laurent's simple navy blue pea coat over white pants, which the designer first showed in 1962, was one of his hallmarks. His "smoking," or tuxedo jacket, of 1966 remade the tux as a high fashion statement for both sexes. It remained the designer's trademark item and was updated yearly until he retired.

For the Rampling shoot, which was done in a Paris hotel suite, Mr. Teller thought it made sense for him to be in the ads, since he and the actress were friends and she didn’t want to endorse a product. . . . I said, ‘I’m going to show you what I’m going to wear.’ So I went into the bedroom, and I came out in these silver underpants. And she said, ‘What the hell is that?’ ” At this point, as Ms. Rampling howled, Mr. Teller said, he was having grave doubts about the rest of his plan. “I was smoking my cigarette, breaking out in a sweat. I said, ‘Well, I was just thinking I could kiss you and fondle your breasts.’ “She sat down and got herself a cigarillo. She didn’t say anything. The whole room was quiet for what seemed like months. I was, like, Oh my God, that is the most stupid thing I’ve ever said, how stupid was that? She just dragged on the cigarillo and crossed her legs, and she said: ‘O.K., let’s go. I’ll tell you when to stop.’ I thought, Oh my God, genius. I can’t believe I’m getting away with it.” New York Times Thu, 10 Apr 2008 04:00:00 GMT http://perezhilton.com/2008-03-24-smoking-not-sexy http://tobacco.org/news/261906.html Soon-to-retire model Kate Moss is on the cover of the new issue of French Vogue, for the second time in a handful of months. Smoking causes cancer. Why do people feel the need to glamorize it???? PerezHilton.com perez@perezhilton.com France Mon, 24 Mar 2008 04:00:00 GMT http://www.nydailynews.com/opinions/2008/03/08/2008-03-08_voice_of_the_people_for_march_8_2008.html?page=1 http://tobacco.org/news/261120.html Tobacco companies are aggressively targeting women and girls, and your recent article played right into their marketing ("Smokin' style," March 3). The illustrations promoted the idea that smoking is part of a fashionable image, which will inevitably recruit youthful new smokers. Perpetuating the idea of smoking as a style accessory, especially for women, ignores the severity of tobacco addiction and its harmful health effects. . . . The article may have been a satire, but there is nothing funny about tobacco-related diseases. New York Daily News Sat, 08 Mar 2008 05:00:00 GMT http://www.nydailynews.com/opinions/2008/03/05/2008-03-05_voice_of_the_people.html http://tobacco.org/news/261113.html In Monday's edition of the Daily News, first you come across a picture of Katherine Heigl having a fine time puffing on a cigarette. Then a feature on how to dress warmly and still be chic while standing outside smoking. The article has pictures of twentysomethings, all smiling and smoking. I don't think the cigarette companies need The News to shill to young people for them. New York Daily News Wed, 05 Mar 2008 05:00:00 GMT http://www.nydailynews.com/lifestyle/2008/03/03/2008-03-03_smokin_style_designs_for_puffin_and_chil.html http://tobacco.org/news/261111.html It's terrible for your health and makes people near you flee. But even frightful weather can't keep New Yorkers who crave a cigarette from hitting the streets, plastering themselves into corners and under overhangs or scouring the city for a spot the weather can't quite reach. Last week alone, smokers braved ice, wind and rain for a nip of nicotine. The result: some pretty crazy outfits. . . . We commissioned three designers to create a happy medium. Chris Han used smoke as the inspiration for her charcoal-hued ensemble. Bling-friendly downtown team Phillipe and David Blond created a corseted climate-control body suit. Stylist Kendall Sparks sketched stiletto Wellington boots with built-in ashtrays. New York Daily News Mon, 03 Mar 2008 05:00:00 GMT http://www.fashionwiredaily.com/first_word/fashion/article.weml?id=1841 http://tobacco.org/news/260899.html Gypsies and luxury don't seem like the likeliest of couples, but they teamed up brilliantly at the latest collection by Hermes, a tour de force by the label's designer Jean-Paul Gaultier. Staged Saturday on a Slavonic carpet and with Romany music gurgling out of the soundtrack, the show featured a marriage of haute gamme hippie and the unique ability of the Hermes atelier to create products of exceptional quality. . . . Gaultier's vision of Hermes is very much uptown, but not uptight - one model even walked down the catwalk clutching a lit cigarette, which is possibly illegal under new French anti-smoking laws, but looked just right. Fashion Wire Daily France Mon, 03 Mar 2008 05:00:00 GMT http://www.styledash.com/2008/03/04/is-smoking-on-the-runway-a-do-or-a-dont/ http://tobacco.org/news/260898.html Jean Paul Gaultier must have wanted to go for the shock effect because he sent a model down the runway smoking a cigarette during Monday's Hermes show. I guess that's what happens if the clothes on their own are not interesting enough to get people talking. Really, I do understand the look he was going for. The model was dressed in a mature, elegant coat and belt combo. Jean Paul probably thought that the cigarette would add sophistication. But, c'mon! In this day and age we know better. I thought we had moved beyond the whole idea that smoking is glamorous Styledash.com France Tue, 04 Mar 2008 05:00:00 GMT http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/lifestyle/2008-02/22/content_6477151.htm http://tobacco.org/news/260651.html So it's little wonder Stefano Pilati - creative director of Yves Saint Laurent - chose Kate Moss to appear in the fashion house's spring/summer advertising campaign. . . . There is the added confusion created as Kate - seen without undergarments but wearing one of YSL's famously androgynous "le smoking" suits - appears to be holding an invisible cigarette. Is this a reference to the smoking ban? China Daily Fri, 22 Feb 2008 05:00:00 GMT
