FashionForAshes: No Smoking

No Smoking

"Me, I don't smoke. Smoking can be a beautiful gesture for a picture. But it's easy - it's too easy - to make a beautiful picture with a beautiful girl smoking a cigarette. And what is the picture saying, when you have a beautiful girl and she has a beautiful outfit and a beautiful handbag, and a cigarette? No. We have to find a new gesture, I think. Because smoking, it is not good for you. Or for your teeth."
-Carine Roitfeld

i completely agree with her and yet i am so guilty of lusting over the exact imagery she described: a pretty girl and a cigarette. i don't spoke and i don't want to smoke but i almost feel like i have to. its tough and unfortunate.
