Ha valaha valaki megkérdezné, hogy mitől jó nő Monica Bellucci, annak véletlenül se mondjátok el, mert vélhetően hülye!
Smoking.
“I believe that many who find that ‘nothing happens’ when they sit down, or kneel down, to a book of devotion, would find that the heart sings unbidden while they are working their way through a tough bit of theology with a pipe in their teeth and a pencil in their hand.”
- C.S. Lewis
“You might find that smoke blown out cleared your mind of shadows within. Anyway, it gives patience, to listen to error without anger.”
- J.R.R. Tolkien

"’ The trouble is that she is greatly under the influence of a pal of hers called Tolstoy. I’ve never met him, but he seems to have the most extraordinary ideas. You wont believe this, Jeeves, but he says that no one needs to smoke, as equal pleasure can be obtained by twirling the fingers. The man must be an ass. Imagine a posh public dinner - one of those “decorations will be worn” things. The royal toast has been drunk, strong men are licking their lips at the thought of cigars, and the toastmaster bellows “Gentlemen, you may twirl your fingers.” Don’t tell me there wouldn’t be a flat feeling, a sense of disappointment. Do you know anything about this fellow Tolstoy? You ever heard of him? ‘
’ Oh, yes, sir. He was a very famous Russian novelist. ‘"

from Madrigal History TourThe social side of music making: solo and part singing go well with drinking and smoking even unto the present day (although live music making by amateurs is sadly far rarer today).
smoking is bad for you but this photo is hot
I still am a Gentry style smoker bordering on the cusp of Woman and Twee since my little finger has a mind of it’s own and was the object of great consternation and a good deal of abuse by my former piano teacher Miss Mamie Middlebrook. I prefer to hold my drink and my cigarette together in the same hand with the other hand resting lightly upon my waist because I think it gives me a more balanced “I’m a little teapot” look and makes me appear visually more slim.More great ways to draw attention to yourself while hanging out at the coffee shop pretending you’re doing something important on your MacBook.
Someone’s a little grumpy today.
I used to be a Gentry style smoker back in my smoking days. Now I only smoke when I have a cocktail so I’ve taken up the Stealth pose. I guess that’s to hide the shame of my smokey wayward ways.
A little something that Miss Rittelmeyer might appreciate.
