(Parts I and II (don’t worry, everyone already yelled at me re: “smoking unhealthy,” etc., and yes, whole post was probably just an excuse to run that pic of Lispector)).
I am SO fond of smoking, the habit and context of le cigarette. Happy to see it praised. And Lispector….ah, what can one say? Total aspect – genius writer, thinker, beauty, sigh.
I have not smoked for years, never really smoked I guess. When I did, I held it in a ivory carved cigarette holder. Just saying this makes me want to slap myself… it was always in a club with a drink in hand. And yes, the reason why? I thought it made me look sophisticated and cool. smh today.
Mention spéciale pour Clarice Lispector !!!

Indeed, coolness, but there’s the gasping for breath, “where’s my oxygen tank” bit at the end that’s sort of awkward…

My friend gave me a pipe and some pipe tobacco for my 30th birthday. It’s an enjoyable smoke every now and then.
