Smoking, as we now know it, is addictive and not very cool and results in many well-known problems. In order to offer an alternative to the old-time perception of looking COOL while smoking, how about looking FUNNY and winning this vintage Claudette Colbert VICTORY Chesterfield Smoking Ad?

What could be better than adding this gorgeous Claudette Colbert Ad to your home or desk?

Here's the rules:
You must take a photo of yourself in a smoking environment looking FUNNY while substituting something instead of a cigarette or cigar. Plastic Chickens, Kitchen Items, and other funny things encouraged. Making me laugh out loud is highly encouraged. Black and white photos are ok if you don't have matching items. Vintage clothing and an environment are NOT required. Looking very funny with a non-smoking related item is while pretending to be smoking is. Funniest photo wins. 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
*To be announced

I always love Miss 1940's pictures. I would love to see her do a similar picture with something goofy replacing the coffin nail.

Sincerely,
The Wolf

Yup, so would I. Than she would qualify to be entered for the prize. ;)

Until that little bit of tabbaco gets changed to something else in this specific picture in this thread, the picture is not qualifed. :(

However, in the other contest, everything is fine and she is qualified and ready to go!

It is neat. I am not sure if Claudette is a blood relation or not. My cousin traced both my mom's side of the family and his father's.

Oops! I forgot to introduce our great judges Mr. Mingoslim and the lovely Miss Shearer.

Now let's see...7000+ Fedora Lounge members = no entries?

Vintage Betty is sad. Boo-hoo.

Don't fret Vintage Betty, I'm working on mine. Like NoirDame, I've been under the weather and just haven't had the gumption to set up the photo shoot.

That's it! :eusa_clap

I'm hoping Miss 1940's would consider entering again, and when do we get to see all those other entries I keep hearing about? [huh]
