I Know It's Wrong (But It Looks So Right): Women Who Shoot, Men Who Smoke

Posted on 17:13 by Unknown
I admit I am a victim of Old Hollywood's sales pitch for evil. I fall for sin every time. I hate guns in real life and I hate cigarettes in real life, but in Reel Life, man - do they look sexy!

Girls With Guns
Joan looks very comfortable with these
Seems like overkill, but Louise handles them well
I'll bet Barbara could really shoot!
Ann only shoots for food (in her skivvies)


Bette looks mighty natural with a pistol

Carole obviously takes pleasure in firing off a round or two
As does Doris (though I suspect she will only shoot humans, not animals)
Kate: a straight shooter if there ever was one
Probably a Givenchy water pistol
Men Who Smoke
Cary: Smooth and Satisfying
Rudy: Smoldering Italian (Part 1)
Marcello: Smoldering Italian (Part 2)

Bob: Authentic American Blend (with a hint of wacky tabacky)

Charles: Unfiltered French
Errol: Bold western brand by way of Australia and Tasmania
I'd walk a mile for Bill...
Steve: Come all the way up to Cool
It's wrong! It's wrong! It's wrong! Thank goodness we know better and we are healthier. Forgive me, but, damn they look so sexy.
Cigar smokers can be sexy,too
