cigarette holder Costume Ideas

About cigarette holders

When smoking was fashionable, ladies wore their smoker's status like a badge of sexuality, accessorizing their cigarettes with the same amount of care that they applied their makeup and chose their apparel. Flappers of the 1920s were frequently seen between Charlestons and Lindys with their cigarette in a nearly foot-long holder, not allowing the cigarette itself to touch their perfectly-applied, red Clara Bow lips, but rather, resting in the end of the cigarette holder. Some were plain black and others were bejeweled, or customized to the owner's taste. In the days where men and women rolled their own handmade cigarettes, these were functional, as well as fashionable, helping to keep the cigarette intact while smoking.

Dressing up with a Cigarette Holder

The perfect accessory to a flapper costume or a movie star costume, a cigarette holder gives you a touch of class -- and maybe a smoker's rasp if you're sucking back on the real thing. This doubles as a great accessory for a movie star costume or as Norma Desmond from "Sunset Blvd.", a creepy washed-up movie queen who's ALWAYS ready for her closeup, Mr. DeMille!
