Check out this Louis Vuitton Purse Lighter. It's a miniature purse replica that you can use as a lighter when you make it stand on its side.

I think it's really ugly. At the same time, it would be pretty cool to use one of these...just for the sake of having something this ugly. So that makes this LV purse lighter ugly-cool.

The Louis Vuitton Purse Lighter retails for $7.99

Fashion party with Davidoff cigarettes

2008-08-28T07:40:00.000-07:00

The preview party to Australian Fashion Week is being called a ‘disgrace’ by anti-smoking campaigners, as packets of Davidoff cigarettes were given to all as ‘complimentary’ gifts.

Commenting on the incident Australian Medical Association president Mukesh Haikerwal said:

It’s a disgraceful state of affairs when free cigarettes are given out at any event. There are people in the fashion industry who are very skinny and smoking sends the message that you need to smoke to be thin. It’s a very bad message. Smoking is the No. 1 cause of preventable deaths in this country and this sets an appalling example - for young women in particular.

The Health Department has announced that it will investigate the case for tobacco promotion, and check if it breached the Public Health Act under which, promoting a tobacco product by giving away free samples is a crime for which the penalty can range from a $5500 to $20,000.

Davidoff cigarettes are manufactured in Germany by the Imperial Tobacco Group. Davidoff brand manager Greg Moses said that the promotion was the first ever in Australia. Mr Moses refused to confirm any plans of similar promotional acts during Australian Fashion Week.

An unnamed event organiser revealed that the cigarettes were provided as free samples to all the guests through an association with Belvedere Vodka, which had set up a bar at the event, because advertising or promoting smoking is banned in Australia.

About a month ago in the magazine “New-York” appeared a declaration of one restaurant workers: “I saw how Nicole smoked when she leaved the restaurant “DaSilvano” together with 2 women. She looked around her, such as she was scared that somebody can see her. Then, they got into a black Cadillac, and Nicole continued to smoke.”

Lucia – cigarettes without smoke

2008-06-25T05:57:00.000-07:00

Now, super modern Japanese technology is represented even… in a simple tobacco kiosk।

Consumers market is flooded with products which don’t look as they are presented. For example, milk without grease, coffee without caffeine, beer without alcohol, ham without pork, meal without meal.

Phenomenon which was considered experimental, little by little transformed in a positive tendency, which cultivated self-delusion for consumers – it is demonstrated that milk together with grease loses half of the useful proprieties.

Japanese corporation “Japan Tobacco” has found correctly the way to combine 2 different groups – smokers and non-smokers. As it turned out both smokers and non-smokers hate the smoke. Really, the cigarette can call positive emotions and to be an (unconscious) necessity.

I think that you don’t like the hair and clothes which became permeated with the smell of smoke. The time passed when the smell of smoke was considered the sign of the male virtue and women’s independence.

Japan Tobacco has spent 6 years for including the brand Lucia in the list of “new” values. The external design of the cigarettes Lucia has quite a number of accents: the color – neutral white, the shape – classic.

This isn’t designer’s “chips”, but the necessity for experts who are convinced that the bright package attracts people who are too young and incapable enough to think about their health. Lucia – cigarettes for experienced ones.

The smoke of cigarettes Lucia doesn’t provoke the surroundings. The intensity of tobacco’s smell has become weak at the expense of the double-layer cigarettes’ paper which absorbs harmful substances and citrus microcapsules which are introduced in the tobacco structure.

Formulation LSS – LessSmoke Smell – is available for advanced only in High Technology Zone and for Japanese। It is impossible to counterfeit this kind of cigarettes। Cigarettes “Lucia” are produced in Japan only. The taste of cigarettes Lucia is menthol with light note of citrus.

The cigarettes “Lucia” is appreciated not only by women but also by men who take care of the comfort of dearest people। In Japan, cigarettes “Lucia” are bought by representatives of both genres, that’s why the cigarettes “Lucia” work up the market twice quicker that other cigarette brands.

In April, the editorial "Hollywood Dreams" posted on its main page the most popular model Flavia Oliveira. Flavia looks very well and she held in one’s hand a colorful cigarette.

This kind of cigarettes looks very authentically. They related to us that it’s summer and the sun is shining.

In addition, these cigarettes come in different colors as: pink, green, super skinny. These colors make the Mat Sherman rainbow cigarettes more fashionable that usual. Women like living colors, especially when these colors are combining perfectly with their dresses, shoes, purses and so on.

Do you like these kinds of cigarettes?

I like them. They are so unusual and fashionable. In general, people get into the way of white cigarettes, but I think that colorful cigarettes will bring in cigarettes industry a new direction, a fashionable trend.

I suppose that the women will like colorful cigarettes, because they correspond to fashion standard, I mean that they are fashionable themselves.

So, do you agree with this new cigarette look or write please, how do you see a new cigarettes brand. How should they be?

Cigarettes

2008-02-22T07:55:00.000-08:00

Cigarettes are among the most vended products in the world and tobacco business – the most profitable in the world.

The first cigarettes were invented by American Indian. They began to wrap tobacco in straws, cane or corn leaf. In Europe cigarettes distribution began after Crimean war. Russian and Turkish soldiers began to smoke cigarettes by wrapping tobacco in paper sleeve from powder. This practice was done by English soldiers too. The first cigarettes factory in Europe was built in London.

At the end of nineteenth century, in USA was created a machine for cigarettes production. As a result, cigarettes began to be produced in large quantities. For cigarettes production was used the tobacco of new “light” sorts.

Cigarettes obtained their popularity among smokers very quickly, because to smoke cigarettes or pipes they had to spend a lot of time in satisfactory conditions. And that was not always possible. The fist cigarettes weren’t provided with filters and they looked similarly as pipes.

For American cigarettes production, there were used the rests from other tobacco products. Cigarettes paper is made of flax fibber and contains calcium carbonate. This substance possesses a bleaching effect.
The first cigarettes with asbestos filter were made in England. These were cigarettes of famous brand “Kent”. After that, modern sorts of filters were produced, thanks to competition.

Later, cigarettes with filter have appeared where menthol was added.
The filter is situated at the end of cigarettes and it doesn’t let through in human body the smoke moisture, gum, nicotine, suspended particles of smoke and other detrimental impurities. Usually, the filter is created from secondary cellulose acetate.
To make the filter better, tobacco companies extended its length, reduced the diameter of fibers, and added to fibers diverse substances, as example, activated carbon. Thanks to its utilization, the filter detains an important part of carbon monoxide, cyanides hydrogen and benzene.

Modern analysis demonstrates that it is possible to reduce totally the deleterious effect of nicotine if it is used green tea in filter content. Sometime, there are added aromatic additives in cigarettes to improve the taste of cigarettes.
Cigarettes of different brands have different taste, different strength. This properties depend on many conditions – sorts and correlation of different sorts of tobacco, aromatic additives and sweetening, quality of filter, the degree of packing and air permeability of cigarettes paper.

Also, it is used botanical tobacco for cigarettes production.

To this botanical tobacco is added in certain proportions the marketable tobacco. Price of cigarettes depends on quality of tobacco sorts. To make the taste better, on the whole leaf of tobacco are applied sweetening and aromatizes.

2008-01-23T01:22:00.000-08:00

Lighter "zippo" is the most popular lighter in the world, because it has an original design, characteristic sizzle when opening, metallic body, original series of images on their case and about seventy three years of history.

But these arguments aren’t so important. Lighter "Zippo" lights from the very first strike, even if there is wind. That’s why the owners of lighter "Zippo" never leave them during many years.

History of lighter "Zippo"

It all started in 1932 year. During of Great Depression, in American state "Pennsylvania" in oil industry city "Branford", in usual villager club, came to dance someone with the name "George Blasdell".

He was the owner of a small company that manufactured ordinary refinery equipments. The dancing, boring discussions about politics soon annoyed him and he went out to smoke cigarettes on the porch of the club and he saw his friend "Dike Dresser", who tried to open the cover from his old and shabby lighter.

Dike was sufficiently financially independent man and George was surprised "Why wouldn’t you buy a finer lighter?" Dike finally pulled off cover of the lighter and stroked the wheel.

"Because this lighter works!" – responded Dike. George suddenly thought "Lighter! This is the thing that is necessary for all people, no matter what their income is.." From that moment George had this idea of making quality lighters affordable to everybody..

The first lighter was created in 1932 year. The main and base characteristic of that lighter was that it flame never went out when there was windy and second characteristic, not unimportant, was its safety.

One of the first TV commercial said the following thing "Gift that will be remembered as many times as you light up a Zippo".

During o60 years of existence, this lighters basically didnt change at all and this fact proves their attractivity to million of consumers and collectors.

Stability of construction – the main principle of George Blasdell. "As long as I live the lighter construction and the form will never change as principle" – he stated. And really, why change something if it is so perfect.

With the lighter "Zippo" you can follow up the history of America. That explains the big interest of many collectors for this brand of lighters. Military lighter "Black Crackle" was covered with black enamel, in years of the Second World War. It helped to survive for many soldiers, the series "Nasa" was dedicated to space flights; celebrities and sportsmen’s, all these people and events are reflected on the design of this popular lighter.

FASHION is not about clothes

2007-12-24T04:09:00.000-08:00

Particularly now, though, when the tentacles of fashion reach out globally, coiling around fat new markets like China or India or Russia, places marooned from global markets for decades, twining into traditionally style-resistant spheres like business and art, you can begin to make out how culture is shaped by a system of which dressmakers are just a small part.

A good example of this came during the recent New York shows when the Heatherette designers, Richie Rich and Traver Rains, ended their otherwise forgettable runway presentation with a scary "Little Miss Sunshine" moment.

It is old theoretical news that childhood, or anyway innocent childhood, is an invention, developed largely from humanist ideas advanced in the 16th and 17th centuries.

"It is important as a fashion industry to show our interest and see what we can do because we are in a business of image," say Diane Von Furstenberg, the president of the Council of Fashion Designers of America.
