I'm going to a cabaret show tonight and I wanted to get in costume. I tried to make some fake cigarettes but now I'm worried I'll these will make me look like a perverted vampire. What's the consensus team?

I'm guessing you've never seen a used tampon because that is not what they look like.

Mmmm....I'm pretty sure one gently dabs the end of a tampon to soak up a drop of blood at a time. That's why women use so many, right?

/NASA scientist, nodding.

Those would be ultra super lights.. about 15 minutes of use.

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 39 points 2 days ago (1 children)

True. But OP hasn't seen a burning cigarette either.

(Which is good!)

I don’t think they’ve ever seen a lit cigarette either.

Wrapped in toilet paper after use, kinda. Women always try to hide the good treats in paper, but my dog’s superior nose and teeth overcome such paltry obstacles to absolutely fucking destroy my rugs and sanity, and equally harm their own digestive tract.

lol, the reason I'm asking Lemmy isn't because I haven't seen either of these things, it's to gauge how others might interpret it.

I'd say they're fine, but if you have some yellow dye it could give a more orange color that I associate with cigs.

Unless you expect yellow lighting then you are genius.
