I know. It's very uncouth these days to show smoking of all things. But one of my favorite belongings is this ashtray that I stole (yes, that's right, smoking and thievery!) from a hotel in India (below). I don't smoke, but I just loved it and had to have it. It now gathers my jewelry on my night table at the end of the day. I decided I would do my own lady version of it. I'm not sure what I will do with her: perhaps write a little book called the Girls Guide to Vice and put her on the cover. Or something like that. Do you think her forehead is too big? That's what she gets for smoking.
