Lady Gaga Cigarette Glasses

Lady Gaga Cigarette Glasses
Want to be lady gaga this Halloween? One of the most interesting costume props in the lady gaga universe is the cigarette glasses featured in her "Telephone" video. The glasses she used are actually on fire, which will not be good for all night Halloween romps.

I decided to recreate the smoking effect, using cornstarch! These glasses will look cool and smoke all night long.

I used real cigarettes but they were messy and smelly. If i were going to do this again, i'd get some of these instead: Fake Cigarettes

instead of real smokes - which are $10/pack for premium brands, $8 for secondary market, and $25/carton off the reserve if you're in canada - you could buy the tubes and that little packing widget and, again, fill the tube with whatever will take it.

shredded mint, f.ex, for a menthol effect.

You could buy a packet of rolling papers, which are pennies as opposed to the fake cigarettes, then roll pretty much any material that'll roll like cotton wool or some such.

Sure, but getting them rolled evenly might be a real pain for someone who doesn't do it regularly. Easier to cough up $3 (or whatever they are now) for a pack.

ACK! Did I just recommend NOT MAKING something? Banish me!

$3? It's usually around 5 bucks a pack in my area!

Depends on the brand and the area. Big cities like Chicago charge you out the ass on taxes, so the more expensive brands, like Marlboro, are around $7 or $8.
But in the less urban areas, you can get cheap brands like Pall Mall or Mavericks for around $3 per pack, or $30 per carton (which is $1.5 per pack)

You can buy empty filtered cigarettes for really cheap.

I've seen several women on here re creating the tranny outfits of lady gaga, my question is, is she really that big of a star?

It looks like a bulb syringe for sucking the snot out of baby noses...
Oct 12, 2010. 9:15 AMBroom says:
Careful, Reynolds executives might be reading. Next thing you know, they'll offer pre-tobacco-filled baby nose syringes.

OK, but all the recent Lady Gaga 'ibles beg the (every pun intended...) burning question: what the hell is Lady Gaga planning to wear for Halloween?
Oct 12, 2010. 9:12 AMBroom says:
Jeans and a t-shirt.
