The dirty yellowed filters smashed up in the ashtrays looked pretty, all right!

Ah yes, the ever popular "make it pink so the dumb wimmins will buy 'em" marketing plan...

I remember these. I think my mother smoked them at one point. I've always thought the art on the carton was pretty and I like the "eve" font.

Doesn't change the fact it's a nasty cig, though.

The ad copy is amusing me. "For the lady with taste. Also with menthol."

The aesthetic is very similar to the original Clairol Herbal Essence shampoo art. I loved that stuff. It smelled a lot bettr than Eve cigarettes, too.

yum! herbal Essence. In the summer I would wash my hair outside in the backyard using the garden hose, I wanted that untamed in-the-wild-experience. I was 9!

That's so romantic!

They brought back the old shampoo for a while, but never the conditioner. What's the point of the nice herby shampoo when you end up with the fruity-stinky conditioner? The herbs really smell clean and fresh to me.

Well, now that my aesthetic concerns have been dealt with, I guess I'm free to take up smoking.

When they x-ray your lungs, does the cancer look pretty too?

You're guaranteed to cough up glitter and rose petals.

That is pretty. I bet it tastes like crap though, like most cigarettes that are marketed to women.

that looks like the package of incense cones my parents kept in the junk drawer.
