I completely missed the era where VS 120s were popular cigarettes among young girls. Thanks for the memories.

: In this brave new world of
: 2012, it's become
: increasingly more
: difficult to score a
: truly memorable
: sighting. They're still
: out there, sure - but
: high prices, smoking
: bans, and the general
: public attitude of
: "smokers = white
: trash outlaws" have
: made what used to be a
: commonplace thrill into
: something akin to
: locating the proverbial
: needle in a haystack.
: I remember high school,
: the glory days. Class of
: '86. I was dating a very
: cute brunette who was
: quite a heavy Marlboro
: Lights smoker. But the
: grass is always
: greener.....
: She had an utterly
: adorable friend named
: Molly, an ultra-petite
: 15-year-old blonde who
: smoked VS Lights like a
: movie star. Long, deep
: drags, long holds, the
: occasional French inhale
: that were so natural I'm
: not sure she was even
: aware she was doing it.
: There was Kirsten &
: Lisa, sisters who
: enjoyed VS Menthols.
: Kirsten was the younger,
: with wavy auburn hair
: & a very nice body.
: Lisa was a year older;
: short, dark hair &
: slightly taller with a
: more athletic build. We
: (my girlfriend & I)
: visited their house a
: few times, and it was
: clear that smoking by
: the girls wasn't
: forbidden. Once we all
: sat down at the kitchen
: table while their Mom
: was making dinner, and
: they both lit up as
: casually as I would
: after walking into my
: neighborhood bar. Mom
: smoked B&H Menthols, so
: they didn't stray too
: far from her footsteps.
: And then there was
: Brannon. Oh, Brannon.
: Cheerleader supreme.
: Slender, stunning body.
: Long, curly,
: dirty-blonde hair. Hazel
: eyes. Fine features that
: any classic sculptor
: would kill to capture.
: She favored tight jeans
: with low heels, and
: there was one particular
: off-the-shoulder top
: that I can still picture
: in my mind's eye 25
: years later. Brannon,
: like Molly (and
: countless other beauties
: of the era) smoked VS
: Lights. But when VS 120s
: were introduced, she
: quickly switched. I
: overheard a bit of
: conversation once in the
: parking lot after
: school. Someone
: commented on "that
: huge cigarette" she
: had just lit.
: "Well, they're
: longer, so I don't smoke
: as many. I was up to,
: you know, like, two
: packs a day."
: Yeah, I miss the 80's.
