I'm only sorry Sigmund Freud isn't alive to give the talk show circuit his ten cents worth. Sigmund, who spent his life studying women, men and hormones, would have loved the cigar phenomenon. The dark rooms, the musky smell, the guys in Armani, the women in Calvin, the specter of sex hanging over the proceedings, and the cigar, symbolic of all things phallic, in everyone's clutches. Talk about psych 101. She says the trend just echoes what is going on across the board with women breaking the glass ceiling, as the millennium approaches.
Women can go there, socialize, enjoy a cigar and relax.
If you're a woman, it seems designer clothes are de riguer. A pair of those spiky heels that went down the runway in New York this season would help too. Then flip through one of those glossy cigar magazines with Demi or Elle or Claudia on the cover to pick up the lingo when it comes to brands. The folks who distribute it swear the tape provides a step by step guide to give women confidence from the moment they open a humidor. Jane Fonda's workout tape it ain't.
