Suggestion: Smoking Is Glamorous

I'll withold a vote due to length concerns - tht is way too much for me to look at.

Aww okay. Ill end it.

I'm already voting, using multiple phones and screens makes it a lot easier you see.

Is the crowner really that long, should I just make another one?

I'll wait for the runoff vote.

I can understand stopping it due to length concerns, but it's a pity 42.3 won't get a chance—it's the iconic picture of one of the greatest stars the film industry has ever seen.

It's not even there... hm, shame.

40 vote options? This might have set some sort of record...

Anyway, I only gave votes to the suggestions from the first page, and can't be bothered to check out the rest.

Good grief, this is overkill. That said, I've added the Greta Garbo pic from 42.3...how that got overlooked and some of these others made it in is puzzling.

I simply went in order of thread posted, like with any other crowner I make.

I'm glad somebody told me to cease and desist, I would have added them all for archival purposes.

PS: my votes are in.

It is overkill but that's what a crowner's like, right? Takes all suggestions and puts them up to vote. Just this one was weird because for once we had a whole bunch of options to choose from. Do it the easy way, blame Paktra for absolutely everything even if it wasn't his fault (but it really is his fault we have twice as many as we would, usually applausable but this is crippled by choices) and have a run off after this one is done (yknow, if we need one.)

Also, I'm incredibly pissed that none of the male options are remotely in contention, for whatever reason glamour applies only to women from the 1910s-1950s.

Uh, while I see some advantage in a large crowner vote choice, there is no need to get tetchy.

I'm a bit surprised none of the Rat Pack by themselves or as a group made it.

Might just be me but that's immediately who I think of when it comes to glamorous smoking

Why the really obvious choices got voted down fast, I find odd....

Edit: But I got the implication that those were the preferred images to crown, based on positive thread responses.

Limited choices, people will not wade through a lot of options.

That and they don't convey what I picture "glamourous" to be.

You could have just told me what you wanted before I crowned it but oh nevermind.

It was an open thing and I said I'd do it for y'all.

Wait, why is 13.1 in this crowner? That's pretty NSFW if you ask me and is barely glamorous and more porny than anything.

That doesn't show nipples, although it's annoyingly breast-y for my taste. Voting that down.

I voted it down too, but I told you I was trying to add everything to be fair.

40 images was barely half of what I really had.

Would it work for Absolute Cleavage?

I asked the rest of the staff about possibly replacing that one a coupla months back and they were good with the current (especially Eddie) so let's not mess with that one.

Well what about the sistertrope Cleavage Window? I should have been more specific, sorry.

It's not a good image for that either, I really don't understand your fascination with getting it used (boobs aside).

I wasnt pushing to use it. I was just curious. Image aside, I was just wanting validation for my input, so I didn't feel like I just wasted a space in the crowner. Is that so wrong or against the bylaws here?

I want to make the most of everything I suggest, for the IP's sake.

EDIT: If youI feel that strongly about it, I can just take it off the crowner. No sweat off my brow.

You did suggest a lot of images in general across this whole IP thread and you did suggest two tropes you thought it'd be okay for though it seemed clear people didn't like it what with it being overly boob-y and they weren't even the focus. I can't remove the option anyway, something weird about editing it to say something amounting to "yeah, this option is invalid now" when it has votes attached.

Your input is of course valid but there's such thing as overreaching.

You have a point, alright I'll try to hold back my "overachiever who wants to please everybody-ness" for now. My apologies.

And yes it's been made clear that the image was not preferred by several of you, but that was after I already added it.

Does anybody else you have a problem if I just went ahead and removed it from the list?

I mean it already it got shot down so... Or should I just wait for the runoff Crowder to commence, and only add the highest voted images?

Yeah, mind if I abstain before it looks like I'm trying to cause trouble?
