Request for the masses (of the unusual variety)

Does anyone (perhaps theatre folks?) know where I can lay my hands on a cigarette tray? You know, as in the one that an attractively clad girl would have strapped to her while making her way through a loud, smoky night club, hawking cigarettes to the customers, as would have been done 40 or 50 years ago?

EDIT: Believe it or not, I'm asking ( Read more... )

theatre, help wanted

Is this for fun or profit ;-) I'd imagine it'd be easy to construct a reasonable replica, but have never seen one in real life.

They sell different sizes of shallow trays at craft stores. If you attach long ribbons, you can make reasonable cigarette girl style trays with those.

This place appears to rent cigarette girl costumes.

Not only 40 or 50 years ago, but even today.
I just spent a couple days in Vegas (work related symposium{more the first definition rather than the second} yeah, it sucks to be me {grin})

Imagine my surprise when I spotted one of the aforementioned attractively attired girls wandering about the casino hawking cancer sticks and cheroots to the assembled masses!

I saw one just last weekend... at Camp. Now all I gotta do is figure out *where*
