I’m going to a cabaret show tonight and I wanted to get in costume. I tried to make some fake cigarettes but now I’m worried I’ll these will make me look like a perverted vampire. What’s the consensus team?

… I don’t think anyone could mistake these for used tampons.
Maybe if they think you shove tampons up your urethra… and are of poor eyesight.

There once was a vampire named Mabel
Whose periods were really quite stable
And every full moon
She would get a spoon
And drink herself under the tableEhhhh they’ll pass but I’d have used orange.
Mottled with gray
Bluntsjoints dipped in ketchup.Blunts aren’t white, joints are.
Whoops!
Too different a form factor to ever think they might be tampons to me
…I don’t mean to be rude but like have you seen a tampon before?
Absolutely nothing like a used tampon.
I like that these candy sticks commonly used to be sold as candy cigarettes, only for people to be outraged and so the companies changed them to generic “sticks,” just for you to go and dip the tip in red (they used to do the same, add more yellow to your red) reinventing candy cigarettes.
Ceci n’est pas une cigarette.
Well. Damn. I’ve got two of those packs in my curio cabinet, thought they were modern remakes. Nope. They clearly say “candy”, “cigarette” isn’t on the package and there are no red tips.
Think how hilariously awful it was that we kids used to “smoke” those things! Fuck it, eating one of my packs now.
Lol I used to love those things too.
Fake cigarettes.
Don’t be shy. Go as a perverted vampire with real tampons and fake blood. Own it.
A gold or yellow wash should salvage them.
A mottled tan “filter” at the other end will also make them more cigarette-like.
I agree with others, much too red
a little orange would make them more like cigarettes, just saying
I am so confused.
If you had not dipped these in … food coloring, for some reason…?
… they, on their own, look fairly close to well rolled rollies.
A rollie is when you are broke and addicted to cigs, so you buy rolling papers and loose tobacco, and just roll up your own little cig, no filter.
… I… guess they kind of look like some kinds of onehitters I’ve seen? Early, silly e-cigs that were made to look like actual cigs?
Either way, I have no idea how these could be confused with tampons, they’re waay too small.
Also… cabaret? A vampire?
What do these intrinsically even have to do with cigarettes, or smoking?
… Are you stuffing them into like a 1920’s style stem type cigarette holder thing?
Are you going as a suffragette? A debutante?
I had those when I was a kid a few decades ago and they had the tip coloured in red. They were designed to look like fake cigarette, but in candy form, for kids. However because of anti tobacco movements, they renamed them to “candy sticks” and removed the red tip.
I think OP is trying to recreate the old ones.
EDIT:
yes
