"Cigarette girl refers to a person that sells or provides cigarettes from a tray held by a neck strap. They may also carry cigars, and many novelty items like lighted roses, lighted jewelry, and lighted yoyo's on their trays. The most common uniform is a red and black old saloon style above the knee dress but you will find many in different colors and styles. Another title for a cigarette girl is candy girl. There are still some casinos and other night club establishments that use cigarette girls today."

I have in my early childhood memory a certain "Tiparillo Girl" dressed like a Playboy bunny, and I recall my father's grin and my mother's grimace.

What was the last word of the line they'd say? Was it "Cigars? Cigarettes? Tiparillos?" or "Cigars? Cigarettes? Cigarillos?"

Thanks zuze - it sure is nice when someone else checks Wikipedia for you!
Can you believe I'd never heard of Tiparillos, either?

Ha. Sorry--I just thought that definition was hilarious (especially the part about the neck strap).

Well I suppose it's preferable to a jock strap.

How else, other than a neck strap, to support an expansive, horizontal, below-the-bust horizontal tray filled with goodies, other than a neck strap affixed to the leading corners?

Um... some sort of modified fanny pack?

What's with all the 'lighted' novelty items?

yarb commented on the word cigarette girl
I guess because they work in gloomy places - clubs, movie theatres, etc?

Lighted novelty items are a regretably kitschy modern addition to the traditional cigarette girl's tray.
