Cigarettes After Sex

Fumar após o sexo tranformou-se numa espécie de contraordenação. Invocando o nome dos Cigarettes After Sex e convocando a campanha provocadora do IKEA, apetece-me brincar, alinhando combinações com as palavras “sexo” e “fumo”:
[Ontem] Sexo e fumo
[Hoje] Sexo sem fumo
[Amanhã] Nem sexo, nem fumo
[No inferno] Fumo sem sexo
Com 1,32 M de subscritores, i’m a cyborg but that’s ok edita canções dos Cigarretes After Sex acompanhando-as com cenas de filmes: Nothing’s Gonna Hurt You Baby, com Lost in Translation (2003); Affection, com Breathless (1960). Em ambos, sexo e fumo. No segundo, destaca-se Jean-Paul Belmondo, “l’acteur à la cigarrette par excellence”:

“Belmondo’s sexiness was connected – in a way that would now be problematic – to smoking. Stuck aggressively in his mouth, or insolently dangling, cigarettes emphasised his lips and made him look blasé and nonchalant – a look that a generation of young males would try to emulate”.
