Pick Your Poison. From a Chic Dispenser

I admit Mad Men has succeeded in making smoking look kinda cool and sexy again.  But then they don’t show us anyone gasping for their breath or dying of lung cancer after.  So Monkey Said Bear wants you to know we DO NOT recommend smoking, nor are we endorsing it in any way shape or form.  The actual alliterative title of the post should be “Pretend to Pick Your Poison…”

But i will confidently say that I adore the accessories.  This post was inspired by reading this and falling in love with the roulette dispenser on Don Draper’s desk:

(and you may be wondering if the Mad Men posts and references are going to stop anytime soon.  Well, friends…… No)

I went on a search and found some rather inexpensive options – some as quirky and kitschy as heck – some elegant, some modern.  For this post i’m focusing on the vintage.  I just might have to get me one.  But what else could I stock it with besides cigarettes?  Any ideas?
