I'm sure a lot of you have seen this. Most of you men will find it amusing. I do not think it is a piece of gear that is very useful. Here is the link to go look at it:

From the dictionary:

Greek & Roman Mythology. Any of numerous minor deities represented as beautiful maidens inhabiting and sometimes personifying features of nature such as trees, waters, and mountains.

A girl, especially a beautiful one.

The larval form of certain insects, such as silverfish and grasshoppers, usually resembling the adult form but smaller and lacking fully developed wings. Also called nympha.

nymph

n 1: (classical mythology) a minor nature goddess usually depicted as a beautiful maiden; "the ancient Greeks believed that nymphs inhabited forests and bodies of water"
2: a larva of an insect with incomplete metamorphosis (as the dragonfly or mayfly) 3: a voluptuously beautiful young woman


The game is set between the 1920's and the 1940's and that pipe fits well with the time period. Perhaps for a woman it's a little over done. Maybe a woman could have an ebony (or ivory) cigarette holder/filter?

I agree about the cigarette holder, it would go so much better with my outfit than a pipe.

Art is in the eye of the beholder. I prefer realism not to the extreme of the pipe mind you.

Hey Steel, I know a guy who knows a guy who can get you a deal on that pipe. He might even take that dragon off your hands. In the back room of Big Lucy's...ask for Joe...tell him Gunn sent you.

I prefer a nice hand rolled Cuban cigar myself.

maybe it's really a bubble pipe??? that would solve the smoking issue....as for the pipe itself, I think Sunny has picked an awesome art object for the game
