  1. It would be sitting on a shelf in my garage, right next to the Perfect
    Pancake Maker, and various other useless things that I have succumbed
    to. :-)

    I think of myself as a savvy consumer, unswayed by slick ads, leery of
    marketing claims, and certainly never propelled toward the telephone
    by the lure of an infomercial demonstration.

    But if all that's true, then what in the world is this plastic thing
    called the Eggstractor doing on my kitchen counter? Do I really need a
    contraption to peel the shell off hardboiled eggs? Does anyone?

  2. Anyone want a RevoStyler!?

  3. Hi,

    Wasn't that the brush sort of thing that spins around? If so I
    remember thinking that it looked like an excellent way to end up with
    horribly tangled hair - with a brush stuck in it. Yikes.
    That's still not the worst As Seen on TV item ever though. I still
    think that would be those horrible spinning wire coils that rip the
    hair out of your leg. They weren't hair removal devices. They were
    torture instruments.

    Take care,
    Carmen

    Egads! I remember one time when I used a small-barreled
    brush in my long hair and got it tangled. I asked SO to
    help and what did he do? He got the scissors and cut it out!!!

    Ouch. Been there done that - without the cutting. Mostly ripping it
    out at the roots instead.
    Ever gotten a curling brush stuck in your hair? Even more fun! Burns
    on top of the hir ripping while you try and untangle it.
    I've got 70s level naturally straight hair so curling brushes are a
    necessity for doing anything nice with my hair. Sigh.

    Take care,

    Not if I could have seen it coming - he was standing beside
    me and my hair was blocking the view. Oh well, I did ask
    for help and wasn't specific : )

    The lady who trims my hair said to try vaseline next time
    (like there's going to be a next time).

    I've not had that pleasure yet.

    Me, too. I don't do much to it though, only blow dry for
    some lift. SO likes it better au naturale, as do I.

    Howard prefers it loose and soft, but the realities of life usually
    make
    me put it up in a ponytail after I chuck some curls into it for body.
    It's
    fine textured (except for the silver hairs that are starting to show
    up)
    so it flies in my face and bugs me. One of these days I'm gonna break

    his heart and cut it short. Just not quite yet. :-)

    Take care,
    Carmen
