Laurie Coleman, former runway model and wife of Senator Norm Coleman (R-MN), has invented a truly remarkable product: The Blo & Go hands-free blowdryer holster.
You must read the Washington Post article on this. It touches on the somewhat suspect connotations that this product's name generates:
They tried to get a quote from Norm, but he at least had the smarts to realize the political sensitivity of this. Too bad they didn't ask his election opponent, Al Franken, to weigh in. I'm sure he wouldn't mind going on the record on this one.Coleman's voice registers shock -- and dismay-- that anyone would make such a connection. "I didn't think of that," she says. And then she goes further to point out that the name wasn't even her idea. It came out of a committee. It was all in the brainstorming, during which "Freedom Styler" was rejected. And so it went: You get your hair blown out. You need a blowout. You get blown . . . out. And then you go. Bingo: "Blo & Go!"
Coleman's portable little device doesn't grip the nozzle of the blow-dryer; instead, it cradles the handle. It holds by suction to any flat surface such as a mirror. "I needed something of great quality that was really going to stay up," she says. "The whole key to this is the suction."
Laurie Coleman, you're not only one heckuva looney toon, you're the looniest toon I've featured so far.
