Hmm, I actually think that lipstick stencil could be a good idea...

I can't believe they left off the Anita Nose Adjuster!

 

[Land-O-LakesGal]

I was a particular fan of the radiation beard removal, like cutting off a leg to loose weight. lol

Although the psycho expander comes in a close second just for the name.

I am sure there will be people sitting around discussing how people of our time got sprayed on tan, silicone injections, botox etc... in 50 years and saying similar things.

That hair-growing vacuum hat dingus was an idea that just kept coming back over and over again. it was revived in the late thirties by the Crosley company -- a reputable outfit known for radios and refrigerators, but rather than selling it to individuals it was sold to beauty parlors and barber shops as a "scientific treatment device."

Barnum was right. And he was also bald.
