Last week at a western sydney pub i came across what i thought was a most extraordinary sight. A coin operated hair straightener station inside the ladies room. The Glidehair styler is apparently quick and easy, hygienic and sterile!! Sterile? This detail made me feel a little uneasy, but have since discovered many friends surprisingly, love the idea. Just the thing for dealing with frizzy hair that might unhappily appear during Thursday night dance party sessions. Not that I would know. Still, with weather like we've had in Sydney this month, the horrid humidity, perhaps this appliance will soon become a must have inside all venue bathrooms.
The coin operated hair styler idea, apparently has been around since the 1920's when it was first patented, but since the development of ceramic heat technology, the vending machine hair straightener concept has finally been realised and come into its own. Yay, go glidehair!
Of course, if we really want to get serious about vending machines we need to take a little trip to Japan. The home of the most outrageous and unthinkable vending machines on the planet, from beer, bikinis, sneakers, suits and neckties to live lobsters and fresh eggs. It's all on offer ready to be dispensed at the touch of a button!
