This device is actually a fan, cleverly mounted so that it blows into your face, thus making your hair billow in its breeze - giving you the appearance of a race car driver, ski champion, or other fast paced action sport hero. Attached to ergonomic prongs protruding from your shoulders and chest area, you can saunter into your next business meeting or church service and reinforce that certain 'something' that others have been known to comment on.

Goggles are also a good touch, with bits of dirt, blood or engine grease smeared across the cheek bones.

       some of us are lucky enough for that "dragged-through-a-hedge-backwards" effect with no help whatsoever.

       I'll bring my 10 yard long silk aviator scarf!

       Better watch out for that scarf, that's what killed Isadora Duncan. It looked nice blowing in the wind as they drove down the road in their convertible - until it caught in one of the axles and snapped her neck.

       Yes please! I'm more likely to wear one of these than to become a pilot or racing driver.

       A sort of "permanent BeeGees look"? Bun for [ben].

       But would the device not block one's face? Perhaps a vaccuum device mounted on the back of the head would produce the same effect.

       bristolz - nice picture!

       Add a halo and some sort of slomo-type effect and you've got yourself a hit. Maybe some gardenia scented perfume. The sound of angels singing. And a smoke machine.

       Dogs would love this... if their need to hang out car windows is anything to go by.

       what about adding a large water pistol that randomly shoots you in the face?

       "...you can saunter into your next business meeting..."   

       I can just imagine your bosses wig getting sucked off his head and into the fan then shreded to pieces and blown onto you...then you can break out a can of polish and shine his head with that 10ft aviator scarf you're wearing. Just for that image in my head +
