the appliance clothes

image from BoingBoing Gadgets

Via BoingBoing Gadgets, a 1949 ad for a Man-from-Mars Radio Hat. The creators could have plumped for greater efficiency and called it a Martian Radio Hat, but I can see where that would prove confusticating for some folk. But the ad did get me thinking about other possible appliance-clothing combos that would set the world to talking.

The Dishwasher Slacks
The Carwash Jacket
The iPhone Thong
The Breadmaker Twill Polo Top for Men and Women
The Projectile Parka
The Letter Opener Scrunchie
The Stovetop Dress
The Range Hood Hood
The Damp Socks

I know, you're wondering why I'm not rich beyond my wildest dreams. I think it's because my dreams are so very, very tame.

UPDATE: The Wii Wig

how about a tea-cozy toque with matching tea-cozy spout scarf -- "for the little tea pot in all of us."

And the winner is Nate, for his smoke detector smoking jacket! He gets some prize of some kind. I dunno.
