What happened to your frizz, Liz?

Ladies, has this happened to you? You’re having a drink with a cute guy in a bar, when he admits he just isn’t attracted to women with frizzy hair like yours.

Well, stop crying, help is here. This company is putting coin-operated hair-styling vending machines in ladies rooms, so you can excuse yourself for a minute, straighten your hair, and return as the person he wants you to be!

If this catches on, there’s no limit to how elaborate these vending machines can get. Go to “powder your nose,” come back with a dye job, a face-lift, liposuction, body wax…

Or maybe the ultimate self-improvement vending machine, where a few coins can get buy you a big sticky cream pie, just right for tossing, so you can go back out and show how little you care what he thinks. Kimberley Lim reports:

While we’re at it…why don’t we have a vending machine that dispenses tailor-made gorgeous men?

No woman should change her looks because a guy didn´t fancy her hair. The mistake is not the machine, but the guy… or the woman who cares so much about one specific guy´s opinion
