'Au Bonheur des Rues' - the Hair Dryer


Perhaps it's just as well we don't have to suffer this contraption, girls, when we get our hair done.

Les filles,c'est peut-être mieux que nous n'ayons plus à souffrir sous cet appareil, lorsque nous nous faisons coiffer.

  2. Wooo, this reminds me in some way of that plant in Little Shop of Horrors! On the other hand, I remember having my hair dried in a more modern, but less attractive, version.

  8. That is a more elegant design that any of the old ones I have seen in the US... I wonder if it could be rewired for a floor lamp...

  10. Sometimes, when seeing old things, I'm feeling very happy to live HERE and NOW! :)

  11. There are days, when you are happy not to be a lady, especially a lady some decades ago! :-)
