MN-Sen: Introducing the "Blo & Go"!

Blo & Go for $19.99

For years, Coleman had been jury-rigging wire coat hangers into holders for
her blow-dryer so she could use both hands to style her hair. "You go on a
trip with senators and you have 45 minutes and you have to be ready to
go," says Coleman, who doesn't have the luxury of traveling with a
hairstylist. "Norm's not going to blow-dry my hair."
Her makeshift holsters were awkward, but they worked. That led a friend,
Anthony Turk, who is now her business partner, to encourage her to develop and
manufacture the device. It took four years of working with a product designer,
but you can now get a Blo & Go for $19.99.
Prices have increased due to the economy, of course, but still!
The Washington Post rather dryly notes:
It is hard to believe that the name Blo & Go was not chosen to, at the
very least, amuse. This, after all, is a world in which the term "wide
stance" churns up easy chuckles.
Coleman's voice registers shock -- and dismay-- that anyone would make such
a connection. "I didn't think of that," she says.
