Your stylist might be hair-spying on you

Filed under: Hair Care

Stylists tend to be chatty people, so before you know it, you're talking about the latest celebrity gossip, your love life, or the black market business you've established selling illegal firearms to South American rebel groups.


But while it might seem OK to share this potentially incriminating information with the man or woman shaping your finely-groomed coiffure, be careful. This new blow dryer/spy camera makes it easy for your stylist to record your tales of nefarious activity, and report to the authorities.

The seemingly innocuous little gadget comes complete with a 3.7mm wide angle lens, a 2.4 GHz receiver, and even a x-ray vision that lets you beam images up to 1500 ft -- making it easy to document your every transgression.

However, it should be fairly easy to tell if the person cutting your hair has a side gig with the CIA -- namely, because they'll be using a hair dryer that doesn't actually dry your hair. That, despite appearances, is the one thing this super-duper spy cam isn't capable of.

Take spy photos with this vintage locket

Filed under: Accessories, Vintage and Retro



Do you ever have fantasies of being a secret agent -- discretely photographing fellow revelers at swanky events with your cleverly disguised camera? Thanks to a surprisingly stylish new device from Kodak, now your dreams can be reality!

Designer Lindsey Pickett has created the 1881 -- digital camera that looks like a vintage locket. Says Pickett: "Inspired by the emotional connection and careful framing of locket photos, 1881 strives to create a more precious medium through which to share your memories, whether at home or on the street."

It should be noted, that just because you're surreptitiously taking photos of your friends, you're not necessarily a spy. On the other hand, for the camera also serves a more straightforward function for the sentimental among you -- displaying your images like locket photos of yore. Using an LCD screen viewable whenever you open the locket, you can keep loved ones close to your heart -- just like all your favorite Jane Austen characters.

Now we just need a guys' version made to look like a serious piece of bling.
