This battery-powered, hair fastener has two coupled rings to flex and flip your tresses, just like a real pony’s tail! Banish flies and mosquitoes while attracting admirers with curls sweeping past your cheek or alluring locks doing a jitterbug bounce behind flirtatious eyes.

(??) I trust this also comes with built-in artifical pony-tail...? http://moniplex.com.../pix/p12d5f5dbf.jpg

Great for all those horse-crazed teen-aged girls. ("Look, ma! I can kill flies just like my horse Brandy!") Just think of the reduction of the fly population that these devices could bring about.

I like this. It needs to occasionally change from a gentle swishing to an agitated snapping motion.

I want one. I would like to snap people without them knowing it was me (mwhahahaha).

Where's [sparki]? She'd like this. I'll give you a croissant on her behalf.

Can there be a small remote that has buttons on it like: Breeze, Snap, and a pulse so that what Pericles describes can be accomplished?

It could be marketed under the name "Medusa".

Don't look a gift horse in the back of the mouth

I like horses...

I have many small dreadlocks, could thes be animated too? I'd be like a sea urchin! Yeah!

//occasionally change from a gentle swishing to an agitated snapping motion//
How about some bio-sensors that change the motion based on the wearer's mood?
-- krelnik, Apr 08 2003


or change the motion based on the heart-rate...

hmm.. intriguing idea...

"...I'd be like a sea urchin!"

or Medusa.

I thought of something like this for a devils tail on a halloween costume. perhaps put beat dection into it and your hair will bounce along with music

Sounds charming, but...

This would hurt like hell. Any of you ever ride in a convertible with long hair? It stings when it hits you.
