My Latest Purchase----not art but, can it be considered as such?

Ok..my blow dryer went kaputt...the other day..so I hurriedly had to replace it. I am fascinated with my new purchase. It is compact in size ..has a cool Artsy design and color flare to it and it works FABULOUSLY! It blow drys my hair in two minutes...wow.... I am in love with it.

Whoever was the designer on this piece did a fine job...someone had to design the look on each product around our homes...ever think about that? Even the car we drive...there is design and creativity in our day to day lives..

Here is a pic of my latest...Remington "It's all that!" blowdryer..a little Pop Artish in design.
