This Darth Vader Blow Dryer is Geek Chic

— July 5, 2011 — Unique
This must-have Darth Vader Blow Dryer is from the creative mind of Russian designer Tembolat Gugkaev. This sci-fi hair styler uses the force to dry your hair. Although the blow dryer may only be a concept design, the Darth Vader Blow Dryer is surely ideal for any geeky fan girl or boy's birthday wish list, and will have you saying, "Luke, I'm your stylist."

The design of the blow dryer itself is quite simple. Its sleek, black casing and very practical air vents make it a creative, funny, quirky item, but also an essential for anyone's post-shower routine. The only thing that could make this item any better is if it doubled as a Darth Vader asthma puffer.
