I am an Architect, albeit not currently a practicing one. If you say the words “flat iron” an Architect thinks of 1 thing and 1 thing only – The Fuller Building in NYC, otherwise known as The Flatiron Building.
Well, apparently a flat iron isn’t a building, at least in popular culture. This is a celebrity using a flat iron. It is obviously NOT a building.
So now, I am intrigued. Partially because I read that the flat iron this celebrity is using is worth a million dollars. I’m also confused because you can easily buy a building for a million dollars. Maybe not The Flatiron Building, but definitely some building or another.
I did some research.
Wikipedia was no help as a search for “what is flat iron” brought up info on The Flatiron Building. I did find out, which was sort of obvious by the celebrity photo, that a flat iron is basically a hair straightener. The opposite of a curling iron. I have stick straight hair so I have no use for one of these. Plus I’m also an “Accidental Mommy” which makes me the opposite of someone who has any knowledge of hair tools other than comb and brush.
If you happen to be in the market for a flat iron, do not bother to visit a real estate website. Instead visit misikko.com. They have plenty of flat irons / hair straighteners for a lot less than the celebrity allegedly paid for hers.
From their site:
A flat iron is a flexible styling tool that has come a long way from the scary torture devices of ages past. Flat irons today are safe, gentle on your hair and can be used not only to straighten, but also to make quick curls and flips. Like any tool, the key is knowing how to use it!
Seriously, the same can be said for a building….
