This very cool web site turns out to be a well disguised campaign for the anti-smoking lobby. Fantastic design, very amusing, some great merchandise, and a very subtle way of luring you in. Top marks, if a little underhand.
It’s almost as impressive as these mobile phone handsets modeled on old bakelite telephones from the 1950s. Totally impractical, but they just look so good I want one.

Playing with your ears?
My male hairdressers in the past have all been the silent type - then we all had children and now all we do is talk about our children. So initially I had the opposite problem from you, desperately wanting to chat with this hunk hovering above my head, but no idea what to say. I mean, what do you say to the silent type? ‘Mmmm, nice torso!’
My current hairdresser is wonderful in the way that she seems to sense whether you’re feeling chatty or not.
