The cats fan heather went green caught on fire and blew up in my face, well tonight I had another frightning experience- I went to plug in my Hair straightner and noticed I could see some wires, that's odd I thought but still plugged it in and yup the wires blew up and suddenley my hands got hot!
So I quickly scrambled to the plugs and unplugged it and then chucked the machine out- Damn that cost me a few $$ ..lol

Gawd I'm lucky I'm still here posting... Guess I should be more careful next time.

Glad you're OK, and chucked that sucker out! We wanted fried SPAM, NOT fried Sam
Better to err on cautious side whenever wires are involved.

Sam, how long have you had the hair straightener?? If it's fairly new, I would write/call the company that manufacturers that product and put in a complaint. Most likely they will send you a new one or at least some discount coupons to buy another.

Oh maybe they don't have it there?? It's a ceramic flat iron, it's really easy to work with and produces great results. It sells for around $90-$120 us here.. I heard about it from this girly girl cosmetic/hair board somewhere on the net, and though I don't exactly consider myself too girly, this thing is awesome.. Here's a link to one on ebay just so you can see what is it
