"Be prepared...Who needs the Girl Scouts?"


We've all experienced it—that sinking feeling that comes along with a snapped bra strap, an errant deodorant stain, a snagged stocking.
Of course, there's no way to plan for everything, but we can move
many fashion emergencies down on the scale of one to horrifically
embarrassing with a few well-placed weapons.

The Rear View Mirror Bluetooth® Speakerphone
Available at Hammacher

Price: $139.95
Measures 4" x 11"

This is the Bluetooth-enabled rear view mirror that displays incoming calls on the mirror itself and has a removable wireless headset that allows speakerphone communication or in-ear use. Perhaps a bit pricey, but well worth it. If for no other reason than the safety factor - since the mirror displays the incoming number calling, you won't waste any (ie take-your-life-in-your-hands) moments digging through your bag, or groping at the passenger seat to pick up your cell phone, so you can see who's calling!
