Abstract: The present invention is a novel marketing, promotion and distribution system utilizing Web-enabled interactive devices. The invention contemplates a client creating media content that is designed to appeal to users who are equipped with such Web-enabled devices. This content is presented in a user visual experience that, in turn, has been designed to induce an impulsive-type desire to purchase in users. The user visual experience will include multi-dimensional media which includes a portion thereof designated a visual media tag area capable of providing a visual tag including a multi-character code capable of being seen by the user who is viewing the multi-dimensional visual media. The said media content is located on a client Web server. The user enters the multi-character code on the Web-enabled device, which communicates with the client Web server using one or more of a native app, or a phone app, or a text message app.

Abstract: An improved hair curling iron is disclosed having a heat conductive cylinder with a flocked outer surface and a hollow center, a handle joined to the cylinder, a heating element disposed within the hollow center of the cylinder, an electrical mechanism activating the heating element when connected to a source of electrical power, and a clamp having a partial cylindrical section with a flocked inner surface which is biased against the flocked outer surface of the cylinder by a spring.

Abstract: A heated curling brush with retractable teeth for use in curling the hair. The curling brush includes inner and outer barrels with toothed comb members of a sufficient size for properly curling the hair and pivotally mounted within longitudinal slots in the inner barrel so that the teeth are capable of extending outwardly through apertures in the outer barrel. A source of heat is supplied through the inner barrel. Rotation of the outer barrel member results in the teeth of the comb members moving between an extended position in which each tooth extends perpendicularly to the exterior of the outer barrel for use in curling the hair and a retracted position within transverse recesses in the inner barrel for enabling the brush to be easily withdrawn from the hair. As the teeth are drawn into their retracted position, such action simultaneously serves to comb the hair thereby helping to facilitate the withdrawal of the brush.
