Loving My Sexy New Ironing Board

It is a great ironing board. I would like it to be about 25% longer to handle my long shirts but with a bit of practice (i.e. five dress shirts a week for xxx amount of time) I am confident I will be able to overcome that minor annoyance.

The width is good and the edges are rounded allowing you to iron over the edge.

Opening the midget legs that fold into the body when not in use, and putting it on the table was the perfect height.

Those of you who do a lor of ironing will know the importance of "glide". The material on this board provides the perfect amount of glide with very little stick that is experienced when you iron direcrtly on a towel (which I have been doing since moving to Tokyo as my ironingboard no longer has the original cover and so I was forced to iron on a towel).

The metal mesh backing allows for the escape of steam bot it is essential to be careful with the steam as it could damage your countertop unless you put a towelunder your workstation.

I love that it has a hangar boilt into it so that I can hang it on my clothing rack for a very low-profile storage option.

I must say that this ironingboard would be espoecially beneficial to women who own s lot of curve-hugging or form fitting shirts because of the way the central part of the board has a curve, just like women.

For the price and novelty, and in spite of the limiting size, I would definitely recommend this to anyone living in close confines who would like a bit more space.

Have a great afternoon.

  1. So... technically, you're still ironing on a towel

  2. Let me get a link for you to see how this baby looks, Deb. And yes, technically I am ironing about 60cm above a towel.

  3. That looks major neato (and just a little bit creepy because it's in the shape of a human torso and hangs in your closet. It'd scare me if I was half asleep and opened my wardrobe door)


    I WANT ONE!!!!!

  10. Deb - I like that you like the thought of scaring yourself in the middle of the night. It turns me on.. Wanna play with my board?

  11. I threw out my little styrofoam jury-rigger holder and the batteries on both vidcam and digicam are dead since I haven't had a connection for so long.

    It's too bad that Multiply doesn't offer live webcamming... I'd set up cameras around my apartment and let them run. That way you could all watch the empty apartment while I'm gone from 8am - 8 or 9pm... And when you couldn't see anything... well, you could just imagine red curtains fluttering in the breeze....

  12. Yeah... you know... like in the old days when everyone was too inhibited to admit that that hot couple on the TV screen, or in the movies were about to get it on..... They'd switch to "fluttering red drapes". It's kind of like how these days they show white doves flying off into a beautiful sky to depict feminine hygiene products... "Hey honey the doves are flying again... the neighbour must be having her period!!!

  24. Well, if you and Paula come for a visit next year at the same time, I promise I'll keep my ironing board in the closet, PhoEeebe in her briefcase, and keep you two busy!

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  27. "keep you two busy" could also be busy with cooking, cleaning, doing laundry and other domestic things, yanno.

  28. US???

    Do chores???


    Some host!

    PFFFTTT!!!

    ReplyDelete
  29. OYE .... MEN... how is it that a conversation about an ironing board can become convoluted to sex... and women doing all the housework?? LOL Go figure, Cam sweetie, I think you need to get out side for a walk.... perhaps the fresh air will clear up your head a bit... and help you come to your senses.... as I am pretty sure that neither Jen nor I will be any ones housemaid again.... not in this lifetime! LMAO... Perhaps you better read the booklet that came with your new ironing board, there might be a warning on there somewhere about the fumes from the "gliding" fabric.. that can cause a delusional state... make sure when you iron you have plenty of fresh ventilation... :-P

  30. Well... I might consider being a kept woman, by my sugar daddy. But NOT a housekeeper or Nanny...cause I don't speak Spanish, and that is a requirement to work for him as his son is bilingual and he wants to keep it that way. LOL

    ReplyDelete
  31. Paula...i want to be a kept woman!

    Can you find me a sugar daddy?

    I'm done with the "for love" thing... i think...

    Maybe the sugar daddy will let me have a boo on the side.

    ReplyDelete
  32. Jen - I guess in that case you can have your cake and eat it too! I love you!

    Paula - It doesn't matter; I still love you. Especially for your big feet and small head. Come see me again in Tokyo, will you? I'm sure Reed will give you a couple days off from the optimizing work you do for him?
