Breathtaking Sexy Inhalers

Filed under: Medicine

The fetishization of medical conditions and diagnoses proceeds apace: now, you can be the new puff daddy of your social circle, when Crystal Icing decks out your inhaler with Swarovski crystals.

CronicBabe explains:

"The list of stuff that you can put crystals on is endless," says Gina Smith, president of Crystal Icing. "We just got a request for a trumpet!"

Believe it or not, my inhaler is not their first. Another woman ordered one for her mother, who was just diagnosed with asthma...

I busted out my inhaler a few nights ago at a club, and people went crazy. "Oooh, I want asthma!" is not something I'm used to hearing. In the dark and smoky bar, with the overhead lights hitting the crystals, it really sparkled... My inhaler is a rock star.

Smith says the trick is using Swarovski crystals, and hand-placing each one so they cover the item perfectly.
