Fed Ex Packets Lint Brushes

This … hot off the press from the floors of the Condé Nast building:

Put away your lint brushes; the ladies who dress have found a better, faster, cheaper, more efficient way to remove the niggling stray hairs and fuzz that plague a lovely outfit.

FedEx airbill pouches from the supply room.

Yes, your sorry lint-laden days are over. Simply place your hand in a pouch, and start patting. With more coverage than masking tape (admit it, you’ve tried that one), the sticky pouches can easily remove any and all offending particles in a matter of seconds.

“FedEx things are seriously sticky, much more so than one of those tape-y roller lint brushes,” says a senior editor at Glamour. “I pulled one out the other day …and everyone here went wild.”

Can paper clip hair pins be far behind?
