Neck and Back Braces That Aren't Dorky
Just the other day, after I fell down the stairs, I was hoping the doc would put me in a fashionable back and neck brace. A person has to maintain some resemblance to cool. I have an image to maintain. I love the cane that looks like somebody's leg bones, and the wire neck brace is pretty intense with an S & M appearance. The designer is trying to put new values to vital medical equipment: vanity! OTOH, the neck brace to hold your cell phone is pretty cool any day of the week.
