You Doll

Low quality daytime talk shows used to feature sparse-toothed wanna be pimps seeking to get their girls with catchy lines like “Get rid of that zero and go with a real hero” (typically eliciting wild boos from the crowd). If you fancy yourself a hero, these days you can put your money where your mouth is. Gentle Giant Studios will make a personalized ‘you’ doll – a dye cast miniature that is your spitting image. Want the chicks to worship you like Justin Timberlake or Adam Levine? This is the fastest way to their hearts. And if you really crave a squealing fan club, you may consider pitching your mini-you to the powers that be behind the ever-popular Happy Meal. Gentle Giant Studios (818) 504 3555; full body replica with packaging, $6,000; your head with generic body (GI Joe style), $2,500.

Lie Detector

What’s a little white lie now and then? It’s time you heard the truth. You are thin and fabulous, don’t look a day over twenty and have the charisma of an ebullient drunk on a bender. The VSA-15 portable lie detector is sure to confirm all that you already know. But for heaven’s sake, don’t bring it into the bedroom; sometimes too much honesty can spoil a good thing. Available at The Counter Spy Shops, 1 (888) 779-9205, spyzone.com; $2,900.
