Australian Iron Sales To Suffer With Release Of New ghd

Here at Defamer Australia we pride ourselves on bringing you the latest and greatest gossip from here and o/s. From LiLo’s long walk out of the closet to Australia’s newest gay boy band the Young Twinks, we never crimp (trust me, that pun will have you roflmao-ing once you read on) on coverage. That’s why it seemed so important to bring you the following, totally relevant to a gossip blog, news.

Behold, ghd have announced the ghd IV limited edition gift set is coming to Aussie shelves. What’s more, it’ll be here in time for Christmas. Yes, you heard it here first; soon you’ll be able to style your way through the holiday season like a true A-lister, with the latest version of everyone’s fave hair styler.

Packaged in a super-cute roll-up carry-case, the gift set will include a ghd IV styler, ghd travel hairdryer and 2 sectioning clips for professional styling. Plus there’s more (oh I’ve always wanted to write that). The carry case also doubles as a handy, yet always glamorous, heat resistant mat for safe styling on the go.

But what’s the best bit? This latest incarnation is purple. That’s right, purple. Not green, not blue, not even yellow, but purple. As the official press release explains;

“Associated with royalty, regality and nobility, purple has been adopted by ghd for this season’s limited edition styler to ensure that whatever the occasion you’ll feel like a glam goddess.”

Yes, we suspected as much.

In fact, even uber-chic Oz designer Kit Willow Podgornick has put her fashion-stamp of approval on the product;

“For WILLOW’s Resort 2008 collection we have used Antler a dusty shade of purple. It is the colour for summer that works effortlessly with other shades. I love that ghd have created a special edition purple styler, I adore the colour and I know that other girls will feel the same way and add this must have item to their Christmas wish list.”

Ah, mkay. Whatevs. As long as this latest ghd can help me straighten my mop as well as the original ghd, it can be whatever colour it likes. I’ll buy it anyway. And with a RRP of $329, who wouldn’t? Well maybe a Fairfax journo- you know, seeing as they are outta work and all.

The ghd IV limited edition purple gift set will hit salon shelves on 30th October. Click right… here for the full list of stockists.
