"Give Someone Special Their Face for Christmas." That's a weird headline for a press release. Really, really weird.
But I'll give it this: The headline did make me click through and read the whole release, if only for the sake of morbid curiosity. And believe you me, I wasn't disappointed. Being well into December as we are, plenty of off-beat product manufacturers are swooping in for the hard sell, and given the current economic environment, the sell is getting all the harder.
So, if by now you've failed to choose the perfect gift for someone, ThatsMyFace is certain that it has the perfect answer: Give them their own face. Or, rather, a 3D model of their face. The company "brings traditional 2D photography and portrait sculptures into the full-color world of the 21st century. We called it 'That's My Face' because that was literally the first thing I said when I saw my first facial reproduction. It's like being face-to-face with yourself."
That's a direct quote from the company's founder, Dr. Marc Cardle, who, fortunately, didn't have a more expletive-laden response to the technology, such as, "Holy s*** that's my face," or, "Motherf*****, that's my face." (Also, one of several reasons why it's fortunate that Rod Blagojevich didn't found the company.)
ThatsMyFace offers a large range of products with your face on them, from a $29 keychain to a $2,000 head sculpture. It's perfect gift for that special someone who has everything, except, you know, their own face.
