Is it crazy if I actually want to buy this crazy thing? I am actually fairly self-conscious about my terrible posture, but walking properly (i.e. not with my butt sticking out) or sitting properly (i.e. not hunched over with my chin on my non-mousing hand) is something I usually remember to do consciously about five minutes at a time, eight to ten months apart. However, the price point ($99.95) is probably juuuuust on the wrong side of what I’d theoretically be willing to spend on such a snake-oily bauble as this. It may also be the reason that, even though New York magazine put the notion in my head, I’m not more seriously considering Botoxing my armpits.
Posture Perfection?

It looks kind of awesome, but I’m also unwilling to pay $100 for it. I wonder if the ab exerciser that buzzed your fat-covered muscles into shape could be repurposed for this thing. My posture is so terrible, I’ve considered strapping a yardstick to my back when i sleep.
According to my dermatologist, armpit Botox doesn’t work for most people. So that frees up some funds for the Posture Posy.
I can’t believe I’m admitting this, but I get armpit Botox and
it’s incredible! I’m sure there are people that it doesen’t
work for, but it’s worked for me and I can’t imagine going back to
being a sweaty mess. It’s even covered by my insurance.
I need this badly, but I’m afraid of what happens if it malfunctions. Scary! I’m sure my posture is bad enough, that I would feel like I was doing a backbend before it actually said I was using a proper posture position. Like, when i was little, I didn’t want to brush my teeth like ever (gross, I know) so my mom got these little caplets that you chewed up and they turned your teeth pink and you had to brush until they weren’t pink anymore, and then you knew your teeth were clean. Anyway, I swear to God, I brushed with my little pink Miss Piggy toothbrush for half an hour and my teeth were still the color of that sidebar over there. My mom then brushed my teeth for another 15 minutes and finally gave up made me swish with a gallon of mouth wash before it all finally came off. I never had to use those caplets again. So, I’m afriad this posture thing would be like that, kind of. Just a bad uncomfortable situation for a full day.
I got about halfway through the second sentence and then I slowly took my chin off my non-mousing hand and sat up straighter.
