View More Gwyneth Paltrow’s Goop is coming to NetflixOf course Goop and Dyson are selling a 24-karat gold hair dryer
It’s a match made in late-stage capitalism heaven.
Gwyneth Paltrow’s pseudoscience-filled lifestyle brand Goop is now shilling a Dyson product that truly embodies the best of the word “excess.”
Please meet the Dyson Supersonic™ hair dryer in 23.75 karat gold.
Dyson released this very special edition of its Supersonic hair dryer in August. It’s an ultra-luxe version of its (actually great, if pricey) hair dryer. Just, ya know, adorned with gold.
But not just any gold! It’s gold leaf, sourced from Italy, and hand painted on every device. The wand of the dryer also comes in a nice royal blue. The case comes in a red that matches the “gesso” of the dryer.

Goop is finally hiring a fact-checker and it’s about time
Goop — Gwyneth Paltrow’s snake oil-peddling lifestyle enterprise known for its questionable “health and wellness” claims — is at long last hiring a fact-checker. And, my goodness, it is about bloody time.
In a profile in the New York Times, Paltrow expressed her, uhhh, lack of enthusiasm for making the hire, which she called a “necessary growing pain.”
For the fortunate people not yet acquainted with the site, Goop is perhaps best known for calling on readers to put jade eggs inside their vaginas in the name of sexual empowerment. Side note: never do this. It also instructed readers to use coffee to clean out their colons and to lose weight by not eating. Read more…
