Kramer's HAIR-BRAINED Ideas


The coffee-table book about coffee tables...the "Bro" bra for men ...beach-scented Beach cologne--yada yada yada. Like we haven't all heard about Kramer's greatest hits. But the K-man's an idea factory, churning out schemes and scams and kooky concepts faster than you can say, "Giddy-up!"
