Nothing nightmare inducing about this.
Aw, I didn’t ruin your post-beauty-queen-sex-scandal spirits, did I?
If this product has convinced you that you need an ultrasonic ion brush, you can buy it here, but I think the sound will melt your brains.

Coelacanth filmed by Japanese/Indonesian research team
Japanese and Indonesian researchers filmed this rare footage of a “prehistoric” fish:
The creature was found on October 6 at a depth of 161 metres (528 feet) in Manado Bay off Sulawesi Island, where the Indonesian coelacanth was first discovered, according to the researchers.
Video footage showed the 31.5 centimetre (12.6-inch) coelacanth, coloured blue with white spots, swimming slowly among rocks on the seabed for about 20 minutes.“As far as we know, it was the first ever video image of a living juvenile coelacanth, which is still shrouded in mystery,” said Masamitsu Iwata, a researcher at Aquamarine Fukushima in Iwaki, northeast of Tokyo.
