      I remember a time in school when no one dared take a headband off and set it down for a minute, because it would immediately be over someone else’s eyes.

        Guys, we can’t all be Geordi.

        Ok, I guess we can all be Geordi.

      Same here. The Yellow/Black ones were the prized ones

    I had long hair during the TNG days, and somewhere in my childhood home, there’s a bathroom drawer or cabinet full of the same kind they used for Geordi’s visor, and similarly painful plastic headbands. I know there’s also a Polaroid or two somewhere of me and a cousin holding them up to our faces, running around saving the Enterprise that was the basement. If I’d only known to bring them around me throughout life, for that nostalgia hit…

    I found this video with one of the actual props. Potato quality, but it looks like the MOFO was 5mm thick cast aluminum, with polished brass rods for the comb teeth.

      Nice find. I like the consideration of the nose bridge.
