         1 . A clothes hanger comprising:
 a housing;   a motor positioned within the housing, the motor having an output member;   a motor controller electrically coupled to the motor;   a wireless communication module electrically coupled to the motor controller;   a hanger coupled to the output member; and   a hook removably coupled to the housing;   
       wherein the hanger rotates about an axis in response to activation of the motor. 
     
     
         2 . The hanger of  claim 1 , further including a transmission positioned between the output member and the hanger. 
     
     
         3 . The hanger of  claim 1 , further including a display. 
     
     
         4 . The hanger of  claim 3 , wherein the display is a touch screen.

         9 . The hanger of  claim 1 , wherein the hanger rotates about the axis at a user-defined speed. 
     
     
         10 . A system comprising:
 a clothes hanger including a hook, a motor, and a hanger rotationally driven about an axis; and   a user device wirelessly connected to the clothes hanger and configured to adjust a rotation of the hanger about the axis.   
     
     
         11 . The system of  claim 10 , wherein the user device is a remote control. 
     
     
         12 . The system of  claim 10 , wherein the user device is a cell phone. 
     
     
         13 . The system of  claim 10 , wherein the clothes hanger further includes a display. 
     
     
         14 . The system of  claim 13 , wherein the display includes a rotation adjustment interface. 
     
     
         15 . The system of  claim 10 , wherein adjustment of rotation of the hanger about the axis includes adjusting a speed, a direction, or a combination of both speed and direction. 
     
     
         16 . The system of  claim 10 , further comprising an auxiliary hook removably coupled to the clothes hanger.
