A handheld telescopic ironing device for pressing clothing, fabric and the like comprising two handles joined at the distal end with a pivotal hinge, each handle comprised of an elongated hollow outer handle housing and at least one elongated hollow inner handle housing concentrically aligned and telescopically mounted within outer handle housing with a locking means to hold the with inner handle housing and outer handle housing at extended or contracted lengths. Attached to the two handles are heads each having a pressing surface mounted on a hollow head housing so that the two pressing surfaces oppose each other. The telescopic ironing device is further comprised of at least one heating element disposed within one or more of internal cavities of the head housing and has an optional steam feature.

The handheld ironing device of claim 1, wherein each of the first and second heatable pressing surfaces comprise two of the substantially straight side edges. 3. The handheld ironing device of claim 2, wherein the two substantially straight side edges of the first heatable pressing surface taper inwardly from the proximal end of the first heatable pressing surface at substantially the same angle, and the two substantially straight side edges of the second heatable pressing surface taper inwardly from the proximal end of the second heatable pressing surface at substantially the same angle. 4. The handheld ironing device of claim 3, wherein each of the first and second heatable pressing surfaces further comprise a distal tip tapering inwardly from the substantially straight side edges. 5. The handheld ironing device of claim 4, wherein the distal tips are substantially triangular. 6. The handheld ironing device of claim 1, wherein the first and second heatable pressing surfaces have peripheral edges that are substantially coextensive with each other when the first and second heatable pressing surfaces are pressed together. 7. The handheld ironing device of claim 1, wherein the first head is extendable from the first handle and the second head is extendable from the second handle. 8. The handheld ironing device of claim 7, further comprising a conductor cord extending through one or more of the first handle and second handles in series with a switch mounted on one of the handles capable of accommodating adjustments in handle length when the first or second heads are extended. 9. The handheld ironing device of claim 8, wherein the conductor cord is pre-coiled. 10. The handheld ironing device of claim 8, wherein the switch comprises an adjustable thermostatic control for selectively adjusting the heat output of the first and second heatable surfaces. 11. The handheld ironing device of claim 10, wherein the switch comprises an indicator for indicating when the heatable surfaces are energized. 12. The handheld ironing device of claim 1, further comprising steam producing means controlled by an actuator, the steam producing means emitting steam through holes in one or more of said first and second heated pressing surfaces. 13. A method of removing wrinkles from clothing or fabric comprising: providing a handheld ironing device comprising: a first handle;a first head extending from the first handle comprising a first heating element and a first heated pressing surface having a proximal end adjacent to the first handle and a distal end, wherein the first heatable pressing surface is flat from its proximal end to its distal end, and the distal end of the first heated pressing surface is tapered inwardly from the proximal end toward the distal end;a second handle pivotally mounted in relation to the first handle; anda second head extending from the second handle comprising a second heating element and a second heated pressing surface opposing the first heated pressing surface, the second heated pressing surface having a proximal end adjacent to the second handle and a distal end, wherein the second heatable pressing surface is flat from its proximal end to its distal end, the distal end of the second heated pressing surface is tapered inwardly from the proximal end toward the distal end, and each of the first and second heatable pressing surfaces comprise at least one substantially straight side edge tapered inwardly from the proximal to distal ends;positioning a clothing or fabric article between the first and second heated pressing surfaces; andmoving the first and second heated pressing surfaces together to press the clothing or fabric article with substantially uniform pressure between the first and second heated pressing surfaces. 14. The method of claim 13, wherein each of the first and second heated pressing surfaces comprise two of the substantially straight side edges. 15. The method of claim 14, wherein the two substantially straight side edges of the first heated pressing surface taper inwardly from the proximal end of the first heated pressing surface at substantially the same angle, and the two substantially straight side edges of the second heated pressing surface taper inwardly from the proximal end of the second heated pressing surface at substantially the same angle. 16. The method of claim 15, wherein each of the first and second heated pressing surfaces further comprise a distal tip tapering inwardly from the substantially straight side edges. 17. The method of claim 16, wherein the distal tips are substantially triangular. 18. The method of claim 13, wherein the first and second heated pressing surfaces have peripheral edges that are substantially coextensive with each other when the first and second heated pressing surfaces are pressed together. 19. A handheld ironing device for pressing clothing or fabric comprising: a first handle;a first head extending from the first handle comprising a first heatable pressing surface having a proximal end adjacent to the first handle and a distal end, wherein the distal end of the first heatable pressing surface is tapered inwardly from the proximal end;a second handle pivotally mounted in relation to the first handle; anda second head extending from the second handle comprising a second heatable pressing surface opposing the first heatable pressing surface, the second heatable pressing surface having a proximal end adjacent to the second handle and a distal end, wherein the distal end of the second heatable pressing surface is tapered inwardly from the proximal end, wherein the first head is extendable from the first handle and the second head is extendable from the second handle.
