         9 . The shower curtain liner object support system of  claim 8 , wherein said latch is biased towards said closed position. 
     
     
         10 . The shower curtain liner object support system of  claim 9 , wherein said latch extends from said second surface of said base towards said end portion of said hook portion when in said closed position. 
     
     
         11 . The shower curtain liner object support system of  claim 10 , wherein said latch is comprised of a resilient material. 
     
     
         12 . The shower curtain liner object support system of  claim 11 , wherein said latch is integrally formed with said base. 
     
     
         13 . The shower curtain liner object support system of  claim 10 , wherein said latch is comprised of an elongated member. 
     
     
         14 . The shower curtain liner object support system of  claim 5 , wherein said base is comprised of a broad and flat structure, wherein said base is parallel with respect to said interior surface of said shower curtain liner. 
     
     
         15 . The shower curtain liner object support system of  claim 1 , wherein said hook device is comprised of a hook with a latch. 
     
     
         16 . The shower curtain liner object support system of  claim 15 , wherein said latch is biased towards a closed position. 
     
     
         17 . The shower curtain liner object support system of  claim 1 , wherein said hook device is positioned within a lower portion of said interior surface of said shower curtain liner. 
     
     
         18 . A shower curtain liner object support system, comprising:
 a shower curtain liner having an interior surface, an exterior surface opposite of the interior surface, an upper end, a lower end opposite of the upper end, a first end and a second end opposite of the first end, wherein said shower curtain liner is comprised of a flexible sheet material; and   at least one hook device attached to said interior surface of said shower curtain liner, wherein said hook device is adapted to receive and support a corresponding object;   wherein said hook device includes a base having a first surface and a second surface, wherein said first surface is attached to said interior surface of said shower curtain liner;   wherein said hook device includes a hook portion that extends outwardly and downwardly from said second surface of said base forming an opening with said base;   wherein said hook device includes a latch, wherein said latch has a closed position and an open position, wherein said closed position prevents the object from passing through said opening and wherein said open position allows the object to pass through the opening.   
     
     
         19 . The shower curtain liner object support system of  claim 18 , wherein said at least one hook device is comprised of a plurality of hook devices attached to said interior surface of said shower curtain liner, wherein said plurality of hook devices are distally spaced apart from one another along a lower portion of said interior surface of said shower curtain liner in a horizontally aligned row. 
     
     
         20 . A shower curtain liner object support system, comprising:
