  Or they could give the 2,800 to me...lol. I'm sorry but I couldn't see spending that kind of money on a bathing suit you can't even swim in..I got mine at Wal-Mart for a whopping 15 bucks (tax included) and it is way cuter than this one!!!

  Nearly $3,000.00 for a bathing suit you can’t swim in? In these economic times I can’t understand why designers are still even pushing to do things like this. I think its well past time for designers to realize that most people cannot afford this type of bathing suit and most people wouldn’t wear something this tacky. Bejeweled or not, this is not the way people should be spending money in these hard times.

Is no one interested in aesthetics anymore- and pretty FABULOUS fashion at that. You need to come down to the Bahamas. I would just LOVE to wear that BEAUTIFUL suit around MY harbour...

  It's like cathedral camouflage. It reminds me of my grandma's lamp shades, too.

  One one level, I tend to agree that there isn't much use complaining that some people will want to buy a $3000 swimsuit. If someone got their $3000 legally, then in this country they can pretty much spend it on whatever they want.

  HOWEVER... that thing is ugly. If it's a suit you can't swim in, then it's just a laying-out suit. But wouldn't that create a pretty weird tan line? That's not glamorous.

  It's stupid.
