Lingerie with a GPS tracking device: Creepy or sexy?

We've always thought that the gift of lingerie was more about the gift giver than actually something for us (who's really reaping the benefits of that sexy little bra? Not really you), but this latest innovation is taking the selfish-present idea to a whole new level.

Brazilian company LindeLucy Lingerie has just put out a collection of underwear called  “Find Me If You Can.” Each of the pieces—ranging from bras to teddies to garter belts—is equipped with a built-in, pager-sized GPS system that allows those with the password to track your whereabouts online.

Though it seems terrible and uncomfortable and just plain scary to us, designer Lucia Iorio argues that her lingerie is playful and empowering, not the ideal tool for obsessive boyfriends who want to hunt you down, keep you under their control, and perhaps Star 80 you if you try to run away. She explains: "This collection is a wink to women and a challenge to men because, even if she gives him the password to her GPS, she can always turn it off. She can be found only if she wants to [be]."

Huh.

Well, if this sounds like fun for you, the pieces can be found on LindeLucy's website and retail for $800 to $1,100.

    I guess a sexy version of hide and seek, but you could play that with your everyday GPS enabled phone, hello!

    Lingerie is not necessarily about the gift giver. I have always felt more confident and generally in a better mood while wearing something sexy that only I know about. I also feel a little naughty too; that gives me a little thrill!
