Fashion that makes us sad: This $3,000 bikini

I know. You're sick of hearing about rich people and their worthless, expensive stuff. And I'm sorry to do this to you, but...OH MY GOD. SERIOUSLY? This bathing suit, which to my eye resembles a combination sports bra/bedazzled jockstrap, will be sold by Selfridges in London for the low, low price of $2,986. It's designed by a company called Pistol Panties (sigh) and made from 5,000 Swarovski crystals. Also? You can't swim in it. So it's more of a lounging-around piece that's built from tiny rocks. It's a jewel-kini! Imagine how that feels on your butt!

Given all of these facts, is it any surprise that there's a waiting list to buy these sparkly suits? That they're actually on backorder at Selfridges?

Uggggghhhh. Stop the insanity, people. Splurge on a gilded $200 suit and give $2,800 to, like, world hunger or something. There's no way this glitter torture device is worth it.
