Hasta La Ideas

While many of us are hitting up Target and the sale racks at Victoria’s Secret to stock up on bargain swimwear this season, others overseas are opting to splurge on more impractical poolside pieces, such as The Anita by Pistol Panties, for example, a suit made exclusively for London-based Selfridges department store. Made with 5,000 Swarovski crystals, the appropriately-dubbed “bling-kini” doesn’t officially go on sale until later this week (for about $2986 in American money), yet stores in London, Manchester, and Birmingham already have rapidly-growing wait-lists of cost-fearless crazies who can’t wait to get their hands on one. I guess if you have three months worth of rent to spare, there’s nothing wrong with trying to live a little — as long as it doesn’t involve swimming, because that’s strictly off-limits in this morbidly-priced maillot! So if you happen to be strolling along the beach and see someone who resembles a glistening stained glass window headed for the waves, do them a favor and stop them before they dump $3000 down the drain (as if they haven’t already). In my humble opinion, I say that if we can’t even swim in it, they could have at least made it cute!

Price: Ridiculous.
Who Found It: Victoria1 was the first to add the Anita Bling-Kini to the Hive.
