A few days ago, Victoria’s Secret unveiled their new Fantasy Miracle Bra. If you are familiar with VS, you will know that they have a new luxurious bra every year end in the spirit of Christmas. This year is no exception. Here comes the Victoria’s Secret 2008 Black Diamond Fantasy Miracle Bra created by diamond jeweler, Martin Katz.

2008 Black Diamond Fantasy Miracle Bra

This bra is set with 3575 black diamonds, 117 certified 1 cart round diamonds, and 34 rubies. The tow black diamond drops that you see in the image total 100 carats. Total carat weight is 1500 ct. Total price is US$5 million.

With so many diamonds and rubies, I wonder if they played the song, “Diamonds and Rubies” at the unveiling. Anyway, with this price tag, I wonder if there would be a buyer and if there is, if it will be worn or just for display or as a collector’s item.

Also, I think that Victoria’s Secret should have their Fantasy Miracle bras come with a matching string too. Don’t you think so?

I came across this article on Japan Today a couple of weeks ago but could not seem to find time to collect my thoughts to whip up a post. I have been so busy getting my own lingerie listed on the Store in time for the holidays, you see.

Anyway, once again, Triumph International Japan came out with a social bra like they have done for the past few years. Remember their No Shopping Bag bra, “My Chopstick Bra” and Anti-Smoking bra? This time round, it’s the Jury bra, which I understand, was designed in conjunction with the lay juror system which will start in Japan come 21st May, 2009.

Although I have to say that the Japanese are a pretty creative and innovative lot, this Jury System bra is so ugly, it’s like golden coconut bras. Whenever I see such novelty bras from Triumph International Japan, I have to ask if there is anyone who would buy and wear them. Would you?
