What? That's beyond dumb then. A bathing suit is meant to go into the water. But I'm pretty sure some random rich person somewhere will buy it for the novelty of having a gold swimsuit.

And is it one-size fits all??? Can't wait to get mine.

Yikes, just when you think no one can come up with a more stupid way to show off their wealth. Such conspicuous consumption is the height of selfishness, arrogance and human stupidity. Too bad that people with such wealth at their disposal can't come up with better ways to spend it. I don't mind that some people are wealthy, but it seems that people who are so blessed ought to enjoy a comfortable lifestyle, put aside enough to remain compfortable, and then use the excess to make the world better in some way, not just spend money to show everyone how much they have. No one needs a pure gold swimsuit that can't even get wet.

Shaquanda, Racist you are. what a stupid statement. But I guess Bill Cosby is right. Then again we do have whites who are equally at stupid in their comments. So I guess stupidity knows no bounds when it comes to race, religion, or what have you. I wonder if when you go swimming in this outfit if you'll sink like a gold brick. And one would think people would do more to help others then keep making these stupid outfits and handbags. After all there is starving kids and adults all over the world.

It's beautiful, but what a waste of money....
even if you can afford it!!! I can think of many ways to spend 82k plus 243k other than on a swimsuit and long dress fabric.

The color is really pretty, but the suit is not particularly attractive. Of course it might look better on someone with a few more curves.

Not bad but not for water, espcially clorinated water. What happens when some of the deep tan oil gets on it??

This is obviously not for the water, especially clorinated water. How does it do when some of the deep tan oil one wears at the pool gets on it??

You'd think perhaps it could be used to just lay in the sun but then again, Gold is a metal- wouldn't it get really hot? This suit is utterly useless!

The gown and the swimsuit are beautiful, but if one knows where (and how) to shop knock offs can be found for a fraction of those prices! We each spend our money as we please, rich or poor. The rich can afford more than someone like me, of course, and that is their privilege. I hope they have charities that they choose to share with, also. I do, however, agree with jabeehler (#4). As for Shaquanda (#1), this blog is about the clothing being modeled, not the women modeling. I am white, and resent your remark about "pale bag of bones" as most models are thin - black, yellow, red, or white. It is time to get over the color issue, don't you think? It's a small planet, can't we share it as human beings, which we all are? Perhaps you are feeling a bit insecure about being black. I wouldn't feel insecure about my race, however if I couldn't spell the word "sister" properly I would most certainly feel insecure about publicy posting anything that would show off my semi-literacy!

To Shaquandra: I'm white, but not a racist. I have often wanted to compliment black women on how gold looks so beautiful against their dark skins. However, I'm afraid I would be accused of SOME kind of racism if I did that. What do you think?
PS I think that the gold bathing (?) suit is awful, no matter what color skin. It's ugly, first off, you can't wear it in the water, and I'll bet it would be real hot to wear sunbathing. Thumbs DOWN!

About the comment from Shaquanda, If I am reading right she wanted to know why a "Sista" could not model that Gold bathing suit? and she said Everbody knows they look better in gold then some Pale Bag of Bones. and then at the end she typed "RACISTS" , Now to me it sounds like Shaquanda is the Racist, and why would anyone worry about something so stupid like what color person is picked to model a dress, sounds real childish to me.

To me, it's not the price or the fact that the bathing suit is made out of gold, it's that the thing's ugly. And by the way Shaq, gold looks best on Italians, like myself.

People, get over it....I thought was making a joke! Stop being so sensitive! This race thing has gotten way out of hand!

What's the old saying, "GO FOR THE GOLD" & "EVERYTHING THAT GLITTERS IS NOT GOLD"

comment from shakazula?? the crackhead sista was too busy,the white girl is still trying to figure out why she keeps getting played by the brothers so they got one of thems europeans girls to model thems gold outfits and it never got ripped off

I think that they are terrific. The next time that I am in Tokyo I think that I will buy a swimsuit for my wife (she is Japanese), and one for my girlfriend (she is Greek). And, I could splurge and buy a couple dresses for my mistresses! How is that for conspicuous consumption! It is my money and I can do what I damned well please with it.

A gold suit, huh .... I wonder if there is a cotton panel sown into the crotch. The lucky recipient of this useless item would certainly not be received well at the local beach to catch some narley waves or engage in some snorkeling. Well, maybe she will be snorkeling, but not in the water .... just on her hubby or gigilo that splurged that day. Ok, I'm tired .... This bathing suit is plain annoying.
