Diamond Thong Worth $122,000 Is Talk Of Fashion Show

Reuters:

A diamond thong worth S$168,000 ($122,000) was the highlight of a lingerie fashion show in Singapore on Thursday.

The Triumph Luxurious Diamond Thong had 518 brilliant-cut diamonds, totaling 30 carats, studded into the front of a black lace thong in a floral pattern. The skimpy underwear that left little to the imagination also had 27 white gold tassels hanging off it.

So you can't spit in Singapore, but you can wear a thong...A Diamond Thong, What's else can't you do in Singapore?

Shouldn't the two men carrying the model out on their shoulders be black Africans with tired, lined faces wearing worn work-clothes, steeled-toed boots and miner's helmets?

Wow! If I play the 1.2 million Stradivarius wearing my $120,000thong, I bet I'll sound like 1.3 million bucks. Now if I could only afford lessons...

The 1% who are benefitting from this economy are perhaps lining up to buy these for their prostitutes and lovers?

Is that part of the Marie Antoinette collection?

That is about right... I just finished reading about over 1 million Iraqi widows trying to survive their destitute lives with tiny $60/month government pensions while other people in the world worry about making diamond thongs...g­ood grief.

When it comes right down to it, isn't this is just a glorified over the top and ridiculously expensive crack cover?

The Diamond Thong: We Presume She Gets To Keep The Sample
AFEW NOTABLES FROM THE NEWS:
CrabbyGolightly.com reports:
A diamond-crusted thong is the highlight of a Singapore lingerie fashion show. Reuters reports, "The Triumph Luxurious Diamond Thong had 518 brilliant-cut diamonds, totaling 30 carats, studded into the front of a black lace thong in a floral pattern. The skimpy underwear that left little to the imagination also had 27 white gold tassels hanging off it." The model swears it isn't uncomfortable at all but that it's hard to handwash. We thought surely the model would be able to keep the cloth, but apparently the snatch patch will be sent off for drycleaning and then put on display. Wasn't that what they did during the show?

I guess you could call this a fine example of conspicuous consumerism.
