Fashion Week Swim's Most Outrageous Bathing Suit Statements (PHOTOS, POLL)

Fashion Week Swim always brings out the best and the brightest beachwear looks...or at least the brightest.

While the shiny, slinky, strappy ensembles certainly lit up Miami's runways, we have to wonder which of these swimwear get-ups would actually work on the beach. Hey, Herve Leger's $1,050 bandage bathing suit that can't be worn in water had to get its start somewhere.

Take a look at the nuttiest numbers from Fashion Week Swim and tell us: which of these suits (and turbans, feathers or veils) would you sport in the sand?

The model in the bathing bride swimsuit is so beautiful, she looks so healthy and curvy.

That's Kate Upton. She's 19, natural and my new favorite model.

Why are many of these girls so huge and average looking??? I even saw one with stretch marks!!! Shouldn't models be hot?

You have got to be kidding! They are all beautiful and none of them are HUGE! A few of these models could probably afford to gain a few pounds...

I just wish some of these women filled up these bikinis a bit more. But what do I know-- I'm just a straight guy that loves women.

The slideshow promised outrageous bathing suit designs, but all I saw was a parade of Brazilian sex trade workers. Was there a mix-up?

Hmmm.... I think I'll stick with my standard bikini.
