    I'm very, very confused, but I think I'm sending my girlfriend a link to this now.

    Maybe she could explain whatever that was.

    Some of these look a littttttle more ridiculous than other AP stuff or La Perla or Le Petite Coquette. Were I to (ok, fine, when I) purchase these for a female on whom I would see them I probably would at least forgo showing the recipient of the gifts the ad campaign?

    Definitely in favor of AP, despite the aforementioned cost. Some things I prefer not to skimp on.

    I resent the implication that io9 readers are juvenile, sex-obsessed chauvinist pigs who think getting their other half to dress up like Princess Leia is synonymous with female empowerment.

    On the other hand, Elmira is pretty as a picure...

    ...Admittedly, it's a racy picture from one of those magazines I've only ever read for the articles, but that's not important right now.

    So who is this for? Do the girls go for these? I mean, I'm sure traditional males and non-traditional females find these appealing, but is it meant to be purchased for the partners, or does this lend a feeling of empowerment to the ones wearing it? Would any of the women here buy these for themselves?

    @TemporalSword: AP stuff is really expensive and really tiiiiny. So people who gots the cash would, I probably would if I could afford it. And if I could afford it I'd also be typing from my island retreat right now.

    @crashedpc: The banana hammock is an urban legend we only remember from Borat and that sexual innuendo guy Todd from Scrubs.

    I'm quite sure there is an etsy-shop selling the "Bullet" outfit. It's mostly magic marker and thread, even I could make that, and I can't tie my laces.
