$12,500,000 gets you a bra made of 18-karat white gold, 2900 diamonds, 22 rubies, and large focal diamond.

Wow. I wonder if anyone would actually buy it. Well, someone probably would. All I know is that if I had that much money, I'd spend it on something besides a bra; such as a huge mansion or perhaps an army of hair minions.

There are women out there spending beaucoup dollars on breast surgery (I am refering to implants to make'em bigger   ??? ) and there will be women who will buy this bra.

With that kind of money you can do a lot of good elsewhere

But where would you wear it?  ::) :-X ;D

I think only one thing: Why?

Wouldn't it be nice if we worked on our insides for the holidays?  I could consider the bra if the proceedes were for a worthy charity and came with a cool body form for display.  Having worn metal coin bras for bellydancing I can't imagine wearing a metal bra w/o fabric underneath.

Oh, another one of those...no thanks, I've already got 2 or 3 now...

YEAH RIGHT!  :P

I guess I'll just be sticking to my $9.99 Wal-Mart bras & be happy about it!

:o That thing would never fit me! ::)  I would rather buy a house with the money.

"A" house??  You must have grand ideas for your home!!   ;D

In Santa Barbara, where the housing cost is way high, you can even get 12 houses for that amount!  lol  But one single 12 million dollar home would be grand.  

I think someone crazy out there would buy it.  VS comes out with one every year, and they wouldn't keep doing it unless it sells.  I think they also just make one, so it also appeals to jewelry collectors. It kind of reminds me of Faberge eggs.

Yeah, I wouldn't go around wearing it.  Enquiring minds want to know - does it pinch??

I dream big! No really, I would buy all my friends houses too! ;D

Man, that would be a good idea for a charity auction.   But its just conspicuous spending at its finest!

I think they produce it for the advertising.  I remember someone actually wore last year's model on Jay Leno.  They even showed all the security guards that were around!  I know the person modeling it did not own it.

Egad, so not worth the price! But we knew that...

I love Victoria's Secret, but....yikes!

There's plenty else I could spend that money on instead, even if it is kind of pretty. Besides, too fancy for me. I'm a simple gal.

A 101 carat boulder? Actually I rather like the thing. I find it quite stunning and incredibly frivolous (like my car collection which she hounds me about). I wish I could get it for Lady Rat so she could have something frivolous, too.

Ah, but that would require selling millions of copies of Best Friends............

I'm a poor lowly rodent with dreams of a rich man.

Awww, that is so sweet!!  Lady Rat is lucky to have such a thoughtful hubby.  :-D

I really like it too.  I think it's because I read a lot of fantasy books, and it reminds me of something elves would craft out of mithril.  I would be more than happy with a replica with fake gemstones though.  :-)

How sweet of you, Sir Rat, to wish such luxury on Lady Rat.  :-*

do you think they will make one for nursing??? ;D  

maybe for donald trumps wife??? :P

Hmmmm, probably not - the diamonds might cut the little guy's gums/lips.   ;D

I'm with Sakina...it's certainly pretty, but it's not probably even comfortable, and it sure is about as wasteful as a thing can be.

But then...I don't understand the point in owning much more than one needs in order to satisfy basic needs- if I ever came up with that kind of money, I'd just give it away to charity.

*OUCH*

It's nice, but like i said *OUCH*- for the price and for the ...well you know :P

Anyway, the first thing i would do with that money, is  spend most of that money on LL hairsticks, and other hair toys, now THAT would be worth it ;D, then would come the charity, and house and all that stuff
