Megan ByrneInvisible Bikini

Noticed an ad at the top of my last post for an "invisible bikini", and just had to investigate.
Apparently the Japanese aren't satisfied with having designed electronics, cars and robots, they've decided to extend themselves and invent the invisible bikini. For the moment they seem to have only the top half figured out: a skin-coloured, waterproof, adhesive top very similar to those self adhesive strapless bras, that from a distance looks for all the world like you are wearing nothing at all.
Click here to watch the video (the quality is not so great, sorry guys).
The point of this? I have no idea. If you want to look like you're wearing nothing, wear nothing. They do it in Europe. I don't understand wearing something that looks like you're wearing nothing. Although I suppose that's the intention of the majority of underwear such as g-strings. But we wear clothes over those! Don't we?
While we're on the topic of invisible bikinis, you should also know there was a 1966 movie called The Ghost in the Invisible Bikini. Clearly the title character wasn't satisfied with being transparent; perhaps the bikini was an added precaution? Directed by Don Weis, and starring Boris Karloff (Frankenstein) and Nancy Sinatra, the film can supposedly be classified as a comedy, a horror flick, and a musical, which is highly intriguing. But then another reviewer described it as just another 60's "beach movie". The trailer is below.
If you need any further clues about the quality of the film, take the words of Karloff himself:
"My wife is a woman of very great taste. That's why she has never seen any of my films."
But then, the man had five wives.
