NOT A*MUSED

Another actress who shouldn’t shred her main meal ticket anytime soon is Pamela Anderson, who debuted her organic clothing collection at New Zealand Fashion Week in September. A collaboration with former Heatherette Richie Rich, A*Muse doesn’t shy away from gratuitous displays of bare flesh or offbeat stylistic choices like drop-crotch harem pants.

Most distressing, however, are the outfits Anderson decided to don herself, as she strutted down the runway, including a sheer white sheet that left nothing to the imagination and a gold lamé swimsuit that one reviewer called “Borat-inspired.”

JEEPERS CREEPERS

Where’d you get those peepers? The LED eyelashes by Soomi Park are batty, to say the least. Designed to make your eyes look wider, these light-up ocular embellishments come equipped with inclination sensors that track movement, so you can flick the lashes on or off with a tilt of your head. Suddenly, “turn around Bright Eyes” takes on a whole different meaning.

BIG IN JAPAN

For lingerie that will give you a real charge between the sheets, look no further than Triumph Japan’s Taiyoko Hatsuden Bra, or “Solar Power Bra.” The concept cami-and-panty set, which was designed to promote eco-awareness and clean energy, features a built-in photovoltaic panel that can generate enough juice for a cell phone or iPod. Okay, we can work with that, but can someone explain the point of the electronic scoreboard and pair of drinking pouches nestled (strategically?) against the bustline?
