This Pistol Panties 'Anita' maillot swimsuit is covered in 5,000 Swarovski crystals and is absolutely not fit for swimming. It's a bling-kini in the truest sense of the word, with ties behind the neck and a thin beaded gold rope that connects the top and bottom.
I can't imagine the blinding effect this Pistol Panties 'Anita' swimsuit would make poolside on a bright summer afternoon!
Implications - While many families and members of society are still suffering from the recession, others have regained their financial stability and are looking to spend their newfound fortunes. Ordinary products that have been enhanced, upgraded or significantly improved to the point that they are now distinct from their original counterparts will appeal to such individuals. Companies will benefit by providing consumers with extravagant and lavish products that not every consumer will be able to access.
