New GPS lingerie – a real find?
After reading this article I simply had to do a post about it. A Brazillian lingerie designer has created a lingerie line that is fitted with a GPS tracking device!
The lingerie has caused a bit of an outrage, as it’s basically a way for men to keep tabs on a woman’s every move, and has even been branded by some as ‘a modern day chastity belt’. The lingerie maker denies this, but if it’s not for this then what exactly is it for?
The lingerie designer argues that the underwear targets the ‘modern, techno-savvy woman’ and that women could wear the lingerie for ‘protection’.
But really, aside from the restrictions on your freedom:
1) How safe does it really make you just because someone knows exactly where you are at all times? If something was to happen to you this lingerie doesn’t actually let anybody know about it, only where you are, and if where you are is far away from the person keeping an eye on you then would good is that? I suppose the lingerie would be helpful in the case of being kidnapped, which I have to say has never really been my worry when walking through a secluded car park at night. Lingerie that would fend off a would-be attacker (maybe shooting lasers fembot style?) - now that’s something I’d like to see!
2) If you really wanted to wear a GPS system why not just get a GPS system instead of this $500 lingerie
3) Yes I said $500 lingerie
Just think how much gorgeous Gok Wan lingerie you could buy for the equivalent of $500. Until they invent the fembot laser bra, I think you’re best off sticking with Gok.
