We know you're constantly wondering what to do with that extra $5 million you have lying around. Well, you could tuck it into your bra using a cup holder, or buy a whole new bra.Luckily, Victoria's Secret has come up with a scrumtillescent new bra for you to blow that wad on -- the Black Diamond Fantasy Miracle Bra. Covered with 3,575 black diamonds and 117 one-carat white round diamonds -- and offset by two totally unnecessary swingin' 100-carat black diamonds -- the bra is perfect for wearing to the office, the gym or just around the castle when you're feeling sparkly.
Not a fan of black diamonds? Prefer something, oh, say, edible? Or perhaps you'd like a bra that helps you tell the time? Click below for Lemondrop's list of the strangest bras around.
(When you're done, be sure to check out our highbrow older brother Asylum's ridiculous gallery of bras made out of food.)
Most Ridiculous Bras Ever
Candy Bra: Eating a candy necklace while wearing it = yummy. Eating a candy bra while wearing it = inappropriate. ($9.99, Candymachines.com)

Photovoltaic-Powered Bra: A portable, solar-powered energy generator to charge your iPod or cellphone on? Cool. A refillable water pouch? Also cool. Both those things hanging from your rack? Hmm. We'll certainly give Triumph International of Japan credit for thinking outside the box, though!

Spitball Bra: We don't fully understand what this Lovable bra is made of... but we do know it looks incredibly itchy and impractical.

Cheesehead Bras: Combine disturbing Packers loyalty and a little alcohol and what do you get? Cheese-tits.

Swatch Bra: This watch-face bra, created for a Swatch fashion show in Korea, is a little tricky for those of us with nipples.

Valentine's Day Bra: Yes, another itchy bra. And this one -- from a Victoria's Secret Valentine's Day collection -- also looks allergy-inducing. We'll stick with a red bra and undies, thanks.

Flower Bras: Spotted in a South Korean lingerie fashion show... Not to be worn by those who suffer from seasonal affective disorder.

Lace-up Nightmare Bra: Why not mix things up in the bedroom by forcing your lover to spend hours untying this lingerie set from Chantal Thomass' Victoria's Secret collection?

Veggie Tales Bra: We actually have no problem with this one, worn by a contestant in a recent Jumbo Queen Contest. We're more interested in the annual Thailand pageant, which rewards the woman who most embodies the characteristics of an elephant -- grace, elegance and size. Amazing.

Now why can't Victoria's Secret take their $5 million and donate to the Breast Cancer Foundation?

So what exactly is the purpose of designing "a bra" that is so expensive no one except maybe Bill Gates or an Arab shiek could afford. Honestly, no woman is worth a 5 Million dollar brassiere. American men need to get over their obcession with breasts, and maybe it would help if the girls keep their God given breasts instead of implants. Does anyone out their have natural boobs? This model doesn't and they look so fake. That's what America has become,
a country of fake people with fake boobs.

I am glad to hear that some readers to this blog do have their original God given breasts. But the numbers don't lie, and when upwards of 200,000 women check in to have implants anually you have to wonder what is going on in our society, where we can't be happy with what we have. There is too much pressure on women to look like their Hollywood counterparts and fashion doesn't help much either where the main focus is on cleavage. Girls who are too young to be having implants (in their teens) are "running" to plastic surgeons to get implants before they have even had time to mature fully. Implants don't last forever either and typically need to be removed/revised every 10 years if not sooner. Implants should be reserved for women who need or require augmentation following mastectomy secondary to breast cancer but this needless enhancement of healthy bodies just seems stupid. Women who have low self esteem or confidence say implants help but they would be better off working on their own personality issues or fashion and not waste $5000-10000 on fake breasts. Of course you will never hear plastic surgeons or the AACS complain, they are making out like bandits but that is another issue. So it's your choice, but as they say, don't mess with Mother Nature.

I definitely agree with you and Krazy 8, it is a extremely ridiculous especially since people are loosing their homes, investments and having to live off of their savings. And, it would make more sense than not, for Victoria's Secret to donate a percentage of every sale, to the Komen Breast Cancer Research Foundation. The American people should only support, companies that support them and invest in this country. IT's Time For Us To Stop Throwing Our Money Away. Just like when you buy stock you either reinvest the dividend , or use the money. The same should be with how we make our purchases? We, now should ask ourselves 1.) Does this company invest in causes that serves the public that buys it products, or does it pocket the money and say the hell with your well being , I'm rich 2) When I purchase this product are the workers those who live in this country and pay taxes or am I supporting jobs overseas? If any of these questions are answered with a no then, you should not support a product that does not support the well being of the American consumer with creating and maintaining a workforce in America.

I also like my boobs the way they are. Natural.
Yeah, the money for that five million bra should have gone to cancer research. Only so many people buy the wristbands and donate, it's time someone made a big contribution!

Why should Victoria's Secret donate to Breast Cancer? So the head of the Breast Cancer foundation can buy a bigger house? So much money is donated to all of these useless foundations and guess what? still no cure.
There never will be either as long as those donations keep coming in!
Victoria Enjoy Your Riches!

That is the most ridiculous thing i have ever heard!. You say there will never be a cure if people keep donating there hard earned cash! Let me think.....Victoria Secret has more money than we can imagine......what better way to use it. Fighting for a cure takes time and money. You say there is too much money at stake...There are LIVES at stake! There are so many muti billion dollor corporations that just throw there money away, and for what? Im not saying people should spend money on themselves, all Im saying is if you have it to give.....give it.
