Solar powered Bikini

There's been some great weather recently and i can imagine you have all been thinking " oh no i need a brand new bikini that's unique and bursting with technology so i can swim and charge my ipod so i will never have to stop listening to music". If that is the case, and i can imagine it is, you should have a look at this. A brooklyn based designer called Andrew Schneider has created a solar powered bikini. It is capable of charging both mobile phones and MP3 players. It's completley safe as it uses a low charge and transfers the chagre straight from the bikini into the device so no electricity is stored and you can still swim (as long as you unplug everything). So if you want to be the thing all your friends are jealous about don't hesitate to get one.
How:
It uses thin, flexible strips of Photovoltaic film strips and usb connecters, don't pretend you don't know what i'm talking about.
How much:
Each handmade bikini taking around 80 hours to make comes in at just under $200.
