If you happen to be exempt from the effects of our economy and have a cool $122,000 to spare, you might want to "invest" that cash in diamonds, and by diamonds, we mean a diamond-detailed thong.

At a lingerie fashion show in Singapore for Triumph International, two shirtless male models carried model Danielle Luminita down the runway on their shoulders. Danielle was showcasing a black lace thong with 518 brilliant-cut diamonds in a floral pattern. The total weight of the diamonds was 30 carats.

Of course, the 27 tassels made of white gold that were attached to the thong probably added to its value.
